What do mean it recognizes it, but it still says unsupported.
It wouldn't load in the first place if it wasn't supported.
You are obviously doing something wrong somewhere.
Post the steps you are taking to load the file.
Start from when you first rip the VOBS to your hard drive and be detailed.
Please refrain from double posting on the same subject. It gets highly confusing and is unecessary.
Stick to the same thread your problem will still be answered.
if ur useing DVD2AVI to make them .dv2 and ac3 .wav files try reinstalling DVD2AVI or TMPGenc or hell reinstall both of them. worked for me. something about the .vfp file cant be moved from the directory causes the problem
I have done everything right and the dv2 file shows up in TMPG, but when I click it TMPG says it is an unsupported file type. I have done everything right, but it still doesn't work. WHATS UP WITH THAT?
i've made a mpeg2-file with TMPGenc 2.54a, MPEG-2 480x576 25fps VBR 1600kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 128kbps.
now i'm trying to cut it with the mpeg-tools, but the slider at the edit-sheet don't let me move through the file. If i enter a start- or endtime manually, the program writes the hole file, not the range i've specified ... what am i doing wrong?
Your probably not doing anything wrong, the "cut" function does this quite often,my advice is to use different software to cut your mpeg"s, or use the source range while encodeing so you can encode your movie in parts...
I have succeed in making the first VCD: I have cut the mpg movie file and made the first smaller file which can be hold by one cd.
But I can not make the second CD: Each time I start merge file from any point other than start point(00:00:00), program freeze before it start to record file. The Version I am using is 2.54.37.135.
Can You tell me how to make the second part of movie? Or Can I try older vision?
What makes you think it is freezing.
It takes a while before it starts to produce the second half because it has to seek to the point of the cut first.
Just before the edited file store to HDD, the porgram stopped, I press Ctrl-Alt-Del, message shows Tmpgenc not response. This is what I mean freezing. I have tried 4 times even restart computer, same result. So I guess this is a bug of Tmpgenc
No it's not a bug.
This problem has been posted a few times before and the problem was solved by completely deleting TMPG from your system first then download a fresh copy and install that.
on my system the task manager displays alot of crap (not responding) dont worry about if. if you notice alot of lights blinking let them blink for a lil longer. patience here
Hello,
I am using the Pinnacle DC10+ card to capture and edit video to avi format. I am then using tmpgenc to encode to mpeg2 format and finally using vcdeasy to burn an SVCD disk.
When I encode the captured video alone into mpeg2 format and burn to disk, the audio is fine. However, when I add titles before the start of the video clip using the dc10+ software and then encode to mpeg2, the audio is distorted (the audio level is higher and there is noticable distortion in high frequency notes).
I suspect that the problem is with tmpgenc since the avi file with the titles seems to play fine on the computer. Since there is no soundtrack on the titles themselves, could this be causing a problem for tmpgenc ? Does it judge the audio level by sensing the first few frames of the movie ? If that is so, it would explain why the level would be higher with the titles than without.
I am using constant quality (CQ) for doing my encoding.
I have created a MPEG using Flask. I want to use the MPEG on a VCD so that I can play the disk on a home DVD player. The information I have says you have to cut the MPEG into two smaller files so that they will fit on a CD-R. Can anyone tell me how to do this using TMPGEnc v. 2.54?
Use MPEG tools from the FILE menu, then use the merge&cut option. This allows you to select a section of the original movie and write it to a new file.
I prefer to do it after encoding because of the time it takes to encode. I can set the machine going bfore I go to bed and leave it running all night and all the next day. When I come home there's nice big MPEG file all ready to be sliced at an appropriate point for burning to VCD.
You do have a little more control over exactly where it is cut is you use source-range though. It's personal preference really.
I assumed you weren't looking for the obvious answer to your question, which would have been "when it's too big"... ;-)
Just a thought - you could set your source points on the same file in two separate projects and then batch encode overnight and voila 2 separate files, perfectly cut and no need for extra diskspace/time..
