request for the software it self, well the mpgtools, merge & cut, can we add the frames into it aswell as the time so it can be cut according to frames and not time cheers
Make sure you have a compatible Mp3 codec installed such as the Radium mp3 codec. If that doesn't work extract the audio to a wav with Virtualdub or something similar and use that as the audio.
I'm using TMPGEnc 2.521. I've tried older versions with the same result. I'm using the DivX 5.1 codec. I've tried 5.05 and 4.12 with the same result (uninstalling all codecs but the one being tested).
Initially TMPGEnc reported my 85 min movie was 235 minutes, but after promoting Directshow to priority 1 under Environmental Settings this problem went away.
Problem: I am starting with the base VCD encoding settings and then altering the video and audio bitrates to make an 85 minute movie fit on one VCD. No matter what I change the bitrates to, the MPG1 file created is nearly 900 MB versus the 700 MB that the calculator determines. The original movie is a DivX AVI.
You need to make sure the stream setting is set to 'MPEG1 VCD(non standard)' when using a non standard VCD bitrate or padding will be added to the file.
If you have already encoded the movie then run it through the 'simple multiplexer'. This will remove the padding and reduce the file size.
That was it - although I had been setting the bit rates manually, still needed to go one more tab and set the system stream to non-standard as well. Thanks for the help.
Mod - please set this to a "Question". Apologies for bad posting, I have flagellated myself accordingly.
Ok don't get sarcy and cut out the language 'A$$'. You may need more help in the future and you won't get it with that attitude.
It just gets a tad annoying when people who don't know how to use TMPG properly post their problems as bugs and makes it harder for the author to correct real problems not just user errors.
Hi, I'm editing my home video's, using Pinnacle Studio 8. For Quality reasons I make an AVI file from Pinnacle, which I then want to encode to SVCD format, using TMPEGenc, after which I burn the SVCD using Nero. After doing this the picture (that is fine as a AVI file) is horizontally streched. Any tips on how to avoid this or otherwise on other ways of improving the result in SVCD format after editing my video's using Pinnacle?
I have installed VobSub 2.3, and have seen that when avi with its subtitles in the same directory and with the same name, TMPGenc obtains the subtitles directly.
It is a new possibility of TMPGEnc if I have installed VobSub?
Before VirtualDub like frameserver or a project of avisynth used, but now it is much more easy.

Hello guys, has anyone been able to copy the new lion king dvd (2 disc special edition)? i ripped the files like i normally do with smart ripper. Then tried to process it with dvd2one, but it gave the message about copy the dvd to harddrive so as to decypt it first. it's like i am trying to process straight from a dvd disc. anyone know whats going on?
Well It might not be the DVD But DVD2One...One way to tell if the Vob files are Properly decrypted is no try to load one of the Vob files into DVD2AVI or Tmpgenc and see it you can see a Picture, if you can see a picture then the Problem is with DVD2One....
Hi, last time I had a similar problem with this and Ashy and B_Racer helped me. Just wondering how you got the correct aspect ratio? My current size is 704x396. I normally encode non-widescreen using these overscan techniques:
Output size: 480x480
Video Arrange Method: Custom Center (420x420)
If Ashy could help me again, I really would appreciate it! Thanks.
Um...I guess I forgot to state what I am trying to do. I am trying to convert an AVI to MPEG and to maintain the widescreen without anything going off the sides of the TV.
OK, you have a NTSC-Video. It looks like it is encodet at 1:1 PAR. If this is true, the PAR is 1:1, the AR 1.7778:1 which means 16:9.
I suggest to resize directly to 480x368 and letterbox to 480x480. This gives you an AR of 1.7832:1.
An other Way ist to resize to 448x344 and letterbox to 480x480. This results in an AR of 1.7804:1 and prevents a lot of Video to be putted into the Overscan-Area of the TV.
But there might be a Problem: There is a small posibility that the Video has the AR of 1.82:1. Maybe wrong resized from 1.85:1.
So try to resize a small part to 480x360. I don't think that that's the right way to resize it, but give it a try to be sure.
>Also, the FPS is 23.976. Should I encode it to the same or 29.97...?
Encode it with 23.976! After encoding use the Tool PullDown.exe to set the Pulldown-Flag correctly.
You just need to download "DoPulldown" or "Pulldown.exe" and encode your File as a 23.97fps Mpeg file, then you will Probably have to de-mux the Mpeg file then load the Video file into Pulldown.exe or DoPulldown and set the Pulldown Flag and the Frame rate to 29.97fps and then let it do it"s thing and then you Just Mux the audio and the New Video file back together and everything should be A OK.....cheers
I converted the avi file to mpeg the right way this time, burned it to cd played it on my DVD plaver but the picture seems to big for the tv, I think its called aver scan. Does the option keep aspect ratio help????
That's normal. Any TV has an Area called Overscan which is not visible.
If you have an AVI with Subtitles which are to close to the edges of the Video, you will not see the Subs or see them partialy.
All you can do is to shrink the Picturesize of the Video and fill it with black Borders. As an Example:
Resize to 336x544 instead of 352x576 in PAL Half-D1. FitCD or Fit2Disc is a good Tool for calculating the correct Overscan-Proof Resizing.
hi, i have recently started to encode dvd movies from avi files. the problem is when i encode the avi (using cce sorry tmpgenc) i am left with a mpv file so then i try and put the file into tmpgenc dvd author but i get an error message saying the frame rate is 23.976 which is illegal for a dvd. then i put the mpv file into dopulldown which sorts out the frame rate changing it from 23.976 fps to 29.976, but then when i load the file into tmpgenc dvd author the gop sequence is to long. please help
also tried using avirate but this makes audio and video out of sinc.
I don't think your problem is that you have used Dopullown as this won't affect the GOP length.
First you must make sure that the source is progressive and you encode the MPEG as progressive by checking the options under the 'Quality' tab for 'Progressive frame flag' and 'Zig zag' scanning order. Also ensure you checked the option for 'DVD video compliance' in the Video tab under 'Advanced' controls. This should ensure all GOPs are 15 frames and under.
hi im fairly new to tmpeg and when i try to start to encode a file i downloaded from net it says cant find p3package dll. What does this meen and how can i fix it please
