I'm not sure but I think you may be missing the codec to decompress the video part.

It can't be, as I used to be able to open the AVI's with TMPGEnc and convert them to MPEG. Also, I can play them in Media Player fine while they are AVI's, but as soon as I try to open them in TMPGEnc that's when the video will not show up. It may be a plug-in conflict. I have checked the environment setting and made sure that the priorities are all 0. I don't know what else to try?? Any suggestions????

This is a typical problem with many AVI video streams, but I can offer you a simple solution. Many Avi's are composed of many differrent audio and video codecs and some of those codecs don't even come standard on PC programs or even demo downloads. The reason why you have no video is because there is a video codec missing in order to play the video file. There is a program that you can download on Kazaa called ACEMCP! This program has every codec known to the world of PC audio and video. I assure you that once it is installed it will have the codec for 99% of your AVI video and audio files. The best thing is that you dont even have to edit nor alter the AVI files in any way. There is one downfall to this program though. When you go to burn any MPEG files the divxG400 codec tends to get in the way and it will not allow you to burn VCDs. The solution for this is simple. Just go to the Control Panel and uninstall the program from Add & Remove programs option. This program can be reinstalled at anytime for future use. For a simple reinstall just go to Start Menu, Programs, Ace Mega Codecs Pack, and Reinstall the Ace Mega Codecs Pack!
Let me know how it turns out and good luck!

First of all I wouldnt download all those codecs. second I would make sure I had divx codecs 3.11 ,4,and 5.02 installed on your pc. that has always done the trick for me....I have converted my fair share of movies.....also you might want to try the newest Tmpgenc.

Regardless of whether they would be divx codecs or not I have had Avi files and have also converted Avi files without the Divx format. Even with the Divx codec some Avi files cannot be viewed and some audio files cant be heard or decompressed without certain codecs. It doesn't matter whether If you refer to downloading Divx codecs..it's a proven fact that NOT ALL people use Divx codecs to view or listen to AVI files. THis codecs package is yet overall the ultimate Divx package and it can be downloaded at www.divx-digest.com/software/acemega_codec.html ! So before anyone thinks that I don't know what Im talking about...do the math, check out the site and check your shit. It's all there in this codec package in which it can also be downloaded on Kazaa as well!

YES sasaziel not everyone uses divx codecs there are also some patches you may need from TMD,SMR....and nobody said you didnt know what you were saying ..and as for my stuff my movies come out fine and I have converted thousands of avi's .......its just that these newbies need to start somewhere and for your info this is a forum not a competition .....there are also generic divx ripoffs like angelpotion ...you can use angelpotion instead of divx but it is still not as good as using divx.....

O.K. downloaded the codecs, installed it and now I have The Playa and DivX Player Alpha.
Still...TMPG only converts the audio. How do I tell TMPG that I have the codecs? Do I have to move files to a certain directory?

yeah, without puncuation you could interprate that in a number of ways. I wasn't able to dwnld ACEMCP frm Kazaa, any suggestions? Wait, Isn't or shouldn't there be like a "compression for dummies" software like roxio is for cd burning, where it reads the format of the source data, whether it be avi,mpg,mpeg,dog,cat and
div;:(compression) of both the audio and video. Then just type the format you want,or just maybe as simple as-"data" or "to play in DVD player". pop in disc and 20 min later BAM!!. Or am I going to have to call Bill Gates again? Until then, Yubba, please reiterate on that note. Thanks for bearing w/ us.

I think what he means is that after you run the divx 3.11 program, it opens a window with a few things in it. One of those things is labeled "run me first" or something like that. You must run that one for it to finish the installation. I don't know why the first one just decompresses those files and doesn't automatically run the one. I guess they didn't know how to do that when it was created.

