hi guys,

#well i hope someone has any idea,

i'm running winxp and win98 on one computer. on both systems is TMPGEnc-2.58.44.152 installed. so now here is the problem:

actually it is working fine in win98,

but on winxp if i try to encode mpg files i always get a message that this filetype is note supported.

bye the way the same file that is not working in winxp is encoding well in win98.


has anyone an idea how i can get around this cute little problem


thanx a lot

Do you have a DVD player software installed?
If not - install one and you get mpeg-2 decoding filters in your system. If you can play your mpg file in Windows Media Player then you already got the decoder installed.

First of all thanx, but

yes I do have a DVD player installed even that is the same as on win98.

but i'm not quiet sure if I discribed my problem right.

playing is not the issue here. lets try it that way;

if i wanna select the video source in TMPGEnc and this one is mpg1 or mpg2 and i want to convert e.g. an mpg2 into an mpg1 file, TMPG tells me it can read the mpg file that it should encode.

since it is perfect working in win98 with the same setting (if I can call that settings when I'm using the wizard), I have no idea what the heg is the problem.


I wouldn't care that much if i could read the ntfs disk from winxp. but so I have to do it in winxp.


thanx again for the fast answer

"TMPG tells me it can read the mpg file that it should encode."

"can" doesn't sound like a problem. If on the other hand you meant to say "can't", then check the environmental settings and see if MPEG2 plugin has a high priority. If not give it a higher one. That can fix it.

Secondly, I think what Ronny meant is that in having DVD player software installed you would typically have an MPEG2 decoder installed. However it is possible you don't, in which case you need to get one online. Several are online for free.

just read the message could be that your avi is a ac3 audio file
need to be ripped differently
vcdhelp can tell you that
by the way looking for a crack for that 2.58 tmpgenc release can you send over my email

I am having the same problem and am running xp. Did he upgrade to the sp1 in his xp?? I am thinking that might be the problem.

I get the same error message he does but I know the avi file is good as others have encoded it and I also went and got a previous one that I hAd encoded and it gave me the same error. It is in the software or we are lacking a code that xp sp1 stripped out.

Try installing the Nimeo codes, the 3 and 4 and change direct show in TMGenc to 2 and see if that will work. I am encoding an avi file now that for 2 days I have been trying to find the solution with the same error message you are getting.
