Pinoy2201's TMPGEnc template problem...

[MatrixCode]

Ok, I've downloaded the Pinoy2201's template package and I've tried to encode with the SVCD (PAL) selection...so, when I tried to start the encode, it just showed blank (black) screen, and a few seconds audio played, and the player halted.. so, i repeated the encode again, and it happened the same thing...anyone can help? thanx

wat are u encodeing?? is it DivX and you are useing 5.0 becuase 5.0 has a crap anti piracy thing dat will black out anything it thinks its piracy so i think u should uninstall dat and install 4.12...hope dat helps a bit

Well, I think that would not be the problem , cause i'm using DivX 4.12, so do you have any other clue about this?

P.S. What do you think: Do DivX encodings have more quality than SVCD's ?

OK, I think that the template does not cause the problem, cause I've tried to load the clip with several video players, so here's what I got:

1. Zoom Player: no video ; audio played only 3 seconds, and the program blocked (I had to close it with End Task)

2. RadLight: same as Zoom Player

3. Windows Media Player: no video ; audio played, but the sound was veery crappy(sound delays, scratch noises and other irritating sounds accured)

4. CyberLink PowerDVD: video played, audio played, none problems accured, everything looks great

So i don;t know what this causes, but the other thing is that when playing other MPEG clips with WMP(only WMP), i get the same sound junk and every time WMP looks for internet connection (at the status line says: looking for codec or something..) so i guess that something's messed up with the sound filters or codecs or I don't know..so do you have any idea how to solve this or anyone else? thanx

P.S. for DVD ripping I'm using: SmartRipper, DVD2AVI, TMPGEnc(w/tooLame and SSRC), Graphedit, VFAPI codec, VirtualDub&VobSub...

Try to uninstall and reinstall your sound and video codecs dat might help
