TMPG encoder removes files

[siski]

When i started encoding for about 5 or 10 minutes and after this time i
abort encoding, the files in the ouput directory are automaticly removed.

Wondering if there is a way to prevent this.

The reason why i abort encoding after 5 or 10 minutes is that i want to see
the result of what it has encoded.

You need to select a source range to encode your small 'test'

In TMPGEnc select: >Setting > Source Range

Then select a <start frame> marker and an <end frame> marker.

Set them pretty close together. (about 20 secs playback time should be long enough to get a good idea of the quality and won't take long to encode.)

When you encode only the footage between these two markers will be encoded.

Hope this helps.

I've only seen this happen when I stop a two pass encode before the second pass begins. There aren't any frames to view until the second pass starts.
