Hello.
I use TMPGEN 2.57 on notebook Sony RD500DS with WINDOWS XP and the output file has onle sound and no video.
If I rise priority for directshow in OPTIONS then TMPGEN says that it can not open my AVI file.
Microsoft says that directshow preinstalled on WINDOWS XP.
Any suggestions?
Best regards.

It could be that the avi is not a direct show format, it could be a "video for windows" format, do you know what codec was use to encode the avi file??Try raiseing the "VFW file reader and lower everything else the load in the file and click encode and see if your movie comes up in the screen and encodes a picture and if it doesn"t try raiseing the "Open DML file reader" and lower everything else and see if that works ect...
To Minion.
Thank you.
I make my AVI files on my desk comp in Premier 6 @ Pinacle DV500+. I can convert these files with TMPEGENC on my desk comp under Windows 2000 and it produces both video and music but very often TMPGENC says that there is a mistake in some memory location and stop working. So I tried do use TMPGENC on notebook with Windows XP. TMPGENC works wihtout mistake message but output file has only sound but not video.
Any other suggestins.
Best regards.

What I wrote in the other post is the only solution I know of that would fix your problem,unless you don"t have the proper codec to decode the file ....
I personally prefer CQ... I use Max. 4000, min. 1800 and CQ 65 for SVCD.
Quality is the same or better than with 2 pass but without losing the time of a second pass.
Whenever I open an mpeg1 file (as a source for conversion), TMPGenc closes without warning on me. It never used to do that... any ideas?
It does it with every mpeg1 file I try, but it opens avi's just fine (no matter what codec it uses).
Well, I figured out the solution to my own problem. It turns out that the program crashing was due to an ACDSee 4.0 plug-in. More specifically, it was either the PicaView or ImageFox plug-in. I had a weird hunch it might have been one of those two things, so after posting my last message, I went to modify my ACDSee 4.0 package, and got rid of both of them. Right afterwards, I went straight to TMPGenc and the files opened just fine.
Anyone else have ACDSee 4.0 installed? If so, do you have ImageFox and/or PicaView enabled?
i have two mpegs and want to merge them. So i start tmpgenc and click MPRG-Tools (merge & cut).
Add both mpegs select from beginning to the end of every part und "run". Everything seems ok, but only first part is outputted, so the two parts arent togetter finally.
If you cant get it to read or write the SVCD Header then edit it as a "mpeg2 VBR" stream and after de-mux the file and re-mux it with the "svcd setting" and see if it will write the header then, some authoring programs will accept mpeg2 files without a svcd header, like VCDEasy, or Ulead dvd workshop"...
Hi, just a note for other people like me who are new to a lot of this... I was trying to encode some files and kept on getting "writing stream errors" and a freeze up. I wasn't sure what was going on but it seemed (after several hours of trial and error) to involve my computer rather than any specific video program. (such as TMPG or NERO). I tried to use Virtual Dub to extract a .wav and I got the message that I was out of memory.
My computer said that I still had 5 gigs free, but I thought I'd defrag the hard drive and make a bit more room. (I have been downloading, burning and deleting files 24/7, so I figured a defrag was in order. I downloaded PowerDefrag thru CNET. I installed the program, and a message popped up saying that I had some problems on my hard drive, and that these problems needed to be corrected before I could defrag. So I ran scan disk, and I found that I had "crosslinked files occupying the same sector". So I deleted all the screwed up stuff. Now I found that I supposedly only had 800 megs free disk space available... I restarted the computer and it still said the same thing, so I deleted a bunch of stuff I never even looked at and then low and behold, everything worked just fine.
So - what I'm trying to say is... it's not always the TMPG program that is at fault... sometimes it's the garbage on our computers, the residue from too many
KaZaa downloads or similar things....
I created a DivX-File with the Avi-Output. The Video-Stream was 2-Pass-DivX 5.0.2 and MP3-Audio-Stream. The file was 700Mb large and I tried to open it by "The Playa" - DivX-Player. After 1 minute and my HDD worked a lot! I got an error-Message. I suppose that "The Playa" tries to write the whole file into cache and then play it.
Is there a preferred setting or template available for encoding animated .avi files to SVCD format? I have many .avi cartoons uploaded to my computer that are ready for SVCD conversion. Any suggestions?
