    Divx ????

    How can one tell if the avi file is a regular avi file or a Divx avi file?? And what is the easiest way to convert an avi ( Divx or not ) into a VCD???

    Thanx in advance...

    For the first question, open the file in WMP 6.4, go to:
    File -> Properties -> Advanced

    If DivX Decoder Filter appears in the list, then you're playing a divx file.


    For the second question, use TMPGenc, which can be downloaded in the Software section

      u can also use virtualdub to check if it's a DIVX file.

      open virtualdub
      open video
      goto file > file information

      and it will tell you in the video compresser section

        A DivX-file IS a regular avi.
        don't trust in guides

          mmmm????

          I already have TMPGEnc, and have used this twice to convert an avi. But, after following the same procedures as with the first two, I am only getting a black screen with sound. With the first two, I could see the video as it was being changed in TMPGEnc. I can play the other files fine in windows media player or Power DVD ( both are avi files ) but when I try to convert, I get a black screen with sound.. Any suggestions?????

          Thanx again...

            Uninstall the DIVX v5 codec, install DIVX v4.xx codec

            then start encoding in TMPGEnc

            DIVX v5 is not compatible with TMPGEnc...have you tried the latest versions of TMPGEnc?

              My current version of 2.53 is compatible with DivX 5, so it makes sense that the latest version of 2.57 is as well.

                  Download the newest version of TMPG and try after that... if it doesn't work uninstall DivX 5xx.

                      Got it ifgured out.....

                      Ok. Ive figured it out. I used a program called AVI2MPEG. Theres two exe 's in the program. I used the first one
                      ( Decompress.exe ) but not the second one. Instead, I used TMPGEnc. Worked great and the vcd's look great..
                      Thanx for everyones help....

                      Have a great day....
