I've got that illegal floating decimal point error all the F***ing time and its annoying. The settings of the movie I am trying to encode are: 16:9 (NTSC) VBR 512x244 ( i think) and motion search presicion set to normal. The audio is at 48.8( i think) and 160kbps. I seem to only get this problem when i use variable bitrate, any suggestions? it pisses me off!
oh, and by the way, i just figured out that i had adobe premiere on my laptop and was wondering if that program is better for all this stuff that i'm doing? it's pretty expensive isn't it?
CRAZYmack, What program&encoder are you using and what format are you attempting to convert to? (SVCD or VCD) Shoey
TMPGEnc eh?? CRAZYmack, you will have to disable TMPGEnc using floating point DCT for Quantize Matrix. This means you will have to disable SSE which means encoding may take longer. Do the following Click Option - environmental settings. Click CPU and disable SSE and SSE-2. Click OK and click setting. Click the Quantize Matrix tab. The "use Floating Point DCT" option may have already been disabled when you disabled SSE but if it wasnt, do disable it. Now try and encode. If it seems like it is just going to take way too long to encode then we can go on an alternative route - splitting the avi file so that you only need to encode a minute or so without SSE!
