When encoding with mpg2avi on divx 5 codec I got the following message :


avi_fileopen() : AVIFileOpen() couldn't create D:\Divx_Temp\movie_1.avi!
According to the registry, the type of file specified in AVIFileOpen does not have a handler to process it. Error ID = 5

Try checking these key in your registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.avi]
@="avifile"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AVIFile\RIFFHandlers\AVI]
@="{00020000-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AVIFile\RIFFHandlers\WAVE]
@="{00020003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"


The first one is to say which type the file is.

And the next 2 say which RIFFHandlers are attached to AVI and WAVE files.
I'm not sure how this works, but when I set mine back to these values the error went away.

Thanks for the info.

I've upgraded since this last post to XP, and Divx Pro. I've not had a problem since.

Thanks again!
