TempvsMortis Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I have a lot of avi files, and so i wanted to convert them to VOB files and the like so i could put them on video-dvds. i downloaded avi-pro and avsvideotools and after trying to use them, i found that none of my avi files worked anymore! i uninstalled and deleted them, and tries a few things, but my avis still won't work. and it's not local to windows media. they won't play on any of my media players. i'm thinking that a dll or some essential file required to play that file type was corrupted or changed in some way. i'm not sure, so i don't know if reinstalling windows media would do anything.

TempvsMortis Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Also, sometimes my folders fail as well. I'm starting to think it's more than just something simple, although i don't think it's a virus. it appears that the folders will fail on occasion when they contain avi files.

JSKY Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Can you open the avi file properties and change the file type? (r-click on file, choose properties).Or try DVDdecypher. It allows you to change file types. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
screi Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 did you back up the avi files before you used avi-pro and avsvideotools..??have you read the avi-pro and avsvideotools faq's..??...did you back up your files before you tried to convert them.....you know.. you really should have backed up you files before you messed with them...

TempvsMortis Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) first off, i didn't back them up, and i didn't mess with them. i doubt the files themselves are the problems. it's something within the files required to PLAY them that is the problem. files i didn't even touch have acted wierd, and it's gone to other things. so, backing up seems unneccissary. second, i didn't REALIZE i'd be messinge with them! they were just simple file converters! i have no idea that his would happen! (Hah. i guess i'm a lazzy bastard. i don't have another drive to backup on anyway, so it's irrelivant.)second, changing the extention doesn't work. it just causes problems whenever i even open the folder with that file in it. also, i keep getting a message from Data Execution Prevention saying "To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program." now, i'm not sure if that is neccissarily the problem. but still.

TempvsMortis Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I fixed it, heh. i just downloaded ffdshow. it's a data codec. i tried XviD before, but it didn't help at all. ffdshow acts as a codec for every type, so it performs the functions of all codecs. good program.
