Problems converting xvid.avi to mpeg2 with tmpeg2

[GameOver69]

I just bought tmpeg 2 and i wanted to conver this movie file which is a xvid file, or .avi format and when i select it as a video file it says its either unsupported or corrupted, but for the audio file it selects it fine. Now i doubt its corrupt cause the movie runs fine in any media player... but to say its unsupported??? i went to afonic's dvd guides and it said it converts divx, and xvid avis!! what do i do??? do i need a different program? thanks

Hi,

I have a similar problem. Once I start encoding with Tmpeg it gets to frame 1 and then freezes.
I am trying to add subtitles to the video using ffdshow. Therefore the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader is already set on 2 (top of VFAPI List)
And when I tried to rip the wav file using Virtualdub, it says I haven't got a decompressor installed. Gspot says, I have 5 compatible audio and 3 compatible Xvid codecs installed.

At the moment I'm scanning for bad frames using Virtualdub, but in case I do have some and have to delete them, won't that mess up the subtitles later on?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

So, the Virtualdub scan has finished and it says I have "0 frames masked (0 frames bad, 0 frames good but undecodable).

I don't know what to do now.

Go to Option->Environmental Setting...->VFAPI plug-in and
adjust the plug-in priorities to match the following:

DirectShow Multimedia File Reader.......3
AVI2(OpenDML) File Reader.................1
AVI VFW compatibility Reader..............0
CyberLink MPEG-2 Decoder.................0
Microsoft MPEG-1 Decoder...................0
Wave File Reader................................0
BMP/PPM/TGA/JPG File Reader............-2
DVD2AVI Project File Reader 1.76+.....-2
TMPGEnc Project File Reader 2.58........-2

that should allow you to convert the xvid however u want

Cheers

Thanks for the help, but sadly it didn't make any difference. I still get a "Program not responding" note, after the first second.

Other movies work, though.
Is there any other simple encoding program (with subtitle support) that work just as good as Tmpeg?

Thanks
