Funny enough I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm just working on it at the moment but if you find a solution then can you post the answer!!

Run the file through a divx repair/fix utility before encoding to remove any bad frames. TMPGenc will crash when it encounters them.

Make sure your direct show multimedia filter is at a high priority , Check HERE if you don't know how to do it.
Check your files for badframes using virtualdub mp3 freeze .
Demux the audio and save as an uncompressed wav with virtual dub , and use the wav as your audio source in TMPGenc.

Alternatively extract the audio convert to ac3 if it isn't already (using ffmpeggui ) then convert just the video and bring the ac3 audio back in during authoring.
THIS GUIDE will show you the steps.

If you use ac3 it is a much smaller file size with the same quality and gives more room on the disc for video ( so better quality )

Hope this helps.
