TMPGEnc wont code video in win 2000 and xp

[MTMAN]

I have a problem with tmpgenc in 2000 and xp. the program works fine loads and all but when I convert an avi to mpeg the preview does not show video and the program only converts the audio I get a black screen for the video. I have a friend who has win98 works fine. Dows TMPGEnc support win2000 or winxp and if so what Am I missing. Thanks

sounds like you are missing a codec for that avi file...and also Ive been told TMPG doesnt handle avis well in general..

I have been using all the versions of TMPEng under with windows 2000 and windows xp, (duel boot system) and have had no problems, try reinstalling the lastest codec`s

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION, BUT ONE QUESTION. WHERE DO I GET THE UPGRADED CODECS? LOOKED ALL OVER THE MICROSOFT PAGE AND COULD FIND NOTHING. AGAIN THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

thanks for the help..... I had used a intel indeo codec to encode the original *.avi and I guess the tmpgenc wont read or play that codec. switched to the windows video 1 codec and it worked fine. every one got me on the right track thanks. does any one know how to make tmpgenc work with files encoded with indeo???
