What I found when using TMPGEnc was to start TMPGEnc with a "Clean" slat, by that I mean open TMPGEnc, File > New Project, it will ask if you want to "Clear" all presets, click OK, load your avs or d2v file, select your KVCD Template, set up your MAX/MIN settings, save your new porject as a text project. At least for me this holds down some of my errors when useing CQMatic. Hope this will help others.

Hi Bud..

Nah, if you REALLY want to start w/ a CLEAN slate, do the following, in order
to maintain backup and other configs and things, and to keep what you have
just in case you need to verify/compare results OR return to:

* rename your current TMPG folder location
---ie, if TMPGEnc v2.520, change to bkTMPGEnc v2.520

* NOW, install the latest TMPG version, and let it choose the folder location.

NOW take this TMPG folder, and make a backup copy of it,
Example:
* copy TMPGEnc v2.50 to TMPGEnc v2.50 (FRESH) and place it where
it can be easily found and reproduced.

This way, if anything goes wrong, you can always return to your previous
working TMPG copy, by just a RENAMEing of the folders

Then, follow this by copying whatever templates, matrices and .dll files you have
from previous TMPG (renamed) folder.. should be the last step in the chain.


If you're curious what my practice is like:
Assuming my current TMPG folder is --> TMPG v2.520
* Inside the folder, I copy all files and folders to a backup folder,
....preserving the functional habbits of TMPG..
Example:
--- copy TMPG to TMPG (BK.080803)

Note, I'm still testing this process as I go along. So, factor that into your
equation, cause I could change at the blink of an eye


-- -- -- -- -- -- Question for anybody -- -- -- -- -- --

* Does anybody KNOW EXACTLY what reg settings are being:
--- created and revised ??

For the freshest install, these .reg will have to be cleared also

Given the above, I'd write an app just for this, so we don't have to go through
the whole motion of re installing everthing. I wouldn't trust the uninstall
that comes w/ most anything, becuase they usually leave the .reg entires
alone.

Thanks a bunch all,

Thanks for your comments, but I always maintain a "Back-Up" (original) of anything I use in the making of KVCD, including all original Templates, Scripts, and programs. I have placed all these on a Data CD and it's in a secure place. So if I do run into problems i just do uninstall for the program, run a Reg cleaning program and re-install from the CD. You do have some very good pointers.

@ Bud,

Thanks..

I was only trying ta help w/ the "headache" of things, you know.

Anyways, if you ever do come accros those .reg settings that TMPG uses,
please do let me know, as I still want to develope that app to clean these
out anyways. I had the idea of implementing an "all around" kind of app
that clears those common .reg entries (after an uninstall) ..much like the
one from Hauppauge and their VFW .reg cleanup app

Thanks again,
