TMPGEnc 2.58 Plus + MPEG2 + PowerDVD4 BEWARE!!!

[Fozzee]

Hi
My TMPGEnc 2.58 plus will not open mpeg2 files. It is not a trial limit issue as I have the registered version.
I tried TMPGEnc 2.57 plus too and had the same issue. It just says the file is unsupported.
I have PowerDVD4 installed.
And some of the Nimo Codec Pack.
This has happened since a fresh install of XP Pro. And Service Pack1.
I'm not sure if this was happening after I installed SP1 on my last install.


Any ideas any help appreciated.

Download a mpeg-2 codec for TMPGEnc.

But it worked before and it is showing as using the powerDVD mpg2 codec in the enviromental settings.
Just not working now??
Why should I need to download an mpg2 codec when PowerDVD installs one????

Actually this seems to have happened since i changed my PowerDVD update file to a more recent one.

Hi
This is confirmed!!!!
I previously was using the "Isales.13296_Patch(enu).exe" to update my PowerDVD4. TMPGEnc uses the mpeg2 codec in its SVCD settings.

I recently changed to the newer update "Patch1811.exe" This does not work with TMPGEnc. If u try try to open an mpeg2 file after using this update you get the "unsupported file" error message.

BEWARE

What is the fix for this?

Hi
I'm not sure.
Luckily I still had the old patch on an old CD.
So I uninstalled PowerDVD and reinstalled using the older patch.
Everything worked fine b4 anyway so I am happy going back.
It's 4.5mb if anyone wants it give me a shout.
