Did you try this method? (originally posted by setarip):

1) Load the .AVI file (DivX-compressed or otherwise) into the most recent version of either VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod

2) Set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copy"

3) Select "Check for errors"

4) Select "Mask bad frames"

5) Save with a new filename

ok i set it to Direct Stream Copy and to check for errors, but i couldn't find mask bad frames, and do i do all this after the reconstructing the missing blocks. because as soon as i open the file that immediatley happens

"but i couldn't find mask bad frames"

"Video" > "Scan Video Streams For Errors" > "Mask Bad Frames". You first have to "Scan".

I forgot to mention, this is what you do in "VirtualDubMod" not the regular "VirtualDub".
