TMPGENC keeps freezing on me!!!!!

[pskim]

Hi all. I hope that some of you may know my problem and maybe help me solve this.

I have been using tmpgenc before without any problem. But a few days ago when I was trying to encode some movies to vcd, it started to just freeze on me. I had also installed a game called The longest Journey. Since then, it started to freeze. I have tried everything that I can think of. I have tried to reinstall the codecs, deleted any softwares (including the game) that might have been causing the freezing but all have failed. So I reformatted my drive and reinstalled my windows xp pro, TWICE, but it is still freezing in the middle of encoding.

I just can't seem to find the problem. And yes, I did search the forum on the same topic but couldn't find the solution. Please help. Thanks.

Try here: https://www.videohelp.com/tmpgenc.htm and scroll to the bottom and common TMPGEnc problems.

Also, if you're converting from Avi's, did you scan and remove any bad frames?

I figured out why my computer was freezing while encoding. The problem was the newest version of tmpgenc. I reinstalled the previous version and it's working fine now. Did anyone else have the same problem with the newest version?
