I am using DVD to VCD with SmartRipper DVD2AVI and TMPGEnc. After browsing and adding the video and audio source, and selecting the proper TMPGEnc template, when I hit the start button I get the following error message can't load "p3package.dll" error. This is my first attempt at ripping from DVD to VCD, and I am determined to learn how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Much thanx..........You were right I had the .exe out of the folder, I deleated all the files reinstalled and created a shortcut....in the proccess of making my first VCD...I will be back in 12 to 15 hours to let you know how it came out.
I keep on getting this error when i'm trying to convert a avi to mpg using guidelines from "Coldfeets guide to quailty ripping" it keeps on saying this when i hit start, "Write error occurred at address 77F536F7 of module 'ntdll.dll' with 00000000" can someone tell me whats wrong
sorry, to say i can't help you..... only that i have the same problem as you.
i tried it several times and sometimes it even worked! but the filesize got way too big. i'm talking about 2,5GHz instead of 800MB. avi->vcd!
it looks like the .dll is corrupt. reinstalled service pack, but it didn't work.
so for me the same question: can somebody help, please?
For me it was missing audio frames when transcoding MPEG2 (tystreams) to DVD-standard. Playing the entire show in TMPGEnc's setting->Advanced->Source range was a tedious exercise, but it did show me where in hte show things went pear-shaped. Try converting your audio to a wav, though you're going to end-up with audio sync issues. Sorry!
i used to have the same problems encoding to dvd spec.
sometimes vbr audio in the avi's caused problems so i had to just encode the video and audio seperately, but more times than not it was errors in the video that caused the crashes. i had floating point errors, ntdll.dll errors and runtime exceptions... all happening amongst eachother.
i started frameserving with virtuadub and this seems to have sorted all my problems. its a lot more tedious than what it should be... but what are you gonna do? its either that or errors so i made my choice :)
Hi, i have the movie bowling for columbine, it is coded with xvid.
But anyway, when i try to convert the divx with tmpgenc, it doesn't convert the audio, it is just blank.
I have installed the nimo pack, and than mediaplayer said the sound of the movie was a morgan codec.
I deleted the nimo pack, and reinstalled:
xvid
ac3 filters
divx5.03
show filter
all my divx are playable and convertable, but not this movie, virtualdub cannot recognize the sound, but it seems mediaplayer can.
And now mediaplayer says the sound is ac3.
What am i doing wrong ?
help me please

The Audio is AC3 and Tmpgenc in Most Cases will Not Read AC3, so use AVI-MUX to extract the audio to WAV format then use the wav file as the audio source, or you Can extract it as an AC3 file then use "Headac3he" to encode it to Mp2 then mux the Mp2 to the mpeg file, either way will work...
I have encoded two different avi movies to a non-standard vcd file both using cq method, quality 85, max bitrate 4500, min bitrate 2000, no padding. One of the vcd's plays in my dvd player while the other one stutters in one part of the movie.
The movie that stutters I have tried encoding on different cbr rates and anything over 2500 will stutter.
Is this a case of my dvd player will not read over 2500 but the one file that works never gets that high or is there another explanation?
Thanks in advance

I have sort of the same problem, when i convert a divx movie to vcd, it goes out of sync after 15 minutes, than the picture is trying to catch up with the sound...how can i fix this, or is it just my dvd player ?
They Play Because the Bitrate didn"t get as high in those files, Pluss Tmpgenc has Really Bad Bitrate controll so the Bitrate will sometimes Go Much higher than you set it, this For me is the Biggest Flaw that tmpgenc has and Why I can"t Use it as Much is I would Like...These Bitrate spikes can be lessened By not haveing the Max and min Bitrate set far apart, Meaning that If I set the Bitrate to VBR 0kbs Minimum and 5000kbs Max then the Possibility of Bitrate spikes are much higher than if I set the Bitrate to say 2000kbs min and 3000kbs max....
I'm working with an mpg file of 830 MB; i output a file containing the first half of the big file, but now i can't do the same with its final part. I always get an "Illegal video stream" message.
Nevertheless, there is no problem if i do the same from minute 2 to minute 3 or the like, but never if i want to begin from minute 47.
I have installed the latest TMPGEnc and am trying to convert MPEG2 to MPEG1 for burn to VCD. This was working with the freeware version, at one point. Suddenly it stopped. The freeware version said I had run out of my MPEG-2 evaluation, strange since I had just got it yesterday, but, no matter, I bought the current product. Keep getting the "can not open or unsupported" message. There is no MPEG2 plugin listed in the Environmental Settings. I have installed the latest IndeoXP MPEG codecs from Ligos. No change. Things work great in WMP9. Any ideas?
