Vitual Dub problem, plz help

[OSHkosh]

hi,
i'm trying to open avi files with the virtual dub app, but the same error keeps poping up: A Pentium Pro instruction not supported by the CPU was executed in module 'xvid', what should i do?
thx,bye

What CPU do you have?

I'm surprized DivX didn't give the same message.

What the guy above is getting at is that CPU's like Pentium I, AMD K6-2 came out before Pentium Pro Instruction set.

The Pentuim Pro CPU turned out so physically large that Intel decided on a new package, The Pentium II (Slot-1), keeping most of the internal architecture of the Pentium Pro.

If you have Pentium II or later your shouldn't be having these problems.

hi,
well the DivX works fine, although i occasionaly suffer from sound delay (and from what i've read theres nothung really i can do about it - my virtual dub doesn't work)
AND - I've got P3 500 - so it should work, isn't it?
thx,

You shouldn't be seeing that message with a P3.

Maybe uninstall XviD, and download a new version.

already did that..
and on other computers the app works - on the same files,
and also on every file, before the error msg, it says VBR audio stream something

Well then, VirtualDub is know not to like VBR-Audio (Variable Bit Rate). What you should try is a variation of VDub like NanDub?

Other choices might be:
VDub MP3 Freeze - Made for VBR audio
VirtualDubMod - can be set to tolerate VBR audio

Personally, i would extract the audio and convert to CBR (Constant Bit Rate).
