DivX Freezing Problem - Fixable??

[StuMcBill]

Hi

I have a DivX avi file of a TV episode that i ripped off a DVD using Avi.net.

15:43 through the file it just freezes and will not continue playing.

Is there anyway I can fix this file or will I just need to re-encode the Episode again?

Thanks for any help

Hi!

Try the following:


1) Load the .AVI file (DivX-compressed or otherwise) into the most recent version of either VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod

2) Set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copy"

3) Select "Scan videostream for errors"

4) Select "Mask bad frames"

5) Save with a new filename

Hi and welcome to the forum,

There are some tools to reconstruct indexes that may or may not work: avifix or avimaster or something like that, use google; or if you are familiar with Vdubmod open the avi and save with a new name using the video mode direct stream copy and answering accordingly to warning messages.

This is 50/50 so if it fails, re-encode :)

Edit: the Vdubmod solution given by Setarip_old is the same as mine but newbie guided and with all needed explanations, good luck.
