AMVapp Issues

Postby vtsfy » Thu Nov 16, 2006 2:20 pm

I downloaded the AMVapp version 2.1 from here, and when I tried to open it I recieved this error:

The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.
This could be a result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus.

You may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy.

It may be possible to skip this check using the NCRC command line switch
(NOT RECOMMENDED).


I know the error is not because of the listed reasons, so how do I "contact the author"? Or what else could I try?

Are you sure it downloaded completely? Tried different browsers, download managers? It works fine for me.

Devilmaykickass-- I'm using Internet Explorer, on Windows XP

Orwell-- Yes, I'm sure it downloaded completely each time I tried it. And what do you mean, different download managers? Is there a different place I can doenload it from besides a-m-v.org?

I'm really at a loss. Is there another program that does the same tasks? Maybe I could use that one.

Have you tried Opera, Netscape, or Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer?

And by "download managers", Orwell meant not only the download software native to the Internet Explorer browser (as well as other browsers) but also standalone download managers, like DownloadAccelerator, GetRight, PuxaRápido and FlashGet, among others.

Scintilla-- Would FireFox be a good browser to try? It's recommended for another website I frequent, anyway, so I guess I could try that one.

Gepetto-- Which Download Manager would you recommend?


While I've been waiting for replies, I looked over the instructions for Ripping the DVDs, and I admit I'm pretty lost. The technical jargon throws me off. I wouldn't want to call myself computer illiterate, but let's say I'm going to need a lot of help after this hurdle is jumped. (I know I'm being a bother... I should probably just try and puzzle it out on my own, but help is appreciated.)[/b]

I would reccomend the Firefox browser. I love that it's so versatile and customizable, not to mention free and open-source.

For download managers, my favorite is GetRight (which is shareware) but DownloadAccelerator Pro is also very good.

I have History class now but I'll post the links when I come back.

Mozilla Firefox
GetRight
Download Accelerator Plus

I don't know how useful this post was since you can find all of it through Google. Maybe Ill turn my signature space into a link depot.

GetWise and Download Generator

Postby vtsfy » Wed Dec 06, 2006 3:50 pm

Okay, I have Firefox now. When I tried to download GetRight, I received this error:

The file 'C:\Program
Files\GetRight\UNWISE.EXE' could not be
opened. please check that your disk is not full
and that you have access to the destination
directory. The system cannot find the path
specified.


So I tried saving it in a different location and received this error:

You do not have access to make the required
system configuration modifications. Please
rerun this installation from an administrators
account.


The second error was probably due to the fact that I'm on a school computer, though. I just wanted to try these programs out before downloading them to my computer, anyway. I'm not sure what error I got with Download Generator, but I'll post it as soon as I remember.

Bah, I mean Accelerator. XD
Forgive me, I'm not running full-steam today. =)


At any rate, Download Accelerator Plus would not download for me. At all. This may be due to, once again, me being on a school computer (especially since I had to run through a Proxy site to get to speedbit.com, where DAP is.)

Are there any other suggestions? I guess I could just try on my home computer, but I'm rarely on that since I have work and Dual Credit college courses. I get on the school's computers often because I have two computer classes, so I'm trying to work around these issues that arise (including the fact that my teacher doesn't bother to actually TEACH, and has no administrative abilities, himself). I'm so sorry I'm being so much trouble for you guys.

That isn't by far a problem. These forums exist for us to help each other out.

The errors you got when trying to install GetRight mean that your account at the school network doesn't have administrator privileges (which is normal for a student's account). If you install at home, it should work. Proxy servers are no good for downloading, so there's your problem with DAP.

But we may be beside the point. If you can't install the AMVapp, then you can download each component separately. It's a little more troublesome, but it has an advantage: you only download and install the stuff you really need, and you know what you have. This page should have a list of what software comes with AMVapp Anyways, here's the list from when I run the installer:

    AMVapp Readme Files
    AviSynth 2.56alpha
    AviSynth plugins
    Premiere AVS Import Plugin
    DVD Decrypter 3.5.2.0
    DGMPEGDec 1.2.0
    BeSweet and Lame MP3 ACM Encoder
    HuffYUV and Lagarith Lossless Codecs
    XviD 1.0.3 - Koepi Build
    FFDshow (18th July 2004)
    VirtualDubMod 1.5.4.1
    Helix YUV Codecs
    AVIfrate and Graphedit


Some of these elements pertain only to the AMVapp (like the readme files and the Premiere AVS Import Plugin GUI) while others have newer versions available on the web (like FFDshow, VirtualDubMod and HuffYUV, although the latest HuffYUV release appears to be somewhat unstable*) so there's pros and cons on both sides.

Hope I've been helpful.
