I"m following the article
"How to convert to DivX or AVI with Virtualdub"

I"m trying to convert my MPG1 file to DIVIX to save space with minimal qquality lost (or at least what I thought converting to divix will do)

I did everything it said. I set everthing right. I can see the preview with no problem. but when it's time to convert it would halt on the first frame but the program say it's processing.

I tried it on two different machine and same thing.
I got.
divix 3.11 a codec
virtual dub 1.4.7
win98

anyone came across a similiar problem?
