i posted this in the xviD section and was tolded it was the wrong section - that xviD is video and ACM is audio - d'oh - i just figured that maybe xviD used the a certain audio i didnt know.
i am not using colors ever again in a forum - that seemed to get more of a reaction than anything
this is my original post (sans the royalblue color):

i installed ffdshow-20020617.exe , OggDS0994.exe , riff-cdxa-filter-test6b.zip , VobSub_2.18.exe , XviD-04102002-1.exe
these came with a xviD video file (no names to protect the innocent) that i dled off the ngs

i can watch this movie in WMP no problem there but i want to watch on my dvd player - so i tried to run xvid dat file thru tmpgEnc - i have made sure that the direct show is highest priority
my error says this:
The error occured when ACM was initialized
I thought maybe i could convert dat to mpeg so i could frame serve but that didnt work
i tried to burn the dat as a vcd in nero but that didnt work

Help me puleez as alot of files posted to the ngs are now in xviD

peace
out

This video probably uses Vorbis as audio and you only have a directshowfilter, but no acm. Use VirtualDubMod to demux or decode it to wave.
