problem conv XviD avi -> mpeg1

[bUR]

I have an XviD encoded avi which I want to convert to mpeg1 to play it on my DVD. My problem, TMPGEnc refuses to open the avi file ("...can not open or unsupported") and CCE just produces a distorted output file (but gives no error message).

According to G-Spot the movie uses the XviD and the ac3 codec, which I have both installed on my system. The video has an aspect ratio of 1.818:1 @ 23.976fps. The file plays without problems on my system using WMP. I just can't convert it using TMPEnc/CCE.

Any ideas?

Thanks, bUR

Yes, thanks. I figured it out myself in the meantime.

For those who might encounter the same problem:

I extracted the audio as ac3 using virtualdub, then converted it to wav using headAC3. Then I frameserved the video using virtualdub to TMPGEnc and used the wav-file as the audio source. That worked perfectly.

I have the same probolem, but I cant open it in virtualdub either! But plays fine on wmp.

virtualdub flashes an error really fast, I think it says something along the lines of cannot find compressor xvid unknown.

tried nandub, and it wont even open, it says cannoy find vorbisfile.dll

try what with it, I d/l it and wtf does it do?

[mats.hogberg]

Just install it. No idea how it works or what it does, but it sure helped me with every problem I had with XviDs, even if I had every codec needed installed.

Go to https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=147444&highlight=xvid. Look for a post by gifted_retard. Follow his link and his instructions. If you have a valid xvid file you can change it to a divx file which V-Dub and TMPG can handle. I believe there are at least 4 different Xvid codecs that you can use. If you don't have the right one installed, you may not be able to load the video into V-Dub or TMPG. If you change it instead to a Divx file, you should have no problem. 8)
