    Hi

    I have just downloaded 2 avi files and I tried coverting them to mpg-1 format with TMPGEnc, but when I start the program the preview screen is black...?!?!?

    I have the latest codecs installed...I think...?...from the divx site anyway.

    Also when I try to watch the avi files with Windows Media Player they work just fine.

    I would like to convert both avi files to mpg-1 files, so I can make 2 VCD's.

    I would appreciate it if anyone could give me some advice or tips to solve my problem....

    Thanks

    This wouldn't happen to be a VBR multipass mpeg-1 encode you are attempting, would it? Such as an XVCD, I mean (since you didn't specifically say "VCD", I thought I'd ask).

    If it is a single-pass encode, then take a look at:

    As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."

    No...just a regular VCD...not SVCD or XVCD.

    Since they play OK try this

    TMPGEnc
    Select options > environmental settings
    click the VFAPI plug-in tab
    right click the "DirectShow" and select higher priority, do this several times until its at the top with a value of 4

    Also...

    Option > Preview Option > Display with thinning Just incase you have it switched off
