I always use Tmpgenc to convert avi to mpeg. I just recently finish converting the drama Goong S and did not encounter any problems. I started to convert another drama but Tmpgenc said "file cannot open or unsupported". I check with GSpot on the codec and it says ITU H.264 is not available.

What codec is this? I already has all the codecs from K-Lite or do I need to update the codecs again or do I just download this new codec.

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

When I play AVI files on Nero Showtime, the video is out of sync...is there something wrong with the codecs?

No. Something is wrong with the video itself after it was converted or you have other applications running in the background while watching the video.

For example, when I watch anime and convert a movie to dvd format at the same time. The anime's video lags and the audio goes out of sync.

But when I play it on other programs, the video files are fine.

i don;t know if i'm at the right place to ask this but i'll give it a try.
i have a zen and it sometimes doesn't let me transfer some avi files
and i just spent the last hour looking and downloading AVI to WMV converters.
does anyone know a good, free one that doesn't leave a watermark right in the center of the darn video and converts 100% of the video?

Playing/Troubleshooting Downloaded Movies Guide
Written by darkmafiaguy.

Most movies you download nowadays are made in the AVI format. There are two types of AVI's generally, uncompressed and mpeg4(DivX, XviD). To run these files, you need third party software. If your files are not working properly, please follow the instructions in this guide before posting for help. Thanks.

1. Video not working
If you open up an AVI file, and the video does not play (or your player reports that it cannot find the proper codec) chances are you don't have the DivX or XviD codec. A codec decodes information to play video.
To find out how the AVI file you are trying play is encoded, download a program called GSpot which identifies the format in which the video and audio is encoded in:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm

After opening the file in GSpot, look in the codec area inside the Video box so figure out which codec it uses. If it says DivX then head over here to install the DivX codec:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DivX_Free.htm

If it displays XviD, install either one of these:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Koepi_XviD.htm
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Nic_XviD_Codec.htm

After installing, you may need to restart your computer. Then run the avi file and the video should play.

Sidenote: If it says Mpeg-2, then you need an Mpeg-2 codec:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Stinky_MPEG_2_Codec.htm

2. Audio not working
If you open up an AVI file, and the audio does not play it probably means the audio is encoded in AC3 (a 5.1 channel sound format) or the more uncommon DTS (another higher quality 5.1 channel sound format). To play either one of those, you can install AC3Filter:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/AC3_Filter.htm

Make sure to downloaded the newest one, as the older AC3Filters do not support DTS. After installing, play the AVI file in your media player and the sound should work.

If you find out, using GSpot, that you have an OGG audio stream, use Media Player Classic:

3. Subtitles not working
Subtitles generally come in the .srt (Subrip) or .sub formats. In both formats, there is raw text which gets read and played, unlike subtitles in DVDs which are images. There are a few option you have in playing these subtitle files. The first thing you should do before using any of these methods is to put the subtitles in the save folder as your avi files and with the same name. For example, if the name of your avi file is "Two.Guys.DivX.DVDRip" then the subtitles should also be named, "Two.Guys.DivX.DVDRip" If you have extensions showing, leave the extensions as they originally were. The first option you have in playing subtitles is using a plug-in called VobSub:

http://www.divx-digest.com/software/vobsub.html

It will directly render the subtitles to the video in realtime. What does this mean? It allows you to use it with any media player and it will also display the subtitles for you into video automatically if your converting it in certain programs. This is great when using unconventional media files, such as RM. After installing it, just play your AVI files and the subtitles should automatically be played by VobSub. If it doesn't work with VobSub, use the following method.

Another way, to play subtitles is to use a different media player altogether which supports subtitles. I prefer this method because I find VobSub a bit glitchy. The one I use is called BSPlayer. Download:

http://www.bsplayer.org/

After installing, run the AVI file in BSPlayer, and the subtitles should automatically load. Using BSplayer, you can do a couple of nifty things relating to the subtitles. To move them up or down, (which is useful in fullscreen mode) hold shift and press the up or down arrow keys. To correct the time, hold Shift and press the right and left arrow keys to move the subtitles times forward or backwards respectively in 200 ms increments.

