Question - TE25 - TMPGEnc 2.5x Not recogising DivX4.x & DivX5.0 No.26893
KiwiBacon  2002-08-22 02:14:14 ( ID:lcyqaxq.42f )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi Ya Folks...

Just performed a fresh reinstall of Win2000 with all relevenat apps and codec. But now TMPGEnc doesn't list my 2 DivX codec when using the "Output To Avi" Option. All it shows are the standard window codec...

Any ideas about fixing this... ?


Happy Huntng...

I had this problem once well actually it would only show some of the codecs and not all of them, and I just re-downloaded Tmpgenc and installed it..But I don"t know if it will work on Your system but you can try it..

Question - TE25 - PAL AVI must encode with PAL MPG template? No.26890
Paul M  2002-08-21 23:21:19 ( ID:/1isfusp3aa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Another quick question. I live in the USA. My DVD player plays commercial DVDs made in the NTSC format. When I go to encode an AVI file with TMPG sometimes the program says that the AVI file is in PAL format. Now when I make an MPG to play on my American DVD player I have, in the past, used an NTSC template.I thought that it was necessary to do this so that the VCD I would burn would play on my DVD player. After reading a lot of these pages today I am no longer certain that I am doing it correctly. Can anyone clear this up?


Minion  2002-08-22 00:09:20 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

A Pal movie encoded to the "NTSC" Template will cause the file to have jumpy and out of sync playback when plated on your NTSC DVD and TV, and if you use the "Pal Template" the movie might not play at all..There isn"t an easy way to convert NTSC to Pal and Pal to NTSC, it involves extracting the audio from the avi then changeing the frame rate of the AVI with "avi frame rate changer" then useing a audio editing program like "Sound Forge 6" to Stretch or Shrink the audio file to the new length or the avi file so they will sync up..It is not a procedure for the unexperienced..There is a program called "DV Film Maker" that will take a "25fps" avi file and convert it to a "29.9fps NTSC" file,but It takes quite a while to do..


ABS  2002-08-22 01:15:17 ( ID:tmdsptwfkem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I sugest using AVI synth... Version 1.7b has an option of doing PAL<->NTSC using a small script and it works quite well...



Question - TE25 - DVD2AVI audio question No.26884
ABS  2002-08-21 22:57:12 ( ID:tmdsptwfkem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When I use DVD2AVI it extracts the audio, and gives a file name that says "Delay -66ms.mpa". That means that I have to set at the sourse range -66ms?


Minion  2002-08-22 00:01:47 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You have extracted to the Wrong audio format...You have to extract the audio to "wav" not "mpa", Tmpgenc might not encode "Mpa" audio, and extracting the audio to "mpa" causes de-sync, so the correct settings in DVD2AVI under "Audio" choose "decode to Wav" and under "dolby digital" choose "Dolby Surround Downmix"...You will know you have done it correctly when the audio has a "Wav" extention......


ABS  2002-08-22 01:10:02 ( ID:tmdsptwfkem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Now actually two problems...

For start, no "decode to wav" option in Audio (not available when sourse is mpeg audio format?)

Secondly, seems like DVD2AVI serves TMPGenc with wrong number of frames.
The source file has 77,474 (according to bitrate-viewer) and when I go to source range in TMPGenc it has only 77,454... Maybe a bug in version 1.86?


ABS  2002-08-22 01:13:24 ( ID:tmdsptwfkem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Another thing, just chacked and Ulead Mediastudio pro also gives 77,474 frames to the MPEG-2 file... really odd...


Minion  2002-08-22 01:24:06 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

So it"s a "mpg" file that you are useing in DVD2AVI???You can "de-multiplex" the mpeg and save the audio file then just make a d2v file out of the video then after encodeing the D2v file to mpeg you just multiplex the "de-muxed" audio to the encoded d2v file.This is the method I use when i need to re-encode mpeg files and it is better than haveing the audio re-encoded and looseing quality.This should work without any audio delay.I have noticed that the DVD2AVi 1.77.3 is the fastest and most reliable version so far ...


ABS  2002-08-22 15:14:12 ( ID:tmdsptwfkem )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Found the problem.
Thing is, if the MPEG-2 files starts with a non I frame, DVD2AVI simply cuts all the frames unil the first I...



Question - TE25 - interlace or non-interlace No.26882
Paul M  2002-08-21 22:05:15 ( ID:/1isfusp3aa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi guys, just checking to see if I understand something correctly. Low resolution avi files (such as 360 x 240) contain only one half of the full frame.So when we encode them using TMPG we have to use the "non-interlace" setting. Using the "interlace"setting is wrong because there are not the 2 halves of the frame to lace together... Correct?


