TMPGEnc freezes at 20% during multiplex, why?

[hiflyact]

I'm having a big problem with TMPGEnc. Everytime I try to multiplex a video using the MPEG tools, it'll get to 20% and then just stop and will not go any further. I can hear the hard drive working up until 20% and then it just stops and I have to use task manager to shut the program down. I tried re-installing the program, but that didn't work.

I'm running Windows 2000. I read somewhere that I might need to increase the virtual memory on my machine? It was set at the default values 768MB min and 1536MB max I think.

Any help on this would be appreciated, thanks.

are you sure the files you're multiplexing are in good shape? do you know where they came from and what standards they're encoded to?

If it's always at the same point it crashes it sounds like an error with the files themselves. Have you tried using any other muxing software? i believe bbmpeg is well regarded as a good multiplexer.

Problem has been solved. Apparently, there was a problem with one of my partitions, I defragged it and let Windows 2000 fix the errors and check it out. Before, I was getting weird errors such as not being able to copy a file from that drive to another, etc. After that everything works fine. If anyone else comes across an issue like this, that's how to fix it.
