problems with tmpgenc

[jojo1028]

ihave always used tmpgenc without many problems. I recently upgraded my processor from an amd 500 to a amd athlon xp 1800 and changed my windows from 98 to ME. My encoding is way quicker but Tmpgenc keeps freezing with read address errors. I don't think its frame problems as if i restart encode, it stops different places every time. i have closed all programs in background, also antivirus, firewall, also disabled autorun. can someone please help as i am fed up with piecing my films together

thanks

You did not mention if you tried reinstalling TMPGEnc.

I have two versions of tmpgenc, version 12 which usually will encode anything, and another 1 i think is version 2.52. I have uninstalled version 2.52, but still the same and i now have a lot of problems with the audio, keeps coming up with message audio error. version 12 will load anything but still freezes the same. I have all codecs inc Xvid and ac3 could i have a conflict. It never did it on my old processer when i had win98se. I have to keep source ranging it and doing the film in bits and then piecing together, what a pain,mind you, I'm good at cutting and joining now.

thanks

sounds like you have some bits of the old program lurking in your registry--you may have to hunt them down and remove them as most uninstall programs aren't worth a crap. Of course it could be ME--I have not heard too many people say good things about that OS--unstable,buggy etc, etc...good luck

I have had similar problems as you, I'm running in XP.
My best suggestion is to run a disk defrag or similar type application before each capture and run it again before doing TMPGE. I have all but eliminated this problem. Also, using 2Pass has seemed to help eliminate this too. This is just by my best memory, I have no documented proof to show this has any help on the topic, but it is worth a try.

thanks for your replys, I know WinMe is pretty crap, but I've got so much software on my system, its a pain to back it all up and format, i'll see if i can sort it , but it could be ME as like I stated I didn't have it on 98SE. I'll try the 2 pass and see how it goes.
