skins38 , TMPGenc is the shizzle and as far as accepting your avi's you need to have divx codecs installed in order for TMPGenc to convert your files.....try downloading divx codecs 3.11,4.0,and 5.02.............
I've alawyas had those codecs installed, but for some reson it would not accept most of my AVI files.
Here's what I did and it worked like a charm.
If you have an AVI file that won't open in TMPGenc Download VirtualDub, select direct processing and save a new copy of the AVI file. This should only take about 10 seconds per 100mb. Then save the new file over the old one and Voila! It works....
p.s. If you have a wmv file that won't open, rename it to asf, and it'll work.
one more thing skins38 some of hose avi's may be done by (tmd,smr) right they have there own codecs and patches .......and just to let you know I have downloaded alot of avi's and I have yet to find one that doesnt work with tmpgenc (also because I have the codecs and patches for those type of avi's)
Hey, you can actually decode or convert any file with TMPGEnc. This is the fastest and the best software out there so i would advice using it. All you have to is go to OPTION>ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGS>VFAPI Plug-in.
Then change the priority of DirectShow to 2 (yes 2, not 1, not 3). Make sure the rest is 0 , except AVI Compatibility Reader, that should be -2.
Then just the files you want. Settings like shadow correction can be found under SETTINGS in the bottom right corner. This si also where you select what type of file you want (VCD!!!).
