    When I convert an avi movie to mpeg 2 the movie file becomes readicously long. So i searched on the forums and found 1 post. Followed the instructions and now when i encode it finishes encoding the whole movie and than it loops again.

    how do you mean it "loops again"?? if tmpgenc overestimates the file size/length, go into 'source range' and set your start frame and end frame, meaning you tell tmpgenc what to encode, so it doesnt have blackness on the end of the file just the movie/whatever you want to encode.

    i think i fixed it..... what i did was extract the mp3 stream and saved it as WAV and than i seletcted PCM audio stream instead of CBR mpeg layer 2 and its fine now..

    yeah i should of mentioned that earlier, tmpgenc doesnt handle compressed audio very well, you have to convert all audio to wav b4 trying to encode with tmpgenc. accept ac3 where you can use this little prog so that tmpgenc can encode the audio directly.

    on a side note tho, if your making a dvd ac3 can be used as the audio source so all youd have to do is de-multiplex the audio from the source using tmpgenc and just encode the video, too easy :)
