Trying to recompress a file into xvid format. The avi file was too much damaged for Virtualdub's "scan unreadable frames" to work it out, so i passed the movie thrue TMPGEnc.

What puts me at lost is that when I try to reencode this newly made .mpg file, Virtualdub will spit an error "Source format is unacceptable". If I process it with 1.4c ASF, it will kindly process the file.

It seem the higher the version, the more picky Vdub is. I find it especially frustrating when tring to append two files and it will kick itself in the butt with a "not same frame rate" and there is only a .00000000001~ difference! Again, you do the same in 1.4 ASF (or about prior to 1.4.8) and it will work ~(_x-(o).

Is there something i'm missing? I mean, yes, I often manage to get things done but sometime, it's a heck of a fight that I just can't win.

I think i found the answer in another post. It would seem now that cropping must yeild H/V sizes by a factor of four. Previous Vdub did not care about that. Vdub message should say "size" instead of "format". It would be less confusing, more straight forward. I interpreted "format" as either the codec I was using (xvid, divx, ...) or the file type (mpeg, avi, ...). I never occured to me it meant the size of the image was (now) incorrect. mad.gif wink.gif
