...also make sure you've got the right codec installed for the DIVX file you're trying to convert. I used to do this stuff, and had no end of problems because folks used different codecs, and different versions of different codecs. You MAY need to search for and download a codec pack, various guys used to create them and they usually provide an installer to dump the files onto your hard drive.
I also found "HeadAc3he" a useful tool. It down mixed the audio part of the DIVX file IF it was AC3 encoded. Another thing that'll trip TMPGENc up. - Posted:

I've had TMPGenc crash out encoding some formats, or have other misc issues. Quite often what I do is re-encode the whole damn thing in either DivX or Indeo etc using virtualdub to remove any bugs in the file and put it in a TMPGenc-friendly format.
You'll need appropriate CODECs, of course. And with all re-encoding of lossy formats you'll lose a bit of quality - sometimes noticable sometimes not.
You'll find virtualdub and friends (for free) on sourceforge.net
