I download a few .AVI files from KAzaa and tried to convert them into MPEG1/2 format using TMPEGEN / Panasonic MPEG1 Encoder but it comes out with an error.

ERROR: VFW Could not retrieve a video frame to determine details
ERROR: Could not open source file to validate parameters.

Could not open file with Video-For-Windows API!

Could not open file with either DirectShow or VFW API!!
Input video could not be opened or does not have acceptable parameters

Anyone has any views on this.. Can you please help asap.

Regards
