Always error in divx

[ianinmalaga]

Hi everyone,

Well I managed to get everything working with my encoding of a movie - it works sweet but everytime it finishes and then I test it I get an error.

Well actually if I try and open it with the Divx Alpha it won't even open, but Windows Media Player opens it but about 1/8th of the way through it says invalid file format.

This is really strange as I have followed the guide here at Doom9. I have my log file here, maybe I should upload it?

I can't seem to find anything I am doing wrong, I am doing large (near perfect) encodes using dvd-r in Gknot. I am no longer using the Pro features of divx as size isn't an issue.

Any ideas or comments anyone has would be really appreciated.

Oh.. I am using the latest Divx Pro 5.0.2 ...

Thanks in advance

Ian

THanks for the reply, ok here is my log. Seems everything is ok but maybe I am missing something. Oh 1 thing to mention is that I don't do credits i.e. I don't use Start Credits button as I encode credits the same as everything else and I am using ac3 audio.. heres the file.. any ideas? Thanks in advance - I know it must be something silly...

and to confirm when I try and open newglad.avi in Divx Aplha player it says "failed to open" and in Windows Media player it does start to play but if I fast forward it then it says "the file format is invalid"

Strange...?

Well I don't know what the problem is, but it sounds to me like you have a file larger than 2 Gigs. Check out this post, I hope it can help you.

Is this your first try doing a DivX at that size? I have never done DivX at that size myself, so I don't know what results you can expect, but that is the only abnormal thing I could see in the log.

You could try doing the encoding at quality based mode with a fixed quantizer 2. Unless I've misunderstood something that should give you maximum quality (and you don't have to do a 2-pass). Though perhaps you have to do this manually through VirtualDub and then mux the ac3 with NanDub.

You could also try installing the decoder ffdshow (do a search, I don't have the link on this computer).
