No video when converting to Divx 5.1 from DV

[BrianK]

I am trying to use Virtualdub to convert a DV video file to Divx. I use Fast Recompress on the video and choose Divx as the compression. I use full processing mode for audio and convert it ti 44.1khz MP3.

When I hit save as .avi, it acts like it is working, but when the file is small and when I play it, it is a black screen with just the audio.

What am I doing wrong?

I presume the DV file plays okay on your PC (in WMP etc..)?

Do you have a DV codec installed?

Does gSpot say anything about the codecs in use on the file?
