Can play DiVX in media player but can't load in TMPGEnc

[z68h]

hi all. first off, i don't consider myself a newbie but i just wanted to post in the right forum.

i have some downloaded AVI files that i want to convert to VCD. i have the DiVX codec installed and i can play the movies fine in Media Player but when i load them into TMPGEnc it says that it can't open the file or the file format is unsupported. i am using the latest version of TMPGEnc. i downloaded other clips from the same site and they worked fine.

i renamed the files and some of the names are quite long would that make a difference?

thanks for the help.

ps: i am running WinXP and i am using DiVX codec 3.11

You could try to extract the audio 1st... maybe thats the error, if not.. reply, and i'll think of something else...

Try to higher the priority of the direct show multimedia file reader.
Options > enviromental settings > VFAPI plugin

does the avi have VBR audio?
if so that might be the problem.
On Doom9 there a guide on that.
