Im having a problem here, im re-encoding xvid to mpeg2 for a DVD, and it works but lets say a video is 4 minutes, its only doing a 1:30 or so correctly then sits on a single frame the rest of the time.

hey im new to this program and i resize .avi files by hardly anything and it takes about 4 hours or more for a 20 minute video. is there a way i can make it go faster? k thanks :-D

I own TMPGEnc Express and have used it successfully for many years to enocde DV AVI files to MPEG2 program streams. I wanted to re-encode HD MPEG2 transport stream files (CBR 25000) to HD MPEG2 program stream files (same bitrate). The program allowed me to input an HD MPEG2 transport stream file, but the encoding engine only allows CBR bitrates up to 15000. Is this an artificial limit, or is the program simply not written to handle bitrates higher than 15000?

Not sure about the express version as I don't use it, but the limit is set by the Profile & Level you are using. If you want to go higher you have to use a higher profile. I doubt TMPG express has this facility only TMPG plus.

I own TMPGEnc MPEG Editor, and have successfully used it to edit HDV files. It input the HD MPGE2 transport stream files from my Sony HD camcorder, edit them, then create HD MPEG2 program stream files with a minimum of re-encoding. However, I don't see this capability in your list of features - did TMPGEnc MPEG Editor create my HD MPEG2 program stream files correctly but you just don't advertise this feature, or are these files corrupted in some way?

Note that TSUNAMI MPEG Media Editor does make it clear that it supports HDV files, and will save them to HD MPEG2 program streams. Is the TMPGEnc MPEG Editor exactly the same product without the box, so it works in exactly the same way.

And why isn't the TSUNAMI MPEG Media Editor available for download?

can i get screen caps with this program??

thanks in advance

Yes.
Load the source, set the resolution you wish to capture at then click File>preview then move to the frame you want and right click on it and select 'copy to clipboard'.
Paste into any image program.

I use TMPEnc Plus 2.5 and it was running ok for several months.
But now, when I start encoding a movie, when the progress bar reaches 100%, it stop and freeze. I have to force quit the application. And the resultin mpeg file runs without any audio.
I have unistalled TMPGenc and re-installed it again, but the problem remains.
What is the problem here?

Just leave it. You need to give it time to write the headers. Go and have a coffee or somthing as it can take a while with some files.
Either way that won't be the reason you have no sound, that is another problem. Probably aa source that TMPG can't decode such as AC3 or sometimes even VBR Mp3.

But the source file I was using is a Quicktime movie, with the same codec I always use for years. In the past I had no problem at all.
I had never to wait too long for the application write the headers.
It is a strange sintom.

I want to record some tv programs and then convert to pal DVD to send to family in italy.
If I captured in mpeg 2 I got an error message, so I tried mpedg vcd and it converts it, but to two files .. a m2v and a wav. I don;t what i will do with 2 files.

Using wintv 2000 on a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150 to capture.

Anysuggestion will be appreciated.

Cange the audio output to MP2 instead of PCM.

For some reason when I convert rm to mpg I get the video but no audio. Does anyone know why?

I had the same problem the first time. Did you ever solve the problem ?


Thanks,

TMPG is unable to decode RM audio. You will need to convert the audio to wav first.

Well,
That's fine, but the movie is one avi file. Can I pull the audio out ?

use goldwave then save audio as wav or mp3 then multiplex it in tmpgenc with your rm video already converted to m1v
:)

any other softwares to convert RM audio file? not so familiar with Goldwave...

Hello...Is there a way to easily add all mpeg files in various subfolders to a batch project? I have a folder with many subfolders containing mpeg files and the only way i can figure out how to add them to a batch project is one by one which is very tedious. Any help would be appreciated :)

I'm trying to determine if I have the highest possible encoding TMPgenc settings for a DVD sold on the internet. How can I find this information?
Thanks.

I have been a happy TMPEG user for several years now, and recently experienced a very strange problem.

I make VCD's/DVD typical and I've never had any problems, however I recently updated TMPEG to the latest version and now it is misreading my AVI files length. For example, an avi that is 30 minutes long, it was think it's 90 minutes long, it is always misreading by approximately 3 times the length. This of course causes problems because the output file is 3 times bigger than it needs to be.

Any help would be appreciated.

I was getting the 3x file issue, and also my files had no audio.

This advice sorted the 3x issue (I was working around this by selecting all but the last couple of seconds of the clip to encode) and also the audio! Thanks very much for a great product.

I am using Tmpgenc Autor for about 2 years an have had only the problem with two audio streams and 16:9 menues. So I have bought the PRO version. But this program is so very slowly you will get nuts. (I have a Pentium IV 3Ghz 512Mb) The video display is not able to play the movie in realtime. Every 10 sec. an errormessage ->the audiodelay ....<-