Hi, i've got a question regarding the audio input. What would happen if I use a mp2 file as audio input in TMPEG. Will the program reencode it again or it just will encode the video and mux it with the audio (untouched). I want to know it 'cos I want to encode the audio into mp2 with another program (headAC3) using DPLII encoding, and then use the TMPEG to encode the video and build the mpeg file.
Tmpgenc would encode the audio file,maybe, sometimes it will choke on non wav formats, if you have a mp2 audio file just encode the video, and save the audio for your other audio encodeing program .....
i am creating mpg2 video with Tmpgenc (720*576) - PAL - MVBR max (3500).
i can not import my video from dvdwise authoring program, an error message says "this is not a vob stream" but when i create the video with flaskmpeg the video is valid for authoring.am i doing something wrong with Tmpgenc settings ???
Thanks for your answer..
Yesterday, i found the solution!!
i changed the option from (non interlase) to --> (interlase) and finally i import the video without any errors from authoring program.
Can i ask you another thing..??
Why i cant set the option to (non-interlase)..i mean why my authoring program could not import the video stream with this option??
All DVD movies start off as progressive 24 fps movies.
The DVD specs state that all MPEG2 DVD's must be interlaced movies.
This is done by adding a 'Pulldown' to the movie.
With PAL movies 2:2 pulldown is used and the movie is speeded up by 4%.
With an NTSC movie the original movie should be progressive 23.976 fps which has 3:2 pulldown added to make the movie a 29.97 fps interlaced movie.
No, no, no you would have to remove the pulldown, it is the pulldown which adds the interlacing.
What I mean is that all movies before they are put on to the DVD are progressive at a frame rate of 23.976 fps or 24 fps, but your TV needs an interlaced source and DVD's need to be 29.97 fps or 25 fps, so what happens is that a 3:2 pulldown is added to NTSC films which basically addes extra frames per second to the movie by repeating the fields in a movie to make it 29.97 fps. A field is what makes up half of an interlaced frame and there are 2 per frame an odd and an even.
With PAL it is slightly different a 2:2 pulldown is added and the film is speeded up by 4.17%.
It is all very hard to explain without some sort of graphical representation, so have a look here, it may explain things a bit better.
In conculsion and to answer your question, it is always better to start with a progressive frames movie, it will then save you a lot of time of fiddling about trying to solve interlacing problems when you encode.
I trying to encode AVI(DV format) to MPEG-2 DVD quality with TMPGenc Trial, BBMpeg and StudioDV.
I have Superbous video results with TMPGenc, but all of the softwares are getting me the same problem. When I try to open the mpgs in the Virtual Dub I am getting the message "MPEG Import Filter:pack synchronization error", even if the sound seems to be ok(sometimes it is in slow speed).
I tryed to change the bit rate,the sound compression and save the sound in wav, but nothing didn`t help.
The originals AVI footages run fine in the VD.
Also old mpgs I did a long time ago in StudioDV.
My config is: Pentium III 450, 256RAM, SDV capture card, HD 10GbSeagate UATA 100/5400, 40 Gb UATA 66/7200.
Are you getting that error in "virtualdub"?because I think it is an error in the mpeg import filter, which I think reads the mpeg in virtua dub.This is what I get by looking at the error..So the problem might not be with your mpeg or tmpgenc but with "virtualdub"..I don"t know much about trouble shooting with virtuadub..So my advice is to try to re-install virtualdub or just don"t use virtualdub if you don"t have to..
The problem is obvious.
The error you are recieving is due to the fact that Virtualdub does not support MPEG2 files only MPEG1.
Exactly why are you trying to import an MPEG2 file into Virtualdub anyway?
What is it you need to do?
But that was the way I was trying to check the a/v sync problems with TMPGEnc.
In my new tests I discovered that the only DVD player I have transmiting out to TV is PC-DVD from Creative and if I play the mpg file I did in other compressor it runs ok, but the one I did in TMPGEnc gets the sound in a low tune, out of sync, like a monster voice. In the other hand, if I play the same mpg file in Media Player, no transmition to TV, it runs ok.
Is that a puzzle or am I missing something? If I burn that file in a DVD will it run ok in a standard desktop DVD Player?
