Problem in Compression-Somewhat new user

[srinathtk]

I have installed Div-x pro 5.02 version in my Win 98 system. When I opened Virtual dub to compress a movie file (.dat),I have selected the video -->Full compression mode.After this i selected the compression to get the compression dialog box. In that dialog I donot see Div-x compression option at all. What should I do?? I have restarted the system,tried installing the software-divxpro 5.02 again but no use. Please help me.

Strange.

Check this out. Go into SYSTEM.INI (located in C:\WINDOWS). Look down it for the tag [drivers32]. Under that tag, check to see if you have the following entry:

vidc.DIVX=DivX.dll

This is the entry that VirtualDub uses to find the DivX codec. If that line isn't there, the install didn't work.

Now check C:\WINDOWS/SYSTEM for the file DivX.dll - Same deal. Not there? Bad install.

Now: If the dll file IS there but the SYSTEM.INI entry isn't, just add that entry to SYSTEM.INI and cross your fingers. Hopefully that'll solve your problem.
