StreamSourceFilter::seekFromBeginning(0) out of readLimit: -1

[selim51]

Hello to all!

I don't know wether this is the right forum. But I decided to post my problem here because most of the people read in this forum I think.

Following happend: I ripped a movie and encoded it with Gknot 0.28.5. The avi-file has a size of 2.1GB, encoded with DivX 5.05 and AC3. When I have finnished the movie I opened it in a player and saw it was well encoded. Today I ripped another movie which also has a size of 2.1GB, DivX 5.05 and AC3. And also this movie was well encoded.

When later I decided to watch the first movie something happend. There is no video but sound. I have tried WMP, BSPlayer and WinDVD. No video but sound with all these players. When I open the file with VLC I can pretty watch the movie with video and sound. Also Nandub is showing the video if I play it.

When I try to open the file with DivxPlayer 2.1 it gives an alert saying StreamSourceFilter::seekFromBeginning(0) out of readLimit: -1.

I get the same problem with the second 2.1GB-file. But all other movies (700MB) do not have this problem.

I have read in a forum (don't know where) that it has to do with the filesize of the movie. So i decided to split the movie (sooner or later it had to be done). I can watch with VLC the whole file and the splitted files, even Nandub can play the movie. WMP, BSPLayer and WinDVD don't show video but play sound with both the whole 2.1GB and the splitted movie. DivXPlayer 2.1 can play only the splitted files without sound because it can't find the audiocodec (strange?).

Has anybody the same problem or can someone help me solving this problem, please.

I don't know what's causing it, but as I recall I was _never_ be able to play avi files sized more that 2G properly on my computer. Splitted files weere played flawlessly though... I guess there is nothing wrong with avi file itself. It's just the players don't handle it that well...
(but I bet there are players that can do that...)

p.s. DivX player cannot play AC3 sound! (don't use it anyway...)

The problem is as idescribed that after splitting the avi they can't watched, too.

But in the previous post you said that you CAN'T watch them...

sorry, if you was confused with my english. another try :-)

2 GB file:
- DivxPlayer 2.1: alert message
- WMP: no video, but sound
- WinDVD: no video, but sound
- BSPlayer: no video, but sound
- VLC: video ok, sound ok

After that I splitted the file in 3 files, each 700 MB.

splitted files (700MB):
- DivxPlayer 2.1: video ok, no sound (because it can't find codec)
- WMP: no video, but sound
- WinDVD: no video, but sound
- BSPlayer: no video, but sound
- VLC: video ok, sound ok

So why I don't see video of the splitted files on WMP or BSPlayer (they're my favourite players), too? I don't want use VLC. I use it for preview of temp-files.

how did you slit it, may be you've desroyed the AviHeader. This would explain the errormessage, i think.

I have re-installed the codec. I think you can assume what happend? Right. It works fine with both the 2 gig-file and the splitted files. Isn't that a bit strange?

Thank for your help.
