avi encoding with tmpgenc

[Fozzy_Bear]

ok i have had this problem a few times and just put it down to the files.

i have downloaded a couple of movies that i want to convert to vcd/svcd. the encoder accepts everything and runs saying theyre were no errors at all yet there is no video in completed files. just a black screen with the audio.

any one know how to fix this. the last movie i tried with was dog soldiers, is it just the file.

help much appriciated

Need more information. What you have given is a little vague. I assume you have downloaded DivX encoded AVI file? and you want to convert it to VCD or SVCD format using TMPGEnc?

Is that right?

it is an avi file. it plays fine as avi.

and i'm using the basic templates provided with tmepgenc

Unless you have a T1 (or better connection) that *.avi IS DivX

Ensure you have the correct DivX codec

It comes in many 'flavours' : 3.11 , 4.02, 5 and so on .......

ok i will say it again the file works fine to play it as avi. i have the most uptodate codecs i can get.

but when i convert it it comes out as a black screen but the audio is fine. that is the problem.
