Unable to convert .avi using TMPGenc!!!

[rbmerc]

Hey everyone, I have been tryin to get my Band of Brothers video collection onto DVD and they are all compressed as .avi right now... When I use TMPGenc to convert them to mpeg, it says that the file cannot open, or unsupported. What does this mean? It is just a regular .avi file!

How did you get them onto AVI, and what have you tried so far?

When my dad transferred them from his computer to mine they were all in .avi format... They play fine on my computer and whatnot... All I have tried so far is converting it to mpeg using TMPGenc... any suggestiosn

I am trying to figure out the codec. How did Dad get them on his computer?

Get Gspot or AVICodec It will tell you what codec you need for the files.

Why do I always suspect DIVX when I read these type of posts? I see andyp1 beat me to it, but rbmerc, see what format they are.

k ill try that gspot and find out what codec it is... more info soon

EDIT: UPDATE -

File : 695 MB (695 MB), duration: 1:13:12, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 56 %
Video : 629 MB, 1202 Kbps, 23.976 fps, 640*352 (16:9), DX50 = DivXNetworks Divx v5, Supported

You need a Divx5 codec.

You so did not get those AVI files from your Dad otherwise he would have just backed-up the DVD discs directly no need to go DivX AVI route.

Stupid.

Leave the Warez at the door next time.
