Hi, everybody!

After my test period of MPEG-2 function of TMPGEnc expired, I decided to purchase the TMPGEnc Plus. But first I got a trial version 2.55.38.142. And here we have: the TMPGEnc Plus does not work with AVISynth plug-in. The free TMPGEnc works fine; I start FlaskMPEG and select "Link to AVISynth" as output. Then I start TMPGEnc and select an AVS file... and so on. I go the same way with TMPGEnc Plus, but it hangs after selecting the AVS file. It shows the Hourglass cursor and does nothing. Only with Task Manager I can close it. Is this a problem with trial version only? As I said, the free version works fine but without MPEG-2. Could somebody help?

TIA. George

I had a similar problem a while back with TMPG.
I installed this file http://math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/avisynth/tmpgenc-readavs.zip and everthing was fine after that, just follow the instructions in the readme.txt file.

ASHY

OK. It works a half, the TMPGEnc can open AVS-file without stopping. But if I start the conversion, I get a message "IPC Source: Audio misalignement" and the Source does not run, while TMPGEnc is running with black screen (with this message, of course). Any more hints?

Thanks!

Does the AVS file play with media player? If not there is a problem with either the Avisynth script or FlaskMPEG.

ASHY

The Media Player says "File not found..." if I point to my AVS-file. I think, it can be a problem with the last tool, you wrote about. Since I've installed this tool the TMPGEnc Plus does not hang, but the free TMPGEnc shows the same error ("IPC Source: Audio misalignement...") and it worked fine before.

I think I finally found the reason! If I try to decode a NTSC DVD file with 29,97fps and 48000 Hz audio and put this through AVISynth as AVI with 29,97fps and 48000 Hz audio I get the problem. If I make the FlaskMPEG converting the video to 25fps and 41500Hz audio the TMPGEnc works fine.
Anyway, I have tested DVD2AVI with the same DVD file and got no audio from TMPGEnc. It seems, TMPGEnc cannot work with NTSC video format (;-) (of course, it can!).

could anyone tell me how after splitting a film in half the second disc has the video and audio slightly out of sinc with each other,and of course how to stop this happening,thanks in advance martin.

The reason why is cuz the mpeg tools suck, and to solve this you need to use a different mpeg editor, you can try "m2-edit pro" or "mpeg2vcr" there seems to be a constant problem of one sort or another with mpeg tools.....

Hi,

I have trouble using TmpGenc to convert a MPEG2 into SVCD

The problem is that the MPEG has different recordings - and between each recording there is about 1 second of noise (seems that my video-camera is putting this noise between different recordings)

TmpgEnc is losing the sound after each recording - this 1 second of noise (gap, transition) seems to confuse TmgpEnc.
Sometimes TmpgEnc is not only losing audio - but crashing while converting.

Does anybody know how I can deal with that 1 sec noise between recordings ?
Is there a way to remove "transitions" ?

thx

heinz

Try using the 'Cut editing' function in the source range filter to cut out your noise gaps.

ASHY

OK, this may work.
However, if u have many transition it will be painful to find each.

Isn't there a way to make Tmpgenc to skip gaps automatically - or at least to indentify them ?

thx
heinz

use the correct feature to eliminate the noise

>use the correct feature to eliminate the noise

Hi,
where can I find this feature ?
I've already switched on noise reduction (HQ-Quality), even tried Ghost etc.
Nothing helped so far

thx

If you are loading the MPEG2 file directly into TMPG then why don't you try using DVD2AVI and create a d2v file from your MPEG2 and load that into TMPG instead.

ASHY

I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have a .avi divx file that has "Morgan Stream Switcher" compression.
It can be played fine in 3 diffrent players but when I convert it to anything with TMPGEnc Plus, the video looks great but there is no audio.
Why can't TMPGEnc Plus convert the audio with the video?
Do I have to extract the audio with a diffrent program and then merge it with the processed video? I hope there is an easier way.
Please help if you can.

Thanx Robb

extract the audio with virtual dub in wav form the when u start the tmpg wizard insert the video and the extracted wav file and off u go.....all it is ...is that tmpg doesnt support certain forms of audio

thanks

Can anyone please help with error message "Index of scan line is out of range 281" I spent 3 months downloading this movie and 4mins 27 secs into changing it from an 'avi' to an mpeg with TMPGEnc 2.55 I get this message and it stops encoding. Please if anyone can help, tell me in easy to understand lingo.

This could mean that there is some corruption in your avi file, possibly bad frames, there is nothing you can do about it accept you can start encodeing again at the point right after it crashed then you can join the files together after encodeing,you can do this by going to the "source range" setting and set it to start encodeing a few frames after it crashed then after it is done load the files in the merge and cut and merge them together.These are common problems with movies downloaded off the net cuz information gets lost or corrupted while encodeing especially in your case when it takes so long to download one movie.....

>I go the same p3package.dll error on mine. I did what menion said and it work (slow), but worked. I then stopped that and put the .dll file in system and system32 folders and it worked like a charm. I don't know what is wrong with your application, but I haven't seen anywhere that you uninstalled and reinstalled the application. (first rule of troubleshooting).

>It is simple enough that this may be a "PEBCAK" error. (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard)

And to address all of the "put p3package.dll in the search field" that only brings up all of these complaints. Someone needs to place the .dll file on here so that it can be copied and give a valid solution to this. There is no real solution that I see. Us users have to sort through the complaining and ignorance in order to find a solution.

