Chris,

Can you tell me what version of the Xvid codecs you are using? When I use an old outdated version (circa May 2002) everything works okay but if I use the latest build (1.0.2) I get a wierd error message from both the M2PMCEncoderZX application and the Windows 9 Media Encoder application. The error code I get is C00D002F. Moving a couple of generations back to 1.0.1 or 1.0.0, I get the same error.

I've isolated it to the codecs but I really don't like using such an old set of codecs since I figure newer ones will give me better performance and results...


Thanks,


Jim

I only use ffdshow. On this machine now I'm running the Oct 3, 2004 build.

How can I create an HD WMV (720 p or 2080i) from a software like after fx (or similar). I can work in that resolution but i don't understand the options in render. How can i do it. Do i need to install a MS SDK before o similar. Obviously i've got MP 10 Thanks...

Hiya

Yeah I've got my new Samsung YH-999, and its very nice ;)
I'd recommend the Album Art Fixer (http://www.avsoft.nl/ArtFixer/default.htm) for your music.

Also, I have the same C00D002F error when trying to convert my XViD files... which is distrubing, since quite a lot of my movies are in that format. Possibly a WMP10 patch soon?

0xC00D002F is "Invalid or corrupt data was encountered", IIRC. It most likely is going to relate to whatever decoder(s) you have installed. For transcoding with WMP I would suggest having ffdshow and nothing else on your system that will decode XviD content.

Marcello: I'm really not sure, I have not looked at it at all. The first thing you would need is to make a profile with the correct resolution, bit-rate, etc. That can be done in the Windows Media Encoder Profile Editor.

why would anyone want to transcode stuff to wmv? not only does the quality degrade with every transcode step, you'll also lock yourself in to a more restrictive format. xvid runs on anything, thats why "quite a lot of movies are in that format" (@blackice), while wmv only runs on windows based devices and devices from companies that pay a lot of money to MS for licenses.
wmv is not the future. if it was, it wouldve been a lot bigger by now. the only ones that see any good in it are companies that want decent DRM or people that dont see any trouble in locking themselves to one company's software.

you answered your question, Mephisto. Why would I convert to WMV? Umm? SO I can play them on the device! It's not like I deleted my other copies. Also, one can say the exact same thing about XviD as can about WMV. If XviD was *really* going to take off, it would have by now. ;)

I was using Windows Media Encoder to convert the file so my PDA could play it.

I had the same error code 0xC00D002F.

I was using Xvid. I changed over to divX and found the conversion worked fine :)

Hey,
Just want to confirm that changing to divX got rid of the error C00D002F for me to!

Thanx Guys
