where would be a good place to store it

[Midiman]

Anyplace else.

I'm having the same problem. What do you mean by store it some place else? I dragged the video I wanted out of my documents onto my desktop and tried converting again but the same error comes up. How do I fix it?

Post a log... start your own thread. This one belongs to someone else.

[davi921]

When you say post a log, are you asking me to post a step by step method of how I convert the video?

[Zscheck]

i understand where to go and what it do (in a way), but when i go to browse and select something, no matter what it is, it starts off C:/Documents and Settings.... i cant find a file to store it in. if it helps i have a windows xp

[Midiman]

No. .

[davi921]

hmm so then if thats now how you do it then how do you do it?

[Zscheck]

No. .

what do you mean no?

[davi921]

This is wierd because it was working fine a few days ago...

That's EXACTLY why Davi921 needs to start his own thread. Now I have the original thread owner confused by a side conversation going on.

alright to start over....i go to settings then devices, and i click browse to select something that is not Documents and Settings, but no matter what i choose, it always starts out C:\Documents and Settings\.... i run on a windows xp, can you give me an example of a filename or path to type in to fix this

[Midiman]

This is kinda simple... create a couple of folders... like "Source Files" and "Converted Files"... on your C: drive. Store your video files in the Source folder... tell ViC to save it's files in the Converted folder (remember to click Save Device Settings after you do this...

thanks a lot for the help

[Midiman]

Did it work?

[Zscheck]

Did it work?

yeah, but now when i play it with itunes, it doesnt have sound and it keeps freezing up....this might be because i have alot goin on my computer right now, or is it another one of the common mistakes?

[Midiman]

Now I need to see a console log...

To generate a console log, please follow these steps.
1. Click on the "Console" tab and check the "Enable Console" box.
2. Start encoding the video that failed as you normally would.
3. Cancel the conversion after ~10 seconds by clicking the "Abort" button.
4. Go back to the "Console" tab
5. Copy the console log (highlight text, use CTL-C) up until the lines where it starts saying "frame=..."
6. Paste the text into a message here using CTL-V

[Zscheck]

I already got it fixed but thanks a lot for all the help

[Midiman]

Mind telling us how... so we can get others on the right path?
