When trying to start the encoding process TMPGEnc brings this message up... "To playback MPEG-2 file, DVD software needs to be installed on your system. MPEG-2 files cannot be played withouth this software."

I have a DVD-Rom shouldn't that be enough? And everytime I try to bypass the message and continue trying to encode, TMPGEnc freezes up and doesn't respond.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Usually Operating System s (like Win XP) should have this feature. But my old PC, who hadn't a DVD reader, hadn't neither AC3 support neither DVD files (MPEG-2) reading capabilities (some applications like WinDVD or even WMA automatically load those A/V codecs).
Can you check your OS? Alas, i cannot. I don't know anything about this stuff. If you use WinXP you can ask here: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp .

No, a DVD-ROM is not enough.
Tmpgenc will always throw that message at you, if it can't find, or doesn't recognize a true software DVD player on your system.
Just put a tick in the box to ignore that message from now on. It's annoying, and useless.
As for the freezing, it could be from a corrupt source AVI, unrecognizable audio, or missing codec.

It used to work and all of a sudden since yesterday once it goes to encode, it will freeze up and it will stop responding.

The 'freezing' could be causing from a deletion of a sub-directory you used before with TMPGenc (solutions: 1) delete TMPGenc.ini file - but you'll have to re-set of the VFAPI plug-in priorities, after that, or 2) edit TMPGenc.ini with Notepad and change:

ProjectOpenDialog.InitialDir="C:\path1"
ProjectSaveDialog.InitialDir="C:\path2"
VideoSourceDialog.InitialDir="C:\path3"
AudioSourceDialog.InitialDir="C:\path4"
SaveOutputDialog.InitialDir="C:\path5"

into

ProjectOpenDialog.InitialDir="C:\"
ProjectSaveDialog.InitialDir="C:\"
VideoSourceDialog.InitialDir="C:\"
AudioSourceDialog.InitialDir="C:\"
SaveOutputDialog.InitialDir="C:\"

just to clean the 'memory of the directories used' a little.
(keep a backup copy of the TMPGenc.ini file, just to be sure you don't do nothing wrong)

Is this solution valid?
