divx to mpeg "illegal floating decimal point" at 69%

[HraMxPx]

I started converting a movie and at 69% (about 15 hours into it) i got an illegal floating decimal point and it stopped. is there anyway to skip right to 69% and start from there? if I have to start over I'll do it but im afraid I will get the same error. anyway to fix my file? I NEED HELP PLEASE THIS IS URGENT! thanks!

happens to me also. Is your source a DivX? If so, what version of the codecs you have?

[HraMxPx]

yes my source is a divx and i'm running 3.11 alpha. anything i can do to fix my file?

[Grativity]

Yes, it is called source range in Tmpeg, just take the last frame you were on, add one and resume the encoding with the same paramaters. Then Join the two mpeg files.

thank you so much! 1 more quick question. how do i do this source range stuff and is there anyway to find out what frame i was on? i have no idea. i have the file still that it quit on 69%. luckily it fits perfectly on a cd i just want the rest of the 31% of the movie so i can put it on another disc. thanks!

After spending hours searching forums to find an answer to my first problem with TMPGenc ( XXXX.AVI cannot open or unsuported) I came across this forum and was well chuffed to find an answer.
All was working fine (the encoding) untill 38% when I too got the "Illegal floating decimal point" error.
Can anyone please give me detailed instructions on how to sort it out or continue the encoding as I only downloaded TMPGenc 2 days ago and have very little knowledge of it.

Thanks in advance.

heres a tip :- stop using div-x!! god knows why people still do...thier 'fast-mo- just produces crap..anyway its a hack of the m2 mpeg4 v3 anyway..and the official div-x hasnt done me any favours at all...JUST USE MS MP4 V2 ive stuck to it for ages and no real complaints so far

HraMxPx: Here's what I did. Look in the upper right hand corner of TMPGEncode and look at the frame number that you get the error on. When you start the next MPEG set the starting source setting to a few frames after that.

Or alternatively, copy the new MPEG that TMPGEncode just made to another folder, this is because sometimes TMPGEncode deletes the file since it failed. Load that new MPEG into TMPGEncode and move to the end position. Use that as a reference and start the next part a few frames after that.

Im right there with bully and i need instructions on how to fix my file that stopped at 69% or just resume it (if possible).somone suggested doing something with a source range in tmpge so i looked and looked but could not find it so if anyone knows anything about that please let me know. thanks!

Hi,

Source Range is under Settings on the Advanced Tab, double-click and move the slider bar to the right, TMPGEnc will error out at the spot where the error is, take note of the time/frame. Be patient, it depends how large the error is, start by making your Start Frame the one you noted +1 and then press Move to End Frame.

If it errors out, make Start Frame +2 etc. until no errors.

Cheerz.
