Problems using SBC guide

[danjx]

I posted this in the TMPC forum, but have no response, so thought it may be more appropriate here. I hope someone can explain.

I thought I would start a Divx3/SBC project and studied the guide. I have most files required, as I use Gordian Knot for Divx5 encoding. I did not have the TMPG files, so I downloaded these, from the link in the guide:
TMPGEnc-2.58.44.152-Free-VFP.zip
TMPGEnc-2.58.44.152-Free.zip

The problem is their contents don't match the guide. The guide has an 'installation link' that explains how to set up VFAPI Converter.
"After unzipping you find 2 subdirectories: Codec and Reader."
However, Neither of tha above zip files contains any subdirectories matching those names.

Further:
"The Reader directory contains the actual application (VFAPIConv-EN.exe)". I cannot find that file in either zip file.

What am I missing?

I bet you don't need TMPGEnc... ;) unless you plan to IVTC your movie with TMPGEnc, bypass this section and just open your .d2v with nandub through avisynth (by creating an .avs script file, with Gordian Knot, for instance). This will avoid an unuseful YUV -> RGB conversion and is likely to be faster too.

Alas, this is an anime project and I will need to IVTC the video. I suppose I can use IVTC 2.2, as I know how to set that up in the AVS file. Still, I would like to follow the guide.

yeah, I agree, if you plan to IVTC, don't do it with TMPGEnc, it's useful only for manual IVTC... decomb.dll does it just great :) you can find zounds of threads here about decombing with avs... ;)
