MikTex error for PNG images when trying to produce DVI

I have the following line in my tex file:

  \includegraphics[width=1.0\textwidth]{pic.png}

There is no error with pdflatex, but When I try to build it by latex command I get this error:

Cannot determine size of graphic pic.png (no Bounding box).

How can I fix this error?

Update:

I could fix(?) it by inserting two more values(natwidth and natheight) to `includegraphics'. Now I can build my file, however I'm not sure that it is the right way to do it.

See the linked questions above. In short: latex does not support PNG, JPG or PDF images. Only EPS. – Martin Scharrer Jul 03 '11 at 08:58
@Martin: Not exactly. Dvips does not support PNG, JPG or PDF images, but dvipdfm(x) supports. In TeX Live 2010+, latex -shell-escape will call extractbb on the fly to get bounding boxes of these images. And Oberdiek's bmpsize package helps dvipdfm(x) determine bounding boxes of PNG and JPG images. – Leo Liu Jul 03 '11 at 15:10
@Leo: indeed, there are ways around that but in principle latex doesn't support these format, i.e. is unable to extract their sizes by itself. – Martin Scharrer Jul 03 '11 at 15:12
