Encoding Problems!!!!! Please help

[Nifty23]

Hello there, I've been trying to encode a 700MB avi file and convert it to SVCD, but the thing is, the whole movie has bad frames, from the start to the end. When i play the movie on VLC media player, i don't encounter any bad frames, its as if it didnt have any, unlike playing it on windows media player, it continuously plays with bad frames. Now i tried encoding it through TMPGEnc, but it still shows bad frames. Now ive solved that by installin ght ffdshow codec, now im able to play the movie on windows media player without bad frames, however ive encountered several other problems:
1. It plays fine on WMP but when i encode in through TMPGEnc still has bad frames and after a while i get this message: Read error ocurred at address 00186BC6 of module 'TMPGEnc.exe' with FFFFF5F8
2. I then tried re-encoding it in virualdub using the video compression 'DivX 5.0.5 Codec' and also like TMPGEnc, i get bad frames and after a while i get dis error message. I then tried using the 'ffdshow Video Codec' but i got this error message: Cannot start video compression: An unknown error occured(may be corrupted data). (error code-100) So i uninstalled ffdshow and downloaded another one.
I tried setting the directshow to higher priority in TMPGEnc and it still didn't work. I also changed the FourCC to FMP4 and tried encoding it at TPMGEnc and it still didn't work, as if FFDShow isn't working. Well i got other files that are of XviD and are able to encode in TMPGEnc, VirtualDub but this is the only AVI XviD built that has bad frames while i encode through TMPGEnc. I currently have XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder and XviD MPEG-4 codec, which are both needed for the AVI file to run, i checked it at GSpot and said that i am able to play this file.
Can anyone help me solve this. Thnx alot in advance!!!!!!!!!!

is it ONLY this file that has these problems?

try running it through 'divfix', and encoding the new file...

Hey Anonymoz,
Thnx for replying!!!! Well, yes only this file has problems, so i tried rue suggestion and run it through 'divfix' and it found no errors, then i tried encoding the file after i rebuilded it in 'divfix' in TMPGEnc and still the same, has bad frames, and got the error message. Any other suggestions? Thnx!

have you tried running it through the latest virtualdub? got latest xvid? http://www.virtualdub.org

if still nothing, try this: uninstall xvid and the ffdshow you currently have installed, then download & install the 'october 13 2005' version of ffdshow from http://www.aziendeassociate.it/cd.asp?dir=/ffdshow

go to start-->program files-->ffdshow-->vfw codec configuration. click the 'decoder' tab, then 'codecs' in the left column. find 'xvid' under the 'format' column. change it from 'disabled' to 'livabcodec'. try encoding your file like you normally do.

if those methods don't work, i'm not sure whether much more can be done to fix this file...

WOW, it works!!!!!!! i did everything that u told me to do, i changed the settings to 'livabcodec' and it works, the file encodes perfectly in TMPGEnc and VirtualDUB. Thank you sooo much anonymez, i really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!
