TMPGenc error message ... help please!!!

[CaptainChaos]

Hi ....

I am trying to make up a live music compilation. All the files I am using are .mpgs, but some are PAL and some are NTSC. Will that make any difference when burning them with Nero?

Also, using TMPGenc, almost all of them are ok, apart from a couple that comes up with error message on trying to open the file "could not open or unsupported". I checked using AVIcodec which says "V Codec name = MPEG2 (SVCD/DVD) ..... A1 Codec name = MPEG-1 Audio layer 2 (0xc0)" ....

It's weird because Windows Media Player / DivX Player plays the files no problem .... just hiccups when I want to put it into TMPGenc to encode it ...

Any ideas at all are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Ian

Hi again .....

I downloaded an mpeg-2 codec which made no difference to trying to get tmpgenc to open the file (it still won't open) ....

I opened it using virtualdub (mpeg-2) and if I want to convert that to an avi, then back to mpg, it will take up more space as an avi than my hard drive has got space for!

Hellllllp lol

That's whay you frameserve, it feeds the video direct from one program to the other. Guide here.

You should be able to mix PAL and NTSC if you're making a DVD, you will need to add them as seperate tracks however.
