When you downloaded TMPGEnc, did you download and install the required companion VFAPI file?

[tweed]

No... I just wasn't sure what to download... I downloaded virtual dub and I have the TMPGEnc... what is this file that I need??

[setarip]

At the TMPGEnc homepage download area, in addition to the zip of the TMPGEnc program, you'll see a reference toa companion "VFAPI" file. read the brief onscreen instructions regarding propoer installation and then download and install it in your TMPGEnc folder...

Thanks for your help!! I could only get some of my 'avi' files to work though.. is there a reason for this??

[setarip]

My pleasure ;>}

Since you haven't provided any specific information, I can only speculate that some of your .AVIs contain audio streams in formats that TMPGEnc (such as Variable Bit Rate MPEG3), or were compressed using video codecs that you don't have installed on your system, or were compressed with the recently released DivX v.5 codec...

Thanks again for the quick reply!! I don't remember the exact error message, but I'll post it when I get to my computer at home.

Another quick question I have is 'how can I speed up the conversion time from .AVI to MPEG-1??'

"how can I speed up the conversion time from .AVI to MPEG-1?"

Forgive the obvious response - a faster computer ;>}
