pb reading avi files compressed in VD
I compressed avi files from a dv camera, to smaller avi files through VirtualDub and Divx 5, in order to put them on CD.
But when I try to read these new files, wether in WMP or in Playa, after 20 or 30 sedonds, the computer switches off, starts again, bugs while starting...
I copied some of these files, with difficulties, on a cd (using DirectCD, because it was not working with CDcreator), and the same thing happened on another computer.
I tried to copy them through Nero, and Nero told me:
"medium speed error/invalid write state/could not perform endtrack/burn process failed at 1x).
So, I don't know why, but it seems that my files are corrupted. Maybe it is because I compressed video but not sound (as I want to work on these films as material for anthropology, I wanted the best sound possible). May be something else lacks in my computer. I tried to convert one of these compressed avi files in mpeg4, same result. It is not from XP, because it did the same on a computer with W2000.
So does anyone know why these files can't be read, and if there is a way to fix them. It took me two weeks to capture and compress these files, and they are still on my HDD, for more than 10 G!
thanks in advance