Minion  2002-08-21 23:56:41 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

NO, not exactly, I depends on How the movie was made and encoded,When you load your file into Tmpgenc those settings are adjusted by the encoder so you don"t change them because the encoder analizes the file when you load it and adjusts them acordingly so they will be at the correct settings...



Question - TE25 - Decompress Query! No.26880
pwygant  2002-08-21 20:01:20 ( ID:v/fkcvkaosl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have an annoying problem and I want to try my chances here since I have never ever had a response on any other forum. This might not be the most relevant to TMPGenc but I am giving it a shot since this fourm deals with a lot of video experts and I have been answered great every time.

Every time I look at an .avi file in windows explorer (or just holds the mouse over the file) a DOS looking windows pops up in the background that contains the folowing info:

Header says C:/windowsexplorer.exe

then in the window it shows: DecompressQuery:input=24 bits, output =(null)

The .AVI files in question are made with my little Canon camera (and any DIVX)and are 12 seconds movie clips so not a perfect .avi but ok and similar to others. This window also comes up if I drag in a DIVX movie file into TMPGE, even though I am not intersted in DIVX.

Any Ideas?


pwygant  2002-08-21 20:02:37 ( ID:v/fkcvkaosl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Oh, I am using Windows XP and this just started a few months ago, not when I first installed XP.

I am thinking that either explorer is corrupt or there is some kind of plugin, codec, or setting that is off that does this.

Request - TE25 - Delay correction when multiplexing No.26875
JohnDie  2002-08-21 17:46:23 ( ID:kr.prcqakoo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is there a possibility to include a feature to enter audio delay correction values in the multiplexing tools? When processing audio seperately from video with standalone tools like azid and toolame and finally multiplexing the m2v created by tmpgenc and the mp2 created by toolame I do not see any option to specify an audio delay. Would be awful, if such an option was included.

JohnDie  2002-08-21 17:43:06 ( ID:kr.prcqakoo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I multiplexed a svcd compatible m2v and two mp2 streams to a single MPEG-2 SuperVideoCD mpg file. But when trying to cut this huge file (3 CDs) to seperate parts for burning, TMPGEnc only includes one of the two audio tracks in the small parts. So please add a feature to include all contained streams in the cutted stream.
Or did I do anything wrong?


Jim Meyer  2002-08-21 18:56:57 ( ID:evkqquswknk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Agreed. I think if there was just a little more audio capability, it would make an already great software an even better product. Audio merge, designate Left or Right audio, etc. From my understanding, it shouldn't be too difficult. I've been working on some similar software for a proprietary product and the guy sripting that codec seems to think that this isn't rocket science to add these features.

Just my .02

Question - TE25 - "Stream Writing Error" No.26870
Superdeformed  2002-08-21 17:06:15 ( ID:twr9zpzx/ig )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Every time I encode a movie, typically in 2 parts. I start getting the "Stream Writing Error" toward the end of the second file. I start over and it will come up again, but in the different spot.


oermens  2002-08-21 18:32:07 ( ID:lilcnhjltvk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I get this only when i'm cutting or multiplexing a file , & only in version 2.57 in 2.56 it works well for me .

I would say try an older version too, i may help.


Paul M  2002-08-22 18:36:18 ( ID:kqeswzcpkao )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

About a week ago I got the same error message. As I posted then, the problem was that my hard drive was full, but because of cross-linked files causing bad sectors on my hard drive I still thought I had 3.5 gigs free. I used SCAN DISK and Power Defrag to clean up the hard drive, deleted some junk and then I no longer got "stream writing error".



Question - TE25 - Audio out of sync No.26865
Divx  2002-08-21 16:28:55 ( ID:vot6hxxbffo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello

I have tried to convert a Divx Movie I downloaded but the audio is out of sync. I have tried dumping the audio to a wav and using that.

What else should I try?


Olli  2002-08-21 16:34:05 ( ID:k24fqlswccn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Are you doing any kind framerate conversion ? ie is your source NTSC and you are converting to PAL ?

Also does the sync get progressively worse, or does it remain out of sync by a fixed amount throughout the movie ?


Divx  2002-08-21 22:17:55 ( ID:vot6hxxbffo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Nothing special, is being done. And I'm not sure if the frame rate get worse or not. But I know only a minute or so and its off.

