    hiya lads..each time it try putting a d/loaded divx avi movie into TMPGEnc 3.0 xpress i get this error message
    could not open the video part of the file only the audio part can be opened.... i am able to watch the movie in my media player,do i need to put the files through a codec first and if so what is recommended.

    TMPGEnc encodes to MPEG1/2, that has nothing to do with input though. It can handle various formats other than MPEG1/2.

    DivX is MPEG4, well at least DivX is an implimentation of an ISO MPEG4 ASP video codec.

    You can use GSpot or similar to see what video stream the avi contains.
