I was wondering how to view the current file size of an encode in TMPGenc while i'm still in the process of encoding? I want to view the current file size early in the encode process to know if it will fit on one cd before i finish the entire process.

well, when i tried windows explorer, or right clicking and viewing properties, it says 0 kb. I think it's because it's not done encoding. Ive seen other people on here say that their encodes are at XX% and the file size is at xxxmb. I was just wondering how they figured that out.

well, thanks for the replies, but i've tried all of that, and still nothing happens. It just says 0 kb until its done encoding.

What OS do you use? I use XP, and I just click "refresh" and it updates the file size.

Well, I suggest you upgrade, at least to XP home edition.
XP ( prof. or home ) are the most stable ( of the complete unstable branch  ) of Microsoft products.

If you have the disk space, do the following.
In Windows Explorer, select the file, control-C, control-V.
While the original is "0 bytes", the copy has the actual file size. When you want to check the file size again delete the copy and make a new one.
You can preview the copy also.

I have done the copy/paste when downloading .AVI files and it works, but i tried it with the mpg during the encoding process, and it wont work, it says its in use by another program or something like that.

To quote from the website:
"TMPGEncCalc is a simple GUI enhancement for TMPGEnc which attempts to get the size of the output file and remaining free space on the target drive while encoding (all in real-time). I say "attempts" because this script relies on calls to the OS to determine file-sizes. Sometimes it can't read the file due to file-locks on the file and reports 0 bytes erroneously. You can attempt to gauge the size by watching the free disk space indicator. The refresh rate of the file-size and the disk-space remaining is slow due to the OS not refreshing this information faster, not because TMPGEncCalc doesn't poll frequently. Sometimes clicking on the TMPGEncCalc window makes it refresh."
