Nope , That link just Has Tmpgenc + English Patch.
Ive had no trouble finding those files , Its Just the damn vfp plugin! Grrrrrrr
Thanks for trying though

Can anyone else track down this mystery plug?

"Thanks for trying though"

My pleasure - soory it doesn't satisfy your needs.

Just curious - what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this "prior-to-MPEG2-support" version of TMPGEnc (12c was the first to provide MPEG2 support)?

[zeuss]

Actually , beta 12a is the last version to have Free Unlimited Mpeg2 encoding...
And some belive that it is better than 2.59plus etc...
Ive seen some examples of stills taken from bother vers mentioned above.. suprising resaults.

I need the plug to load dvd2avi project file because the VFAPIConverter dont seem to wanna work with this ver.

oh well

Actually, although v.12C has a 30 day limitation regarding MPEG2 encoding, it is far better than v.12A (and, it seems, better than all of the subsequent versions 2.xx). The improvements (versus v.12A) made in v.12C were as follows:

Version : Beta12c. 2001/02/19


Supports SSE2 in Pentium4
Fixed problem : when encoding MPEG, TMPG keeps using more RAM.
Supports encoding 320x240, non-interlace movie at "Convert to 24 fps automatically" command.
TMPG now judges movie files in different folders are identical (if binary is same.)
At "Convert to 24 fps automatically" command, cache is saved to project file too.
When encoding, even if "Convert to 24 fps automatically" has done, the setting won't be disabled.
At force picture type setting, motion search precision can be changed on the way.
At Quantize Matrix, editing DC component of Intrablock is disabled. (even if edited, it won't be reflected.)
TMPG now can sampling rate conversion with wavefs44, WTC and SCMPX.
Supports external encoder MP3Enc.
Preview can be shown at "file menu" > "Preview" even if filter is disabled.
At user interface, user can choose language.
Fixed problem : TMPG could not read Type-1 DV AVI file whose audio is 48000Hz.
Fixed problem : TMPG could not start without quartz.dll included in DirectShow runtime.
Fixed problem : there is an error when user who does not have administrator rights started TMPG under WinNT/2000.
Fixed problem : there is an error when different channel number is selected at ACM codec select window.
TMPG now is able to read AVI, WAV whose audio is CCITT A-Law.
Fixed problem : TMPG could not read AVI file whose chunk size of RIFF is not multiple of 2.
Change error message when VFM, ACM codec was not able to initialized.
Supports reading JPEG files.
Supports reading sequence JPEG files.
Fixed problem : when outputting sequence TGA files, the movie is updise-down.
Supports reading sequence TGA files with detecting the direction of image.
Fixed problem : when outputting WAVE, BMP or AVI, the file name comes with 2 periods (such as 123..wav).
Fixed problem : At custom color collection, if user executes more gamma correction or use more than 2 color spaces, memory access error occurs.
At custom color collection, to clip top/bottom color value, add "Set Max value"
"Set Min value" and "Clip top/bottom of brightness" command.
Supports clip frame setting and background color setting to put movie. (This can be done at clip frame setting dialog.)
Supports setting with preview in actual aspect ratio which is outputted at clip frame setting.
At ghost erase, shade off parameter has been added. This helps to remove shaded ghost (but not fast yet).
At ACM access part of outputting WAVE, AVI, TMPG now ignores an error if it occurs at the end of encoding.
TMPG converts number of audio channels by its own.
Fixed problem : TMPG could not use MAENC as external encoder properly.
Fixed problem : at automatic GOP split (this is done automatically when GOP is too long), copy B picture part (frame) is splited. This function has improved.
Supporting multiplex MPEG Audio which as ID3 tag.
Fixed problem : while batch encoding, even if project is set "done", the project is started.
TMPGENC.VFP plug-in is now registered to TMPGEnc, not to batch file. Put TMPGEnc.vfp at the same folder as TMPGEnc.exe, then run TMPGEnc.exe, this will register the plug-in.

I stand semi-corrected

But thats good to know , should fix my vfp prob any way.

Just the 30 day thing to worry about now.
(Because ive always been a ligitimate software user...cough cough)

Im Presuming your comparing MPG2 in the versions you mentioned? Is v12c aslo considered best for mpg1?


Oh , one more thing..
Did you view my other post in vcd/encoding , maybe you know the trick for that one too?

[setarip]

"Is v12c aslo considered best for mpg1?"

In my experience, yes...

[zeuss]

Do you know where to get 12c ?

[setarip]

I'd suggest you do a Google search for "TMPGEnc 12c"

[zeuss]

Have done
he he , im not that much of a newb...

All the searches ive done come up with news archives and old forum posts , but i will keep my web-eyes open.

Cant seem to find a cr*ck for it either...
oh well.

Just thought you may know a source

[setarip]

"Cant seem to find a cr*ck for it either... "

That's not something to be discussed or mentioned at these forums...

[zeuss]

cr*ck = cruck
its a made up word that means 'web site'

[setarip]

Sure...
