Having problems with TMEPgenc not encoding the whole file.

I have had a 50% success rate at converting AVI to MPG, but the problem I am running into is that it will cut encoding when it is almost done with maybe 10-20% left to go. What happens is it just shuts TMEPgenc down, I mean close off the program and that's it no way around encoding the last 10-20%. Any suggestions? Oh and I am using v.2.53 with Pinoy2201 Vcd template.

Does it not give any error message before shutting down.

No error message it just shuts down. This is what puzzles me.

Are you cutting the AVI file with Virtual Dub first before encoding? When I tried that, I ran into the same problem in TMPGenc.

I used virtualdub to convert the sound to a wav file and then convert to mpeg using TMEPgenc with the video coming from original source and the sound coming from the wav file I created.

How about splitting the avi into 2 parts with Virtual Dub (ver1.3). I have just
had a similar experience today. The avi was about 1.4 gig. When
I was compressing it with the Divx5 codec it would get about 3/4 done
then crap out (error msg). I split the file into 2 parts and tried to
compress them. Part one went fine but part 2 crapped out at the same spot.
I then used the "Direct Stream" method from Virtual Dub (ver1.3) to
compress part 2 again and it worked.

I have since ripped the wav's from both parts and I will be encoding them
tonight with TMPGEnc.
