Using what seemed to be a film successfully ripped by Shrink I used TMPGEnc to make a DIVX of a film but I got an error from VLC that the file was broken. I tried to repair it using DIVFIX++ with no luck. I reripped the DVD and did another encode with the same problem. It's not as if it doesn't play on VLC or WMP. I just want to make sure it will play on a AVI capable DVD player.

What could the problem be? Was it a bad rip? A bad encode? What's the best utility to repair such files... and do they delete frames or fully restore a video?

I'm trying one more rip using DVD Decrypter. It showed no errors but the encode will take some time.

In the mean time... any ideas?

Thanks!

It's difficult to tell if the problem is in the source or not.
Here's an exercise to try and narrow it down. Trim off a short
5-minute clip from one of your good avi files.

Use AVStoDVD to create the video-ts folder from that source.

Then use that as the input for your testing. That way you're starting
with a known good video_ts folder.

I thought I updated this thread. The problem was with my old version of VLC. The new version played the file just fine.
