DIVX to DVD - the invisible files and the code

[happy69]

Hello
I, an incompetent, am trying to create a standard 4GB DVD from a DIVX scource. The material works in VLC. I have studiously read the very clear manual and have setup the parametres accordingly. But get the magic 30sec file creation that is invisible at its destination. I offer the following code. (My installation of the various components was accepted only after I had created a password in my user settings, which was not the case before installation.)
Can anybody look at this and tell what I did wrong?

The installation of mpeg2enc failed, so you need to reinstall again.

I redownloaded the files that appear as code in explorer. I copied the code to a txt file and reinstalled both the code and ffmeg. THe installer was happy, but when I try to covert a DIVX to DVD, I get the lignting fast, invisible file result.

Also, when using material that is not TV ratio do I choose a ratio that corresponds in your list and expect to have the bars appear or do reconvert back to 4:3 to then have the TV shrink the image (DVD on TV naturally)

Lastly, I don't know how you do this code stuff but I find it admirable. Thank you

[Case]

I redownloaded the files that appear as code in explorer.

That's likely because the file has no suffix. If you option-click the link, it will download to a file. Maybe that will help.

Thank you. It did the trick (eventually)

Now for more problems. I launched a divx to DVD conversion and it was going very well until the last minute when it failed. The result is that I have 3 files that are the result of the marathon 8 hour encoding.
2 of them are standard .mpg files that In QT easily. The first is 1.9GB and has 90% of the audio, the 2nd is the last 10%. Both have encoded audio and work fine. The 3rd is a m2v file of the complete program but is mute which reluctantly opens in QT.
The hope was to have a muxed DVD all ready to burn, so what went wrong and do I have to start again?

Take the .m2v and the .mp2 files and run them into the "Mux as.." tool.

Make sure you're using .m2v and .mp2 as input, NOT .mpg

The hope was to have a muxed DVD all ready to burn, so what went wrong and do I have to start again?

I had a similar problem converting a 3ivx-encoded .AVI to DVD. Along with the problems you've seen, I had a problem with the .MP3-encoded audio-- the .MP2 ripped by ffmpegX was silent. VLC played the original .AVI with sound, but QT Player wouldn't play the sound even after I installed the free 3ivx QT Plug-ins. After running DIVX Doctor, QT Player could play the audio, and the .mp2 from ffmpegX contained sound.

I also had the problem of ffmpegX creating a muxed 1.9GB .mpg, but producing an error before encoding the rest of the file. Since it was also my goal to produce a DVD, I simply used Sizzle 0.1 with the .m2v & mp2 to create a disk image, then burned the image using Toast 5. Would be nice to know why ffmpegX choked, but after several long encoding sessions I just wanted to finish the project.
