TMPGenc black frames encoded in video

[KB Kustoms]

Hi there. I have been experiencing black (or blank) frames when using TMPGenc Plus v2.5 to encode a 30min uncompressed (but edited with Premier 6.02) DV AVI file to mpeg2 for DVD burn. I have encoded this footage twice and at the same frame, about 9mins into the video, I get nothing but black frames for the rest of the movie. There have been no errors reported during encode process and the program does not freeze or crash. I have on the otherhand, successfully encoded several shorter clips...no such problems with those.
Any suggestions???
THANKS!!!!!!

PS...I "thought" I was posting this to the DVD Authoring section...sorry!!!

I see no mention of this article in your post.

Thanks for the reply!!

Well, I have looked over that article, but, I am not having any apparent problems opening DV files with TMPGenc, nor previews. I used four different media players to view the encoded file and each played the video fine until that 9min mark.
Did I miss something??

Also just checked my DirectShow Multimedia File Reader settings and it has always been at priority 2.

So, you are saying the video itself is corrupted?

Thats correct. At the same place in both of the encoded files in question...black frames until the end.

OK......now I feel stupid.....just figured it out!!!

I was attempting to encode through a network.....my machine is a little hard drive challenged at the moment, so, I had stored the large DV file on my wifes larger hard drive, selected that file with TMPGenc, and chose the output to my machine...over the network. When you said "corrupted"....a "bell" went off in my head and I opened the original file (over the network) on my machine....guess what?....it stopped playing (strangely enough ) at the very same place as what I was getting with the encoded output!!!!
DUH!!!!!
After double checking the file on the host system, I started encoding with TMPGenc again, but, this time BOTH files are on the same machine!!! Gonna take a lot less time to encode and I would be willing to bet the output file will be just fine this time!!!

THANKS SO MUCH for the replies!!!
I feel extremely stupid now, but, your replies prompted me to find the real trouble...MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!
