I have spent the past two days scouring the forums to make sure I don't double post, but cannot find anything exactly pertaining to my problem. I am a newbie, so I will appropriately post here! I have several avi files that when using either TMPGenc or Cucusoft, will not display any video, the screen is black. I am shying away from batch encoding, using either one of these, due to waste of time, and finding the files useless after waiting all that time.
hi fm535 Can you play these files on your windows media player or whatever you use? If not, then you dont have the right codecs,search google for codecs.Or they may have a codec pack on A.D.,ive never looked. good luck jim
They are playing fine thru media player classic, WIndows MP and DIVX player. I have found the only wierd thing about two of the 3 avi files so far, is that they are reporting 16:9 as their aspect ratio, and I don't know if that is a factor. Other than that, I can't find any oddities in their avicode reports.
I have more to add, if anyone can figure this into the resolution ideas - I took the same file and using either of the same encoders (TMPGenc or Cucusoft), try to encode it on a different system, (a much slower system - 28 hours to convert!) and voila, I have video in the conversion process. Is there something that I should know about the codecs or somekind of configuration? They seem to play back perfectly on the fast system, but the encoding process and post-playback is totally void of video. I believe it is a codec configuration, and I have ffdshow loaded, but can I get that to take over as default for everything?
I guess I was impatient and a good web user...I fixed the problem on my own. I noticed all the movies were DivX5 when checked with AVICodec. I removed the codec and reinstalled the new DivX-5.2 and it appears to be working fine now! I will update this if I learn anything more!
