encode freezes with TMPGEnc plus 2.5

[cchriss]

I am encoding a file with TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 and the file freezes during encoding.
The file is a mepg 2 file and the reason I am recoding the file is because the file will not burn with nero.
I have a mepg 2 file that plays fine on the computer but when I try to burn with nero it craps out.
There is a bad sector or something in the file that causes it to crap out.
When I try to encode it with TMPGEnc plus 2.5 it freezes shortly after starting. I assume that this is where the bad sector is. How do I get around this?

Use the Source Range function to start encoding past the corrupted spot to the end.

If I understand this corrrectly I delete all of the file before the currupted spot?
The corrupted spot is in the front middle and will render the file incomplete.
I have used DIVfix to reindex avi files.
Is there anything like that for mpeg 2 files?

Use the Merge & Cut function in TMPGEnc Plus. You can edit and join any part of the original video.

When I cut out the selected range (the currupt frames) the file will not encode past the starting point of the cut.
Still determined to get it done.
Thanks for your help.

With Merge & Cut, you are not cutting anything. You are using only the parts you want to keep.
