anyone come across this?

I have this posted at the bottom of my first post, but I want to make sure people see this -

An AVI file with Streaming audio, i.e. WMV2 or MP4S -

how do you encode a file like that? is this a new format and if so, is there a new codec out there? Nothing seems to work!

[Sefy]

Have you tried VirtualDub v1.3c or TMPGEnc 12a ? they tend to open everything that even the newer versions are incapable of doing.

[boston1]

yes, I have. virtual dub says can't locate the decompressor wmv2 or mp4s"(depending on the file) and tmpgenc crashes just like all the others.

[Sefy]

Did you try old version or new version, as i've mentioned, the OLD version tend to open fles the new ones don't, also, does the file play correctly in WMP ?

[boston1]

I was using virtualdub 1.3c and tmpgenc 12a

[boston1]

The file does play correctly in WMP. I downloaded the tsunami codec, as someone reccomended, and that didn't work either. I'm on my last wits with this. There must be a new codec out there that is not being shared, as I see alot of people who have downloaded movies in the last month all seem to have this problem - IF one of you has broken the code, please share!

[Sefy]

could you send me over that file or is it too big ? I want to check this out myself.

I'm having the same problem as well. Completely frustrating. Sefy, if you'd like me to send the file, I could, but it's about 183 MB....

[Cosmocat]

Or, I could probably cut a sample...just thought of that...

[boston1]

I see if I can catch you on ICQ and I 'll transfer you the file, in the meantime, maybe I can e-mail you just a few minutes of one of them.

[boston1]

well, can't spit a sample off! no tool can work with it - have to wait until you're on ICQ

hey guys, it's 1 am here, so i'm off to sleep, I should be up again in about 9 hours, even if you don't see me online, send me a message, and if i'm there, i'll reply within 5 min, and then you can send that file to me, and i'll see what is going on with it.
