What's wrong with my XviD file?

[lordyu]

Hi all,

I have this XviD file (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bbjune/xvid-qg.avi) (1.4MB) which I made by converting from a TV capture in MPEG2 to XviD using VirtualDub-MPEG2-18289 + XviD-1.1.-127-06112004.exe (Kopie's) and I just found out that the file won't load in any VirtualDub or play in mplayerc.exe (6.4.8.2) using any XviD codec. The file crashes mplayerc.exe, It, however, loads and plays fine using DivX 5.2.1 or ffdshow-20041012.exe.

XviD builds that fail to play/load the file:
-XviD-1.0.3-20122004.exe (Kopie's)
-XviD-1.0.3.exe (Celtic Druid's)
-XviD_Install.exe (Nic's)
-XviD-1.1.-127-06112004.exe (Kopie's)
-XviD-1.1.0-Beta1-16012005.exe (Kopie's)

I can't re-encode the file at the moment. Any ideas?

resolution of the file is 720x426 - 426 is the offending issue -
I resized clip in avs to a mod 4 value and it opens fine in vdub

#Avs script
AVISource("C:\xvid-qg.avi")
bicubicresize(720,428,0.60)

Its a issue with final output size -
final resize values should be at least divisible /4 evenly :)

Also for the best results when encoding to any type of mpeg compression use a resolution that is devisible by 16.

Thanks, Koti and *.mp4 guy.

Just wonder why no problem with ffdshow.
