I have the public domain version 2.57 of TMPGenc installed on 2 very similar machines. On the machine that has my video capture card (Xtasy Everything) TMPGenc will open both my VCD and 1/4 DVD recordings (recorded from WinDVR). On the other machine it will open only the VCD recordings. I have MPEG decoders on both machines as well as ASPI and VCDEasy to record the video. I wanted to be able to encode on one machine, so the other was still free to record.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem with the machine that does not open the 1/4 DVD files. I have only used 4 days of the trial period for MPEG2, so that should not be an issue.

Another problem I have is that the VCD recordings usually split and produce 2 files (from the WinDVR). TMPGenc will not open the second file, so I cannot merge or manipulate them at all.
