    I'm trying for two days converting Kill Bill (Diamond DVD rip) to MPEG2 using TmpgEnc but I can't get it right. I tried every possible guide but every time I reach the window to set bitrate/length, TmpgEnc seems to get confused and shows the total video length as 320mins (it's more like 100mins in reality!)

    Any idea why this is?

    read the forum rules, noone and i do mean noone cares what movie you have, i've said this before, just say something like "i have this movie, its xvid/divx" so on and so fourth, a question like that is not breaking the forum rules

    ok, sorry about that. I'll remember it for future posts. I just though it could be useful information because maybe that specific movierip was known to cause problems.

    I was able to fix the problem myself by now though by increasing the priority level of direct display (or something like that). movie is converting as we speak.

    sorry for the mispost...

    I'm having the same problem with the same....

    What is it that you changed in TmpgEnc Lapino?

    Is the fact that the prog thinks the film is 240 mins+ the reason why it reckons it'll take nearly 100 hours to convert?!?!

    you have to go to "option - environmental setting" and change the priority for VAPI plugin "Directshow mmedia file reader" to 2

    I have the same problem about my movie being 339 minutes long. My original file is a DVD-RIP-XVID movie. It is one file. I took the file and ran it thru tmpgenc like i always do and ran the wizard. At the final screen before i choose to output to 2 streams (m1v and mp2), the file is like 339 minutes long and the red bar is way over 4.7gb. I tried changing the VAPI plug in in the environmental setting to *2* as the person who previously posted did, but then got an error about an xvid.dll file. Not sure why this is happening as my movies have always been in the 4.7gb range. My original movie is 713,488 kb long. Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi
    First I opened TMPGENC... and closed out the wizard. Then I changed that setting...selected OK. Then right after that, I got the error:
    TMPGENC caused an invalid page fault in
    module XVID.DLL at 0177:03f3cd9a.
    Registers:
    I reinstalled and then repaired the program but the same problem occurs. I have encoded many movies with tmpgenc...but can anyone explain why *this* particular movie ends up with 339 minutes? Am I supposed to run it through virtual dub first? I think though, that even putting it thru virtual dub also caused the end result to be 339 minutes.

    first of all you must decompress the audio to wav, then if tmpge is still overestimating the file length goto source range in the advanced tab and set ur starting frame and your ending frame, this will tell tmpge exactly what to encode, not that 339mins bs that tmpge is telling you.
    if you want a simple yet very effective audio decompressor other than vdub let me know and i'll give ya a link

    Sounds to me as though the film is VBR and you are trying to encode it for dvd-r which is CBR.
