XVideo .avi to SVCD or whatever..

[KevN2002]

Is this possible? I just downloaded a Xvideo .avi, it wont play on Media Player, how can I burn or encode this for a CD?

you need an xvid codec,then you can frameserve it to tmpg to make your vcd/svcd.

Can you elaborate for me? I dont see Xvid codec or any info on this anywhere, except on how to convert TO Xvid...

For all AVI's install the Nimo Codec pack, and DivX 5.02

look in the tools section for nimo. then read this: http://www.vcdhelp.com/convert.htm#frameserve

I got Nimo, but for some reason now, when converting to VCD, I have no audio in the .mpg. VirtualDub wont let me convert the audio in the .avi.. Does it not recognize the audio codec?

as i said in my first post you WILL have to frameserve it.

TMPGEnc
Select options > environmental settings
click the VFAPI plug-in tab
right click the "DirectShow" and select higher priority, do this several times until its at the top with a value of 4

Vdub AC3, might also help

KingJohn thanks that Directshow priority worked... Weird, I still cant rip the audio with VDub but TMPGEnc seems to handle it OK.

[KingJohn]

Its not necessary to rip the audio, you would only do this if you were having problems with it.

However, there are some AVI's out there recently using the xvid codec, what they are using for Audio.. God knows
