Problem with finished AVI file

topgamer101 · Post by **topgamer101** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 6:16 pm

So I use dvd decrypter and then virtual dub to finsh the product into an AVI file. My editing program Adobe Elements says it supports AVI but every time I try and up load it it never works no matter if the AVI came from me or somewhere else.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem, or maybe a way I can code the finished movie into a WMV file type? That file type works everytime.

what codec are you using?

The recommended ones. I don't remember the names off the top of my head. But EVERY AVI file has a problem in my program, so I'm starting to guess that is the problem since I've tried using multiple codecs with no different results.

Which code? Correct information makes a difference.

The correct ones in the guide. For as much as some ppl say "look at the guide" I'd expect others to remember them.

Well I just stopped a proccess in progress to figure it out.

Lagarath Lossless Codec & both Helix and Huffyuv.

Again though I've tried multiple ones along with those and even importing AVI files that were not from me and no AVI file works in my program.

The program is Adobe Premiere Elements 1.0. Says it works with AVI files but apparently it doesn't

But we, the ones giving the help, don't expect that anyone has read anything, because most people are too lazy to lurk before they post.

AVI is a container... if it's having issues with your files it's not that your program doesn't support AVI, it's having an issue with how the video is encoded inside the container.

What error messages are you getting? Are there perhaps multiple instances of the codec(s) you are using installed on your computer? Is more than one decoder set to handle the same thing?

While I have no idea about a decoder, I don't get error messages.

AVI files from VirtualDub I try to load, and they never load. The load bar never fills. The program doesn't freeze, I can cancel to load if I want, but it just sits at the load screen and the bar never fills.

As for the AVI files from another source, it loaded and I can preview it. However once it goes into the timeline and I render it I've gotten it so I can hear the audio, but no video plays off of these files.

Strangely enough, when I take those AVI files that I could upload but wouldn't show the video, and put them into VirtualDub and export them as AVI with Lagarath Codec, they work just fine.

I don't get that one.

I'm going to try ripping my dvd's with DvDycrpter again and see if the Vob files exported to the same thing give me the same won't load into the program problem.

Good to hear it's working this time. Never heard of Virtual dub randomly exporting bad stuff like that before, but since it seems to be working now, i guess it's all set.

Well it still remains to be seen if my dvd rips with Dvdycrpter still work, I'll probably post with the results later.

Thanks for helping
