avi's are unsupported using TMPG

[bostonbruinfan]

I just downloaded teo movies, one is an avi and the other is a divx..when I attempt to encode, I get an error stating that the file is unsupported...how do I fix that in order to proceed with the encoding?

Are you sure the download isn't corrupt? Can you play both movies perfectly?

Virtual dub can corect a corrupt avipen your avi in virtual dub,save the file as old format avi , use compression for both video and audio streams, in full processing mode.I am curious whether this will work
