Tmpgenc crashes upon opening some files

[Foolio70]

Hello -

I have recently started to experience a weird problem. Tmpgenc is throwing a floating-point exception at me when I open some of my MPEG-1 files. This doesn't happen with all of them - seems to open some of them just fine.

I have tried 4 different versions of the Tmpgenc - 12c, 2.02, 2.50, 2.56 - and I get the same exception with the same files everytime. This leads me to believe it to be a DirectShow issue. I have tried reinstalling DirectX but that does nothing.

I'm running Win2k, DX 8.1, and have tried things like raising the DirectShow filter priority, disabling other filters, killing off CPU tuning in the Environment settings etc.

The MPEG-1 files that do open don't seem to have much different with the ones that don't (as far as bitrates and types of associated audio are concerned). I believe I was able to open one of the MPEG files back when I was running 9x, but I'm not entirely sure about this.

Perhaps I'm just being dense or something. I apologize ahead of time if this is posted in the inappropriate forum.

Thanks

What other video/mutimedia/editing software have u installed?

Perhaps this is an incomplete list:

WinDVD
Xmpeg
Sonic MyDVD
Several DivX codecs (3.11 alpha, 4, 5)
Soundforge

That should be about it. I also have several versions of VirtualDub and FlaskMPEG resident somewhere on my machine.

Incidently, these MPEG files do open and play just fine in Media Player 6.4.

Thanks

Bounce. Sorry, to lazy to retype the question.
