Need help converting AVI: Won't work with anything so far.

I'm trying to convert my Blade 2 avi into vcd format but TMPENG (spelling) and Xing won't open the file for conversion. I can play the movie just fine on Windows Media Player Though. I have 2 files for Blade 2. Each is about 150 mb. Another program i used said the audio stream wasn't supported. (i forgot the name of the program because i deleted it in frustration). What do you guys think I need to do because none of the programs I've tried can support converting the file yet?

sounds like a DivX file with avi extention. You need to look to the left and look up how to convert DivX to vcd.

youve got to rip the sound first, look trough the howtos to find out how to do that

Ah, I think I seen that, was it Vdub that complained ?. I think I just saved out another copy using streaming. The audio was not changed, Vdub said "0" seconds out of sync

You do need the codec installed to use those programs though, I guess you have those.

So try again with Vdub, You don't need to save out the Audio. Load it in to Vdub 1.49, do a "Scan Video stream for error's" set audio and video to streaming and "save as" save out blade1-fix.avi and use that with TMPGEnc
