Tmpgenc keeps freezing...

[TheDJ®]

Hi,

I have checked the whole forum for my problem and have checked my xvid for bad frames, ect ect...no bad frames reported.

Tmpgenc just will not convert this xvid to dvd, i dont know wot else to do. If gets to around 20 minutes before the end of the movie, and just freezes.

I have also checked on enviromental settings on tmpgenc, tried wot the forum suggested, no joy there either.

Please can someone help me here.

thx

Which version?, there was a version (I think 2.511??) that would freeze all the time. Try a newer version (earlier version will also help) as there was only one version in past few months that constantly froze.

have you tried to frame serve

Been ther myself

Did you scan 4 bad frames with vdub-mp3-freze not std (vdub) ?
Is the audio in wav format ?
and you say you altered the enviromental settings (like this ? https://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/119019.php)

Well if you did all the above all I can suggest is to uninstall/reinstall Tmpgenc (delete everything in the Tmpgenc folder if any thing is left behind)

If Vdub can read the file with no problems ,
then Frameserve it to TMPGenc through Vdub. This prevents
TMPGenc from having to decode the video itself.

BTW I'm using v 2.511.51.160 working fine

You could try to encode just the bit where it freezes to see what happens.

Hi all,
I have had problems encoding YUV .avi files with TMPGEnc; I usually frameserve with AVISynth. Including a call to ConvertToRGB24 once I'm done stitching things together with AVISynth script has greatly improved the stability of my encodes. It has something to do with Windoze VFAPI's conversion of YUV to RGB, which is what TMPGEnc expects its input to be in. Using AVISynth instead of VFAPI to do the conversion solves this problem. BTW, I am using TMPGEnc 2.57.

I changed to an older version and it converted perfectly on 1st try.

Try the next version when it comes out (but keep a copy of your working version just in case you need to revert back)
