Unknown error with TMPGEnc

[MegaDave]

About 25% - 35% through a file, I keep getting an error, and TMPGEnc is shutting down. The error is listed below;

Write error occured at address 0048867 E of module TMPGEnc.exe with 00205000

Does anyone have any clue as to what this error means? Is it a problem with the source file, or a problem with TMPGEnc? Anyone know how to fix this error? So far it has happened on two seperate files, on one of them multiple times.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think i had this sort of problem when i was running out of hd space.
make sure your hd has plenty of free space. also make sure the output directory is correct, may want to browse to the directory again.

if you have mutiple hd's or have more than one partition, try to create the output directory onto the other hd/partition.

make sure the file you are using does not have any errors on it. run it through divx fix if it's an avi file. it can be found in the tools section of this website.

I seem to recall having a similar error when trying to use TMPGEnc to encode on one of my computers on which was running PC2100 memory at 166mhz (i.e., I had overclocked the memory). The error disappeared when I lowered the memory speed to something at which it was actually stable (151 mhz).

Video encoding is very system intensive. If you are overclocking and have a weak link (i.e., something isn't really stable at the speed you're running it at), TMPGEnc WILL crash it.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, ignore this post

Well, I first took your suggestion dafreak, and I cleaned up my harddrive. I had a lot of unused programs, and a bunch of videos, music, etc. that I deleted. I ended up deleting about 10 gig (out of my 40g HD). Then I ran disc cleanup, and then defragged the whole system (it had been a while anyway). I re-started TMPGEnc, and tried the same file that I have been trying all day. About the same point, it happened again, except this time it said 026A7000 at the end instead of 00205000. This made me think it was the source file, so I played it and it worked all the way through. I am going to download divx fix like you suggested and try that next.

I have never overclocked my pc on my own, but I did go into the bios and checked everything out, it is still at factory settings, so I don't think that is causing it.

If divx fix doesn't work, I will post back here requesting more options.

Change the directshow priority or check and remove bad frames, see the two links below.

blarg!

Well, Divx Fix did nothing. It still consistently stops at 23%. I put the file into windows media and went as close to 23% that I could, found the same scene, and to my eye, I could not find anything wrong with the file.

I did check the Dircet Show prioity, and I knew that at one point I had already raised it to a 2, however, I forgot that I did that on the trial version, and hadn't done it again on the registered version. I just started running it again, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I will update.
