Hi, I have a very annoying problem now...and I'm trying to solve it as best I can. I've scoured the internet for resources, but found that my problem is a little more complicated.
When I open my video in virtual dub, or virtual dub mod (it is an avi file, an anime..that I could only find subbed by the same 2 groups, and have the same error with) I get an error that states " Error decompressing video frame 0: An unkown error occurred (May be corrupt data)..."
Now I was told this could be because of "bad frames", so I opened up vdub-mp3, did a video freeze check, and when I checked the bad frame log, EVERY SINGLE FRAME WAS A BAD ONE! How could this be, when my video plays fine in even windows media player 9 (I know I know, I dont use it usually but its just to show that this damn thing plays great)
So I tried to encode anyway with Tmpg and test my luck, but it doesnt go a single frame before saying " Index of scan line is out of range(360) "
I'm pretty confused as how to handle these damn errors, because I know that these videos are popular and have many torrents and downloads etc and on top of that they both play fine, and I find it very unusual that two separate groups would encode their subs the exact same way to cause the exact same errors I'm getting.
I also know some pros might suggest getting certain codec packs...ffdshow directshow etc...I have them all, so no real point in that. In fact, I've opened both videos in G Spot, and it says I have at least 3 available codecs for the video, and 3 for the audio, It even had this to say after I rendered it. (Maybe this will help advanced users that feel like solvin my problem) " Direct Show claims to be able to play the file. The following combination of filters were used:
C:/blahblah [Source]
Avi Splitter [Splitter]
ffdshow Mpeg-4 Video Decoder [Video Decoder]
Video Renderer [Video Renderer]
Mpeg Layer-3 Decoder [Audio Decoder]
Default DirectSound Device [Audio Renderer] "
Basically, although the file(s) play correctly in virtually any media player, with what seems (at least to me) no problems or corruptions at all, what I want to do is encode it, and Tmpg is one of the few trial encoders that wont stamp a bigass logo on a piece of crap mpeg, and actually has nice free quality...so hopefully people can try to work with this problem and not suggest other encoders...:)
Hopefully someone out there can help me...and I'll worship them forever.
