When trying to convert an NTFS AVI to PAL MPEG 2 using system(video-audio) the final MPEG has no sound when using the same avi for video and audio. Extracting the audio to wav using VirtualDub then using this wav as a separate audio file to create the MPEG leads to a file with sound out of synch by about 1 second after half an hour. Any suggestions
Firstly you can not use Tmpgenc to Properly Convert from NTSC/Pal,It just doesn"t work Properly, Tmpgenc Does not do Proper Frame rate conversions so when watching your Movie on TV you will get a Jumping or Skiping effect about every second or so.You might not see it Now But you will Once you are Watching in your DVD Player,If you watch it closely now I"m sure you will Notice it, And Trying to convert NTSC/Pal with Tmpgenc Can cause Sync Problems like you are getting....You can use AVISynth to Frameserve the file and use it to do the NTSC/Pal conversion But it is a Complicated tool to use if you have never used it, if you have a Good Video editor Like Vegas 4 or Premier you can use it to convert NTSC/Pal, Or if you can get a Copy of ProCoder it does good NTSC/Pal Conversions..There are also a Couple of other methods that Entail Changeing the Framerate of the AVI file then Changeing the length of the Audio to Match the Video...
Version 2.511 unstable?
TMPGEnc 2.511 may hang (blank window, TMPGEnc not responding, HD LED permanently "ON", processor load 100%) after quite some time of successful encoding. Strange: After a couple of re-starts the encoding of the entire movie my eventually succeed.
Never had this problem with older versions.
P4/XP/DX9/80GB HD/512MB RAM.
Same problem for me. With 2.511 version, sometimes encoding is ok, but some other times not. I have dual processor and I discovered that if I disable multithread the hangs almost dissapear, but not completely anyway.
I hope it will be fixed in the following version.
There seems to be a Bug in the Multi-threading in this Version so Poeple with Multiple Processors might find Problems useing the Multi-threading ..I would either just disable it till the next version comes out or use an older version till they fix this one...
You will have to tell us a Bit more about these AVI files you are haveing Problems with, Like there Compression and were they are from, But off the Top of My head I would say that you should first try Raiseing the Priority of the Direct Show File reader in the Vfapi Plugins to about 2...
This is often a problem when using an older xvid codec to run newer xvid encoded videos. Uninstall the old codec, and download and install a new build of xvid.
What Might be better is to Install the FFDShow Filter, it decodes all Mpeg-4 and Other Formats usually better than the actual codecs do pluss it has a Lot of usefull decodeing options to optimize Playback Quality...
I am trying to compress uncompressed AVI (captured home video) to S-VCD (NTSC). Since I am beginner in this, I used "Project Wizard" with default settings, which resulted in output file with equal width and height, as if original aspect ratio (4:3) was somehow changed to 1:1. I checked all the settings and found out that even though source file had aspect ratio 4:3 525 line (NTSC, 704x480), output had video resolution 480x480. I tried to change this setting in various menus but it was always greyed out. Does anybody know a way to achieve same aspect ratio as original file? Thanks in advance.
If you want the Image size to be displayed in the Correct aspect ratio go to "Video Arange Method" in the Video settings and set it to "FullScreen Keep aspect Ratio" and another way that will Display it in the correct aspect ratio But with Black bars on the top and Bottom which Might look better depending on what you are looking for is to set it to "Center Custom Size" then set the size to I think "480+352" is the correct aspect ratio?? This way it will not be full screen but have 64 pixel boarders on top and bottom, you can see what it will look like if you go into the "Clip Frame" settings, but make sure the "Resized image for Preview" Box is checked...
I have downloaded a trial copy of TMPGEnc. I am using this in conjunction with dvd2svcd. When dvd2svcd is ready to launch TMPGEnc, I get "illegal project file". How do I fix this and what is the problem?
Well it seems that there is something wrong with the Project file that DVD2SVCD is makeing..Sounds like a DVD2SVCD problem, Maybe you should check out there forum as they would know more about DVD2SVCD...
Hi, i have problem here. My video has subtitle on it, but it's too low and when I covert it to vcd and I played it on tv, I can only see half of the subtitle. Is there a way that I can resize the video using simple program like TMPGEnc? I know how to do it in premiere, but it's too much hasle. Please advice. Thank you
Some AVI files, after the enconding in VCD have no sound. I extract the audio into a WAV file and i repeat the convert AVI2VCD. The sound now is OK but non syncronized with the Video. Can you help me?
I agree with all of the above additions, I have not been able to make myself pay $68 for the software as is but if if tools for menu template creation and audio in the scene cut preview were added along with free upgrades for a determined period of time I would be more than willing to buy it. I have used the software for about 2 weeks making about 15 dvd's and I find it easy to use with decent features but when trying to put in chapter cuts, the lack of audio means I have a lot of trial and error trying to get the cut right.
Nice basic DVD authoring program, but without a built-in burner, it's definitely not worth the money. Ulead DVD Movie Factory blows this away, includes the ability to burn DVDs and create ISO images, and costs less.
Since TMPGEnc won't process my M2V files after they are ripped from a DVD, I have to run them through "Merge & Cut". I think it has something to do with the header, but anyways... I've only encountered this twice, but TMPGEnc only writes half of the file. The M2V is 2 hours long, but only 1 hour is written. The last time this happened I had a 3 hour clip that was only recognized as 1.5 hours. I've been using TMPGEnc for a long time now and rarely have this problem, but yet it's still a problem. My drives are all defragged and error free and the like. It seems to be only certain files/videos. Thanks!
UMMm, the Merge and Cut is really only supposed to be for Mpeg Files(Audio and Video) and only Files that were encoded By Tmpgenc in the First Place, and you really shouldn"t Load the M2V from a DVD Directly into Tmpgenc, there are Much Better and Faster Ways of Encodeing M2v files from a DVD in Tmpgenc, and that is Useing DVD2AVI to make a Project File and frame serve the file to tmpgenc, The decoders that Tmpgenc uses aren"t particularily that Fast,the Decoder that DVD2AVI is a Better Faster Decoder, I get up to 10% faster encodeing Frameserveing from DVD2AVI than Encodeing the Mpeg file just with Tmpgenc, Plus you get Much less Freezes and Crashes and other Problems...
