    Hi,

    I'm trying to encode a vob to wmv using WME 9. But when I begin conversion the encoder crashes with the following error:

    AppName: wmenc.exe AppVer: 9.0.0.2980 ModName: wmenceng.dll

    ModVer: 9.0.0.2980 Offset: 0008ab70

    Can anyone tell me the cause of this?

    Thanks

    I get the same on my system, I suspect it is an incompatibility between the MPEG decoder (Cyberlink in my case) and WME.

    I have managed to feed MPEG2 & VOB files to WME by frameserving using Avisynth, DGMPEGDec, and running my Avisynth script through the MakeAVIS utility that comes with ffdshow to make a dummy AVI that WME will accept.

    I created a Template.avs file for use with DGMPEGDec that contains the following lines:-

    loadplugin("C:\Program Files\DGMPEGDec\DGDecode.dll")
    video = mpeg2Source("__vid__")
    audio = DirectShowSource("__aud__")
    # combine them into a single clip
    AudioDub(video, audio)
    This will ensure that after you run the VOB through DGMPEGDec, it will automatically create an Avisynth script that will feed both the audio and video to WME.

    The only other option to frameserving would be to convert your file to an AVI, with a lossless codec such as Huffyuv or Lagarith, but that's going to take some time and disk space.

    Hope this helps.

    input.avs ==> WMNicEnc ==> output.wmv

    or

    input.avs ==> WMVmuxer ==> output.wmv

    No need for Windows Media Encoder.

    Yup!

    HDConvertToX is another if you want to avoid WME altogether.
