Newbie Question? AVI --> MPEG

[dat323]

I downloaded some movies and wanna convert to VCD. and I downloaded TMPGEnc but I couldnt open the avi file ( it said invalid input type of file)?

Theres 3 files for 1 movie , should I join it together first? which program should I use? I used Virtualdub to join to files but it also said ita invalid input type and it asked me to download a valid codec to open the AVI ( Vedio clip format ) .

thanks for the help

Dude:
The reason TMPEnc would not open is that you don't have all the correct Codecs to open what you have.
Look to the left under "Tools", then download the "Nimo Codec Pack", this will give you all the major Codecs that are out there. I bet it will work then

Thank you very much, but I still have one question. After I downloaded the Nimo codec pack 5.0 , what should I do? I tried to click on it and install it, it said " invalid win32 application" , is it the reason why Im using Windows XP?

The NIMO links seem to be having problems. Other people have been having this problem. Try all of the mirrors.. VCDhelp should host this file locally.

none of the mirror sites for the nimo codec work does anyone have it that also has icq that may possibly be able to send it to me. i cant even get some of my avi files to play period, because i cant get the right codecs
