    rubio12, I've seen that playback before when I used to use TMPGEnc, I think its just TMPGEnc itself!

    Get VirtualDUB off this site and open the avi in it and do the following

    1. Click video - direct stream copy
    2. click audio - full processing mode
    3. click audio - compression and select no compression pcm and click ok
    4. click file - save avi!

    open the file you save in TMPGEnc and see will it work!

    Hi have downloaded the codec and can now get it to open in VirtualDub, but TMPGEnc still doesnt like it. After decompressing the audio, I go into TMPGEnc but when I go to source the range, it usually either wont show the picture or wont show the audio. Then, in the middle of encoding the programme crashes. Any other suggestions?

    Go to TMPGEnc and click options - environmental settings. click the vfapi plug-in tab. look for the directshow file reader in the list and right click it. give it higher priority until it reaches the top of the list and try again!

    Im afraid im still having problems with this file :-( I have given up trying to cut edit the file and am just trying to encode it straight, but it freezes after it starts encoding. Could there be something wrong with the file?

    Ye of course there could be. Thats the problem with movies these days is that a lot of them have little errors and bad frames and things in them. can you play the file perfectly??

    Yes it plays fine on Ultra Player, which is what I always use to play files. I may try downloading it again

    Takemyars... i've been having problems as well with TMPGenc, A lot of it has to do with the actual download.... but have a look at the new URL that dela posted. DVD2SVCD and CCE are the way to go. It's not that TMPGenc is bad but i am finding that running the three programs eventually i get a good BACKUP of MY Files. The only downside is that a lot of hours are wasted.
