Divx 6 id'd as xvid in virtualdub

[edwoodweb]

all was great before I installed Tmpeg DVD author w/divx support

I record live TV with WinVDR and divx 6.5 to avi format, dx50 is the 4cc
records gr8
plays with divx or ffdshow in zoom player
but
when I try to inport it into virtualdub 1.6 it ID's it as xvid - virtualdub crashes

change 4cc to "xvid" - virtualdub crashes

change 4cc to "divx" - all is well and bye bye adds, chop chop

any ideas on how I can tell virtualdub that dx50 is divx and not xvid

thx

That may well be your answer right there. Uninstall it and see if it is fixed.

Start -> All Programs -> Xvid -> Configure Decoder -> FourCC Support -> uncheck DX50.

want to figure out why so I can use Tmpeg DVD author

Start -> All Programs -> Xvid -> Configure Decoder -> FourCC Support -> uncheck DX50.

wierd, no Xvid in my start menu, even tho I have it installed

jagabo any chance you could post the target line from xvid config shortcut
would rather not get into a install/uninstall cycle untill i've tried enerything else


thx for the ideas guys !

That fine, but wouldn't a fix by uninstalling prove that it is definitely something that TDA is doing ?

At the moment you've got a whole spectrum of avenues to ignore. At least if you can narrow it down then it should be quicker to fix.

Xvid Config shortcut:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe xvid.ax,Configure

Paste into Start -> Run

my bad !

had bi-directional encoding enabled in divx,
TDA musta enabled it on install and I never saw it

turn that off and no more "packed bitstream" in G-spot
opens in vdub
never had that enabled before doing realtime TV recording

thx for the replies guys
