Mpeg error ! ! !

[ax3]

while opening dat or mpeg file i get this error "mpeg import filter: pack synchronization error" ...

i use virtualdub ...

whot 2 do as i wanna convert dat files 2 divx ???

[slugger]

is d file actualy an *.mpg file or is it just a *.dat file whose ext is changed to *.mpg
in all lielyhood u r trying to feed an MPEG 2 file into VirtualDub. It only supports MPEG-1 u will have to use VirtualDubMod

VirtualDub doesnot support *.dat --> *.avi [DivX container in Virtualdub].
you will first have to convert d *.dat file into an actual *.mpg file using SW like

VCD Gear
http://www.vcdgear.com/
ps :- don't use VCD Cutter, ull face major AV synch issues
http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/
but u still will have 2 convert ur *.dat into *.mpg

if cant open then use virtualdubMod...it mostly opens all the files...
new version of VDUB is more carefull abt quality of input file..if bad frmaes found then it will stop loading the file from there.

so use vdub1.5.10 or vdubMod for that.

dat file is converted 2 mpg using VCD Gear as u suggested ... bt still no luck ... same error ...

[parthbarot]

u need to fix errors from it using some tool which scans video and fix errors and save it as a new file. like divfix does for avi files...
