No Video in TMPGENC

[Mark Warren]

I have tried to convert an AVI file to MPEG using tmpgenc but every few frames or so the video is lost so while i still have audio i have no video

I have successfully converted many avi's to mpegs but i have gone thru the conversion guides and had a check in the forums

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Need more info!

What is your source material, what audio and video codecs does it use, what fps is it. Will it play ok in WMP. What is your destination format, (S)VCD or DVD, what settings or templates do you use in TmpGenc?

Give us some or all of this and maybe someone can help.

Source is an xvid file.Destination is vcd.As regards codecs not to sure as i have sld codec pack installed.It plays in all media players i have including WMP, Power DVD ,Real PLayer,Winon VCD player etc..
Settings not to sure off because i just use the wizard to convert

With Xvids, I would always recomend using virtualdub to frameserve them to TmpGenc, there is a guide on doing this in the CONVERT section, see if that helps.

Bugster did as u suggested and went to virtualdub frameserver but it wont work with tmpgenc

Any other ways round this problem at all

Thx 4 the help

What do you mean it won't work. What error message did you get (if any). If you get 'cannot open or unsupported' try raising the priority of the direct show filter. Also, don't foget to install the vdub avi client frame handler first.
