problem with tempgenc plus

[lancerx]

Hi guys,

I got the fallowing problem, im trying to use this sofware to add a subt to an avi file, i got installed K Lite codec pack full vers, but every time i try open the avi file or to output it, the program closes, i dont know whats going on with it, i had never this problem b4 and now i cant do anything since i re installed winxp.

Any suggestion?

Note: on enviromental setup i got direct show multimedia file reader as a priority.

thanks

Too late for suggestions. (Which otherwise would have been: Don't ever install codec packs. Specially not K-Lite)

Is there anything i can do? unninstall it or something?

In my experience, uninstall doesn't work.
Spent weeks trying to restore video playback/readability once when I was young an stupid, after a K-Lite intermezzo. Actually never regained full playback capability until I did a new Windows install.
Try tools like codec sniper to get rid of what K-Lite uninstall leaves behind.
Remove everything not installed by Windows default.
Once you have a clean system, install the codec you need as you need it. Use GSpot to identify what codec a particular file wants.

Thank you

i unninstalled klite codec and installed directvobsub and ffdshow, now i got a video with no image but at least the subts are there.

Just ffdshow goes a really long way as far as video decoding goes. It also renders some subtitle formats, so directvobsub may not be needed...

Problem solved

K lite did not use to have this kind of problem b4 with tempgenc.

thanks

K lite did not use to have this kind of problem b4 with tempgenc.

It's not that K-Lite has a problem with TMPGEnc - It's the whole video sub system of your computer that has problem with K-Lite. Installing a codec pack to fix the playback of a video file is like hunting a mosquito in your kitchen with a shot gun. You may fix the mosquito, but your kitchen will be a mess.