Steven


Minion  2002-08-22 00:12:31 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What is the "frame rate" of the "avi/Divx" file?? if it is differant that the Mpeg that you are encodeing to then this is your problem..You have to encode to the same frame rate as your source file, and if you don"t then you will get sync problems and jumpy playback on your DVD Player....


Divx  2002-08-22 04:31:52 ( ID:r.o1gyof2bc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I've check from the very begining the audio is out of sync. Frame rate is 23.

Not sure what else I should try?

Bug report - TE25 - Out of sync when merge VBR mpeg2 No.26858
JN  2002-08-21 09:19:58 ( ID:skqqgcjdvag )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I try to merge 16 mpeg2 files (SVCD, VBR (after 2-pass), 480x576, each file cca 45 MB long ) to one single file. Every file was created from AVI in TMPGEnc. When I merge all files at once, the result is this - the higher the fragment , the more out of sync (1 - no problem, 16 - cca 1.5 second !!). When I try merge by two (16->8->4->2->1, very time-consuming work :-( ) the result is better, but not perfect (seems to me). What is wrong ?


ffast  2002-08-21 09:53:25 ( ID:bziuu02jpsm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

There is notthing worng I think.

You just need to read "* Note for Specification Change in TMPGEnc 2.57

That's BULL!!!!

You make me sorry I ever bought your product. How outrageous!!

What are you trying to do? This is a HUGE step backward for TMPGenc. Are you guys trying to protect and route business to your friend companies over there, or something?

OUTRAGEOUS!!!


Minion  2002-08-21 21:51:33 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I don"t know what Joeagain is talking about, but the reason that your VBR files arent joining properly could be because Tmpgenc has problems accurately cutting or joining files that are VBR and I don"t know of a way to solve the problem unless you use a different joining/editing program to do this type of work......


JN  2002-08-22 06:54:46 ( ID:skqqgcjdvag )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It still don't understand above well. It means that because I used TMPGEncPlus to encode mpeg2 files instead TMPGEnc, I can throw away all my work to recycle bin ? If it means, that I can retain my files and merge it TMPGEnc and everything will be OK, then I must say NO! I tried it with TMPGEnc - with the same result !
To Minion: I am unsuccessfully trying to find other program, that can solve this problem. For example : Mpeg2Vcr - can join, but need to reencode whole file all over again. DVtools - simple, fast, seemingly OK (I can play it in PowerDVD), but the file is confusing for many other applications (cannot do authoring with chapters etc.).
Can somebody recommend me some other program ? Thanks


Minion  2002-08-22 09:11:24 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Power VCR has a good Mpeg editing and joining function but the program is primarily for Mpeg capture but i use the editor .......


JN  2002-08-26 06:31:30 ( ID:skqqgcjdvag )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I tried for joining mpeg2 other 2 programs:
nanoMpeg editor - the result file is playable on PowerDVD from start till end, but when I try to set position by navigator slider, the playback becomes only a coloured noise.
PowerVCR II - the result is not good. The picture stops for a few frames every second. Sound is OK. When attempting to merge again in TMPGEnc, only first fragment int file is processed.

I'm giving up. I wanted my SVCDs to have thumbnail menus, so the clips will be played form first to last. This is possible only with one single file with chapters pointing to it, when using separate files, it always returns to menu after playing single clip. So I will make SVCDs without menus ...

Jim Meyer  2002-08-21 07:07:43 ( ID:evkqquswknk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It would be a nice feature if you could include the ability to select which channel of audio is used, Left or Right.

I have a couple of dozen 4 channel audio DVCam tapes of shows that I am wanting to burn onto CD. The left channel 1 is mixed, right ch.2 is VO only, left channel 3 is sound effects and the right channel 4 is music only.

However my DV capture card only captures via the firewire and is not selective of what channel it grabs... it just takes audio channels 1 & 2. When it is rendered in TMPGEnc, TMPGEnc mixes channel 1 & 2 so that the VO is too hot because channel 2 is VO only (with no music).

I would like to select channel 1 ONLY to be my audio channel.

Is that possible to make that? I would really appreciate it. I'm sure that there must be others out there that may have similar situations.

Thanks! Just so you know, I really think TMPGEnc is a Great program! kudos!

Since TMPGEnc is MPEG encoder, I personaly think it is too much to ask.

If I were you, I take the following steps.

1. split(de-Multiplex) audio and video with TMPGEnc, or record only audio directly from orgial DVCam with PC.
2. edit audio with audio application such as "Crean!" (http://www.steinberg.net/).
3. Multiplex the video and audio with TMPGEnc.
