I just replaced my sound card with a game theatre XP. It works great, except now TMPgenc wont read mpeg files.

I had to go to the VFAPI tab and disable DirectShow in order to be able to encode AVIs. Unfortunately I have a bunch of mpeg 1 footage that needs to become mpeg2 footage for a DVD-R. Tmpegenc wont read them any more because something is wrong with directshow. I reinstalled DirectX 8, etc. No go. Is there an alternate mpg1 plugin for tmpegenc or is there another mpeg2 encoder that works well and is free? This is Win2k. All help appreciated.
