[tazwoh2002]

before i formatted my pc i never had a problem,i use Virtualdub to split an avi into 2 files eg sound and video and then, used to use TMPGEnc to create a vcd(mpeg) by bringing them back together, when it encodes i could watch each frame encode,,,,NOW for some unknown reason to me when i use tmpgenc and load up the sound file/video file and start to encode the film,theres no film showing in the preview area,,,i am totally at a loss with it,whats gone wrong

please please please put me right on this matter

If you get an error message when opening like file unsupported or can not open or is not supported
or you get an empty(black) video preview window
or the video look wierd in the video preview window like green or purple or pink
Try first to change the directshow codec reader priority settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 or to the top of plugin-list and try open the video.
