TMPGE Error

[brutledge]

Hello,
My problem is sometimes (50% of the time) when I attempt to convert some .avi file to .mpg format, I receive an error message within 3 second after the TMPGE starts encoding the file. The error pops up without any explanation as to the nature of the error only an appearently random 12 - 15 digit number.

I have GSpot2, and it tells me that I have all the encoders that are needed to view and hear the file.

This also occurs sometime when I attemp to split an .mpg file.

It is driving me MAD, MAD, MAD. I would prefer not to keep trashing these file that I can view on my computer but cannot put on CDs.

please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

And your Direct Show priority is set at 2 or higher?

What do you mean priority 2 or higher, and what does that do?

Ok, I figured out where the priority setting were and changed them to 2. TMPGE still gives me an error as described above. The particular movie I tried was DivX4.

My Setting are now as follows:
AVI2=3
BMP/PPM/TGA/JPG=3
MPEG-1=3
MPEG-2=1
AVI VFW=0
DirectShow=0
Wave=0

HELP!!
