virtual dub error

[razzcal]

I am trying to run an avi file in virtual dub to check for bad frames...but I get the following error.

Couldnt locate decompressor for format DIV3 (microsoft-high-speed MPED-4-V3

{Hackivx low-motion}

Virtual Dub requires a video for windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. Direct show codecs such as those used by windows media player are not suitable.

I am also using AVI2SVCD to convert the AVi to MPEG , but when I try to convert I get cannot find scenarist file...says it does not exist.


any help would be appreciated

Use GSpot to find out what codec you have and what codec you need.

[razzcal]

Ok I ran GSpot

Under video codec section:

4CC: div 3 NameivX 3 Low-Motion
Codec Misconfigured

- - ** Problem ** ** File Missing: C:\WINDOWS\System32\divxdec.ax

[Tommyknocker]

So do you know how to load the DivX 3 codec?

[Gazorgan]

Alternate Solution:

MPEG4 is MPEG4 (DivX/XviD). Use the 4cc Changer and change the header to read divx/divx . VDUB should now be able to load the file (assuming you have an MPEG4 codec installed in the first place? such as DivX 5.x)

[Tommyknocker]

So if he does use your solution, will he have to do this for every DivX 3 file he comes across?

[razzcal]

Sorry , I was out so I missed the reply's...No I dont know how to install DivX 3 codec or where to get it.

Also...what does it mean with that scenarist file in avi2svcd

[Craig Tucker]

Divx 3.11
If you had looked in our tools section you would have found it there.

[razzcal]

Ok...I will look there...thanks


Do you know anything about that error looking for the scenarist file in AVI2SVCD
