Use gspot to check your source file information. You could post the result here, and others may be able to help you with that information.

This is the information on the files

File : 400 MB (400 MB), duration: 1:16:32, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 31 %
Video : 365 MB, 666 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 320*240 (4:3), DX50 = DivXNetworks Divx v5, Supported
Audio : 35 MB, 64 Kbps, 32000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3, Supported

If this can help

thanx

You might try updating your divx codec, or, better yet, dump divx and install the latest xvid build. Also, try updating your direct show filter. I had the same problem with some avi files in tmpgenc, and one of these two things solved the problem. Can't tell you which because i foolishly did both before checking to see if the problem was solved.

can you tell me what divx codec you would recommended ?
the official one came with spywares ...

and also how can i update the direct show filter ?

first, if you haven't already, uninstall divx. then, follow these links - https://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=ffdshow and https://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=XviD_Codec to get what you need. This xvid build will play divx files, as well, without the spyware.

I just installed the 2 codec mentionned above and it sill does not recognize the video in tmpgenc

Do you have any other idea so i can convert these 2 avi files info mpg2 ?

Can you tell me how can i update direct show filter ?

Here's two totally separate fixes:
First, in tmgenc, go to option>environmental settings>VFAPI plug in and see what priority number directshow is at (default is -2 I think). Right click on directshow and select higher priority. Then click ok and check to see if your video works. If not try doing it again (from -1 to 0) and keep repeating this process till it gets to the top of the list. If your video still doesn't play, try the second option.

Second option is to download an upgrade of directx itself. Here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx

In the past I've had the same problem and to this day, have to change the priority settings between each new avi I open. Also try putting "AVI VFW compatibility reader" on the top of the list, and "AVI2(Open DML) File reader" at the top of the list. Maybe one of those will fetch the picture.
