TMPGEnc plus Freezing

[Becky636]

Hi all,


I have searched and not found an answer to this one..

I have XP Home,
256 K RAM
60 gig hd
40 gig HD
2.2 HP
and TMPGEnc 2.5 plus
DVD2SVCD 1.1.3 Build 2
Philips CDD5301 DVD/CD RW

My DVD will rip and I get to encode ,However,

When TMPGEnc loads and starts it will freeze, example

I used Constant Quality , It will do the 1st test strip, and freeze.

I have to Cntr Alt Delete and close TMPGEnc .. Then it will reload and continue..

This could happen several times durring that session..


So I changed dvd2dvcd setting 2pass variable rate to see if that was a problem..

Same thing happened..

So I uninstalled DVD2SVCD and TMPGEnc 2.5
removed all regestry entries to thoes programs.

Reinstalled them..

same thing happens..

======

All the drivers on this computer are up to date :)

Any Ideas why it is happening? On this computer...

I have a dell 2300 also that this never happens to. The Dell never hangs while useing DVD2SVCD and TMPGEnc same progams the HP has a problem with..

Any ideas will be appricated.

Thank You

As far as I understood you are using dvd2svcd.

This program uses avisynth for frameserving.

At the moment, there are two versions of avisynth supplied with dvd2svcd 2.08 and 2.5.

Normally, you choose one version while installing dvd2svcd and dvd2svcd find the right plugins. If you mix up the plugins (using 2.08 plugins which 2.5 ore the other way round) it could(!) result to the problems you described.

So before no one answers you, try:
1. Use tmpgenc alone without dvd2svcd. Tmpgenc isn't known to be unstable, it's known for the opposite.

2. If you succeed with one, you have a problem with dvd2svcd or the tools supplied with it (my idea is avisynth).

Good luck
