purple color after conversion

[trenchy]

A friend of my converts divx with tmpenc to vcd.
But these vcd's has during playing purple colors in the picture
It is not the whole time but very often.
How does that appears and how can he prevent it?
Has it something to do with windowsXP of the video card (voodoo3D)

If you get an error message when opening the video or audio like file unsupported
or you get an empty(black) video preview window
or the video look wierd in the video preview window like green or purple or pink
Be sure that you have installed the DivX Codecs (both DivX 3.11, 4 and 5) and also try with the Nimo Codec Pack. If that does not work try 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.
