Is there any way to repair an already compresed xvid file with wrong resolution?

[Rekma]

I mean, with diagonal lines.

I compresed an avi file with xvid and didn´t knew that the resolution had to be a x16 (cropping left it with 484x384 resolution)...when finished i deleted the source capture....so i can not recompress the file with a valid resolution :(.

(Sorry about my english).

Thx.

Recompress would mean a huge loss of quality. Why not resize while playing the file thanks to a DirectShow filter like ffdshow ?

I don't know of anything you could do. Perhaps try playing with ffdshow as XviD can encode in resolutions that it can't play (seriously).

It is likely that the video itself is corrupt however, not the renderer, as XviD's colourspace routines assume 8-byte alignment.

Can you load the file with Avisynth and resize it from there?

I´ve tried resize to 512x384, recompress and still broken.....i can play it with bsplayer overlay mode2 but not everybody can....playing is not the problem, but fixing it properly.

¿Any other idea?

Thx soujir0u, -h and Pasqui for the reply.

You can play it through bsplayer (via dshow obviously)?

Try making an avisynth script that loads the avi via DirectShowSource() then, and see if that works.

I´ve tried
DirectShowSource("rute/filename.avi",25)....it opened....no diagonal lines, but the image is still broken (distorted)....you can not see whats on the video.

But it looks fine in bsplayer? That's bizarre.

You could make a graph in Graphedit that re-encodes the video, but you'd have to find out which filter bsplayer is using that's capable of decoding your AVI.
