I am desperate and at nervous breakdown point after 3 days on this....

I have a set of Avi files which I'd like to have on VCDs. I downloaded TMPGE and converted the first to MPG: it worked beautifully. I was VERY happy.
I then attempted with the others but ALL would tell me unsupported file. I then raised the environmental setting for directshow to 1 then 2 the 3....TMPGE now accepts the files but when I click to encode it has an error and shuts down without any message. I then downloaded LsxMpeg encoder to see if it was a TMPGE problem, and Lsx would not accept the files at all (like TMPGE before raising the directshow setting) complaining about codecs problem. I then went to the MS site and downloaded the latest codecs pack and media player 9. All the files play perfectly in media player, but they still only get accepted by TMPGE when directshow is on setting 2, and then as soon as I click encode it shuts down misteriously. I am going nuts over this, any help would be wonderful.

Thank-you in advance!

You Made your Problem Much worse By installing Media Player 9, there are Major Conflicts between MP9 and Tmpgenc and Tmpgenc in Most cases run properly with MP9 on the same machine..What you should do is do a System Restore to before you installed MP9, Then Maybe try something like Frameserveing the AVI file to Tmpgenc with V-Dub and see it you can get that to work...

i want to know how to select the output file with mpeg-video stream and mpeg-audio stream in one stream in TMPGEnc Plus 2.5. when i open the project wizard, individual video and audio stream is the default selection and i can't choose the option of combined vidoe and audio as output. pls help.

That's because you are obviously choosing one the DVD templates and leaving the audio as 'Linear PCM audio'
An MPEG cannot be combined with a wav using TMPG, you need to either choose a VCD or SVCD template or change the audio to 'MPEG1 layer II' in the first screen of the project wizard.

thank you very much

On some AVI films I try to convert, the picture is superb but no sound at all...the sound p[erfectly on Windows media player unconverted,,but on conversion..no sound..this is not the case on all AVI films...can anyone suggest anything please..I am a dummy at this

This is no help, but I have the exact question you do. So if there are others out there, maybe someone has figured this one out.

Read the answer Below....

Of the avi movies I get from Kazaa, some of them encode into mpegs just fine, while others are missing the video. I can't tell the difference between the avi's that do convert and those that don't. Meaning, if two files are mpeg layer3 audio and divxmpg4 video, both .avi's, one might convert just fine to the VCD format, and the other will not have any sound.

And ideas?

I read something about stripping the audio out of the avi first, and then converting it to a wav file. I'm fuzzy on this though.

Is there something dumb I'm missing? Settings, options, etc?

No you Probably not Missing anything ,Sometimes tmpgenc Just can"t for some reason encode the audio in some files so the way to solve this Problem is to extract the audio to a WAV file with "Virtual Dub" and use the wav file as the audio source..You just load the AVI file into V-Dub and go to "File" to "Save as WAV"....

Thanks for all your help so far Minion! The remove-overscans issue worked when I used "center (keep aspect ratio)". Anyway, I found out in the test file for the remove-overscans issue that in the single part of the video, the audio is out of sync by about maybe half a second or 1 second. I know that because the subtitles there have colored fill-ins so when the singer gets to that part of the word, the word fills up bit by bit and it's behind. The source file wasn't like that. But when the talking part is on, it fits perfectly as well as the subtitles! Is there a way to correct this? I know it's only a second and not all that important, but still, I want to learn as much as I can! I tried bbMPEG but the problem is still there after.

This Can usually be easilly Fixed IF the Audio is the Same amount out of sync the whole Way through the Movie..It is allmost impossible to fix if the audio gradually goes out of sync , If you are useing "BBMpeg" to Mux then use the Start up Audio delay in the Program stream settings and do a Bit of trial and error until it is in sync...It is easier with the Muxer in Mpeg2VCR...

I have a .avi file (PAL, 768x576, 25fps) and converted it to mpg(PAL VCD).
However, when I play the mpg file in Media Player, the picture jumps (blinks) once for about every few seconds.

