I downloaded a Divx movie (StarShip Troopers) for a friend. I told him that i can burn it to a CD as Data (not VCD or anything VIDEO) he said OK. Then I showed him one of my CVDs and just wanted to become greedy and so he wanted StarShip Troopers on some form of Video CD.

Problem: I Opened the file of TMPGEnc and there was an Illegal MPEG stream error, crashed. I opened Virtual Dub and then ran the "scan Video stream for errors" feature. To my surprise the video was fixed. But here is the problem. I read somewhere to avoid encoding more than twice as much as possible (Divx(?) to Divx 5.0.2). I didn't want that option so I choose No compression for the video and extracted the Wav. The output file was going to be 78 gigabytes. I canceled and then compressed it to Divx 5.0.2 video codec. I then loaded it up to TMPGEnc and started encoding. When I played it back, I was very unhappy with the quality at CVD. Any other codecs either don't work or TMPGEnc doesn't load or are hacked and VDub crashes.

Asking: What I want to know is, is there anyway to save the "scan video stream for errors" feature with out re compressing the video?

Specs: Using CVD or KSVCD at 23 fps at 3000 bit rate 1:1 VGA at either 352x480 or 352x280. At 2 pass VBR. Stereo at 224 41000MHz.

PC specs.
P3 1ghz
128 Ram
7200 RPM HD
Note: I have already installed Nimo codecs

i don't recall that particular error message in tmpgenc concerning opening an avi in it, but you may want to try this....

copied from the www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgenc.htm guide

Try first to change the codec reader settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 and try open the video
