Reparing or fixing AVI files

[1234567]

After getting AVI files we can face a lot of problems with AVi or DIVX files, when ypu try to play them Suddenly the image froze but the sound kept playing. Or disoriented or equally coloured blocks of pixels distorted the image for a time. Or if you make a DVD from AVI, there is no sound. Any good software can repair these issues? Thanks

Unpack the bitstream with Mpeg4Modifier. If that does not work, see:

No big long debates this time, please.

Thanks. Most common problem consists on missing sound, if you make DVD based on Avi or DIVX files.

Yes, lots. But since you won't tell us the properties of your source nobody can help you.

The properties ? AVI

[jagabo]

The properties ? AVI

The video and audio properties. AVI is a container. Saying you have an AVI file is like saying you have something in a box. Telling us you have a box doesn't help much. It's what's in the box that's important. Saying your having trouble with AVI files is like saying "I have a vehicle. I'm trying to get from London to Paris. My vehicle doesn't work. How can I fix it?"

You really should have figured this out by now but here's a hint: Gspot or MediaInfo.

That appears to be an MPEG file, not an AVI file. What does GSpot say about the container?

How are you trying to play this file? On your computer? On a set-top Divx/DVD player? What model DVD player? Via USB? From a DVD? If you're trying to convert to movie DVD what software are you using? You mentioned DVD Santa in another thread -- have you tried that? Super?

No. I made a DVD but when I play that on DVD player, there is no sound.

p.s. Fot the data, I used mediainfo

[jagabo]

I wish you would be clear about what your are doing. Is that info from the file before you made a DVD? Or from a VOB file after making a DVD? Any DVD player can play stereo AC3 audio. Have you verified the AC3 track really contains audio? Maybe your conversion program created a silent audio track.

You should post MediaInfo about the source file, and the DVD, and list the software and steps you used to convert. Or just go buy ConvertxToDVD which almost always works.

I madhe the DVD based on this AVI file, using DVD Santa or other DVd creator. The same result, no sound on DVD player( does not matter when ypu play the DVD on DVD player or on PC)

[jagabo]

Post the MediaInfo of your source AVI file. Obviously, the software you used to convert to DVD did not handle the audio correctly.

You are right. Is mpeg-ps format

[jagabo]

So the audio from that file (bofore any conversion) plays on your computer?

[1234567]

So the audio from that file (bofore any conversion) plays on your computer?

Yeah. Before making DVD, so mpeg file, has audio.

[jagabo]

Yeah. Before making DVD, so mpeg file, has audio.

Using what media player? Use that same player to play the VOB file on the DVD. Do you hear the audio?

[hech54]

Once again.....a complete waste of time. The file is not broken....it's PAL format.
This guy/girl is either a habitual liar or a deliberate time-waster.

After getting AVI files we can face a lot of problems with AVi or DIVX files

Probably you are the liar, a big liar, and inmature person. The properties of the movie indicates the suffix AVI( movie.avi). I discovered that is mpeg, using mediainfo. Grow up man and shake your brain!!!

Yeah the same player. But when I play the DVD0based on this mpeg file), there is not sound at all

[jagabo]

If you're not going to answer direct questions I can not help you.

[poisondeathray]

When you say the "same player" do you mean a standalone DVD player or a software media player? Was this a burned physical DVD or folder structure on the PC? Please be specifc and provide details.

Did you author a "dvd based on this mpeg file"? if so what program(s) did you use to do it ? Be specific.

Can you play the authored DVD folder in on a PC media player (e.g. VLC, WMP, MPC)? Is there audio?

Can you play the burned DVD disc on your pc with a software media player? Is there audio?

If you burned a disc, what software did you burn with? What kind of discs?

The less information you provide, the more likely you won't get any help or answers.

[guns1inger]

Do you ever think for yourself ?

If you read the mediainfo details you posted, you would see you have a video that runs 3 hours and 32 minutes, which has an audio track that runs 1 minute 31 seconds.

And yet again you are evasive as the origins of the files, the true content and source, the process you use to butcher them, and any attempt to illicit anything helpful is met with further evasiveness, deliberate mis-information, or abuse.

If it looks like a troll, smells like and troll and acts like a troll, it probably is a troll.

The title of this thread was "Repairing or fixing AVI files." The first sentence of the opening post includes the phrase: "we can face a lot of problems with AVi or DIVX files." But after all was said and done, it was an MPEG file. There were those of us who stopped what we're doing so that we could help, only to have our time wasted with misinformation. It could be overlooked if it were an isolated error, but this is not the first time this person has done this to us. It is a consistent problem, when looking back at similar posts by 1234567.

Well, that's it for me. Persona non grata.

[gll99]

Since it's now obvious that this is not an avi, it's possibly an orphaned vob. Although it doesn't say it a mpeg-ps format I'd try it anyway.

Rename the original extension to vob. Dowlnoad Vobedit. Open the vob file and click "demux" and choose the option to demux multiple streams at once, select allvideo, allaudio and allsub. If you can demux the elementary audio, video and possible sub streams successfully we can move on from there. It's worth a shot.

@guns1inger
If you reread the thread, you may want to revise what you said about the video and audio duration

[guns1inger]

Sorry - was reading from Jagabo's example output. However everything else I have said still stands. There is a very established pattern of behavior form this poster that is obvious when reading through their previous threads.
