DivX 5 -> Lagarith -> DivX 6 = no workee

[keys]

I have a problem and I'm not sure whether it's a Lagarith problem or a DivX problem - or some other kind of problem.

I've got a file that's currently DivX 5 and I need to do some de-interlacing and expend the picture frame etc - just general stuff.

To preserve as much quality as I can I converted the DivX 5 file into a Lagarith file with VirtualDub and the MP3 to PCM audio.

Okay so when I had that Lagarith file I ran it through VirtualDub again and applied the necessary filters and resized converting to DivX 6 and sound back to MP3.

However the new DivX 6 file literally had 1 video frame with full sound - essentially sound only with no video.

When I tried to convert just the Lagarith file on it's own by dragging it onto the DivX 6 converter it just through up an error message and said it wasn't doable.

Now my question is - is their a well known conflict beetween Lagarith and DivX 6 I'm not aware of or is this actually a simple problem to resolve?

this must be a problem caused by the lagarith vfw decoder used in vd.

apart from that i dont think that this lagarith step in between is necessary at all

I'm guessing I'd perhaps need to contact the guy who does Lagarith then? As there's no forum on his page and no contact e-mail address does anyone know if he ever drops by here?
