VirtualDub/TMPGEnc problems

[winggundam01]

When I first try to use Virtualdub to trun an AVI to DIVX I can't compress the audio with MP3 I can't because it is 44,100 Hz and so I just use TMPGEnc and when I get to about 57 percent it gives me an error and says "Illegal floating decimal point calculation order." What do I do to remidy this situation, I want to turn this AVI into a VCD.

"I can't compress the audio with MP3 I can't because it is 44,100 Hz"

If you've got either the original Fraunhoefer codec or the version modified by Radium installed, VirtualDub should be making available to you (after selecting "Audio" dropdown, then selecting "Full Processing Mode", then selecting "Compression") several different MP3 44,100 options. If when you click on "MP3", the right side window is blank, simply check "Show all formats".

Let us know of your success ;>}

Ok, I fixed the audio problem and started to turn the AVI into a DIVX and when I get about 60% threw the process I get an error message. the message is "VideoSourceAVI (ICDecompress) error: unspecified error (-100)" What does this mean and how do I fix it?

[setarip]

Try selecting a lower MP3 44,100 sampling rate (e.g. 96Kbps instead of 128 or higher).

Let us know of your success ;>}

[winggundam01]

I tried to lower the bit rate and it gave me the same error message. Is it a problme with the File, virtual Dub or is it just a problem with the settings? I used the program to encode a other AVI but that one was only 50 mb while this one was 120 and they were the sam length.

[winggundam01]

I also tried just usind TMPGEnc because I thought that the file might already be a DIVX file so i started to concert it to MPEG and when I get abou 57 percent threw it gives me an error message saying "Illegal Floating decimal point calculation order"
I really want to get rid of this problem :missile:

[winggundam01]

I looked at the file and where it screws up the video freezes and the audio continues That is what happens with windows media player. should I try to get another version or is there a way to repair this?

[setarip]

You might try downloading and using a program named DVD-Antifreeze (there are a couple of other similar ones) from the DivX Digest sister-site to this forum.

If that doesn't work, you could try using VirtualDub to locate and remove the bad frame(s) and resave your file with a new name. If you choose to do this, MAKE CERTAIN that, from the "Video" dropdown window, you change the setting to "Direct Stream Copying".

We're still looking forward to your success ;>}

[winggundam01]

where whould I find the DVD antifreeze? you said it is on the sister site but where?

[setarip]

DivX Digest...

[doctorwu]

Hello all. In reference to that decimal point error. I've had the same problem and I think I've got your answer. Download this: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/divfix.html

It's called DivFix, and once you doctor the file in question with it, the error message should disappear. Hope it works!!!! *crosses fingers*

[winggundam01]

HAY THANKS! I used the AVI- antifreeze and it fixed the problem but after using it about four time it is starting to lock up or causing an error and can't fix the files any more. Now the program is screwing up. what is causeing the problems with the programs?

[doctorwu]

You're using AntiFreeze or DivFix?
What's the error message?

Also, if you really can't get it to work, you can try VirtualDub to fix your files: it's a bit more involved but it also works ;)

[winggundam01]

I'm using anti freeze. I am trying to get Trigun (an anime serise) into MPEG and first I have to turn the AVIs into DIVX and the fifth episode had a problem in the first 250 frams. I try to fix it with the anti freeze and when I atemt to do it it crashes and takes the whole computer with it. What can I do to fix this. Is there a more stable program that will fix the episode in the same way?

[winggundam01]

and you said that I could use virtual Dub to fix it. how do I do that is there a tutorial that I can follow that will allow me to fix it without using anti freeze?

[doctorwu]

I thought .avi files were a divx form ... you shouldn't have to convert them -- you should be able to slap it into TMPGEnc as is (or so I thought)

[winggundam01]

Well i am percistant and how do you fix those problems using virtual cub instead of anti freeze?

[doctorwu]

whoops! sorry I was away from the comp ^_^;;

k, so virtual dub. you play your avi file in it. if your file has bad frames, virtualdub will freeze. you delete the bad frame with virtualdub's menu options and then rename the file so you can tell apart later ;)

hope that helps

[winggundam01]

how do you delete the video frame?

