Trev,
Thanks so much for your help.
I'll try Virtual Dub when I get home and if I need more assistance, I'll
contact you privately.

Hi Craig,

Well I also play about with film files and convert them as well.

I have also experienced what you are talking about, especially the files
being blocky or green!!

First you want to try and convert these files with Virtual Dub.  You may
need to convert the sound and the video into two files, and then use TMPGE
to put them back together and make an MPG.

I have also managed to find another good program for getting video files,
from odd ones I have downloaded, it is called RAD video tools.

RAD will often not copy the audio, but I use Virtual Dub for the audio, and
again TMPGE to put them back together and make an MPG.

Make sure you have the latest codex files installed too.

If I can help more, let me know.  There can be a few settings to play about
with in Virtual Dub to get things right.

Hi guys,
I've downloaded a few large AVI and MPG files recently and when I play about
50% of them, they either appear inverted (upside-down), very blocky or, the
most common is a green fog-like thing blocking the picture and distorting
it.
I am using Media Player to play the files.  I have also tried a DIVX player
among others.  The files haven't been encoded yet however, when I encode
them, they still look the same, if not, worse.  I use TMPGEncoeder.
I have the 'AngelPotion', 'Nimo' and 'DIVX ;-)' codec packs installed among
other lesser known ones.
Lastly, when I encode some of the files, the picture appears fine however
there is no sound.

Do any of you know why the files are doing this?

Thanks
