Hello,
When i've converted a XviD movie to MPEG-1 with subtitle, there's no video, only sound :/ And yes, i got the directshow media reader thing on the top.
Anyone that knows the cause?

What player are you using to view the video? Try VLC, and see what happens. Also check to see if there is more than one video track. Some conversion tools create a null track that some players default to. Simply choose the other track, and you'll often see that the video is there.
Also check the output file size. If it is too small to contain video, then you know that the conversion somehow failed to produce video at all. That points to the conversion tool as the source of difficulty. Since you didn't provide any details of what you did, it's impossible to provide other than general advice. -
I use VLC, checked for other tracks etc.
The output file size is fine, around 700mb.
I used the normal encoding options except i changed the "Motion Search Precision" to High. -
Worked in Media Player classic when i tried now o_O Don't know why it won't work in VLC :/

Very odd. Yours is the first report that I can recall of VLC being unable to play a plain old MPEG1 stream. What version of VLC are you using? And by any chance did you allow quarter-pixel (qpel) motion compensation? If so, that alone can cause much grief.
Another longshot possibility is a problem with overlay buffers. If a video window of the right size and shape is coming up, but is simply black, try disabling overlays in your VLC preferences and see what happens.
And if you get around to it, use Gspot or some similar tool and see what it has to say about your MPEG1 stream. Perhaps it will reveal what the oddity in your MPEG stream is. For that matter, see what VLC thinks about the video stream.
Sometimes the fix is as simple as demuxing and remuxing (using, e.g. the tools in TMPGEnc). -
