illegal floating decimal point calculation order

[betsybee]

Hello,
New at this... so i'm hoping that someone that knows TPMG fairly well can help with this.
i had no problems encoding my first movie but i've had problems encoding the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. i've been getting the 'illegal floating decimal point calculation order' error msg after encoding about 90% of the movies.
these are the option setting i use:

to mpeg1 video
352 x 240 size
23,976 frame rate
4:3 ntsc aspect

Can someone pls tell me what exactly that error msg means, if it can be fixed and how to make it work?

Thanks!

Hi, betsy. I think I have the solution to your problem. The file itself is a bit flawed, which is why it's being dumb. If you go to http://www.divx-digest.com/software/divfix.html, you can download DivFix. Make a copy of your file, for safety :P Then open it in DivFix. Click the "Strip Index" button, and then the "Rebuild Index" button. This should detect any flaws in your file that would cause the bug in TMGEnc.

You would be surprised how many files are a bit flawed ^_^

When I doctor my files like this, the error message always goes right away.

Hope it works!! Let me know!

;) Hi doc!
I have tried divfix but it didn't help me - 3 times.
what i ended up doing is using virtualdub to delete the bad frames...oh well....
thanks for your reply!

^_^; oh well, sorry it didn't work for you. but if virtual dub works, it's all good :P

[doctorwu]

say, I'm curious ...

how do you edit your .avi using virtualdub?

:P curiosity killed the cat, didn't it ...

[betsybee]

you play the movie in virtual dub. it will jam up if you have bad frames. so, you delete the bad frames with the menu options and save it under another name so you know which one to use later for conversion. hope it helps :)

Thanks!! Knowledge is power :P or something corny like that

Guys I think I have solved the problem. Please let me know if this worked as I was getting All these errors Illegal floating point error and ACM initialisation error. Any how this is how I sorted the damn thing. I disabled the AVIsynth/Virtualdub Script reader v0.1 in the VFAPI plug-in in the Environmental setting under options in Tmpg. Woohooo:smashead:

Mrsash - this thread is 4 years old! I would hope it has been solved in that time.

I know but I could not find anything that was working including scanning the video to see if it has errors, which it didn't so just thought it might be helpful for some other person(s).