[doctorwu]

hmm not sure off the top of my head ... I've never had to use virtualdub so far so I'm not absolutely sure what the procedure is.

[winggundam01]

then why did you say that i could use it? any way take a while quess about how to use it. ANTI FREEZE is a bust but if you can tell me how to use Virtual Dub to do it I will be back in buisness.

[doctorwu]

I know virtualdub has worked for others, and it seems like a stable tool. I wouldn't feel good about giving instructions though. If I were you, I would search for a tutorial -- that will be much more specific than I can get, never having had to use the program myself. the other program I would try is DivFix, which I dont think is the same as the antifreeze tool. That one's simpler, but a little less stable than virtualdub.

[winggundam01]

For some reason the anti freeze worked but now i need to use it again and for some reason It won't work any more. Does any one know a program that does the same thing as AVI anti freeze but dosen't screw up as much? I need to fix these avi files.

[winggundam01]

OK if you don't know another program do you know how to fix aniti freeze?

[winggundam01]

Ok I need some more help. I was going threw the serise and using virtual dub on the files that would work. and I got to episode 14 and it gave me an error message saying. "Coulding load decomprsor for format MP42(microsoft high-speed MPEG-4 V2)" what do i need to do to get this out of the way? I need this episode. And does any one know how to fix Anti freeze? (see previous replyies for more information.)

[winggundam01]

setarip i need your HLEP i have about 6 problems the major ones are that I need to fix some avi files and antifreeze was doing great but now it dosn't work. and when i was using virtual dub on file it said that it couldn't locate the decompressor for it. WHAT DO I DO? I NEED HELP?
this is screwing me up :smashead:

[setarip]

Two alternatives are DivFix and DivXG400.

As far as VDub "not locating the decompressor" - this simply means you don't have installed on your system the codec (video or audio, but most prbably video) used to create the .AVI. Go to the DivX Digest site and peruse the wealth of codec "packs" available.

By the way, (and I'll probably get flamed for saying, rather than just thinking it) I find it amusing that someone would respond to you with several posts about using VDub to "cure what ails you" - and then advise you that he/she has never used it ;>}

[winggundam01]

thank you but will there be a codec for mp42? I know there are a lot divx drivers but will it have a codec. And what would the divXG400be under in digital Diges?

[setarip]

"thank you but will there be a codec for mp42? I know there are a lot divx drivers but will it have a codec."

All you have to do is read the contents of the packs . Those that are referred to as "codec" packs certainly contain codecs.

"And what would the divXG400be under in digital Diges?"

Both DivXG400 and DivFix will be at:

http://www.divx-digest.com/software/g400_filter.html

[winggundam01]

I know DIVXG400 will stop it from freezing but will it repair the file because i need it repaired so I can use virtual dub. Any sugestions?

[winggundam01]

I was told by setarip that virtual dub could take out the dammaged frames. But how do i do it?

[winggundam01]

setarip HELP!
I need to know how to remove the bad frames using virtual dub.

[setarip]

1) Load your video into VDub.
2) Set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copying"
3) Using the slider at the bottom, find the first "bad" frame.
4) Under the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set selection start", or use the "Mark in" icon at the bottom.
5) Use your keyboard's right arrow to move in single frame increments.
6) When you've located the last "bad" contiguous frame in the group (it's bound to be more than just a single frame at each problem location), go one extra frame to the right and either use "Set selection end" from the "Edit" dropdown or use the "Mark out" icon at the bottom.
7) From the "Edit" dropdown, select "Delete frames".
8) From the "Files" dropdown, select "Save as .AVI" and save with a new name.

Let us know of your (continued) success ;>}

THANKS every think is working GReat. Now can Real media files be turned into AVI or MPEGs?

[setarip]

"THANKS every think is working GReat."

My pleasure ;>}

"Now can Real media files be turned into AVI or MPEGs?"

The program Tinra claims to be able to do this...

[winggundam01]

what about .asf files? Can they be turned into avi or vcd?

[setarip]

Yes, by using the older, specially modified ASF version of VirtualDub, which you should be able to locate at the DivXDigest site.
