Standalone player wont play certain AVI's

[bionic]

To demux the streams
MKVextractGUI
To remux the ac3 and the H.264 streams in a "clean" mkv:
MKVMergeGUI

Make sure you enter the appropriate fps for the video stream.
If you use mediainfo the original mkv fps will propably be reported differently than what youd get if you play the H.264 stream and look at its properties.
For megui to do the best job possible id go with the stream info not the mkv info
(if we have the same source mkv will show 25.00 and the stream will show 27.03)
This way all the streams info needed for megui to encode proper are in place.

Or you could add the fps to the avisynth script itself:
DirectShowSource("video.mkv",fps=27.00)

?

AVISynth Script successfully saved this time but nothing happens when I click on enqueue or autoencode?

Most confused.....sorry!

 

[bionic]

No worries
Hmmm, sounds strange, you sure theres nothing listed in the queue window?
Perhaps trace your steps?

 

[Emmaxxx]

Just looked in the queue window and there are 46 jobs waiting!! LOL

I followed each step carefully, when I click on engueue an icon briefly appears in my system tray then disappears...?

Incidently what bitrate settings are you sellecting? I would imagine youre selecting 1 DVD, yes? And do you have Xvid selected on the bitrate calculator tool?

Lol good one

Sounds like its the divx menu feature thingy icon, usually pops up for a sec before xvid loads.
Yes 1 dvd should be fine, if your content with the output, and yes avi and xvid in the bitrate calc

Eureka!

Eventually got there...what a palava!
As you say the resulting AVI is really good quality. The audio was slightly out of sync but that was easily corrected in VDubMod when muxing.

There'll be no stopping me now! LOL

Couldn't have got there without your help. Thank you bionic
