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: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/avicodec.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/gspot.cfm 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...
