Newbie question

[DANM]

I have downloaded a movie in Dvix format. It plays fine with win media player and WinDvd 4.0, but I can't get TMPGnc to work. Just get a blank screen. My question is if it plays ok with win media and WinDvd does this mean that I have the correct codecs loaded? Thanks for any help.

try this:
under OPTIONS -> Enviromental setting -> VFLAPI Plug-in, right click the direct show reader, and increase priority until it is the highest
might do the trick
are you doing 2 pass vbr? if so, you will see no video at all until after the first pass is entirely finished

Thanks for the help fantomloar. I'm so new at this I don't know if I'm doing a 2 pass vrb or not? I just use the menu that comes up with TMPGnc and follow the directions from there. I have been able to make some movies that are not divx format. 'm give the adjustments a shot.
