    What type of file is it?

    Use Gspot to identify the codec needed.

    Go to "options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct Show File Reader" to "2"...This should fix the Problem...
    Also if there is no Picture in the Preview Screen while encodeing then there will be no Picture in the encoded Mpeg file....

    Cheers

    I used that to fix the Volume. I do that when there is no audio on the output video it makes. So doing this doesn't help the picture.

    ANyone else with ideas...?

    Has anyone used TMPGENc 3.0 xpress and Virtualdub Frameserving successfully. I'm always getting a "file not supported" in 3.0 xpress... Just thought I'd add this

    I can get it to work if I disable the "Direct show File Reader"....

    Actually I just tried it again without disableing the Direct show File reader and it worked...

    I use "Virtual-Dub-Mpeg2" to Frameserve and "Tmpgenc Xpress 3.0.4.24" ...It is the AVI File reader that Loads the .vdr files so try disableing all of them accept the AVI file reader and see if that works...

    if you want to try Virtual-Dub mpeg2 you can get it here:
    Virtual-Dub-Mpeg2

    The last time I used VIRTUALDUB, it made the files WAAAAAAYYYYY to big!!

    I saw that after 3 minutes, the file was at 700mb. What can I do to fix this?

    If you do it Properly the file size will be the same as the original...

    You did not set the Video and audio to "Direct Stream Copy" and that is why the file was so huge....
