You're able to play the file fine, right? Confirm that the movie is really Xvid and not improperly labled as such. Open the movie with G-spot and make sure the 4cc is xvid. In TMPGEnc raise the priority of the "direct show multimedia file reader" to 2. You can find the option in Options>Environmental Settings>VFAPI Plugin. If that doesn't work, try frameserving with Virtualdub. Check the guides section for a how-to.

ok done that was dlicking on the number instead of file. ok set that to 2 tried it again it still not working,also the project wizard says the estimated file size is 9133.43 mb file but i only downloaded a 700mb. ive converted a few xvid files this is the first one ive had problems

[teegee420]

What do you mean it's not working? The project wizard wouldn't give you an estimated file size if it was unable to open the movie. Your xvid probably has variable bitrate mp3 audio or perhaps ac3 audio. G-spot will specify which. Either way you'll need to decompress the audio to PCM wav. Open your avi with Virtualdub, click ok if you get a VBR audio error, go to the audio menu and select "full processing mode", then go to file and select "save wav". Use the wav file as the audio source in TMPGEnc. If the avi has ac3 audio you will have to install the AC3 ACM Decompressor before using Virtualdub.

Don't bother with the wizard.

The filesize of the original hasn't got anything to do with the filesize of the final mpg.

What are you converting to ? VCD, DVD ?? Let us have the video & audio codecs of the original file, how long its playing time is and what you want to finish up with.

trying to convert dvd. ok well i tried another file this one is svcd. all it keeps sayin is u are are triying to create mpeg-2 file to do his u must have have the mpeg-2 software i have all the codecs i clicked continue this one seems to be working but the xvid doesnt

I was having many problems with Xvid and Tmpgenc, and with the help from vcdhelp, I am ALMOST acomplishing my task.
I have some Xvid movies, and at thirst atempt to convert them to DVD compliant Mpeg files(I want to burn directly to CDRS,because my DVD player accepts it), Tmpgenc didn´t accepted the files, Installing FFddshow was a solution,but, some of these Xvid played very weird(audio accelerated and error on player), I uninstalled FFddshow and the files played ok again and Tmpgenc keept on accepting Xvid files.
I have Vobsub instaled, and When I loaded the file, the subtitle was automatically loaded, it was great, because i wanted to make the film with subtittles inserted and with vobsub, I didn´t need to frameserv with Vdub(subtittle), but I saw that it only function with TMPGENC v2.57, with earlier versions it didn´t load the subtittle.

but some of the files did´t have sound, so i discovere they were AC3, so i installed the ACD decompressor and ok, appeared the audio, but, subtittle stop autoloading, even with TMPGenc 2.57.

Is there somehing I could do to make vobsub autoload the subtittles inside Tmpgenc???

Thanks...

What happens when you try to convert with TMPG? Do you get an error message?
