Alrighty, up till about 4 days ago, this little piece of crap has been working normally. Then, suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, it stopped recognizing the audio in my AVI files. It would open the video as usual, allow me to resize and add borders and whatnot, but neither the Preview or the actual resulting MPEG file had any audio stream. And it wasn't just some new files I was trying to recode; older files that I recoded as MPEG on the very same program without a hitch weeks ago wouldn't work. At the beginning I spent the extra time opening each individual file in VirtualDub and creating an individual audio stream, but that got really annoying and I started getting playback problems from certain files.
So like the self-destructive video editor that I am, I jumped the gun and just tried to uninstall and reinstall DivX, uninstall and reinstall the Matroska pack, and uninstall and reinstall TMPGEnc itself. Not only did that not fix the problem, but now TMPGEnc won't even OPEN half the AVI files that it used to. I either can a "Only the audio part could be opened" message, or, if it can even open the file, the resulting MPEG is pixelated shit. If I try to recode Elfen Lied, first off it has to take a minute to read the video index or whatever (TMPGEnc used to be able to process it almost instantly) any time there are fine lines on the screen (i.e. a closed mouth or a wire fence) they become pixelated, dotted lines, which is oddly exactly how my My HiME episodes kept coming out before I originally installed the Matroska pack months ago. So I have all the proper codecs (all of my actual video players are working perfectly fine) but TMPGEnc chooses to be retarded and not use them for some reason.
Plllllz tell me there's a way to get TMPGEnc functioning as it fully was without having to restore my entire system to fix some sort of massive codec argument.
