Have just joined and need help with Tmpgenc (not another one). My PC is running XP Pro service pack 1, AMD XP2400+, 2.02 GHz, 1.50 GB Ram. For the last few months I have been using Tmpgenc 2.510 (free & plus), to encode ripped DVD's to Mpeg1 for playing on my Pocket PC. It as been working well. However over the last couple of weeks I have started having all the problems that others have mentioned, system crashing, system freezing and in some cases the OS getting trashed (thank goodness for Norton Ghost). The PC is running nice and cool, I have tried all the fixes I could find on this site including version 2.56 of Tmpgenc. All to no avail, does anybody have a clue as to what the problem might be?
