TMPGEnc freezes......

[Skull Leader]

TMPGEnc freezes when I press the browse button to bring my file to start encoding, I have used TMPGEnc for several other projects, but after I made my very first vcd using virtual dub, and vcdeasy, it seems that everytime I need to bring a file in to encode, it freezes when I hit the browse button.
I hope someone can help me......

Is your file in XVID format? If so, you need to change some environmental settings, coz it will freeze everytime if you don't change it.
do a search in the forum, and type in tmpgenc freeze xvid, you'll find the setting recommendations. hope this helps. I know this is very frustrating..

If you get an error message when opening like file unsupported or can not open or is not supported
or you get an empty(black) video preview window
or the video look wierd in the video preview window like green or purple or pink
Try first to change the codec reader settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 and try open the video.
If that does not help be sure that you have installed DivX or XviD or MPG2 or DV Codecs and also try with the Nimo Codec Pack.

Hope That Helps!!! :P

If TMPGEnc freezes or crashes when converting or you receive errors such as
Unexpected decimal point calculation
Illegal floating decimal point calculation order
Try first to change the codec reader settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 and try open the video.
Or try to convert the audio to wav before converting(If you have problems extracting the audio using Virtualdub try use Goldwave or AVI2WAV).
Or try to repair the AVI,DivX or the ASF.
Or try to use avidefreezer to fix your video source.

Hope That Helps!!! :P
