View Full Version : Encoding captured avi directly to mpeg in TMPGenc

I have a question I wonder if anyone can help me with. I've got an old videotape I'd like to backup to DVD format. I capture the tape using Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5. However, when trying to convert the captured video to mpeg with TMPGenc, the program does not recognize the captured file as a valid avi.

The only way I can do it is to actually render the whole video in Premiere (which takes a long time) and then export the video to avi (which takes a long time) and only then convert to mpeg. Why is this, and is there any way to save the time it takes me to do this?

This lets you get video from Premiere's timeline to TMPGEnc without needing to encode/render to any AVI files.
