TMPGEnc wont open .d2v file

[AssAsiN]

I have forgotten since the last time i installed tmpgenc what i need to configure to make tmpgenc allow the opening of . d2v files from dvd2avi

If anybody knows what i need to do could they kindly assist me to fix this problem, thanx

In the upper left hand corner of TMPG choose option>environmental setting>VFAPI plug-in. Check the box marked "DVD2AVI File Reader", then give it a priority of one. See if that helps.

The "DVD2AVI File Reader" isnt displayed on the VFAPI plug-in table

Do i need to download something for this?

[Laddydaddy]

Try the instructions on this link:https://www.videohelp.com/mpeg2tovcd.htm. See if they help.

Ive followed those instructions, yet nothing seems to change, except the fact that tmpgenc reconizes .d2v files but still wont allow me to open them

[Laddydaddy]

What do you mean it recognizes them but won't open them?

[pinoy2201]

did you move the video source? if you did dat might be your problem..to fix this..make a new d2v file where your video file is or simply move them back to where they were once before

Hi. Make sure your TMPGEnc VFAPI environmental settings show "DVD2AVI Project File Reader" and also this is checked/ticked.

The Windows command that registers a VFAPI plugin into TMPGEnc is like this (notice the comma between the "vfp" and "RunDLL"):

rundll32.exe TMPGEnc.vfp,RunDLL_VFAPIInstall Register

...in which the "TMPGEnc.vfp" is the plugin file that resides in the TMPGEnc program directory. I suppose you could try the following command to register the DVD2AVI plugin, like so:

rundll32.exe DVD2AVI.vfp,RunDLL_VFAPIInstall Register

The "DVD2AVI.vfp" plugin file is in the DVD2AVI program directory though.

See this graphic for an example of the result in TMPGEnc.

What i mean by tmpgenc reconizes it but doesnt allow me to open it is that i can choose to open a d2v file and select the one i want but then it says that it isnt supported

maybe i should try reauthor the file but i dont think that is the problem, because i have never had that problem, but i cant remember this happening either

I had a similar problem and found that when I extracted/installed DVD2AVI 1.77 right into the TMPGEnc folder, everything worked flawlessly.

Probably not the way it's supposed to work, but it got things running in my case.

Just something for your consideration.

[Laddydaddy]

Try running your file through DVD2AVI again. As long as the DVD2AVI File Reader is listed in the VFAPI plugin-table with a priority of one, it should read it.

Ah, another idea...unless this was already mentioned above...

Whenever you use DVD2AVI, save the .d2v project file with a short file name that is around 8 characters long (not including the ".d2v" part). Such as "movie1.d2v" or something similar.

In the past I have had problems, I would save my file with a long name...usually longer than 20 characters and the VFAPI converter and TMPGENC would not work.

I reauthored the d2v file in DVD2AVI and changed the name of the file and IT WORKED!

Thanx for all your help
