tmpgenc crash
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: sArA
I am trying to encode a movie from avi to mpeg2 using tmpgenc.
Normally no problem, but this particular movie won't open and seems to just crash the program.
The film will run fine on the comp.
ideas anyone?

try this in tmpgenc: go to options, then click environmental settings. then on the vfapi plugin tab right click 'directshow multimedia file reader' and choose higher priority. set the priority to 4 or something.

Yeah...done that, and tried uninstall, reboot, reinstall.
It is still crashing.
When I open it, it still shows the last film I encoded too.
I tried different films, seems I have a problem in general not just with the one film.
Using version 2.521

I usually use divfix first to see if the file has bad frames, it will get rid of them if it does.

The film I was interested in encoding just played all the way through using videolan.
This problem of crashing seems to be affecting other movie files too so I doubt if its a corrupt/missing file type problem.

It's best to check all video files before encoding anyway, it can save a lot of wasted time.
It only takes a 30 secs.

try setting it up like this
1) Open TMPGEnc and press Cancel if Wizard pops up
2) Go to Option->Environmental Setting...->VFAPI plug-in
3) Adjust the plug-in priorities (this is done by right clicking on
the plug-in and choosing Higher priority as many times as
necessary) to match the following:
DirectShow Multimedia File Reader.......3
AVI2(OpenDML) File Reader................1
AVI VFW compatibility Reader.............0
CyberLink MPEG-2 Decoder.................0
Microsoft MPEG-1 Decoder.................0
Wave File Reader..............................0
BMP/PPM/TGA/JPG File Reader...........-2
DVD2AVI Project File Reader 1.76+.....-2*
TMPGEnc Project File Reader 2.58......-2*
4) Press OK
5) Now you can load your XviD AVI into TMPGEnc just like any other
AVI and encode as you wish.
I would also suggest you separate(decompress) the audio from the video using virtual dub http://www.videohelp.com/virtualdubaudio.htm good luck hope this helps

You ain't by any chance using a crack?? allot of TMPNce cracks crash the program better to use serial however I think its a codec problem.
videolan isn't a good player too test if a file is ma****to reason is it will play any file flawless no matter how ma****to it is.
it sounds like a codec problem I'm pretty sure I had a similar probably one time an dI had to play around uninstalling codecs and finding the right ones for hours on end drove me crazy.
its not a good idea to install codec packs Ive found its better to install each individual codecs
I take it it crashes when you choose the movie in the browse wizard ?? or does it let you do all that then crash when its about to encode/?

Just as soon as I choose a movie....but only some movies. Encoded one yesterday no problem, but others just crash....seems like you might be on to something there Spider....
Could it be a divx codec problem.....? They seem to be the main culprits.

Sorry Ad....if you look at the time I posted, I was very stoned and tired at the time....lame excuse but the best I can offer....the ultimate Adism!!!! :lol: :lol:
I have the latest KL codec pack installed.
Posted by: Adster
to be honest I always had problem with the KL codec pack and frigging SP2 which I had to kill clashes with it!!!
well i have 4 individual codecs which play any movie flawless now.
ac3filter_0_70b
DivX52XP2K
ffdshow
XviD-1.0-RC3
now theres probably later versions of them out now.
now DIVix Pro is the codec I use. I recommend a unistall of KLF codec pack then install the DIVx pro and see if it crashes then... if it does crash then it may seem there is a problem with that video file. but you said it happens with all DIVx movies so I'm pretty sure it is a DIVX problem
