I was so excited, I going to make my first mpeg1 with tmpgenc, I read the step by step did it all even added the plug in vfapi, well i get to step of encoding the dtv file and the audio wav file and hit start button and the error "Cant load p3 Package.dll" comes up and I can go no further, Any ideas from the Dvd to vcd Gods? thanks
It sure can be confusing. There was a major change in TMP from version 2.56.39.143 to 2.57.41.146, something to do with the Direct Show filters I think. Myself, I use the older version 2.02.31.119, a version which didn't incorporate these changes, and it recognizes .d2v files right off the bat. In your TMPGEnc directory, you should see a batch file, Helamann, called 'TMPGEncVFP_Install.bat'. Be sure to run it. (There is a complimentary Uninstall.bat file as well). The "Can't load P3 Package.dll" is curious too. My TMP folder has a 'P4Package.dll' file in it. (???) Barring a new download & install of TMP from the download section, try running that batch file first (if you can find it), and see if it helps. Good Luck. -- K.A. --
