Hi I could use some help with CQMatic:
I have had CQMatic working already today, but it suddenly stopped being able to run TMPGEnc. Things I have tried:
1 - I use 8.3 folder and file names in all cases, using v1.2.06
2 - am loading a working .avs file in TMPGEnc, after resetting project file
3 - select my output directory (8.3 also) in TMPGEnc
4 - load my KVCDx3 MPEG1 template
5 - confirm source range is de-selected
5 - save project as text
6 - launch CQMatic
7 - load project file
8 - set TMPGEnc location in Settings
9 - run CalcuMatic to get my time and bitrate, in this case 95/918.6, and enter them in CQMatic
10 - select X1/Prediction Only
11 - click Execute
I get the quick open and close problem. Then I tried deleting the .conf and .tpr files in the CQMatic directory and running through the whole process again. Same problem.
Here is the log:
