I have an apparant avi van halen concert footage but need help?

[andjayik]

It appears according to info that the footage i have is avi, but wheb trying to convert to mpeg so i can put it on cd tmpge andmnero freeze at 34% of this file. If i play it on windows media there is a quick glitch at that point, but keeps playing. I really want to put it on cd but having a hard time trying everything to do it?

try virtualdub mp3 load the avi ,under video scan for screen freezes, it will log bad frames , then use virtual dub original to remove the bad frames, then tmpgen should encode it ok
hope this helps it works for me .

So you don't lose frames, use AVISynth instead.
A tad trickier to configure.
Because it plays fine in media player, the following should work.

First install AVISynth.
Then in notepad type the following:

Directshowsource("c:\temp\my_movie.avi")

Changing the file location.
Save it but name the file with a avs extension (test.avs)

Open in TMPGEnc and encode as usual.

PS
If TMPGEnc does not open the AVS file, add the following to the script:

Directshowsource("c:\temp\my_movie.avi" ,fps=25)

fps=frames per second so make sure you change the above to match the source video.
Also, VirtualDub will not output mpeg files.
