TMPGEnc express and windows 7

[MILLZY]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section! My problem is that since installing windows 7 TMPGEnc express will not open any mkv files at all.It keeps saying cannot open file only audio.I have tried several files but to know avail.I have been on the website and it say it is supported in windows 7.The only codecs i have ever used is ffdshow and Halli splitter with no probs.Any help please:confused:

MKV is a container format. It could be anything inside the files, be it an Xvid AVI, or raw H.264 (the two most common I see).
You should download CCCP from http://www.cccp-project.net/

Assuming you already have that installed though.. To open in TMPGenc, you need to install AviSynth, and create an .AVS file with this code, in the same directory as your MKV

***In filename.avs****
DirectShowSource("filename.mkv")

********************

there are other options you can use, but that generally is all you need.
The great thing about this method is you can use it to frame serve practically any video file you can play, into a program that usually does not support it.

CCCP includes FFDshow and Hali and all that stuff and is pretty solid as far as a single codec pack solution goes.
I use AviSynth to serve MKV's into TMPGenc Xpress all the time. But it can sometimes be a little buggy, so you should save your project often until you are able to anticipate an action causing a bug and know what to avoid doing.. (it can be random sometimes)

If mkv cannot be open via directshow, neither can DirectShowSource.
