    I followed the entire process how to copy a 16:9 DVD to DIVX,to 2 CDs, and when I am using
    Virtual Dub , there is the section that has you enter 2 jobs for first pass
    and second pass.
    Then, you go to File-Job Control and Start.

    Here is my problem:
    When I click on Start, I immediately(no time passes) get the word ERROR next
    to each of the filenames in the box, and NOTHING happens.

    The software should at least give me a clue what is wrong.
    I have followed the instructions explicitly several times and I end up in this spot,
    and I checked each step of the way to ensure the files were being created
    by each step.

    Is there any fix for this of clue someone could please shed on this?

    I appreciate any help at all, and I can find good ways to reward people who
    help me!

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Video resolution has to be multiplies of 16, otherwise it will fail.
