Divx to VCD trouble

[g4ry13]

I got a film and when i was downloading it, it said it was divx. So i opened virtualdub up and went to open the film up, but it said i didn't have "mpg4" and couldn't open the film. I decided to go to Gspot and ran a check of the film, and it said the audio and video codecs were compatible. It also said it was a true avi. I even ran a program avi checker and it said it was compatible.

I went to TMPEGenc and i went to open the file, but it said it was unsupported and could not open the file.

I'm quite lost at the moment about what route to go down.

Appreciate any help

Thanks Gary

Have you tried downloading and installing the divx software as this has the mpg4 codec built in. I had similar problems playing mpg4 in any kind of software untill i installed divx, seems to have update all my software to the 4 codec.

Thanks for the reply. As far as i know, i have all the divx. Virtualdub works with my other divx films, this one's a weird one.

Try this site for the codecs, it seems to have the vurtualdub mpeg4 codec and also the divx 5.1 codecs.

Thanks for the help, i downloaded the codecs but it still doesn't work on virtualdub. I don't know what else i can try next, i may have to get it from someone else.

Appreciate any more ideas.
