tmd to mpeg prob

[S3N71N3L]

Ok guys, simple problem, hopefully simple answer.

I've been using tmpgenc to convert my avi movies to mpeg so i can make VCDs. Had no trouble with the normal good ol divx dvd rips, everything went fine.

But when I tried to convert some TMD (the movie distro) movies to mpeg, all I got was a black screen. Also whenever I would first start it, it gave me an estimated completion time of 15 minutes or so, but normally it takes like "real time" to complete the conversion. I can watch the movies fine in their normal state, but after attempting to convert i cant.

TMD didnt seem to know what the problem was, so im here to ask some experts.

Ok im converting another one as we speak since i deleted the old one.

Now before we go through all this hassle, my question is do you think if i go ahead and burn it in2 a cd, will it work in my dvd player?

As I said earlier post the "file information" of your problematic files from Virtualdub.

If you can't view the file on your PC you won't be able to view it in your dvd player either.

When i opened it in virtualdub it says:

"Parsing interleaved mpeg file"
then
after that was done or whatever it was just a black screen in virtualdub still, i tried watching it in virtualdub but it didnt work.

heres the file info:

Does Virtualdub tell you what compression was used? Do you use FFDSHOW for playback?

when i opened it up with gspot it said
Video Codec: MPEG Video Decoder

i dont understand how to use that FFDSHOW program.
