Problem with avi - mpeg conversion with TMPGEnc & VirtualDub

[ILoveDaicon]

I am trying to convert an avi file to mpeg so I can play it in my DVD player.

After dling the file I opened TMPGEnc and tried opening the file. It said it was an unsupported format and couldn't be opened.

I then tried to open the file in VirtualDub and received the following error:

Couldn't locate decopressor forformat 'DIV3' (Microsoft High Speed MPEG-4 V3)

It also said VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video and DirectShow codec such as those used by WMP are not suitable.

Also when I play the file in WMP is shows up as audio only.

Can this file be converted?

What type of avi file you have ?
Is it a avi capture with your DV ?
I'm guessing but looking at your error mgs I think that's what it is
You need special codec:
http://www.mainconcept.com (demo only)
or you can use AviSynth script,something like this:

avisource("C:\windows\desktop\New folder\test.avi&quot
bob
Assumefps (29.976) #lowest cce will allow
AssumeFieldBased
ConvertToYUY2
temporalsmoother(2,1)
biLinearResize(480,480)
ResampleAudio(44100)

I am not sure what type. I believe it is an avi capture with DV but I can't be sure because I didn't encode it.

The DV Codec is the one I would want off of the link, right?

I do have to ask you what AviSynth is and how it's used?

Thanks for the reply.

Here you can read a bit about Avisynth
how big is this file?
in regards to Avisynch, open NOTEPAD
and copy this exactly as you see it, and save it e.g.
script.AVS , you name it whatever you like but you have to have "AVS" at the end.
avisource("C:\windows\desktop\New folder\test.avi"
bob
Assumefps (29.976)
AssumeFieldBased
ConvertToYUY2
temporalsmoother(2,1)
biLinearResize(480,480)
ResampleAudio(44100)
now these settings are for NTSC

I have avi2vcd and trying to turn it to a mpeg so i can turn it to a vcd but it says you may not have a codec or a direct show installed for this type of video if you can please help.

The file size is 576MB. Is this file size to large for this prgram?

I tried the script you gave me and got the following error message:

AVISource: couldn't locate a decompressor for fourcc div3
(C:\Windows\Desktop\Script.avs, Line 1)

I am guessing Div3 is a codec I need. I have never heard of it.

Thanks for all your help.

I figured it out. I needed the newer DivX codec DivX4. TMPGEnc works fine now.

Nodogg you may want to check if you have the newest DivX codec.

Thanks again mega5 for all your help.