Is there anything wrong for the setting?

Wrong field order?

Hi,

I have an one-hour instruction video that I wanted to port to Pocket PC and view it as often as I can. I have used Dazzle's product to capture the content onto a mpeg1 file. However, while capturing the output option is limited to vcd quality (320x240, 30fps etc) so the file size comes up pretty big,

I use TMPG to open the mpeg1 source file, but all the selection on fps, bitrate etc are not changable.

Does anyone know how to transcode the mpeg1 file into another mpeg1 smaller mpeg1 file? (I could sacrifice lower quality for the space)

Thanks

Go to LOAD select extra and then choose Unlock. Now you can change the Template Settings

Thanks, it works now!

I have a 25fps AVI which is 100% , When using the new TMPGEnc 2.510 with a PAL VCD template the output is very jerky, Its not converting the frame rate correctly. I uninstalled and went back to 2.59 and all is 100%

Has this been reported ?

Not fixed then ?

I've been having a problem lately with tmpgenc 2.58 (plus)...I load a movie to encode(DVD format)and when I click start I get a message that says "write error occured at address 77f52109(sometimes #77f51024)of module 'ntdll.dll'with 00000000"....I've tried to change priority of "direct show" & "AVI VFW compatibility reader" in the environmental setting and neither doesn't work. The movie is NOT corrupted,I know.....maybe I'm not changing the settings far enough? help me out please! Oh,I also get an "invalid point operation" message at the end of the encodings when I DO get it to work...can somebody give me some feedback on these issues please??

I have the exact same problem but i have had no luck either hoping that someone can answer this.


PLEASE

K, having read all these messages at all the threads, I figured it was time to find a solution. Á solution, cuz it might not work for everyone. Think it depends on the diff used codecs in the movies.

What I did to get rid of the "ntdll.dll"-error.
I used a Xvid movie (being 8mile).
Opened VirtualDub, saved the .wav file. Renamed the .wav to .mp3 (cuz it's still compressed) and decoded it to .wav with MusicMatch (seems to be the fastest)
Then I set -> audio, to -> no audio. Set ->video, to ->direct stream copy.
And saved the video file.
Then I loaded the new video file, and set ->audio to ->wav audio and selected the wav-file created with MM.
Started frame serving it to TMPGenC and pointed it to the .vdr.avi file.
TADAAA.......error gone.

Finally, thought something was wrong with my PC..

All that re-saving the Video and Audio wasn't necessary.

Why didn't you just load up the XVID AVI in Virtualdub and frameserve straight to TMPG as it was or just use Virtualdub to convert the audio to a wav and load it directly into TMPG.


ASHY

euhm well yes, that resaving WAS necessary, cuz straight frame-serving it caused tmpgenc to tell me: "Not supported or unknown file format" or sumtin.

With 1 file I even had to reprocess it to another codec..........

I downloaded a compressed AVI, When I tried to convert AVI into a VCD format (MPEG-1) the video was choppy and not fluid. I found that breaking it into both Video and Audio and converting those files into a VCD format (MPEG-1) works a little better than direct convertion. The problem I'm running into is the video is still not fluid... its choppy (not as bad as before). I'm still hacking my way through TMPGEN, does anyone out there have any ideas or tricks to correct this. Any help would be great. Thanks in Advance for any help.

It sounds Like you are encodeing to the Wrong Frame Rate...You have to encode to the same frame rate as the source file....and don"t double post...

This Error will be shown when i going to cut an self encoded File.
What does it mean? At the editwindow i see nothing and than it crashes!
PLZ Help!

When I try to encode my audio and convert the frequency using toLame and SSRC in TMPGen. When I hit the Start button, I get a error message "TMPGEnc.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program." I am running Windows 2000. It also tells me an error log is being created. What is going on? Where is this error log?

Thanks

The error Log is Part of your Opperateing systems error reporting system, read your User manual...Maybe try useing a seperate audio encoder or not useing "Toolame" & "SSRC"....
