converting MPG back to MPG...error in VirtualDubMod???

[yhe2x]

not sure if this is the right forum for this....

I have an MPG file that I'd like to convert to AVI (DIVX5.0 as the codec), I used VirtualDubMod......I don't really need the audio, so I disabled it (Stream->Stream List)....for the Video, it works on Full Processing Mode but on Direct Stream Copy it doesn't.....it's giving an error message about "Algorithm doesn't match" or something like that.....I didn't want it on Full Processing Mode cuz it takes forever to finish.

Is there any way to solve this or does anybody knows a software/converter that's lil bit faster than VirtualDubMod that converts MPG to AVI using DIVX5.0 codec......and i don't think it's my PC either that's making it slower, I have a Pentium 4, 3.2 Ghz.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are going to convert to avi you can't use direct stream copy. What divx settings are you using?

thanks for the quick reply......I'm actually at work right now but I'm leaving in 1 hour, I'll post the settings......but what I did was, I just used the Default Settings........why can't I save it as AVI on Direct Stream Copy??, is it because I'm re-compressing it???....does that make sense??
