What tool did you use ? DVDToOGM ? GKnot ?
This error means that the script file used in VirtualDubMod tried to set settings on a stream that hasn't been define (thanks to a SetSource function), or maybe that the script file skipped one stream (for example using stream[0] and then stream[2] instead of stream[1]).

Thank you for your answer. :)

I used DVX(a collection of tools), i think it includes DVDtoAvi.

Is there any way to solve this problem? Or do you have a easy HowTo, da encode a mpeg file into *.avi?

Please excuse my poor english. ;)

Well unless you were doing some fancy stuff I think you should be able to encode directly in VirtualDubMod.
It should be able to open your mpeg file. Then you will have to change the video codec you want to use ('Video -> Compression', and check 'Direct stream copy'; you should look at Doom9's guides about VirtualDub/VirtualDubMod, they explain all of the things you can do), and the audio ones (if there is audio) looking in the 'Streams -> Stream list' window (it lists all non-video streams you will mux in your final file). Right-clicking on a stream in the list that appears will popup a menu where you can change the processing ('Direct stream copy' means you won't recompress the audio, but IIRC when it comes from an mpeg file the audio is decompressed, so I guess you will want to recompress it and in this case you will need 'Full processing mode') and the compression used (as for video).

When you set everything you can save you file using 'File -> Save as' (don't forget to select 'AVI' as output since that's what you want to save to).

Actually you should even be able to do the same thing in VirtualDub (if your file is an mpeg1 file) or fccHandler's MPEG2 mod (if your file is mpeg2). The main differences are in the way you configure audio (VirtualDub handle only one audio stream thanks to the 'Audio' menu - this is the one we popup when you right-click in a stream in the list), and how you save (VirtualDub saves to AVI thanks to the 'Save as AVI' menu item).
