TMPGenc stopped recognizing DV files

[Zeke968]

For some reason TMPGenc stopped recognizing AVI DV files. When I try to convert a file it says "file not recognized or is unsupported". I've used it for 6 months without any problems and I've tried re-installing it several times. It still works fine with d2v files - any suggestions?

Use GSpot from the TOOLS section to the left. It should tell you what type of AVI it is. It's probably just a codec thing.

I manage to get TMPGenc to recognize type 1 DV avi files. I believe that it is by setting the priority setting in TMPGEnc for directshow at a higher setting, for example, +4, you increase the chances of compatibility with type 1 DV files. The exact instructions to do this are the following:

In TMPGEnc, select:
Option >Environmental setting > VFAPI plug-in > Right click the "DirectShow Multi Media File Reader" > select higher priority, do this several times until its at the top with a value of 4.

Changing the priorities in Direct Show fixed the problem - thanks!
