hiya,
am pretty sure you can tell from the title of the post what I'm after.
what it is, is for a few possible ideas I have for different types of problem divxs I've had, both those with lots of broken frames that can't be fixed properly in vdub without affecting quality badly (when the film plays more or less perfect with avidefreezer codecs on, but vdub you have to delete seconds of it at a time), and also those divx's where the framerate for both the audio or the video are wrong which causes drifts in the encode but which vdub etc plays them in sync.
for example, the film Pushing Tin I have downloaded lately. the film is riddled with errors in vdub, and not the regular (x bad frames, x good frames but undecodeable message), so it means that in order to fix it you have to delete the start of it, to the beginning of the next keyframe which could be 2 seconds later....and theres a lot of these in particular in this movie, and at some crucial bits too. However, in windows media player,graphedit, etc (using ace mega codec pack installed) the film plays pretty much perfectly...maybe a couple of artifact or blocks popup at that point but you can barely tell.
another example, is the film detroit rock city, which has an fps for the video at 23.980 and an audio fps of 23.987, I've tried every way under the sun using, tmpgenc, dvd2svcd, cool edit, soundforge, etc to change the wav to match before and after the encode of the video, and it will never get in sync, and always drift out of sync badly....however, the avi plays perfectly in iikes of vdub, media player graphedit, etc
So my idea.....to use, by loading into graphedit, the problem avi.....then....if its possible, to set up the links to point to using for example the divx 5.02 or whatever encoder, set at a high quality setting so that nothing should be lost, and same for audio into some regular mp3 or ac3 or whatever format, all at the correct framerate,.....then have it write the file directly to the hard drive instead of playing it on screen.....just like you can do with the wav dest and file writer for audio.....
I hope this is possible...however...by playing with the filters so far adding and removing some, I cant seem to find the write combination that will allow me to choose for example the divx5.02 codec and then to wwrite it to a file.
anybody who knows how to use all the filters there have any idea if this could be possible, to have it resave. hope so,
many thanks (hopefully),could be a big problem solved for lots of people if it worked.

PS....also have a read of this thread that I put in the video capture forum too for another potential solution to the problem to see if you could perhaps use this method too if possible
