2.59 tmpgenc plus and mpeg2 invalid format

hi I installed tmpgenc plus 2.59.10 with powerdvd xp and want to crop an mpeg2 that was captured in SVCD sizing. It worked once. (Nero didnt like it so I had to re encode it). I installed a Powerdvd XP patch and then it stopped working and tmpgenc no longer recognises it as a valid file format. Can anyone explain what the folks at tmpgenc are doing to their software it seems to be going backwards in functionality and stability. Thanks Jeff:sly:

I had a similar problem, see thread: Not actually Pegasys' fault note the entry: At this point, I contacted Pegasys Inc. Turns out that Cyberlink has changed the specification, and so their mepeg-2 decoder no longer works with Tsunami. However, the following workaround does the trick: Load TMPGEnc, but do not open the mpeg-2 file. Open the file with Windows Media Player, run a few frames and then pause it. Leave WMP open, and then the mpeg-2 file should open in TMPGEnc without problem. WMP opens the file with DirectX, getting round the "overlay" output method.

hi Steve_g thanks for your help. I have installed Powerdvd Version 2.5 and removed WMedia player 9. I will try your recommendations too Regards Jeff
