[Aeneran]

hello, i have been trying 2 open freaky friday in tmpgenc but i get a error messgae saying that it is unsupported or something it is a avi file. also i have a file thats fps is 29.97 what is it encoded2? pal or something else. btw i am new 2 this sort of thing so i might not have explained myself properly.

Try the TMPGEnc problems page here.

I would suggest you read the What is VCD, SVCD and DVD sections at the top left also. This should show you the limitations/features of each "format" so to speak, as well as show you the difference between PAL and NTSC.

k, i have managed 2 sort that file out. Now i have another file that when i try and open says it needs a video for windows compatible codec to compress video. DirectShow codecs such as those used by windows media player are not suitable. But i have all the codecs i need installed this is the first time it has said this.

But i have all the codecs i need

Obviously not! Run the AVI thru GSpot to see what codecs in use...

i have installed all the codecs because i have made other vcds and that is the only time it has said that. i have ran gspot and it says i dont have the codecs installed but i have!

Being able to play it does not prove you have the right codec for some applications to open it. Believe what Gspot is telling you!

You didn't install any codec pack lately, did you?

So cut the screenshot down to size so that it is under 50KB.
