Is there a way from within the program to delete files that have been imported from a dvd? I can't see one, so I have been deleting them by hand from the "C:\Users\username\Documents\TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3\DVD Imports" folder.
When using `simple' demux tool from MPEG editor3, when I run an mpg file thru, I get *.ac3 for the audio portion.... how can I tell TMPGenc to give me *.wav format?
I don't see any way to make a decision about format inside the `simple or advanced demux dialogs.
All that is possible there is to select a source file
You can't. That simply means that ac3 is the audio format that your video uses, so that's what it's going to be demuxed as. It doesn't convert audio or video formats, it just turns them into separate files.
You can use "iOrgSoft 3GP Video Converter",It automatically converts almost all kinds of video files such as AVI to 3GP, WMV to 3GP, MPEG to 3GP, as well as other popular video formats such as MP4, MOV, ASF, DivX, XviD etc.
Features
1.iOrgSoft 3GP Video Converter affords many amazing editing functions such as: movie trimming, video effect adjusting, aspect ratio selection and so forth.
2.This 3GP Video Converter is so easy to use that almost everyone can use it. Just a few of clicks, you can convert your videos to 3GP video with excellent quality!

This is quite a lamer question... but I'm somewhat mystified by the `cut-editor'.
After loading a clip of recorded TV, I expected to be able to remove the commercial easily as advertised on tmpgenc home pages.
However, I have not been able to see how to do the most basic step. How to make a selection. The help file mentions things that can be done with a selection in many places.. but appears never to tell how to make a selection.
The tools offered.... Keyframe and clip-split appear to have nothing to do with selecting. Setting either before and after an unwanted section does not select it.
Ctrl mouse drag does not select Shift does not select.
AFter setting keyframes or split frames .. If I press the scissor tool, I'm told the entire clip is selected and I cannot proceed.
Clearly I'm missing some really basic information here.
Googling for `Tmpgenc Mpeg editor Tutorial'... hasn't turned up anything that looks useful either. It turns up dozens of illegal downloads, rapidshare etc etc cracks and so on... but nothing that looks like a good turorial.
So what am I missing... in order to do basic selecting?
1.) Navigate to the first frame you want to cut, then click the "set start frame button" (bottom row, to the left of the scissor button).
2.) Navigate to the last frame you want to cut, then click the "set end frame button" (bottom row, to the right of the scissor button).
3.) The section you want to cut should now be the only thing selected (it's the blue section in the slider and the frames in the thumbnail film strip are highlighted blue/purple).
It shouldn't verify each and every time you use it, unless you don't use it often.
If your internet if down, you're SOL.
Not sure what would happen if they went out of business. If that ever happens, I'd hope that they get rid of the validation process.
This program only works with MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video. You have to remember that this software is not a video converter, so by default, your input format is going to be the same as the output format. It may change the file structure/container to fit the output format, but the actual video data will remain the same in general.
Your output options depend on the video's dimensions, framerate, bitrate, etc.
If it is DVD-Video compliant, you can use the DVD-Video output option and burn to DVD if you wish.
If it is Blu-ray compliant, you can do the same with the Blu-ray ouptut option.
If your video is not compliant with anything, you can choose the MPEG output option and choose "Common MPEG file" as the output target.
Click on the Smart rendering analyzer button to see how much of your video will be re-encoded and how much will be left untouched. Edited video will re-encode the sections at the beginning and end of the cut area.
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Currently saving an MPEG file where the image size is non compliant for DVD output prevents the user from outputting their project as an MPEG file for DVD ('MPEG2 Progam' I assume). Please change this to a pop-up warning that explains that this may result in video that can't play on some DVD players etc. but still ALLOWS the creation of the file if the user wishes to continue. ie. Let me output non-compliant video if I want to, rather than forcing me into an extremely narrow template!
LONG DESCRIPTION:
The source MPEG files I have to work with have an image size of 544x576. They are encoded with a ratio of 4:3 so they display fine. I use TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 to trim the files as necessary and sometimes splice two files together to eliminate visual errors in one source that are not present in another. Everything is great until I wish to output the files. Because the image size is not part of the standard DVD sizes I am forced to output as 'Common MPEG File'. This produces a file that then needs to be re-encoded (or at least requires time to process it again) when I later create a DVD. It would be good if the editor could be changed so that this compliance is not so strictly enforced as to be impossible to achieve what the user wants. Instead it would be better if users were warned of the possible consequences of their actions, but given the choice. My experience with DVD's burned with these non-compliant image sizes has been positive and I would appreciate being able to output my project as an 'MPEG for DVD' if I want to. Otherwise my time and workflow have to increase significantly - a little disappointing considering the price of the software. Being 'user friendly' is good - until it removes important power of choice from the user.
PS. I am assuming that TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 is capable of producing DVD compliant MPEG2 files that don't need reencoding/processing? When I output an elementary stream of audio+video, and then combine them via the Multiplexer in the MPEG Tools, the file still comes out needing reencoding even though I chose MPEG2 Progam as the output from the drop down menu. If I take the same streams and combine them in Avidemux (a free piece of software I might add...) and chose MPEG PS (program stream) it produces the correct file that does not need reencoding... Whats wrong with TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3?
If you want to output non-compliant MPEG-2 then using using the "Common MPEG file" should be fine for your needs. Being able to select "MPEG file for DVD" and then choosing to keep it non-complaint wouldn't change anything because you'd essentially want the exact same file. In other words, what exactly do you want to change about the file?
I guess I just don't understand what the problem is; you have a non-compliant MPEG-2 file and you want to output it as a non-compliant MPEG-2 file. Using "Common MPEG file" does that.
What program are you using to create your DVD's? That's the program that needs to accept non-compliant video and keep it non-compliant.
If you're talking about the DVD-Video output profile, then your problem makes a bit more sense, since you can actually burn a disc using that profile.
I'm sorry if my explanation was not as clear as it could be. I'll try to make it a bit more understandable, even though I don't expect the outcome with the MPEG editor to change anytime soon.
Essentially I need TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 to output an MPEG with the correct structure for it to be burnt straight to DVD without any re-encoding. I assume the 'DVD-VIDEO' and/or the 'MPEG for DVD' options do this. Unfortunately, as it stands, TMPEGEnc MPEG Editor 3 will not let me use these options if the image size is not part of the DVD standard, hence my problem as mentioned previously.
A DVD player will happily play an MPEG with the correct structure and a non-standard image size. It will not so happily play an MPEG with the wrong structure. A 'Common MPEG' file has the wrong structure, hence the need for re-encoding. I know little about these things but I suspect it is due to the fact that a Common MPEG does not have a header at the start of every GOP like a DVD MPEG file does (That was the best conclusion I could come up with after comparing a Common MPEG file from TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 with a known compliant DVD MPEG file, using MPEG Inspector).
Having to re-encode, or, more accurately, re-structure the files outputted by TMPGEnc MPEG Editor is a nuisance, and adds extra time to my work-flow. I would love to see Pegasys modify the editor to put some more power/choice into my hands instead of the current inflexible options. It only needs to be as simple as ALLOWING non-standard image sizes when creating an 'MPEG for DVD' and creating ONE simple warning pop-up if they wish to.
When trying to save as MPEG file I am stopped with message 'VBV buffer size too large for selected level'. How can I reduce the VBV buffer size so I can save the file? I have tried reducing the picture quality significantly but this makes no difference.
How fast can I make a 50 minute DVD with Tmpgenc. I am interested in using this product to make DVDs from mpeg-2 files from my Sony hard drive camcorder. The files were shot in Standard Definition /Standard Quality. The files are of sports events. I do not want to edit the files, but simply rearrange the files. I would also like to have each file in its own chapter. I tried this with editors not specific for editing mpeg, but it took forever to get the job done.
It will be very fast since this product does not re-encode your video. However, since it is not an encoder, your source video must be compliant with whatever output format you're going with.
I suggest you download the trial and try it for yourself. I believe you can go through the whole process of creating a test DVD, but the your video must be less than 30 minutes (just a limitation of the trial version).
I was wondering, if there's possible for future releases add Audio Leveling by RMS tecnique? and .VOB support (Main cases it opens .VOB, but not allways)
Those are 2 things i miss... Everything works perfectly...
Aloha! I would like to know if the DVD-RAM files I edit in MPEG Editor 3 can then be burned to an ordinary DVD-R disc, or if they have to be copied back to a DVD-RAM disc? In other words, can I convert these RAM files to DVD-R? Email me if you want.
