AVI stream write error 2147205017

[deIcIde]

I always got this AVI stream write error 2147205017 when the encoding reaced 95%. I am trying to convert VOB files to AVI and save them on my hard disk which has 27 GB.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong? I used DIVX 5.02 codec, 2-pass.

How to know whether the audio is 44.1 KHz or 48 KHz?


Thanks in advance...

What software are you using?

[deIcIde]

First of all, thanks a lot for the reply.
The software is DVDx 2.0 and I am trying to encode VBO files to DIVX. I also used a ripping guide from http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/ar...anamorphic.cfm
but VirtualDub failed. As I recall, it says something like it can't locate something. The error message box disappeared so fast before my very eyes. So, I tried to use some software that can do everything for me(DVDx), but I got the AVIStream write error.
Does it have anything to do with the video format(frame per second, like 29.7 or 23.7. I am a newbie and I don't know which should I pick. So, I picked the highest one), audio format (44 or 48 KHz), DIVX encoder(1 pass/2 pass), resolution (e.g. 720 X 288)or stg else?

I'm sorry if it's too much for you. Please answer whicheva question you want if you can.

Thanks again...

"The error message box disappeared so fast before my very eyes."

VirtualDub's error messages DON'T disappear from the screen. I'd suggest that you In order to determine which codec(s) you need for a particular .AVI, you should do the following:

1) Load the file into VirtualDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (both video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

To begin with I suggest that you use another program. My suggestion is GordianKnot with divx 3.11 or 5.0.2. Do not use divx 4.xx!

Make sure you got the correct codecs installed to do what you need to do. I suggest that you first install 3.11, then 5.0.2 and if you want 4.xx in between.

Then install the GordianKnot package that you can find at http://gknot.doom9.org.
Important: First install the complete package, GordianKnot 0.21 and after that the upgrade package. You can also find guides over at that page. This shold be enough to make a working and good looking divx movie.

Good luck!

The guide does not say anything about using DVDx. Follow what it says in the guide and that means using DVD2AVI & vFAPI (frameserver purposes), DivX5 (Codec for compression) and VirtualDub (Encoder).

Otherwise, follow Erci's advice and have a go with GordianKnot, which is very user-friendly to even beginners.

I'll try Virtual Dub again later and will post if encounter problems. I'm now still on DVDx. I got it to work, but the audio comes a bit earlier than the video. What's wrong? When I tested, encoding only 1 chapter, it was ok.


Another thing is DVDx output file is in .AVI format, but I used the DIVX codec. Is it considered a DIVX file?

Thanks!

"Another thing is DVDx output file is in .AVI format, but I used the DIVX codec. Is it considered a DIVX file?"

Nothing unusual. Although it may also be used for other formats, DivX is typically a "subset" of .AVI...

An Avi file can be compressed with any kind of compressor. In your case, the data has been compressed using the DivX codec.

As for your audio synch problem, it could be caused by any of these two things:
1. Too high a video resolution so that your system is actually having trouble playing it smoothly, resulting in sound gradually going off-synch
2. Simply sound-synch, which is easily rectified by using Virtualdub's Interleaving setting

...resolution (e.g. 720 X 288)...

If you did use this resolution, your problem is likely to have stemmed from possibility (1).

I used 640 x 360 resolution to fill the entire screen, but the picture quality degraded a lot when viewing full screen. Is it too high to cause the sound to go off synch?
I am planning on reducing the Y size to hopefully make it better.
Does it have to do with the bitrate too? Is the higher it is the better the picture quality?

What are DIVX players for if it is still an AVI file? I tried to use such a player but it couldn't. It said it's not a valid Win 32 application.

Thanks!

That depends on whether your particular CPU is capable of handling the resolution. What is its speed anyway?

DivX files need to be played using media players, of which Windows Media Player and the DivX Player are such. The non-valid Win32 application indicates that the particular player file that you have downloaded is corrupted. You need to download a new one.

just a few quick questions so I can get a better picture.
1. When you are saving the .d2v file (Follow the guide properly this time), does the statistic window indicate whether your source is FILM or not?
2. Assuming you are using WinXP/2K, press Ctrl-Alt-Del and go to Task manager -> Performance. Play your video file and see whether the CPU Usage rises to 100% and remains there for the duration of playback
3. I would also very much like to see the file information that Setarip previously suggested that you post here

My comp speed is 1.4 GHz.

What I meant is the AVI file. When I tried to use the DIVX player that comes with the DIVX 5.02 codec, it said that file is not a valid win 32 app.

I used DVDx app software, so I didn't do what most guides tell me to do. I used to try, but I got stuck on the virtualdub step. I'll try it later and will post, but I am still trying to figure out how to get good quality film with DVDx. My past questions posted to you are all related to DVDx, no file converting to .d2v first.

Thanks...

It's a follow up on the DIVX player...
It works actually when I opened the AVI file from the player itself. If I right clicking on the AVI file and open it with the player, I got that not valid WIN 32 app error.

Do you know a good WAV to WAVwrapped MP3 enconder? I was trying to follow a guide that in the final step uses Virtualdub, but my encoder(CDex) doesn't seem to work.

Thanks

I can't remember exactly which program does that. You can use Nandub, though, to direct stream the audio with the video you are creating. nandub natively supports MP3 and hence, will not complain about it. As for an MP3 encoder, there are many of them out there. I would recommend that you use LAME.

[deIcIde]

I did use LAME, but I think we got misunderstanding here. I was talking about an encoder, not a codec. May be it's easier if you go to this site and see what I mean.
The step's header is CDex, which is the software name. It tells what to do with it and what it does.
