I was getting a nasty read error pretty consistantly with many files on XP with my Asus A7V266 motherboard system. Even after re-installing XP and Win2K, tmpgenc would get about 1/3 through the file via frame serving with Avisynth from Premier and then error out. Disabling Norton gave a slight improvement. But what finally made it stable was upgrading the BIOs to version 1011.
Email me for details.

When Ever I try to Incode a DivX File to Mpeg it sometimes incodes it without audio. Why is this? What can I do to Fix it so that I can encode without Probems?
It is Because the audio format in your Divx file isn"t being decoded by Tmpgenc, the audio is Probably AC3 or MP3 VBR , you need to extract the audio to a Wav file with something like Virtual dub or AVI-Mux and use the Wav file as the audio source..
It isn"t the audio Bitrate But the audio Format..If you are useing AC3 audio you will have to decompress it to WAV audio and use the wav file as the audio source....
When I try to edit any mpeg-2 file, the merge and cut preview window is blank. All I get is a black window. Scrubbing through it does nothing. I can play these files in WinDVD 4.0, and if I hit play in the preview it does play the sound. How can I get it to display the video so I can edit out the commercials? These are files I've capped using my Radeon All-In-Wonder card. I can use TMPGEnc to edit them on the capping machine, that works, but on my laptop, I get the blank screen. The other, possibly related symptom is that while I can play DVDs in WinDVD, if I install Interactual player, I get the same black video with audio. Any ideas?
You have to have a Mpeg2 decoder installed on your Computer or Tmpgenc can"t decode the file to show you the image so you can edit it..You need either the "Cyberlink Mpeg2 decoder" or the "Ligos mpeg2 decoder" installed on your system, if you install Power DVD then you should have the Correct decoder...
I just downloaded Power DVD XP Deluxe 4.0 but it still don't work. Please can you give me a website there i can find they other mpeg2 decods you recommend

The first time I used TMPGenc it worked and I cut the first part of the mpeg2 file. Second time nothing worked.
Sometimes the Decoders Don"t register with Tmpgenc properly, the Other one that you can use Comes with the Nemo or Tsunami Codec Packs which is the "Ligos" mpeg2 decoder..It is easier to Encode Mpeg2 files with Tmpgenc if you use DVD2AVI to demux the audio and frameserve the Video to Tmpgenc ,It is Quicker and you don"t encode the audio cuz it is allready in Mpeg format...
Minion Said "Sometimes the Decoders Don"t register with Tmpgenc properly"
I did not realize that the Decoders have to register with Tmpgenc to work. Are you sure about that, or do you mean "register with Windows".
I doubt very seriously that PowerDVD (or any other major codec) looks for Tmpgenc, and goes though a registration process with Tmpgenc.
Finally, this problem sounds a lot like some of the other "file unsupported" problems reported.
I know of four Tmpgenc users that can no longer open MPEG2 files that where generated with Tmpgenc. Somewhere on Tmpgenc's web site (or the pay for site) it claims to guarentee the Tmpgenc can read its own generated files.
Also, this problem seems to be something new that has popped up. I suspect a Microsoft update has something to do with it.
I also want to thank you for suggesting DVD2AVI. While it is not convienient, it is a workaround.
I'm trying to open avi captured with premier 6.0 from a DV camcorder and comvert it to MPEG. I've installed the Divx and Nemo codecs and the clip will appear in the window but when I try to start it I get a "can't load P3 package Dll." I've tried to increase the direct show priority (I saw this in the FAQ but same message. CAn someone help with what I'm doing wrong. Thanks GEne
You get this error Cuz you Don"t have all of the Tmpgenc Files in the same folder...All of the Files that Come with Tmpgenc have to Be in a folder and they have to be in the same folder and one of those files has to be the "P3P Package.dll"....
When I try to translante into MPEG-1 a file coming from a capture with Microsoft AMCap (version 8.10); I have as a result an encoded file where the sound is ok but the video is playing two times faster than the source.
If i load first the file coming from AMCap with VirtualDub and save it in RGB non compressed, I can have a good result with TMPG Enc.
Is a direst solution with TMPG Enc existing ?
Other question: Is it possible to use TMPG via command line options ?
If yes what are the switches?
You should be able to encode WMV to mpeg But you should try raiseing the "Direct show file Reader" in the "Vfapi Plugins" ,Go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "Direct show" to "2" ..then hopefully the WMV file will Load into tmpgenc, But you will need to Use something else to encode the audio Cuz Tmpgenc can"t handle WMV audio very well..
im new at using tmpg, and rite now im tryin to convert somethin to mpeg so i can watch it on my dvd. When i open the file it says cannot be open or unsupported. what am i suppoe to do?
darkhoodedknight: you need to be more specific if you want decent help. What format is the "something" you are trying to convert? Is it this file that TMPGEnc says is not supported, or have you successfully converted it to an MPEG which can then not be opened on your system?
I may be getting old, but it's easier to read requests in English rather than "SMS shorthand"... ;-)
Hey, Can um help me? Im having trouble converting avi to mpg! Every time i convert the sound goes out of sync!! Ive changed the audio gap but that doesnt help!! It stays in sync for the first 5mins then goes outa sync again! Ive checked the files that im converting from and they are in perfect sync the whole way through! So the only conclusion i can come to is that TMPGEnc is causeing the problems! Can some1 help me to fix this please???
chears
Well the Problem could be that there is a Glitch in the avi file at a certain Point that is causeing it to go out of sync..Or , what is common with some files is that the avi file wil actually Play at a slightly slower of faster speed that the reported Frame rate while in AVI format but once encoded to an exact frame rate the audio becomes a Different length causeing it to go out of sync, this is a Problem with the avi file, what you can try is if the audio is out of sync then that means that the audio is Probably a different length than the Mpeg video so you might need to Stretch or shrink the audio to the exact length of the video with an audio editing program like "Sound Forge" or "Cool Edit" but this can be quite tricky...
I had the same problem with my AVI-files in Adobe Premiere. The solution was to export sound in a .wav, to shrink it with Cool Edit and afterwards to replace the original sound by the shinked .wav. Then I converted it with my VideoServer-pluging and Tmpgenc. The result was perfect.
I also have had this problem, you go on about cool edit, but how do you know how much shrink the audio file, is there some web site with a tutorial that shows you how to do this.
