my TMPEnc will no longer make MPEGs 2 but i didn´t test the SVCDs so far :(
Is there a possiblity to make MPEGs with TMPEnc after the period ?
or some other progs that are free ?

Thx

hi Bug-C,

TMPGEnc. is now in version 2.5(i think) and since version 1.2a it has only allowed .mpeg2 encoding for a trial period of 30 days to keep on the good side of the mpeg2 authority chappies.
so you have a few options;-

1--have a look for a reg edit to enable another 30 day trial
2--complete re install
3--use version1.2a

have a look here:-

hth ;)

It's a little wierd, the software is freeware, the SVCD capability is also freeware, but it's coded to expire. Probably to force everone to download the newest version. :confused:

So as this isn't a hack, crack or other nasty :D here's the fix,
Use Reg Edit to enter the registry, search for and delete this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID\ 63902277-B101-4049-8B46-C24B67E155E5

Yes I've done it & I've had no problems. With this entry gone TMPGEnc will happily encode MPEG2 (SVCD) for another 30 days. :tup:

Just something to add to that... Once you locate the key in the registry I suggest that you add it to the favourites so that you can easily find it once another 30 days has expired.

ok thx @ all

btw i also found a working crack at ***********.
