TMPGEnc can't adjust sorce range?

[GReddySetGO]

OK, I've been using TMPGEnc for over a year now with no probs, but recently, I can't adjust the sorce range anymore? Like the first half of the movie is ok, but everytime, when I move the slider to somewhere in the second half of the movie, TMPGEnc closes. Any ideas why? This is really frustrating. Does anyone know any similar programs like TMPGEnc that does the same thing? Thanks.

The same movie, or any movie?

[GReddySetGO]

Any movie, and recently I got some kind of dvd2avi.vpf error?

[mats.hogberg]

Yes, my incarnation of TMPGEnc crashes too, if I move the slider so select source range - just like VirtualDub does on occation. The cure is not to use the slider(s) - move around by entering time in the text fields instead.

Mine used to never crash when I moved the sliders, up until recently. I tried not using the sliders and just entering the numbers before, it will start encoding, but once it gets to a certain part in the second half, it will get an error or crash and stop. I can't encode the second half of my movies!

Have you tried as Mats suggested...
Instead of sliding ther bar,enter the time manually in the field box?
Have you uninstalled then reinstalled TMPGEnc ?
Do you have any progs running in the background?

Have you tried as Mats suggested...

Yes, it will freeze and/or get some error while encoding and shut the program down or freeze it.

Have you uninstalled then reinstalled TMPGEnc ?
Yes, I've tried that too, even tried diffrent versions of the program.

Do you have any progs running in the background?
I've tried it w/o running anything else also

The VFAPI settings. Also, how much RAM do you have on board?

BMP/PPM/TGA/JPG File Reader - - 0
CyberLink MPEG-2 Decoder - - 0
Microsoft MPEG-1 Decoder - - 0
Wave File Reader - - 0
DVD2AVI Project File Reader 1.77.3 - DVD2AVI.vfp - 0

Try moving the Direct Show to 2 and the AVI VFW to 0, and see what happens.

[GReddySetGO]

same thing Grrr, can anyone just recommend another program that does the same thing as TMPGEnc?

[GReddySetGO]

I heard I should try using DVD2AVI 1.76, does anyone have this older version or know where I can get it?

[Tommyknocker]

Do not know about DVD2AVI, but I do know Video Studio can convert to AVI, SVCD, VCD, and DVD files.
