DivX Movie - Error

[DVation]

When trying to convert a DivX movie to another format I will sometimes find that some frames are corrupt, and cannot be decompressed, or so VirtualDub tells me. In order to fix this I was told to try loading the file into VirtualDub and going to Video >> Scan Video Stream for Errors..., but even this process will result in an error when there are frames which cannot be decompressed most likely from corruption of s resumed download. Does anybody have any other suggestions as to how I can either fix or delete this frames? A program that would do it automatically would be even better! Thanks.

After using virtualdub to scan stream for errors, do you resave the avi file, with vdub-video and audio set to direct stream copy, then from file menu do save avi?

If you dont do this you are still processing the old corrupt movie file!

thats actually part of the problem, when i scan for errors using virtualdub, it crashes at the same point TMPGenc did. i never get the chance to resave it.

If the avi file is SO corrupt that it crashes virtualdub then I can only think that you have a VERY bad divx encode and its not worth bothering with. Only suggestions I can think of is re-download the movie from a different source (if you can!), or maybe your v-dub installation is faulty so re-download and re-install that.

Sorry I cant be of more help.
