problem with Mainconcept MPEG encoder

[marlo]

Hi, I've always used MPEG encoder but since yesterday when I try to open a video file to begin the conversion, then a message appears "no video data found": Wierd because the file is a video one and works perfectly in my pc. Any help?
Thanks/Fabio

Use AVICodec or Gspot to have a look at the video's properties.You might find the culprit.

MainConcept MPEG Encoder works fine for me.

What format is the video file?

Does MC support it?

[marlo]

In fact Gspot says that there is no suitable codec installed Which packet do you suggest?

[marlo]

avicodec says V. nome codec XViD Mpeg4 and A1 nome codec Mpeg layer 3

Look to the left <- see the Tools section. In this there is a codec and and audio codecs area. From these, download just the Xvid video codec, and just the LAM MP3 audio codec. Install these, and see how you go. DO NOT install a codec pack.

with ffdshow it works perefctly

[marlo]

sorry if I disturb you again.
I will uninstall ffdshow if you suggest that it is better but following avicodec what is the video codec to install? V.nome codec XVid Mpeg4 or Mpeg layer 3? and where can I find the codec?
thanks
