problems with video converting with TMPG

[bblack03]

When I try to convert an avi to mpg w/ TMPGEnc ver.j, I loose the video. I can open the mpg when finished the sound works fine, but have no picture. Please help.

I think, you have select Stream type - System (Audio only). Try Stream type - System (Video + Audio).

thanks, but I did have that option chosen thats why I can't figure it out whats wrong.

Can you play the file in media player with both video/sound?

When you preview the file in TMPGenc can you see the picture? For example, under source range.

Have your tried frameserving the file to TMPGenc with avisynth. I've had a few captured AVIs that played fine in media player but came up blank in TMPGenc. Framing serving with AVIsynth allowed TMPGenc to view them (have no idea why).

the only command you'll really need to use is:
AVISource("d:\capture.avi&quot

Whenever I try to open the file I created, it says... "AVISource: failed to decompress frame 0 (error -100)"
