Did you read format restrictions for DivX 5? Check your picture size - width must be multiple of 4, height must be multiple of 2.

I have the error code-2 problem. I had compressed a movie twice to fix some quality problems but now after 2 trys I can no longer save to avi.

I went into the divx properties to change the width and height to the correct multiples but it still won't work. Can someone please help me?

thanks in advance

You cant change that in the DivX encoder setup, but only in the resizimg filter of Virtualdub ...

I get this error when attempting to encode using VDub in the following scenario.

Input:
720x480, square pixels, HuffYUV "convert to YUV/predict median"

Output:
attempting to run 2nd pass of DivX 5.04 beta ("schizo") encoder.
1st pass ran correctly AFAIK, no problems.
attempt to begin 2nd pass (in Nth-pass mode) immediately brings this error.


Any suggestions?

=== edit ===

Forgive me, I figured it out. What happened: I was used to having my DivX 5.03 set up with the proper paths to H:\divx.log and H:\mvinfo.bin files. Notice that my hard drive is H: in this case, not the default C:.

So when I installed the DivX 5.04 beta update, it reset the default locations to C:\divx.log and C:\mvinfo.bin. Then my 1st pass ran correctly or appeared to. It should have complained that it was unable to save the log and mvinfo files... but it could not, because I had the "do not give warnings and errors" box checked! Therefore I remained unaware of the cause when my 2nd Pass failed.

If Phaeron sees this, may I suggest that the error popup for (error -2) be updated to include a note that advises the user to check whether pathways to logfiles (if any) are set correctly in the codec's configuration dialog. ?

Thanks again.

My pixel dimensions do conform to the requirements for DivX.
Does DivX have a problem encoding from YUV or something?
I believe I have encoded from YUV to DivX before, using 5.0.3.
Could this be a 5.04 beta problem?
