TMPGE Problems

[dolomite41]

I just recentlly bought a laptop and i am in the process of installing all my programs that i need. I installed TMPGE and FDSHOW codec along with an AC3. I am having problems with loading in MPG files into the program, when i drag them over TMPGE, they do not come up in audio or video.....is there another codec that i need to make this happen...when i do this on my desktop computer i have no problems..any help would be great

Does it happen with both MPEG1 and MPEG2 files or only MPEG2?

drag them over tmpgenc? aren't you using the template? what is it exactly that your doing?

post file audio and video info on the files using virtualdub/mod

ok, well that is not a dvd-compliant mpg-2 file, which is why you want to convert it right?

what step by step procedures are you using?

which version of tmpgenc? (plus)? and again, are you using the wizard?

Type

I am using TMPGE plus 2,5.....it says when i put it in the wizard that it is not supported...I have the same version of TMPGE on my desktop and it seems to work fine...any help

are you getting an error message and if so what is it

[mastercontrol]

Are you able to actually play the file on your computer through something like Windows Media Player? In TMPGEnc, go to Option - Environmental Setting... and click the VFAPI tab. Check to see if there are any MPEG-2 decoders listed.

Codec

I think i found it.........under the Environmental settings, there is not mpeg 2 decoder listed...what is the best codec for this...all i have on my computer for video is the FFDSHOW

[LT. Columbo]

you need an mpeg-2 decoder, i use cyberlink....

since your setting up a new system, there is other useful things here as well as an mpeg-2 decoder.

Still Probs

Well i downloaded the ELcard MPEG2 codec and it still did not work...here is the screenshot of TMPGE Environmental settings...let me know if this is all i need in here or if i should set the prioritys in different ways

[LT. Columbo]

don't see an mpeg-2 decoder in the list, did you install that package, go through some sort of set-up?

[dolomite41]

Prob

I reinstalled it and it is still not in there....do i need anything special cause of my new system.....it is in my programs file as installed and it "add remove Programs" any suggestions

Doesn't TMPGEnc require that you purchase THEIR MPEG2 plugin?
