    I used this programme fr ages with no problems. Now, nothing seems to work right with it.

    1. I have a file I want to convert from avi to MPEG1. It recognises the file as about 4 times as long as it originally is when I try to convert it, and makes a 1.1Gb avi file into a 3.7Gb MPEG file. When I play this back, there is about 200 minutes of nothing, as well as the 100 minutes of film. Anyone have any idea why?

    2. I want to cut films into two pieces so that I can put them onto 2 VCD's. For some reason, the sound just does not stay. It's there for part of the film and then disappears for the rest of it.

    3. I am trying to encode one file from avi to MPEG1 and halfway through, the picture corrupts. I can't get it to work without this happening.

    Sorry to post so many questions in one thread, but I don't know why all of these problems are starting now, when I have never had problems before. If anyone can give me any help on any of them, I would be very grateful.

    One more thing, is it worth upgrading to TMPGEnc plus?

    Thanks for your time

    Hi! If i'm correct, most probably the avi file come with mp3 VBR audio codec. Hope this help.. click http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/69931

    Otherwise need a further details on the avi file that u have. U can get it from GSpot.

    Cheers.
    P/s: i'm using the plus version.

    You will Need to Decompress the audio in the AVI file before encodeing it to Mpeg1/VCD, you can use Virtual-Dub for this or what I use is a Simple Tool Called "Decompress.exe"...And you should Try raiseing the priority of the "Direct Show File Reader" in the "VFAPI Plugins" to "2" this should Help Tmpgenc Properly read the Length of your AVI file and you can also use the "Source Range" to select the Beginning and End Points of your File ,This should solve the Extra Blank Video at the end of the File...You can also just use the Merge & Cut" to cutt the Blank Video off the End of the Mpeg File...It is only worth it to Buy to "Tmpgenc Plus" if you are going to be useing an Mpeg2 encodeing for SVCD or DVD because For Mpeg1/VCD the Free version is Free forever....Cheers
