Invalid avi chunk??

[Msd]

Man this is a pain in the ass. I did a huge 2.3 gb capture the other day and all worked fine. Used Vidcap, and the morgan mjpeg codec to capture with. 388*352 (some stupid seeting my wintv card uses).

Anyways when i now try and covert the file to somethin using any program i get the following error message.

Invalid AVI file: LIST chunk <4 bytes.

can someone please help cause i cant GRab this again

Your AVI seems to be corrupt.
There's nothing to do about it but recaptering the whole bunch. Be sure you capture in the correct size (352x288 for PAL/SECAM or 352x240 for NTSC), because this is mosttimes the reason that AVI gets corrupt (I've had it with a capture via my DC-10 : 352x576). With me, it was TMPEGenc that corrupted everything !

Make sure you use capture mode (f6) not the compatibility mode(f5) mode. The f5 mode will only work for captures that end up under 2 gb. I have made this mistake many times until I finally found the answer on the virtualDub website.

This is the thing. When i load up something to capture i get the strangest sizes to grab in 384*288,

Im using a wintv PCI card so if anyone could help that would be great.