That could be your Problem, There is a Major Conflict with Media Player 9 and Tmpgenc so you should roll Back your system to before you installed MP9...And if for some reason after rolling Back your system you still can not encode Mpeg2 files with Tmpgenc then there is still a Better way of encodeing Mpeg2 files with Tmpgenc, Use DVD2AVI to make a D2V project File and to de-mux the audio then just encode the D2V file to Mpeg1 and Mux the audio to the video..There is no need to Encode the audio cuz it is allready in the correct format for Mpeg and re-encodeing it will just degrade the audio quality, and DVD2AVI is a Better Mpeg2 decoder and a Faster Mpeg2 decoder that the ones Tmpgenc uses...
I don't know if this is related to WMP9 or not, but there is one way that the Ligos MPEG2 decoder can break TMPGEnc on an XP machine and that's if, somehow, it gets set to use the video overlay mixer.
You'll need to open the old Windows Media Player v6 on your machine to check it out (if you've got XP, WMP6 was installed along with WMP8). Just click the Start button on your desktop, then click on Run and enter MPLAYER2 as the file to open. Once WMP6 is running, open an MPEG2 video file (it must be MPEG2, not MPEG1). While it's playing, choose Properties from the File menu, then click on the Advanced tab on the Properties sheet. In the list of filters shown, you should see "Ligos MPEG Video Decoder." Double-click on that name and make sure, in the Filter Properies that pop up, that "Use Overlay Mixer" is NOT checked.
If "Use Overlay Mixer" is chosen for the Ligos MPEG Video Decoder, the Ligos MPEG2 decoder disappears from the Environmental Settings list in TMPGEnc (at least on my machine) and TMPGEnc will not load any MPEG2 videos.
The one advantage I can see of having "Use Overlay Mixer" checked is that WMP will then display 480x480 SVCDs/MPEG2s in the proper aspect ratio (by stretching them to 640x480); when it's not checked, WMP plays them at 480x480 and they appear distorted. I wish someone could resolve this confilct and get TMPGEnc to work with the Overlay Mixer on, 'cause I'm tired of previewing all my SVCDs all scrunched up in WMP (other programs, like PowerDVD, take way longer to open than WMP and are not practical for just giving something a quick look).
There are also Different Vfapi Plugins for different Functions, like there is a VFapi Plugin so you can Encode MOV files and there is a DVD2AVI vfapi Plugin and a Couple others....
Hello. I'm having problems encoding videos with TMPGEnc. I'm using Premiere to edit the video and then using a frame server to get the video to the encoder, but part way through encoding the movie, TMPGEnc crashes and just disappears. I tried using the current version incase it was a program error, but even the latest version crashes the same way. Any hints or suggestions on what is causing this and what I can do to fix it? Thanks.
Here is more information about the problem. I tried encoding the same clip of video using the trial MPEG-2 encoder, and it finished encoding with no problems. Switch back to any MPEG-1 encoding at all, and it starts dying again. Here are my system specs...
Asus P2B-LS, P3 800, and 512MB of RAM.
Windows 2000 SP3 w/ current patches.
I know this is a common problem but I just had to ask. I am trying to burn 3 files onto a VCD. I used a calculator to add up the 3 files' sizes together and it comes out to 833MB. It should fit into a 700MB/80MIN CD-R right? Well, Nero says it can't!!! Why is this?
WRONG...833MB is Just a Little to Big to Fit on a CD-R while useing the OverBurning Feature in Nero...You would be Very Lucky if you could fit 820MB on a Single CD-R...you will have to Either cut a Minute or Two off the Files or re-encode them to a Slightly Lower Bitrate....
Demultiplex the audio from your VCD then re-encode it at at a lower bitrate. If you have used 224 kb/s as the original bitrate then lower it to 160 kb/s. This should be enough to reduce the size and the audio quality will remain high.
After encoding remux with the video.
I have a bunch of MPEG files (100+, 20min each) I need to convert from CD-R VCD to DVD+R VCD. I know how to do this, but I wanted to know if there was a way of queing up a list of them and then have my computer run them over an extended period of time? I have a feeling that the batch function does this, but I have no clue how to use it. Thanks for your time.
If you are Transfering VCD"s to DVD-R you do NOT Need to Re-Encode them, Re-Encodeing the Files with Tmpgenc will Just ruin the Quality of the Files...All you Need to do is De-Mux the audio and change the sample Rate to 48000hz then re-mux them then you can Burn them to DVD-R..This would only take a Few Minutes per VCD to transfer from VCD to DVD-R and No encodeing is Needed..And the Batch Feature will Not do this Unless you wanted to run Just the audio through the Batch feature But there are Faster and Better audio encoders than Tmpgenc if you are Just re-sampleing the audio to 48000hz....
