tmpgenc avi to mpg problem

[Solarflair]

trying to encode avi to mpeg. when i start it, i dont see video of anykind. i just see black screen. So i cancel it and check out what that mpeg looks like.

The sound is there. but the video is a black screen. Also, when i cancelled, it says invalid pointer operation. Does anyone know why?

Sure, change the DirectShow Priority to the highest one:

what do u mean by that? i can get to that men/tab. All i can do is check or uncheck the box. On mine, that directshow is near the bottom of list, and has a -1 priority.

I messed around to see if i can change it but i cant

Keep right-clicking and selecting Higher Priority until it is at the top of the list.

ok thanks tommyknocker, it worked. you must know tmpgenc inside out. i just wasted 2 hours figuring out this GOP standard thing b/c author wouldnt accept my mpg.

I wish. I hate to burst your bubble, but that is one of the oldest and most asked quesyions here. Good luck, though.
