Per suggestion from PapaJohn, I have converted my external
drive to NTFS format (the internal 49 GB was already
NTFS), and re-booted the system. At the 50% completion
point the error "File 'drive/file info' Can not open or
unsupported" comes up and the program crashes. I finally
abandoned 2 pass and went CBR. The MPEG-2 conversion then
went well and authoring and DVD writing via
TMPGEncDVDAuthor produced very nice results. Even using
CBR, the TMPGEnc program creates and closes the desired
file but then crashes and I have to restart the program
for further use.
Although the TMPGEnc program does a great MPEG-2
conversion, it seems as though there may be some bugs in
it.
