TMPGEnc 3.0 Xpress problem

[adamthered]

I need help.

I have been using TMPGEnc 3.0 Xpress for about a year and a half now without any issues.

Until today.

I'm converting 4 AVI files to MPEG2 so I can then author and burn them to DVD. Everything is fine with the first pass (analyzing video) but once the second pass starts (audio and video) the picture vanishes for the duration of the very first file (about 24 minutes on this one) and then reappears where the second file would begin. There is audio during that time but no picture.

What is causing this? I haven't done anything differently with the program and have been using it the same way since I installed it. If anyone has any suggestions on what might be causing this and what I can do to fix it I would be very appreciative. I did run the repair program and am taking it for a test run to see if it irons the problem out.

Thanks in advance!

It appears that running the repair feature may have fixed the problem During my test run when the progress bar switched over to 50% the video stayed around this time.

Gonna run it through again and make sure it's going to work again.

Okay, now it's acting up again. This time the video disappeared in the section where file 2 would have been.

Any ideas what's created this issue? Thanks!
