I'm attempting to reencode a DivX AVI to an XviD AVI using VirtualDub with Koepi's XviD Binaries.

I've tried 3 different versions:
04102002 - Latest Stable Binary
25112002 - Unstable Development Binary
and one of the prevous Unstable Dev Binaries...I think it was 21112002? Or something like that.

I'd assume its not the codec that is giving me problems, because with all 3, I'm getting the error:
"Video compression error: An unknown error occured (may be corrupt data). (error code -100)"

However, it's only when it's set for 2-pass that I get this error. CBR Seems to be working fine, however I'm not really sure how to calculate the CD size :P
I just kinda assumed the video was about 110 minutes (as it's only about 105 [I was chopping out the credits]). Then I did:
bitrate = size / length
bitrate = 670000 / (110*60)
bitrate ~= 1015 kbps

Does that sound right? It seems a little low to me...VCDs are 1150, but they arn't compressed, so hopefully it will be okay.

Some of this message should be posted in the n00b forum, but...oh well. Anyone know how I can get 2 Pass Internal working so I can be lazy and don't have to calculate the bitrate (and I can get VBR files)?

Also, one other thing...I had to resize the image, because the guy that encoded it to DivX didn't use the aspect ratio, however now I can't view it in full screen in windows media player. How would I go about fixing that?

Thanks!

This error message occurs when there are failures in your avisynth-script for example wrong paths!

Its also very common if you forgetthe little box that makes yo put the second pass in the job que.
Then the second pass starts without a stats file and you get the error.
Maybe its just me that makes these silly mistakes but i figured somene might do it aswell ;-)
