Tmpgenc

[loopyloops]

When converting .avi to mpeg2 with Tmpgenc, should I choose ES (video & audio) or System (video & audio)? I realize it's not the best for audio, but I want to use it, so which should I pick, and what's the difference? Thanks!

Either should work. The ES is for elementary streams and the SYSTEM is for one merged(audio and video) file.

Thanks! I had the thing running for like 5 hours - it was analyzing (first pass?) - and then at 50% I got an error saying something like it couldn't open source file c:/documents and settings, etc. What's that?

Also, I've never had this problem when I wasn't using the long 2 pass method....

What could be the problem?

Have enough hard disk space? Try system - unless you use DVD-Lab, most authoring programs use audio+video system streams.

I have plenty of hard disk space...Why would it say it can't open the source file - never had this problem w/o using 2-pass?

I tested it again, and the error happens exactly half way through. This time it was an explorer error. Even viewer says application error.

Not sure if the links work, but the first error says:

File "c:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Video Capture\capture.avi" can not open, or unsupported



Thoughts?

Try raising your directshow priority, 2nd link below.

Should have mentioned it, but I tried that - put it at the top. No difference.

I had same message error with TEMPEng one year ago.

My problem was not TEMPEng but my harware configuration :

I used 3 disk.
1 for XP, 2 for AVI/DV files and 3 for final mpeg files.

During first pass TEMPEng used my disk 1 and 2,
and after 4 or 5 hours my disk 3 was stopped
when TEMPEng tried to write final mpeg files.

So verify that your disk is nerver stopped !

Best

Could also be a problem with file names/paths with spaces and other nasty stuff in it. The ghost of the 8.3 naming convension is still haunting us at times...

Thanks folks, but it's something else. I have 4 disks, but I use my raid-0 for video.

What's the "8.3 naming convension"?

Also, I have no problem if I use CBR.

Can you see the links I posted? The collective you....

[mats.hogberg]

What if you place the AVI in a nicely named folder like "c:\avi\"?

/Mats
PS!

What's the "8.3 naming convension"?

That file and folder names should consist of 1 to 8 characters 0-9, a-z, A-Z, folowed by a dot, followed by 0 to 3 characters 0-9, a-z, A-Z
Some apps still gets confused by spaces in paths (even Windows itself, if you forget the quotation marks...).

More thoughts?

Also, doesn't seem to be a problem on version 3.
