Invalid Floating Point

[cablecruncher]

Hello there,

Here's my issue and tools at hand.

1. I use TempGenc 12a
2. I have an avi file.
3. This AVI is the first to give TempGenc an error.
4. The error shown after it gets 4 minutes into the movie
is as follows: invalid floating point.
5. How do I correct this problem?

Steps taking to resolve issue:
1. Used the new Tibro templates for VCD MPeg1 creations.
* Same result
2. Tried to use BBMpeg - canceled the process -
* Said it would take 20 hours to convert.
3. Tried to use AVItoVCD.
* error - compressed audio not recognized.

Notes: The file is part 1 of 2. I have both parts that came from the same author. Part 2 converted flawlessly.

My Machine:
AOpen 450 mhz (Pentium 3)
192 megs of RAM
40 Gig hard drive

Thanks for your time.

part 1 may have bad frames
try divfix to correct them
if not , just use the select range
to skip those bad frames

Try to frameserv in from virtual dub to tmpgenc. Worked on all my problem movies.

Yes it definately sounds like your avi has some bad frames...you need to use a utility to delete those frames i cant remember the name of it now.. but it should not be hard to find...

Hello all,

Thanks for the replies. I haven't gotten to trying them out, but I do have a success story. I later read and found out that Nero 5.5 converted AVI to VCD. I figured since I use Tempgenc over night anyway, why not let Nero have it's time too.
I got up the next day, and my burned CD was sitting out waiting for me in the drive. I swapped the CD into the master CD ROM drive, and fired up WMP to watch the VCD of the problem AVI. To my surprise, it worked, flawlessly. I didn't see one bad cluster of blocks at all.
Now, that leads me to another question. What is Nero 5.5 doing in the background when it is encoding an AVI to burn? In other words, is it writing a MPEG file to the hard-drive then converted to .dat on the VCD, or is it taken the AVI straight to .dat? Why do I ask. Well, I save all of my MPEGs as well. I miss out on them when I have to let Nero do the conversion.

Thanks again for the replies. I'm still going to use the methods mentioned just so I can broaden my horizons on this problem area.

dohhh... TMPG has new versions all the time. Get one of them.

TMPG isn't fast, but it is THE best encoder for vcd and SVCD quality... You went from the best (TMPG) to the worst (NERO). Captured stillframes might be the same, but that's because of flaws in your DE coder. On a TV, there's a difference...