Alternatively, you can use a program called Subtitle Workshop to permanently edit the subtitle file to your liking, this includes shifting the times to correct the time:

Thats all for now, check back later for more troubleshooting information!

i downloaded the codecs and stuffs but my sound still doesn't work ;-;

it says "this file contains a track in the Dolby AC3 Audio (code "8192") format. You may need to install a DirectShow decoder for this audio format in order to hear the soundtrack of this file."

When I tried to update my DivX it said it installed but it's still playing ver 6.4. I think it said I could download DirectShow too but i thought I didn't need it at the time so i just cancelled it. So I tried looking for it on download.com but couldn't find it.

I hope i don't sound stupid ^^; Somebody help me please? :x

Just download CCCP or K-Lite codec pack. Google it and it's the first link.

That's all you need to do if it's a codec problem, so you will less likely encounter problems in the future.

.MPG VIDS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY

So I wanted to make DVD's of my recent collection however the .mpg vids never show up and they have only audio. Same goes for when I make a tribute on Windows Media Movie Maker, it only gives the audio. Any proper suggestions. I tried installing the K-Lite codec pack to solve the problem yet still no use.

Thanks in advance.

[theLOSER]

thanks for the links.
this has never happened to me before.
thanks so much

[chobit145]

I need some help ><
Every time I try to play my AVI files on Real Player, Windows Media Player, etc it keeps on saying
"Real Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
same goes for Windows Media Player =|. But in the past I was able to view AVI files without a problem. It just started today ><. I uninstalled and reinstalled Real Player but that didn't work. and I downloaded all the codecs already ._.
Can someone pinpoint the problem here? T.T

[i.nvalidc.reditc.ard]

Please help me, I've asked several other forums and still haven't been able to solve this problem

About a month ago I finished building a new computer, I put in a new mobo, cpu, video card, etc. I was able to watch anime on it in the beginning, but now when I watch videos the video is really slow and choppy; my sound works perfectly fine tho.

I don't think I have a problem with my video card, because it has this seperate control application and I can see a sample video smoothly. I've heard that I could have a codec problem, because I do remembering downloading a K-lite codec pack to watch this one video but I uninstalled it afterwards.

I can view videos on the internet perfectly, I don't know if that helps. Also when I play videos my CPU usage is in the 90s-100. I've defragged my computer and done a few virus scans and that changes nothing. I've also used several media players WMP, VLC, etc. and VLC works the best but it still doesn't work like it used to (I've also uninstalled and reinstalled VLC)

I'm sry if this post is long and would really appreciate some advice.

Asus P5VD2-X Mobo
Ati Radeon X300SE

Please help me, I've asked several other forums and still haven't been able to solve this problem

then read this:

Be sure you set most of the frequently used codecs listed (DivX, XviD, mpeg1 & 2, WMV1,2,3) to libavcodec as shown. Also make sure you've properly installed the latest ATI Catalyst drivers for your Radeon X300SE.

The choppiness may be a result of the videos you're watching being encoded in the H264 codec (filename would still end in AVI). H264 files are becoming a very popular codec to use but it's very demanding (processing power-wise) especially at resolutions higher than 640x480. At resolutions that high and higher, a Pentium 4 at 3.2ghz may or may not be fast enough to playback videos without skipping.

Following the instructions above will help because FFDSHOW is faster at decoding mpeg-4 videos than the original DivX & XviD codecs. Using another player like Media Player Classic in combination with ffdshow will help.

I was downloading Coffee Prince from Megaupload- (.avi file) and I can hear the sound- but no pictures!! Help!!!

My problem while playing some AVI files, is that the background sound plays MUCH louder than the actual voices. I have k-lite codec pack. I heard that my problem has to do with "channels". I'm guessing something is wrong my my audio settings. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?My problem while playing some AVI files, is that the background sound plays MUCH louder than the actual voices. I have k-lite codec pack.
