I used TMPGEnc to convert an AVI movie to MPG and that is what I get a few seconds into the encoding. WHen I press ok, the encoding continues and it pop ups again after a few more frames have been encoded... does anyone know what it is about?

and also, I converted another movie a few days ago and it worked fine. So it must be something about the actual AVI movie.

in tmpgenc, goto options...environmental settings...vfapi... look for directshow, right click on it, chick higher priority... do this twice so its +1. After doing this, encode your avi. You should no longer have that error message.

thanks a lot, it works fine now.

Another thing.. after I converted it, the quality of the picture decreases a lot, that has happened with all my movies... the AVI file has perfect image quality, dvd-like, but the .mpg file is a little bit blurry... a small difference but very noticeable on screen... is there something I can change in the program to make it better or is there a different program that I could use that has a better image quality?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

there's not that much you can do about that.. Any time you do any type of conversion, you lose quality. you could try noise reduction, but it will increase your encode time.

well i guess ur right... I used PANASONIC MPEG1 Encoder and TMPGEnc and I encoded the same movie, and i found that the image quality in Panasonic is slightly better than TMPGEnc... does anyone else agree with this?

and what does the majority of you use to convert an AVI movie/file to mpg? (for the better image quality)

Thanks
