Xvid Movie Crashes At Certain Frame.

[CyberCryptic]

Hey, when my (XVID) movie gets to a certain frame it brings up the Crash dialog box and crashes, i tried repairing the file with DIVXRepair (which also works with XVID and uses VirtualDub) and when it gets to that frame, it crashes aswell, is there a program i can use to prevent this, or so i can repair the file. Thanx

M8 u could open the file with vdub and search for and cut out the bad frames
or u coUld tri changin the 4cc code to divx and install divx anti freeze,
which may help the movie from crashin or freezin

How do i change the FourCC do i just go into VirtualDub and save it as an AVI but compress it as a DIVX> and will it loose quality

no m8, u don't need to reencode the movie.
The 4cc changer just allows and other codec say (divx) to b used to
read the file instead of the original codec (xvid)

U can find the 4cc changer and divx anti freeze progs in the kazalite codec pack or through a search on google.

with the 4cc changer goto start menu>program>4cc changer
select ur file then in the top box choose xvid,divx in the other, now the file will b read with divx instead of xvid.
