eruthrosI have got a couple .avi files that don't play. Before I get rid of them, I wondered if any of y'all had encountered this problem before.
In VLC: no image, no sound, time shows 00:00 but time bar moves.
So I checked out afreecodecvt, which checks your codec sets against the required ones for the vid. It says "this isn't an avi" and no more.
So I checked it out in GSpot, which says that this is:
MPEG-4 / MPEG Elementary Video
NVOP (PB), PVOP, BVOP
Userdata: DivX999b000p, XviD0038
and then can't work out what kind of file it is. But it's clearly really a video file; GSpot can tell me that it's 23.980 fps and that it's 624x352 and whatever all -- it just can't figure out what codec is used and is utterly baffled by the format.
But I thought that this might be another case of that bug in one of the xvid encoders, which marks some things as packed bitstream even though they're not, and thus confuses many the file. So I tried to open the file in the mpeg modifier, which will let you change the packed bitstream marker to a normal bitstream marker, except it won't open this file -- mpeg modifier also spits this out, rejecting it as an avi container.
Thoughts?
