TMPGEn unsupported!

[nrishiraj]

I have captured some dv footage from my digital camcorder using Adobe Premiere, the problem is when i try to open that avi (dv) file with TMPGenc it says "can not open or unsupported?"

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

read some guides or search the forum. This topic is covered many, many times!

Increase the Direct Show filter to 4 will probably solve the problem.

For the record,

bugster
Not all that helpful at all as specially coming from a moderator. Are you trying to intimidate new users? I hope you do understand we were all new users at some stage.

Great post solved my problem

I couldn't be bothered looking through guides etc. Did a search and TMPGEnc & Unsupported and found this post. I just set up a new pc used exactly the same version of TMPGEnc and the same environment setting and it didn't work. Direct Show to 4 and it all work!! Thank you.

Best Regards
Amelia

Bugster is not trying to intimidate you, rather he is trying to instill into you some good problem solving skills. The question/problem you have has been discussed many times here on this forum, and a forum search would have given you the answer you need. Instead bandwidth and time have been wasted answering this question once again.

Doing research on your part is not a help only to us, but to you as well.

andkiich,

I think you totally misunderstood my post. Let me clarify:

Bugster did not intimidate me as his post wasn't to me at all, but rather nrishiraj. I did a search and found the information without any problems and added comments that may be of help to others. So please note I did a search and found my answer so I have no idea what you are talking about.

As far a bandwidth goes, he would have wasted less by simply answering the question or providing a link.

My suggestion to you is first read my post and make sure you understand what I have posted before wasting more bandwidth. It's obvious you haven't realise I have been on this board a lot longer than you.

I have been a part of this forum a lot longer than you guys and I know I have seen changes in the way people respond to posts. Please keep in mind this forum was based on people helping each other.

If you look at the first post you will notice one was ever made by nrishiraj . . . not a good sign at all.

Cheers
Amelia

read some guides or search the forum. This topic is covered many, many times!

and then

I did a search and found the information without any problems

So you see, my answer was exactly what was required.

For someone who has been a member for such a long time, and is well aware that

this forum was based on people helping each other.

.

helping people help themselves to find the required answers is just as Hseful, if not more so, than simply providing a link to what may or may not be the required answer in any particular situation. Teaching people how to use a valuable resource like dvdrhelp.com most effectivley is (IMHO) better than spoon feeding answers.

As a long time member I would hope you could understand this.

Not exactly. The way I see it, nrishiraj joined and made her post 08 Jan. You torpedoed her(?) the very next day. She never posted again. I think your flip answer "sunk" her, Skipper.

The different points of view in this thread remind me of a time when I worked for a large company. There was a meeting at which "management by objective" was mentioned. Then someone asked who's objective, management, employee, customer, stockholder? It suddenly became very quiet.

[AmeliaK]

This will be my last post on this thread as I can see its about to get out of hand and you don't seem to be seeing my point. Yes people should search first, but this is his or hers first post.

Please let me share my experience. When I first started posting on this board, or should I say the board previous to this. I must have asked some of the most stupid questions ever, but no one ever made me feel like I had done the wrong thing. I couldn't believe people like Baldrick always made me feel welcome and either provide me with a link or the answer.

And yes most if not all the questions and issues I brought up had been covered before and a search would have found the answer, but just go to the home page and have a look at how many issues have been covered before. 90% of the post here have been covered over and over again.

All I know is I found this stuff so intimidating when I first started out and programs like TMPGEnc looked like they had a million and one settings, let alone muxing, file serving etc. If it wasn't for this board, I wouldn't be able to do the things I can.

All I know is I have the highest respect for people like Baldrick & Sefy who in the early days gave me so much help and never made me feel like I had done the wrong thing.

When I saw your reply to the person's first post ever I know how I would have reacted. I am sure your a nice person and obviously helpful otherwise you wouldn't be a moderator, but in my opinion I think you have forgotten what its like to be just starting out.

As a long time member I would hope you could understand this

You obviously believe you reply to nrishiraj was just and would handle things the same way. Well all I can say to this is you have lost nrishiraj as a possible contributing member to this forum.

Please understand I wasn't trying to have a personal attack on you bugster but rather point out that you could have handled the question a lot better.

Amelia,

I never intended to offend anyone with my response. However, I find it increasingly frustrating when people come to a board that costs them ZERO to join and expect hand outs. Not saying this poster did, but the fact that it seemed there was no attempt(I know I made an assumption and we all know what that means) made to even look for the information is frustrating.

Way too many people today think that they should have the answers given to them. The more you give them the answers instead of teaching them how to solve problems, the worse it will be for them in the future, not only in this but in life in general. Everything we do in life has meaning, regardless of how small or insignificant it seems.

My profession requires me to solve problems every single day. I would be out of a job if I asked questions about a topic anad expected my boss or collegues to explain everything to me. If I have a specific question about a product or process, then that is a different story. I do not want to waste their valuable time having to have them explain to me something that I could have already found out by doing a 5 minute search on the web or taking 10 minutes to read through the manuals.

The best thing that my college professors ever taught me were hoe to solve problems and how to decipher technical manuals. Those 2 things have given me an edge at work and in my personal life. I find that I understand subjects better and am a better teacher when I take the time to find the answers and not have them provided to me.

We all need help from time to time, no one is excluded.

What is pathetic is that people would spend so much time arguing over such a long period rather than either answering the question or passing.
Hope nrishiraj solved his/her problem, if not, please post again so that we can see if we can help.

I find people like you increasingly frustrating. You actually look down on people and for some reason think you are better?

This is a FORUM BOARD where people discuss things

I develop PalmOS, Windows, Pocket PC and web application, what has that got to do with this?

So if I'm a cleaner who wants to edit my home movies I shouldn't ask questions? You understand the web and if I don't and this is my first forum board posting I should know better?

The best thing that my college professors ever taught me were hoe to solve problems and how to decipher technical manuals. Those 2 things have given me an edge at work and in my personal life.

I don't think anyone care about your professional background or mine.

We all need help from time to time, no one is excluded.

Yes We do

I know I said the previous post was going to be my last, but yours blew me away.

Cheers
Amelia

BTW: This thread end here for me

Amelia , this wasn't your thread, any answers were for the original
poster. You kind of "hijacked" the answer as if it was your question.
You couldn't be bothered to look in the guides, but you
have plenty of time to yell at the mods.

[Sefy]

Ok, I think that's enough. has the Original Poster got the Answer they were looking for ? or do you still require assistance ?
