My bro. "accidently" messed my cpu up and cancelled a really long conversion that i was running. is it possible for me to continue from where I left off?

The only thing i THINK u can do, is to open up the file you were encoding (i assume it was a AVI) in VIRTUALDUB, chop off the bit you have already encoded, and save it. Then open up the new file in tmpgenc. Done and done.

Sorry man but I dont get what your saying. If u chop off the pit u already encoded your gonna have to start over, huh????

Probably what he means is chop off the finished part of the AVI. Encode what remains. If you do that you will have two MPEG files. One from the aborted work and another one from the unfinished part of the AVI. You can then merge the two MPEGS later on. You can do all of these in TMP by using source range:

1) Find out where the unfinished MPEG ends.
2) In TMP set it to source start on that part (using the avi file).
3) Source end up to the last frame of the AVI.
4) Encode.
This will give you the second MPEG that u can merge with the unfinished one.

To use source range go to settings, advanced.
To merge use File, MPEG Tools, Merge & Cut
