    What type of AVI is it (DivX, Xvid?) as it makes all the difference.

    I have had similar problems with a number of avi files which are divx all i get is a mesg saying format not supported when i insert it in the video source box.In fact I have never actually managed to do anything with TMPGEnc .Will this programme give me dvd quality movies?? All I have managed to do with avi files so far is to make awful Vcd disks using Nero. Any help would be really appreciated

    It's divx i tried to do what it says on that page but i don't get it what does this mean "increase the priority to 1 or 2 or to the top of plugin-list and try open the video." i put it to the top of the list but nothing changed.

    What are the properties of the mpeg you got from encoding with TMPGEnc?

    I'm not sure what you mean the properties just say the size and the size of the disk?

    Load the mpeg into WMP then go to file then to properties and the details should be there.

    If not then get a program called AVIcodec then load the mpeg and at the bottom of the window will be a line item with the properties of the video and audio.

    Get AVIcodec from here:http://avicodec.duby.info/

    It seems like to me that you tried to burn the file as VCD according to the error you provided. The properties above are VCD format.

    Your mpeg is in SVCD format and must be burnt as an SVCD not VCD. That is why it is saying that the file is not in the proper Video CD format, because your file isn't in VCD format it is in SVCD format.


    Also I am not very familar with either one of those burning progs myself so you might want to wait for someone to answer with experience with those burning progs._X_X_X_X_X_[small] Want to test a Mans character? Give him Power! [/small]
