no picture

[EzE126]

I get no picture!!!!!
TFM makes the whole process (audio, convertion and images) but when it converts the video i get a black screen with 2 red lines at the bottem. in the end i get image file for an hour and a half of mpeg audio, black screen and 2 red lines. becuz there is no pic the conversion ends on 400-600 mb.
I can't understand what's wrong.
I'm working on a intel p-4 1.5g win xp sp2. I use k-lite codecs and some kind of mpeg codec. TFM ver 1.3.

This is a codec problem. Wich codecs have you installed?
I've installed the latest codecs: xvid(www.koepi.org), divx(www.divx.com) and AC3 Filter. Before I had installed ffdshow and got the same problem as you. Now I don't have any problems at all by converting avi's

[EzE126]

thanx man i'll try it. at this point i'll try any thing...
do u have a mpeg codec installed?

[lmg475]

Yes, I have also installed MpegDecoder012.msi.
I have converted with the new codecs about 35 avi's, and all goes very well.

The Filmmachine is an easy to use and very good working program.
