handbrake

A few days ago, I decided to reinstall Windows 7 as my HD partition seemed to be nearly full and things were slowing down. I'd been using Handbrake almost exclusively to convert TV recordings and used Freemake on occasion.

Following the reinstall, I can't get either to work:

Handbrake says it's encoding for about 2 seconds and then says it's finished, but there are no converted files of any size.
Freemake just says 'Conversion Error' and won't go any further.

As an experiment I tried two programs that I don't normally use, VideoReDo & Any Video Converter. Both worked fine.

Anyone got any clues?
