When I encode any kind of video, the output is always really dark, ive tried diffrent versions and the same thing. It didnt used to do this it has just started. Any help would be greatful. thanks
Is it possible to create an MPEG-2 larger size than 720 x 480? I have tried using the unlock feature; however, when I go to encode, TMPGEnc says it's an illegal format for MPEG-2. I can do it in MPEG-1, but want MPEG-2.
Yes it is possible by changing the profile level to MP&HL, but be aware this will not be acceptable for most DVD players as most expect MP&ML which is standard for DVD.
Hi,
I¡m trying to split a 1.7 Gb mpeg File into separate files. But after selecting the first start and end position and trying to generate the first file the program crashes. I¡m using version 2.58.44.152 and core version 1.90.140
My system is: Duron 700 MHz , 30 Gb Harddisk 7,5 Gb free, Windows XP Professional
Does anyon know a solution for this ?
The only solution for this is a pretty easy one, use a different Mpeg editor...The mpeg editor in Tmpgenc doesn"t work very well sometimes and there isn"t anything you can do to fix it.....
There is probably a Error in the avi file at 12% of the way through the file..This is extremely common with files downloaded off the net, you can either try to frame serve it to Tmpgenc with V-Dub or try to make a Copy of the file with V-Dub and encode the copy..Of you can encode up to the point were it crashes then use the Source Range to start encodeing a few frames after it crashed then join the 2 parts together with the Merge & Cut.....
ERROR MESSAGE: File "xyz.mpg" cannot open or unsupported
This message occures if I want to load the audio of a functioning 1234.mpeg MPEG2 type file for encoding.
Has someone an idea ?
The same 1234.mpg file worked well with tmpgenc a few weeks ago.
do u need to encode the audio? if not just encode teh video and demux the audio from the source and mux it with the output mpg...what kind of audio is it? its prob mp2...i'm not so clear on the audio formatts of mpg2...i know there is ac3 and the usual mp2.
If you are encodeing a Mpeg file to a Mpeg file you Dont Need to encode the audio cuz it is allready in the correct format for mpeg, just encode the Video then mux the audio to the encoded mpeg file...Tmpgenc does not like to encode Compressed formats like "MP2", wav is the best format to encode to mp2........
Sorry all your tips didnot work sufficiently, so I had to solve the problem for myself. For all having the same problem, I tell you how to do !!!
My intention was to create SVCD compatible MPG-files (PAL) from MPEG2 files created with POWER-VCR II (640x480, NTSC, 5000kbp/s)
1. step:
Demultiplex the POWERVCR2.MPG with MPEG-TOOLS from TMPGENC, save the mp2 file, delete the m2v !!!!
2. step:
Use MPEG-Mediator to create an avi file (I tried uncompressed, Hufmann, MPEG4VIII codecs). As input file you have to use the original POWERVCR2.MPG and not the m2v file created after Demultiplexing, because u will run into sync troubles !!
3. step
Encode the avi file with TMPGENC, with settings compatible to SVCD standard, BUT ONLY VIDEO !!
4. Multiplex the resulting SVCD2 compliant *.m2v (from step 3)with the mp2 file generated in step 1.
The resulting MPEG is SVCD compatibel and has no SYNC problems.
That's just a waste of time and quality and is not necessary.
You need and MPEG2 codec to open MPEG2 files with TMPG or load the MPEG2 into DVD2AVI and create a d2v file and then load into TMPG.
The LIGOS codec works, but you need the right one called VOB Filters 1.04 which can be downloaded from here: http://www.dvd-digest.net/downloads/files/encode/VOB_Filters_104.zip
Much quicker and much simpler than messing about with intermediate AVI's.

I have been using TMPGENC several times to convert avi files to VIDEOCD with no problem. Lately, however, I have encountered a few files which give me problems when played back on my DVD player (freezing and similar). They are low res (304x232 or so) black and white avi files, and when showing the average video bitrate with VirtualDub (after encoding with TMPGenc)I get a value lower than the canonical 1150 kbps which I get with the "good" videos. I guess that to obtain the standard 1150 kbps bitrate on files which have originally very low bitrate TMPGenc does some sort of padding, so maybe this could be the problem ?
