    What kind of machine are you running. You can get the minimum system requirements at http://www.tmpgenc.net

    Also, another problem is caused by opening TMPGEnc from a shortcut and not from the folder the .exe is in!

    My computer meets the requirements, it is a 1.3 ghz computer with 129mb Ram, ample hard disk space, with around 2gb free space, 64mb nvidia graphics card!
    Also i open it from the *.exe file and not a shortcut!
    I am trying to endode an xvid into an mpeg if this has anything to do with it!
    Any other ideas, please HELP!!!!

    I wouldn't think the xvid file would have much to do with it to be honest! Un fortunately, TMPGEnc is full of bugs and errors just like this one. One thing you can try though is frameserve to TMPGEnc from VirtualDUB.

    This is pretty easy. In the virtualdub folder, open auxsetup and click install handler. that will install frameserving. then open virtualdub and click file - start frameserver after you've opened the xvid in it. now it will ask you to save a file, save it with a .avi extension and try to see if TMPGEnc will open it and encode with no problems. Make sure that you leave VirtualDUB open because this program will also be in use the whole way through the conversion!

    Sorry to butt in and possibly contradict, but by crashing do you mean stops processing half way through movie? That often happens with avi files d/l from Kazza and the like. Fix them with avifix or divfix or whatever and you should be in luck. Possibly I have the wrong end of the stick.

    it just crashes when i open the program or sometimes when i try to slect the source file this happens, i have used used avifix and it claims there are no errors so it cannot be this, and as for frameserving still, even when i try to slect the the file to encode into mpeg, tmpegenc just crashes and have to reboot the computer!! anymore ideas???

    I had the same problem with the latest version of tmpgenc. The solution was to go to:-

    Option>Environmental Setting> VFAPI plugin

    Right mouse click on DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and select Higher Priority. Repeat this until it gets to the top of the list. This should now fix the problem.
