What do you do when your video contains an invalid video stream?

I’m trying to use DivX Video Convertor but my video contains an invalid video stream, but I’ve made other videos from the same clips and with the same system but they’re fine. What’s up and what can I do , if anything, to fix it?

I ran across the same message using the converter. I think it happens when you try to convert a file with a codec that DivX does not recognize. The video I tried to covert had an Intel codec that DivX refused to see.
There could be many different ways but I only know two:
Rerender the clip using a different, more recognizable codec
or
slap the unrecognized clip into something like windows movie maker or pinnacle studio and render out an .avi or some well known file type.
These methods have worked for me from personal experience, might not work on yours.