You can download Ace mega codecs pack "also known as the ultimate divx codec" from this website. http://www.freeweb.hu/galgonet/ This is a foriegn website but you will find the download source and mirrors when you scroll to the bottom of the page. Also when trying to encode avi's to mpeg format try not to only use TMPGenc. Xing mpeg encoder is also a good one to use. It also uses less time depending on your processor. The demo version sucks and it cost about $300 to buy but you can d/l it free on kazaa. You can also try a program called avi to vcd to encode as well. Also kazaa has many encoders to d/l if you search software with the word "encoder" or "mpeg encoder"! You can even type up "codecs in the search and you will find many codecs and many codec bundles. You will get alot of cool stuff for free that usually costs a bundle. P2P programs arent anything anyone should be afraid of. There are many things on these p2p sites if you search around. As far as things codec wise Ace mega codecs pack has every divx codec I can even think of plus more. The only ones Id say it doesnt have are the TMD, SMR patch, and Angel potion codecs etc. Don't get me wrong but try to experiment until you get something that works for you. This is how I got through for all my avi's into mpegs and vcd's.

Codecs are a beautiful thing. Downloaded this divX 5.2 updated pro-master w/ THE KICKSTAND.(its that good), from this site under...www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/videos and codecs,(for FUTURE beginners). Didn't even install the divX player just the codec by clckng it. Opened up the file wind med plyr...and it played. Opened up the file in VirtualDub...and yeah, it played. thats it, I'm going to drop out of Rutgers, download/burn dvds, and get advise here all day long...maybe not. Thanks ;-)

An easy solution for this is on tmpgenc click options goto enviromental settings then click on VFAPI plugin and then find Directshow multimedia file reader right click on it and click on higher priority till the number showing is 1 or 2 and then hit ok click browse click the avi you want and hit open walla it should now be ready for you to go to the next step.

this is what I found about converting divx avis to mpeg, correct if this is a wrong info:
The latest versions of the DIVX codec do not function correctly with avi2vcd (or any other purely DirectShow program). The symptom of this bug is that the mpeg created by avi2vcd appears as a series of still frames every few seconds. Divx is aware of problem and expects a fix in the next release of the divx codec. As of this writing, the current version of Divx is 5.02. If the Divx avi is less than 1 or 2 GB in size (depending on your OS version and file system on your hard-drive) avi2vcd will use the VFW API instead of DirectShow, and the file should encode correctly. When the Divx bug is fixed, Avi2vcd will encode divx avi's. For further information on this issue check out the Divx Forums, particularily:
link: http://www.mnsi.net/~jschlic1/
QUESTION: Every time I ripped a DVD and I create avi file using DIVX 5.0 or 4.xx, after 10 minutes of playing the newly created avi file, audio is not synch with video. How can I fix this?

Welcome 2 DVD ripping and converting 101. OK first of all you have to have a great program for dvd to mpeg conversion after ripping a dvd. In a program called dvd copy plus it uses the program called DVDx 2.0 . It is the best DVD2MPEG2VCD program I have ever used. If you use this program you will also learn that TMPGenc will be of some assistance for merging and cutting. As for AVI2VCD My advice is to many of its users is to get rid of it unless it is really needed. I only use AVI2VCD as a last resort to create MPEG files. Unfortunately I've never had a last resort. You'll find it alot better to encode into MPEG by using TMPGenc if your PC has all the right codecs needed for encoding. The fastest encoder out there is the Xing Mpeg encoder but, theres a catch. Even though Xing Mpeg can encode within 1/2 an hr. to an hr. its format is not accepted by many programs to create VCDs with. So sometime its not good to try to get cute with the programs. Its all basics in the working. Experimenting is a plus. As for out of sync dvd rips, DVDx 2.0 will keep everything in sync and the quality is great. I just wouldn't recommend DVDx for foriegn DVD ripped files. I have'nt figured out the glitch in the program that causes the sound to skip but, I'll update it as soon as I can. Good luck everyone. And for all of your codec needs dont forget to check out http://www.divx-digest.com/ as well as for studying your AVI or DV projects as well.
