Sometime ago i partially downloaded a movie (download broke). I had 2
movies like this, i opened them in virtualdub, it reconstructed index, and
on first movie all went ok, i was able to watch movie, and everything, on
second, it reconstructed index, but without the second messagebox
(somthing about bitrate), and when browsing through a movie, it displays
this :
Error decompressing video frame 0. An unknown error occured (may be
corrupt data), error code -100

at statusbar

at first thought it was just corrupted download, but again downloaded the
movie (again download broke), and situation was the same.

Please help me, thx in advance

cheers

Sounds like the AVI is still corrupt. What does VirtualDub say under File->File Information? You might try setting both audio and video to "Direct stream copy" and saving to a new AVI.

May the FOURCC be with you...

sounds like MS-MPEG4v3 encoded movie. You need an unlocked version of the codec to play this file. Install DivX ( version doesn't matter ) and when you want to open the file in VDub tick the extended options box in the File Open Dialog. Then you should see something which allows you to change the FourCC code of the video ( there are two boxes ). Set both to "div3" and the file should work ( after the index block has been reconstructed ).

Note: the encoding method used for this file involved an illegal codec!
