tmpgenc won't encode video

[minne1969]

First of all i'd like to say hello to everyone, i'm a newbie at this, so bear with me. I'm trying to use tmpgenc to encode a movie i downloaded on kazza. I've downloaded the lastest version of tmgenc, when i go to open up the file(movie) tmpgenc tells me that it "cannot open or unsupported". This only happens when i try to open file in video, trying to open in audio is no problem. Is there something that i'm missing, or need?
Or something i'm not doing right? Please help

What format is the movie? Did you check to see if it will play on WMP or another player? The file may be no good.

Try installing Nimo Codecs Package 5.0...see if that works because I think you don't have the right codec thus the video is not being recognized by TMPGEnc Video Options. !!

Hope it works...

Thanks for the advice everyone, i downloaded Nimo Codec and i was able to encode. The next task is if possible making it dvd playable, anyway stay close in case i need ya, lol. Thanks again.

I am having problems with this software too. How come when I tired to encode this Windows Media Audio/Video file into MPEG, it says illegal MPEG video stream? But it works fine when I encode an .avi file.

Are u still having problems with the Illegal Stream thing even AFTER you have Installed Nimo Codecs Package ??? If not please explain a little bit more... Also your saying that it works fine whan you encode in .AVI ???? Im a little confused ??

Converting a WMF is sometimes harder than a divx - it's not a matter of codecs. Read up on it.
