Angelpotion to MPG???

[jedor]

How do I convert Angelpotion-coded AVI-files to MPG with TMPGEnc?? I do have the Angelpotion-codec installed on my HD. Do I need some other software???HEEELP!!!

If you already have the SMR codec, then converting will be no diffrent to any other. Have you tried it ?

[jedor]

Nope...
Damn MPGEnc still says: "can't open, or unsupported"...
I even tried the -divx2mp4- that I found on the site you linked me to but that didn't work either

Sometimes it helps to increase the priority of the direct show multimedia file reader. Option > enviromental setting.

[KingJohn]

you can't load it in vdub ?

*Deep sigh*
I'm a bit closer now, but no cigar...
I increased the priority in TMPGEnc, now at least the process starts, HOWEVER...the damn film turns upside-down!
And no, I can't open the file in V-dub. I only get the message: "Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'DIVX' (OpenDIVX)" The damn thing wants a VFW-compatible codec(???)
But I wanna thank u guys anyway for your advice, I won't give up!
Hoping to recieve more tips...

If you click your right hand mouse on the AVI and select properties, this will tell you what codec was used. I doubt if anyone would use an old codec. is it SMR AngelPotion ?. Not something I like myself, and don't have it installed.

Go to your control panel select mutli media > devises > video compression codec's... Is it there ?

Maybe the codec is corrupt, I have not seen much that wont load into Vdub, unless corrupt. Sometimes un-installing AngelPotion will cure the problem !!

I guess there's a higher power that doesn't want me to convert those files...
Nothing works!
The "properties" only say: Angelpotion. And I did try to un-install the Angelpotion-codec, but no change...Neither TMPGEnc nor V-dub will accept these files. BOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!
PS.
I have the following in "properties for video-codec":
APmpg4v1.dll
DivX;-]MPEG-4VideoCodec(Fast motion)
" " " " (Low motion)
iccvid.dll
Indeo video5.10
ir32_32.dll
Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec v3
msh261.drv
msh263.drv
msrle32.dll
msvidc32.dll
VFAPI Reader Codec v1.01

I tried to remove the 1st one, but no luck...

I'm about to hang myself with a PC-cable

Hi those AVI are not SMR they are Microsoft Mpeg 4 files, and the DivX MPEG 4. There should be no problems with those.

The SMR codec does mess the system up, you need to get rid of it and re-install the the others. If the add remove is failing, re-install the Angel Potion, then use the un-installer to remove it.
