divx bad frames (guides wont work)

hi all these forums are great.hope you can help i have a bad frame prob and have searched and searched through the guides out there and none of them work. divx fix crashes and so does virtualdub when i try and follow one of the guides. i think the divx file is causing this. what i have learned from virtual dub before it crashed is the divx file has "1 bad frame and 31 frames that are good but undecodable" i would love to post a screen shot of the file info but i am unsure what sort of picture file is postable. thanks in advance for any help you good folks can give

 

Ge virtualdub-mp3.
Open the video.
Select Video, check for errors.
This will put a virtualdub.txt file in your C:\ root folder.
Open it up in notepad.
See where the first bad frame is, and in virtualdub-mp3, advance to the frame JUST BEFORE the bad one.
Select the mark in button.
Now go to the next frame AFTER the LAST bad frame, and select the mark out button.
Hit the DELETE key on your keyboard.
You can now resave the avi with no errors.

 

thanks for the suggestion but that was one of the ways i have tried. virtualdub mp3 gets about half way through and crashes. divx repair does the same.

 

Toss the file, and download it again. It's beyond repair.

 

i have tried that whoever encoded the file must have caused the problem i was hoping there was another way
