HELP ME OUT HERE Downloaded AVI File Freezes when converted.

[hawthorn]

I have spent the last three weeks looking on this site and other sites to find help on deleting bad frames in virtualdub but can't find out how to do it anywhere. I've downloaded an avi file, and when you try to convert it to mpeg so it can be burned as Standard Compliat VCD, it gets to a part and then freezes. But when you watch it on the computer, when it gets to that same part, you just skip a bit and then it works again. But because of the bad frame(s), when it is converted it will only get the picture to the bad frame, and the audio will continue to the end of the file. So can somebody be a great help and let me know how to delete bad frames or tell me where I can look, as I've looked on this site, and it doesn't say about deleting frames in virtual dub as far as I can find and none of the other programs it says to use for this type of problem seem to fix it either.

In VirtualDub, under Video, click on Scan Video Stream for Errors. When that is finished, save the file as AVI with a different name. That will be your file without errors and then you can convert that in TMPGE.

Thanks for your help bizeebee.

Also Bugster I did look quite hard, I mustn't have looked in the forums often enough to see the things you pointed out, but when I looked in the links on the side, I only come across things that sayed to try using DIVXFix and some DIVX antifreeze program and neither fixed the problem.

But thanks all for helping fix the issue.
