I have researched many posts and I decide to add mine hoping someone will give me more ideas.

I have tmpgenc plus about two months. I tried every different set-up and program runs fine. Then after I installed dvdshrink, and windv; tmpgenc runs ok for all template as long as it is not with 2 pass vbr. After try this and that to fix the problem, now it runs on 2 pass vbr but at the end, instead receive a low ring tone to inform me the encode is finished, the program just stood there. No ring tone, nothing.

Any thing suggestions is greatly appreciated. My pc: 2.6 gh, 2.0 gb ram, 240 gb hdd sata, win xp home edition, ati 9600 xt, and I have about 120 gb left on c drive.
