I cannot convert these movies to mpeg

[ron_jeremy]

I have a ton of stuff I've downloaded but I can't seem to convert it no matter what I use. I've gotten all the divx codecs and tmpgenc refuses to do anything with them. I checked the properties of the movies I have and under compression they all say H263DRV. I have no idea what that is could it be the problem?

Give more detail like file info

Also explain in detail what you did once you got the file

well i checked and under file type they say "video clip" and the fps are way low. they're all like 12-20 fps. Tmpgenc won't open them and I can't convert them so i'm lost.

H263DRV is the Microsoft/Intel codec used for decomprssion only
Intel - Conferencing codec ??

You viewed it in NetMeeting

Can you play them ??

[ron_jeremy]

yeah they all play in media player no problems. just can't make vcd's out of them

[ron_jeremy]

well i can open them in virtual dub so i'll try that. but that says for divx files........? does anyone else have "video clips" and what the heck are video clips while i'm at it?

Ok you still haven't given the file name and where did you see that this file is video clip?

Video clips, just means that windows association has identified that as that file type, Like it might say document for a text file.

It also sounds like the information your obtaining is perhaps the default, because the system is unable to identify the type, because you don't have the correct codec.

If you can load them into Vdub, select file > File information, that should give you more data, meanwhile go download the nimo codec pack, that fixes most of these problems.

Also in TMPGEnc do this;
2b Select options > environmental settings
2c click the VFAPI plug-in tab
2d right click the "DirectDraw" and select higher priority, do this several times until its at the top with a value of 4

well when i click on details it says the name, size, and as type it has "video clip". if i check under properties under video compression it says, "H263DRV". They're all movies i've downloaded off kazaa I'm not sure if we're allowed to discuss.......
virtual dub may have worked since after using that i can load it in tmpgenc. and it seems to be making it into an mpeg1 now. i hope there's a quicker way though i'm still not sure what the problem is

[ron_jeremy]

also where do i get that nimo thing?

[vcd4me]

I think you are probably doing it ok now seeing as tmpgenc is working

Nimo pack is under tools

[KingJohn]

also where do i get that nimo thing?

[ron_jeremy]

i tried downloading nimo but when i download it it's 0 bytes and none of the links they have work

[KingJohn]

Yep, one of the links does work. looks like the others are down and like you said you get a 0 byte file.

wanadoo works, just tested it.