I am converting an AVI to SVCD with TMPgenc and when it finishes there is no video, just audio. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

MoVieBoY

This can be caused by a few thing"s but first a little tip, if there is no video in the encodeing screen while encodeing then there is no video in your mpeg file,but first you should post the procedure and settings you used to encode your file and you should post the specs of your avi file like frame rate resolution and codec with out this information we can only guess at what might be wrong.first you need to have the proper codecs installed on your machine to decode your file, you should make sure that your "direct show" plugin is set to a high enuff priority, to do this go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi plugins" and raise the "direct show" plugin to "2" by right clicking it.Another reason could be that your avi file is encoded with a codec that is not supported in tmpgenc like some dv codecs...you can try these things to see if they work and if they don"t post the correct information so we don"t have to play a guessing game.......good luck....

OK, I get a "Read Error Occured at Address 00477747 of module 'TMPGEnc.exe' with 043E71AE" error when encoding MPEG2 video from AVI.

I've tried to figure this one out on my own but haven't been able to. Any help would be appreciated.

i want to raise the resulution but it is locked away, i have tryed loaded the unlock template but its says illegal streaming

You might be getting the error cuz you can only use resolutions in mpeg that are divisible by 8 and if you try to use a illegal resolution you will get an error........

I keep getting the error "Cannot load P3Package.dll" when I try and insert the file to be converted. Is it a problem with my file or the program?

>I keep getting the error "Cannot load P3Package.dll" when I try and insert the file to be converted. Is it a problem with my file or the program?

yeh if u run the p3package in the background then press start it will work

This question is one of the most common questions ever asked in this forum and has been answered hundreds of times but here goes again, look in your tmpgenc folder and copy and paste the "p3p package.dll" into you system and system32 folder and then it will work....

I am sorry to say that MINION's claim is utterly and categorically false.
I have encountered the error CANNOT LOAD p3package.dll non-stop, continually,
100% of the time since downloading TMPGENC, and copying p3packag.dll to botht he SYSTEM and SYSTEM32 folders does N*O*TH*I*N*G whatsoever to solve the problem.
MINION is not merely incorrect, he is so spectacularly wrong that a claim that the earth is flat or that ice sinks in water would qualify as highly accurate by comparison with MINION's categorically false statement.
Here are the steps I have taken, all with no result whatsoever, to try to solve the constant non-stop incessant continual CANNOT LOAD p3package.dll error in TMPGENC:
[1] I changed the path environment variable in autoexec.bat under WIN 98SE
to include C:progra~1TMPGENCp3packag.dll
This does N*O*T*H*I*N*G to solve the error.
[2] I copied p3packag.dll to the windows and system and system32 folders.
This does N*O*T*H*I*N*G to solve the error.
[3] I identified the name of every single folder everywhere in my computer and wrote a batch program to copy p3packag.dll to every subdirectory everywhere in my computer.
This does N*O*T*H*I*N*G to solve the error.

I have now run out of ideas for solving this problem.
In fact, this problem does not appear solvable. I strongly suspect that this error is a cover-up for the fact that TMPGENC is disabled and will not permit use until the user pays for it. The problem with that, of course, is that when I encounter a program which crashes whenever I try to use it (as TMPGENC does), why should I have any faith that the program will suddenly STOP crashing after I pay money for it?
Any reasonable person wishes to get some evidence that a program actually works before paying for it. I am more than willing to pay $50 for TMPGENC, but I must first see some evidence that the program actually works.
As far as I can tell, TMPGENC is a vastly elaborate con job. In all likelihood the "program" is a shell that does nothing. After paying $50 I will in all probability get a message "woof woof! Gotcha! you're out $50, sucker!" instead of a message saying that the program is actually running.
Now, come clean, MINION...you haven't ever actually gotten TMPGENC to run, have you? In fact, no one anywhere has ever actually gotten TMPGENC to run, isn't that right?
TMPGENC is an elaborate scam, isn't that the real truth?

Why don't you just try downloading the program again, it may have become corrupt in the download.

ASHY

To xed, or should that be 'Shit-Head'

1. Learn how to use a computer.
2. Learn how to use Software.
3. Go through the learning curve again.
4. And again - Again - Again - Again.
5. When competent, buy a decent computer.
6. Use TMPGEnc as it was written to be used.
7. Don't knock those who give their time to help others.
8. Still have a problem? Go back to 1 and start again.

Then there is something wrong with YOUR SYSTEM cuz it works 99% of the time so what does this mean? "YOUR SYSTEM" has some problem that you should not blame me for and an attitude like that isn"t going to solve your problem, especially when you put down those who try to help you I can gaurantee you that this is the last problem that anyone here ever helps you with..

Here I am going back on my word cuz I feel sory for you "WA WA boo hoo WA WA"what you do is go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to the "cpu" tab and uncheck all the boxes"eg:sse,mmx" every thing there,this WILL work but it won"t use the pentium3 optimizations...now go encode something and come back and appoligise profusely take back every word you said then maybe billy will come out to play with you.....

Is it possible to encode several .avi files into a single .mpg file?

Yes:Open the first in Virtualdub,then append the others by using the
"append"-function and frameserve it to Tmpgenc.

I have a similiar problem : Batch encoding
I want to batch encode a whole number of .wmv files - but can't (you have use the project wizard for each individual file!).

What a pity there is no way of adding files to nthe batch encoding list unless you use the project wizard - if you try to edit the .tbe file manually - its all in binary! - Any one no of a tool to edit this list with ease ?

Hi,
I have downloaded TMPGEnc 2,5 and Strated the Encoding of an AVI file to a VCD mpg.

After having encoded the File I have in the VCD File red shaves.

So I send the AVI to a friend of mine, and he tooked the same settings as i did and got a super Quality mpg.

The Only differenc was that my Sysytem was an Laptop Intel Celeron 660 with 128 MB ram, an the Computer of my friend an Intel P4 1,5 GH with 512 MB RAM so it seems, that it depends on the CPU.

Can this be and Can I do something about it?

What the hell are red shaves?
