kavi2svcd error

[pn0i]

hey, i'm trying to encode this avi file to svcd. here's the error i get in the log window:

|E| transcode v0.6.11 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003 T. Bitterberg

|E| avi open error: avilib - Error reading from AVI file
|E| REASON: Is a directory
|E| video import module error: OPEN failed

why isn't it able to open the avi file?

Never used Kavi2svcd, but it seems like transcode is just fed with a directory name instead of a AVI file name.

avi open error: avilib - Error reading from AVI file
|E| REASON: Is a directory

Does Kavi2svcd present the command line used for summoning up Transcode somewhere?

I've had problems of late with the transcode part of kavi2svcd. I tried the encoding of avidemux. Its work more often and is much much faster.

Yes, AviDemux 2 rocks - It's very much like VirtualDub, but can reencode directly to VCD/SVCD/DVD with nice filters (resize, subtitler etc).
