How do I use ffdshow as my avi compressor?

How do I use ffdshow as my avi compressor?

(OP)
I am recording a live video feed, but it appear that I cannot use ffdshow as the compressor.  I get and error stating,


"%??? Error using ==> avifile.set>setCompression
%Compressor must be 'Cinepak', 'Indeo3', 'Indeo5', 'MSVC',', 'RLE', 'None', or a four charater compression code (fourcc)."

I would like to use ffdshow since it incorporates live image processing in which I have included a .avs script to deinterlace the feed.  Is there anyway that I can use a compressor not listed in the error above?
