Hi all I have a Xvid.avi file that I wish to convert to mpeg. but there is a fault in the rip. What program would be best to cut out the bad area and resplice the Xvid.avi file so I can convert it. I only need to remove about 2 seconds of the file, TO remove the fault. Sorry. If this is so basic, I am a newbie. The Gnome_X_X_X_X_X_[small]No WAR in IRAQ[/small]
ok, i had the exact same problem, and don't worry this isn't basic. What you will be doing is you won't be cutting out 2 seconds of the movie, you will be fixing the faulty frames, theres about 6 of them. You need to download a program called avi fixed, you can download it here: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/avifix.html
If this is the Two Towers Vite xvid release, divfix might not fix the problem. It worked for some and didnt work for others!
The program i was suggesting that he/she uses wasn't divfix, it was avifixed, its a different program.
after you run the avi through avifixed, it says the frames that it corrected and "file fixed" in the text box. there is no place to save the fixed file so my question is does it overwrite the original file and autmoatically save it or do you need to rename and save the new file? when i went back to the original file after using avifixed on it and ran it through vdub, i still got error messages giging me the impression that it never fixed anything, i didn't run the correct file in vdub, or i have no clue what i am doing.
Ok, well i prolly can't help you there, because actually what happens is it overwrites the original file fixing the 6 or so faulty frames, you shouldn't get an error message anymore because i didn't after i ran avifixed and everything went fine, sorry =(
your "avifixed" program only ruined my lotr:ttt it made the picture display really small, and it wont go large anymore, i put it in full screen, it shows up in the bottum left really small. and STILL crashes at the same spot with golem! sum1 help me fix this damned thing, i spent 3 days downloading it! ok, heres an edit/update. i restarted the comp a few times and the video is fine now, accept one thing, the frames still make it crash at golem, and in another specific place with the black haired white faced evil guy that was helpin the white wizzard control the king.. hes talking to the this chick and it freezes but audio keeps going, jus like the spot with golem.. the aviFixed program said it repaired it, but it didnt.. help anyone?
