TMPGEnc Illegal floating decimal point calculation order??

[DRP]

First let me say that I've read the sticky topic at the head of the forum and I've read this -

"Try first to change the directshow codec reader priority settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 2 or to the top of the plugin-list and try reopen the video.
If that doesn't help try repair/fix the video source, you find video repair/fix guides here (Downloaded video files could have bad/corrupt video frames that could cause crashes)."


I have tried all the suggestions in that and still I am getting this error dialog up each time the encode begins after a VBR analysing pass.

It looks like this...



Here the VBR pass has just finished and the actual encoding just begun when TMPGEnc crashed with the dialog. The file itself is being frameserved through VDub because TMPGEnc refused to open it directly for whatever reason. I have scanned the file for errors with VDub-mp3 freeze and the result of that was no errors. Directshow Filter is at the top of the priority list.

Any ideas??

I think I made have found a solution to this problem. The problem only started occuring when i upgraded my computer from a Duron 800 with no SSE support to a Celeron 2GHz with SSE support.

The Duron continues to work perfectly, while the Celeron keeps returning the above error with identical encodes of identical files on identical installs of TMPGEnc.

The only difference is that TMPGEnc wants to make use of the SSE functionality of the Celeron and has checked the DCT checkbox under Quantize Matrix in MPEG settings. With SSE enabled in Environmental Settings on the Celeron the error happens everytime. On the Duron the SSE functionality in Environmental Settings can't be enabled because the CPU doesn't support it. I'm hoping that manually disabling the SSE functionality in Environmental Settings on the Celeron (thus making it perform like the Duron) will solve the problem.

HTH someone.