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
I doubt it will be the added padding as this should bring the low bitrate file up to standard VCD bitrate. The source bitrate does not affect the output bitrate and is irrelevant.
Are you actually using the correct VCD resolution or are you using the original source resolution and do these files only have this problem with your DVD player?
If you are encoding using the correct bitrate and mode and have padding enabled then your bitrate should be a constant 1150 kbps no matter what.
I am using the template which comes with TMPGEnc so resolution and all the rest are OK. The problem only arises with my DVD player (PC playback gives no problem) and only with these very low res black and white video clips, which brings me to think that in this case strict VIDEOCD compliance is not accomplished.
Hi,
I want to frameserver from VirtualDub to TmpgEnc. Accordingly I set (in my humble opinion) everything correct. Even adjusted some of the VpfApi settings, higher priority, on/off, but with no succes. Is there someone who knows what else I can do? I'm desperate...
VirtualDub starts the frameserver, but TmpgEnc still returns the error "cannot open or unsupported format" when trying to open the .vdr file. Also renamed it to .avi but it still gives me the same problem. Even Panasonic does give me the same error...
Please let me know, either in this BBS or via email.
Did you actually install the Virtualdub frameserver client first?
If you don't know what I mean then obviously you haven't.
Consult the Virtualdub help files for info how to install the client first.
>MidimasterIP:62.234.44.119 and AshayIP:62.252.224.5 is same?
What's your problem you pratt?
The I.P's are not even close you wally so what's your point?
As for AVisynth I know how to use it well enough and have been using it for ages now and I'm quite accomplished with it, so don't get cocky clever dick.
I probably know more about encoding than you have english words in your vocabulary and have used this BBS for quite some time.
Just to correct your silly attitude. Th Original question was how to use the Virtualdub frameserver not how to frameserve with AVIsynth.

ah, ok.
that's right,. my english is weak, however I understood The Original question, and know the answer.
However, beacuse my english is weak, I can't tell the answer to Midimaster.
I found out what is causing most of these read errors and privilege errors that have cropped up lately.It seems that setting the Motion Search Precision to Highest quality causes these errors.The dumb bastard purposely introduced this bug to force people to upgrade to the paid version.Very bad form!
What on God's Green Earth is a Privilege Order Error and why the heck am I gettin it? I am trying to use the DVD Template to encode a Avi to a DVD compliant MPEG-2.Is it a field order problem? A interlace Problem? Why have I been able to make a ton of VCD files yet when I do MPEG 2 files it pisses on me?
I tried a different file, about 6 actually.I get the same damned error.The two Codecs I have used for my Avi's are the Microsoft DV and Huffyuv.The DV codec, I can understand, but not Huffyuv.I never used to get these errors when I captured from an Analog source, but now I am capturing with Firewire, and regardless of the codec I convert to before input to TMPG, it crashes with the "Privilege Order error".My AVI's are all at 720x480, 48000Hz stereo, 29.97 FPS.This is understandably driving me insane! I still have no idea what a privilege order error is and how to stop it.
DAMNIT!! No matter what I try, the damned "Privilege Order Error" won't go away! I saw a suggestion that motion search precision had something to do with it, but that is NOT it.How about some official word from the programmer on what the hell this error is?!?!?!?!? If if is not his error, it some useless "read error" message that doesn't tell me a damned thing about specifically what to do about this crap!
Well, first of all, please stop using some specific words.
The AVI must be divx AVI, if so, I have some information on this matter,
once you stop using such words, I will write information, maybe tomorrow.
I am having the same problem as Suny that I encoded a movie and now have no audio. The Stream Type is grayed out. When I opened file/mpeg it was a little confusing and I set the input files to my movie file and I clicked run, then a message asked if I wanted to overwrite and I said yes(?) then I got an error message that mpeg.mpg. cannot be created.
Any ideas?
Thanks
David
