I used TMPEnc to convert an asf file to MPEG-1. After a four day process it still wasn't fully able to be burned. The software I'm using is Easy Cd Creator Platinum 5. When I go to burn it, there are 2 unacceptable factors which need to be changed. "Frame rate" which it says was unavailable, but I clearly remember the software sayin 60 fps. The second factor is "System clock reference" which is 1084. I followed the instructions 100% but I can't seem to figure out what the deal is with those two factors. can someone help me.

Also is the a faster encoder? As I mentioned above, it took 4 days to complete the process.

try www.vcdhelp.com I think based on the frame rate you state, you should be converting this to an mpeg2 not mpeg1. It should be an SVCD not a VCD you are trying to create. Depending on your OS, EZCD 5.0 is lousy with Win98...try using Nero 5.5 instead.

The best way to do this is to convert the ASF file to AVI format first. That'll solve the problem with it taking four days. The tool I finally found to do this for free is AsfTools. When I tried to access their site, the download section was down, so I searched and finally found it at a Chinese(?) site called Souxin.com

It will also fix any problems with the ASF file so that TMPEnc can process it without a glitch.

Good luck!
