problem with dv-avi

[paglamon]

Unregistering shmedia.dll prevented explorer from crashing.
But,I still cannot play the file.GSpot cannot render it too.In FFDSHOW,DV has been set to libavcodec.Haali's Splitter has been installed.Here is the GSpot info:

OK. Latest update on my problem: I could open the file in TMPGEnc Plus.Still no luck with MPC or GSpot or VLC.

Just like to add that when I first tried Avi2dvd and Super, the tools caused some weird problems such as frozed Virtualdubmod, slow and sluggish to open file with Media player Classic,...After uninstalling them, the problem disappeared. That why I never want to use the apps again

Still no luck with... VLC.

Now that's odd. Tried re-muxing with Virtualdub or Avi-mux GUI?

Might be because (IIRC) TMPGEnc uses VFAPI by default.

VirtualdubMPEG2 gave a Data Error(CRC check).
VirtualdubMod started reconstructing missing index blocks and stopped at some point.
AVIMuxGUI just disappeared when I addd the file to it.
VLC apparently was playing the file,but there was no video or audio.It gave this info about the file:

Looks like a bad burn, therefore a corrupt AVI. Can TMPGEnc read the entire file?

It might be best to get your friend to burn it again, maybe at a lower speed and better media. If that is not possible, open it in TMPGEnc and encode to Huffyuv or MSU Lossless. It might not be the complete footage, but it will be lossless, so you can edit it from there.

Yes.This is the inference that I also drew from the whole episode.Thank you for confirming it.I will now try opening it in all sorts of programs that I have and see what comes out of it.One thing though;my friend said that he could open the file in MPC? Should I believe him? He burned in BenQ 1650.My drive is BenQ 1640.

Mid code: DVSN -80
CD Speed cannot start to do the test.As soon as I click on start it closes down with an error message.Looks like a very,very bad media and burn.

Isobuster was the first program I tried to extract the file to HD with. Too many unreadable sectors.

older lg or pioneer drive might read it?

better to just have your friend reburn and verify

Moved to Blank Media & Burning.

Even better might be to burn it myself when I get hold of those mini-dv cassettes.I have you learned people to confer,he doesn't.
