TMGEnc help needed desparately

[tigerten]

I am starting to make some vcd/svcd out of my own DV camcorder (Canon ZR). I was following the instructions on the left pannel starting from capturing (Adobe Premier 6). I have successfully captured the video into some AVI clips. But I have problems converting it. I can not open it. I have tried everything suggested in this instruction including setting high priority, install krystal codec, i have even tried the older version of TMGEnc. I am stuck there and desparately need your guys help. Please!! Thanks!!

Tmpeg will not open AVI or are you trying to Frame Serve with AVISYNTH?

You have to capture avi to Type-2 DV file, otherwise tmpgenc can't convert these (my experience).
Have you checked DirectShow codec within tmpgenc? What DV codec did you install ?

[tigerten]

I have installed krystal and Divx codec

i can not recapture it again, coz the tape was wiped out. Can you please dirct me to the AVISYNth thing?

Often when you have an avi that TMPGenc doesn't like it will be able to read it if you frameserve with AVISynth:

might be a good place to start (although the site seems to be done now). Anyway, you can d/load the MMX optimized ver at:

There are a LOT of features in AVIsynth, but to just frameserve an avi the helpfile should be enough. Luck
