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.

Yikes (Mick! Mick!) this is a challenge :-)
Lemme see now, FFDShow likes it but VDub does not...
That's a weird one. My only thought is that your AVI was previously trimmed at the start: VDub will not be happy until it finds a keyframe. Seems it is not finding one.
Transcoding an AVI to MPEG1 VCD (or MPEG2 SVCD) is not a trivial job, and the results are often underwhelming anyway.

Try this program on your AVI.
I suspect your eventual solution might involve Mick-worship ;-)
So, we'll see if he responds to your post

Oh, sorry, I should have also mentioned that I've used divfix as well...and it has not a single error when it scans it. Thanks for your idea anyway, I'm glad people are tryin to help me :)

ahhhhh jeez what have u got me into ogs =P.
although i dont have a direct solution i'll do the best i can.
firstly what mpeg-4 compression is your avi(divx/xvid)??
with divfix have you just scanned for errors? although it doesnt find any rebuilding the index may help.
if that doesnt work your last option is to frameserve your AVI to TMPGEnc with vdub.
if you dont know how to frameserve with vdub heres a link for ya:

i used to hate going to weddings, all the old dears would poke me and say "your next", they stopped saying it after i did it to them at funerals -Chopper Reid-
