    hi

    I have some problems with the TMPGEnc software. It works on most of the movies i want to convert, but a few dont. It'll start the process but then at a certain point it will give me an error message. Can anyone tell me why?

    yea it doesnt do it to all the movies.. would it be because of the PAL, NTSC, NTSCFILM thing? Do you know what the difference those are and if it matters which one it is on? I know which one goes with which movie though.. I'm just wondering what they do.

    No i reckon it is caused by a corrupt frame actually! Would it do it in the exact same spot on some ofthose files?

    yea it would be at the same spot. is there a way to fix it? although, when i watch it on my computer it looks just fine and there is nothing wrong with it, unless i didn't notice it.

    Open it in virtualdub and click video - direct stream copy and click audio - direct stream copy. Now the last two buttons on the button bar will look something like "{" and "}". So the first means start selection and the other means end selection so make a selection of the bad frame/frames and click edit - delete selection. The selection is easily made by using the slidebar to go before the frame and then after it (note that the left and right direction keys will skip 1 frame in that direction!).

    When you have selected and delete drag the slide bar near to the end of the file and click play to check if the audio is in sync with the video, if it isnt, then try the same thing with Nandub or VirtualDUBMOD! If it is in sync then click file - save as avi and save it as a different name to the original!
