1) Load the original video file into VirtualDub (or one of its many variants) or NanDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (BOTH video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

frame size 352x288 25.000 fps (40000 ps)
length 93708 frames ( 1:02:28:32)
decompresser divx 5.1. 1 codec
number of key frames 313

min/avg/max total delta frame size 58/58/58 (5290K)
data rate 12 kbps (28.04%overhead)

thats all the info it gave me

[trey4sports]

it didnt give me ANY audio info

[setarip]

"it didnt give me ANY audio info"

This plus the video information you've provided appears to indicate a fake file...

[trey4sports]

thanks for the info

[setarip]

"thanks for the info"

it may also be that your virtualdub is missing a library
and the audioformat therfore is not supported.
the black screen with the logo showing could indicate
a Direct show conflict.
in this case remove ALL prior Divx Codec versions from your
system. Like Divx 5.05 or any hacked codecs.

of course there is also the possibility that it is a fake file.
like setarip said. to make sure,load your video also into Gspot
Gspot can be downloaded here:
