Dreaded file unsupported error in TMPGEnc

[kpoman]

Okay, I downloaded an mpeg file and here is the info that the program AVIcodec returned on the file:



I keep getting the dreaded "file unsupported" error in TMPGEnc when I try to convert the file to DVD compliant Mpeg2. I've done everything the sticky post suggested such as:

1. Make the Directshow Multimedia File Reader the top priorty
2. Installed DivX codecs
3. Installed XviD codecs
4. Installed ffdshow codecs

But I still receive the error. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

usually when i convert mpeg2 files to whatever format i want (vcd, dvd), i frameserve it first using dvd2avi, then load the saved project in tmpgenc.

What exactly is frameserving?

Does anybody else know what the problem can be with TMPGEnc? Thanks.

That is already a DVD compliant file if AVIcodec is correct. It doesn't need conversion. However it is shown as 20 seconds duration with a file size of close to 20megs.

You don't need XVID or DIVX unless that's what you plan to convert it to. If so I would use VirtualdubMod instead.
