IIRC, TMPGEnc can't read mpeg2 on its own. However, the trick ysed to be to install PowerDVD (the trial version would do) and then TMPGEnc can use PowerDVDs mpeg2 decoder (which is left in your system even if PowerDVD is uninstalled). There's even a dedicated mpeg2 decoder plugin for TMPGEnc.

Try raising the Directshow Multimedia File Reader to a higher priority. Go to Option>Environmental Setting>VFAPI Plugin.

Directshow Multimedia File is already at the top of the list

With the pro version isn't the mpg2 encoder and decoder is suppose to be included ?
