Hey people.
I've just tried to convert an .avi file to be able to burn it to a dvd-r. I exactly followed the guide on the site here with TMPGenc, and all I get is a really slow, choppy green picture. The avi file plays perfectly..... I'm at a loss as to what to do.
can anyone help?

Hiya,

It can happen with DivX etc types of AVI's.

Use the following to help identify the contents of the AVI:

Have Fun...

hey dr.chips, thanks for the info.

I've already used GSpot and avicodec to see if I have supported codecs installed. which they both say I do.
Apparently I have 2 supported video codecs (both of which are the divx 5.1.1.1031 decoder filter)
so unless there is some other codec I should be using...??
Is there a way to make TMPGEnc use a particular codec? or does it just use the most readily available compatible one?
also, when trying to convert this AVI, every now and then I get an error from TMPGEnc saying 'index of scan line is out of range(352)' ..... any ideas??

thanks for responding to my previous question.

Cheers

Hmmm,... I think I've sorted out the problem with the green screen. I raised the priority of the directshow multimedia file reader so it was at the top of the list, and it seems to have done the trick.
Now I just have to wait 16 hours for tmpgenc to do it's thing.

Thanks for listening to me babble on!

Aha!

I was right about it being DivX (lucky guess, or what).

Raising the DirectShow priority would have been my next step, but you beat me to it - good on ya.

TMPGEnc will be slow, because QUALITY COSTS.

Sometimes I put in another step between AVI and TMPGEnc.

Using VirtualDub;
extract WAV file, then
Save as AVI (WARNING: 1 GIG per MINUTE of video)

Then use those two files as input to TMPGEnc, you get better quality results that way with SOME files.

Glad you got a result.

Have Fun...
