just when you think you've got the hang of this something goes wrong

i have 2 files which say they are movie file (mpeg) but cannot open them with tmpeg or vdub i get an unsupported message
i am useing tmpeg plus with mpeg 2 plugin and quicktime plugin i have divx and xvid codec and they play perfectly on media player
i have ran a check on avicodec and had these results which i asume mean they are supported so why wont they open

Hmmm, mpeg-2 video (SVCD compliant too by the looks of it.

What version of Tmpgenc are you using, the newer ones don't use the mpeg plugin for mpeg-2 but require one of 3 (or 4) certain mpeg-2 codecs be installed for it to open them. I remember the one that comes with PowerDVD is one, check the TmpGenc site for the others.
