I can't be of too much help here but I had this problem too. When I reinstalled my OS and installed all the codecs again everything worked fine.

I think this is related to problems with having incorrect/conflicting codecs installed. I have no real proof of this though.

Well its not really a sollution but rather an assumption

I was having the exact same problem, so what i did to make sure i had every codec installed that it may need i just downloaded the nimo pack and then guess what

For some reason it worked, i font know what it was that got installed, but its worth a try

Always check the simple things .. where is the tmpeng temporary file ?? this can be up to 4GBS yes 4gbs or even larger. this will by defualt be put on your system disk. If your workfile gets too big for the available space you do get some shiity error msg like yours... why they couldnt just say "disk space exceeded" i dont know. Or it could be your codecs.. try playing the movie in win media player.

2) seperate the audio from the video b4 running it thru tmpgenc.

I have done what you are doing and it does work.. but there are so many different formats out there....also try setting the order of the directshow readers to a different order.

1) You can encode the whole thing then cut it when finished, it's much easier and you don't get sync issues on teh #2 encode this way.

2) I resolved that error by re-booting, un-installing TMPG, re-booting, deleting the original TMPG folder, then re-installing TMPG.

3) Do you have the correct Codec for the AVI? Just because it plays doesn't mean you have the codec to use it in TMPG. FFDShow can be persnickedy if you are using it to render the AVI, it has options that can mess up the encoding. Nimo Codec pack is evil, it breaks more than it fixes.

convert the video only in tmpgenc. take the audio and encode with dbpower amp (free) to mp2. simple multiplex audio and video in tmpgenc. cut file in tmpgenc after multiplex.

I have seen this problem with Xvid .avi files in Tmpgenc. I have noticed Tmpgenc likes Divx files better. I just drop the movie into Vdub and resave as Divx with the audio uncompressed. It makes a larger file size, but it is only temporary.

Gazorgan: i totally agree with you, it fixed that single problem but after trying to encode it and mess about with different settings there were so many different errors that came up, thank god for Windows XP system restore.

Win XP at least good for some things

The klite codec pack is a good one. My suggestion is this, open the film in vdub and save the audio as a wav file. The in the audio selection of vdub choose "no audio." In the video selection choose "direct stream copy." In the file selection choose "save as avi." Then save your film. You will now have three files, your original file, a wav file, and an avi file with no audio. Open TMPG and close the wizard. Load your template and settings manually. Then load the avi without the audio in the video selection, and the wav file in the audio selection. Now load whatever filters you are going to use and start encoding. If you want to frameserve with vdub load the avi without the audio and then in the audio selection choose "wav audio." Then navigate to your wav file and select it. In the options section make sure that "sync to audio" is checked. You can now start frameserving. Let us know if this works.

Just to make sure you are not alone. Within the last few hours i have received the same message, after using TMPGENC for over a month without any problems. It started after i tried to load a PAL DVD template. I have tried re-installing but no joy. Doesn't help your problem but your not alone.

Yes you can split the file in two. When you start frameserving from vdub just open the file created by vdub in TMPG. You can use the file as if the original avi was directly loaded into TMPG.

I'm getting an "Invalid Pointer Error" when trying to encode an xvid avi file in TMPGE. I've separated the audio using Vdub, but it's not allowing me to encode to mpg. Any help would be appreciated.
