When using TMPGEnc i cannot open 2 of my avi files. two part movie both parts wont open (cannot open or is not supported) all other avi files open fine and convert. please help me???
I just downloaded the free version of software today. When I attempted to convert an AVI to DVD NTSC, it would not load an AVI created by Pinnacle Studio 8 capture, it said that the format was unsupported. What am I doing wrong?
For DV AVI files try this, Go to "options" to "Enviromental settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the Priority of the "AVI2(OpenDML) File Reader" to "1" or "2"..and if that doesn"t work then try Raiseing the "Direct Show File Reader" to "1" or "2"...
Your audio is Gone Because either it was a format that Tmpgenc does not Officially support(AC3)or you don"t have the filters or codecs to decode that audio format or Tmpgenc is Just not accessing the codecs or filters to decode the audio, What you need to do is Use something like "Virtual Dub" or "AVI-MuX" to Extract the audio to Wav format and use the wav file as the audio source...
I have the same problem as Jhing does. Great video after conversion but no audio. Installed are DivX, Xvid and Nimo Lite CodecPack, so the reason why it does not work cannot be the missing codec. I have also tried conversion of several different (with and without AC3) avi files, but still no luck.
What do you mean with "or Tmpgenc is Just not accessing the codecs or filters to decode the audio," ? What could be a reason for that ?
Tmpgenc does Not Officially support AC3 audio so even if you do have the right codecs and filters it usually will not decode the audio..And Tmpgenc does not support "VBR Mp3" either so if the audio is that format then Tmpgenc will not decode it..and Sometimes even if you have all the right codecs and filters it just will not decode the audio sometimes, for no Real reason and you just have to deal with it..I don"t even use Mpeg encoders to encode the audio I allways use a seperate Audio encodeing program so I can get the Best possible Audio Quality...
Hey, I downloaded a movie trailer that was 24 fps! I did not know there was a 24! I ran it under VirtualDub and it said it had a VBR track so I switched the Audio to "Full Processing Mode", then saved the WAV file. Next, I set the Video to "Direct Stream Copy" and Audio to "No Audio", then saved the AVI file. In TMPGEnc, I selected the video and audio sources and started encoding. Since the trailer was only 3 minutes long, it was very fast. I viewed the MPEG clip but all it showed was black with no sound in mplayer2.exe! Why is this? I have texted both the AVI and the WAV and both worked fine.
Yes 24FPS is the same as 23.97FPS it is NTSC Film..For there to be Video in the Mpeg file you have to see video in the screen while encodeing..Try this ,Go to "options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the Priority of the "Direct Show MultiMedia File Reader" to "2"...This should fix your problem and Try raiseing the "Wav File Reader" also for the Audio...
The "VFAPI Plugins" just Make Tmpgenc compatible with different Formats,Most AVI formats like DivX/XVid/Mpeg-4 are Direct show Formats so the Direct show File reader makes it so tmpgenc can read these formats, It should not effect how your other files are encoded but if it does Just change the priority back or raise a Different Vfapi Plugin....
Everytime I frameserve from premier 6.0 to tmpgenc to encode my avi files into mpeg1 giles, tmpgenc closes itself just before the encoding finishes, so i keeping getting mpeg files which are 1-3 seconds short. Tmpgenc works fine if i open an avi file directly, so does anyone know of any settings or something which may be causing this problem, its really frustrating.
Why is it that when I start the program, it says "You can use MPEG-2 function as trial for more 29 days." I thought this was a free version of the software?
It is freeware. But the function for making MPEG-2 files in the program is only trial while the other things in the program are free. I guess MPEG-2 files are just better quality...
The "free" thing harkens back to the early days when people were mostly doing Mpeg 1 encoding and the Mpeg 2 stuff was flying "under the radar". Then the SW caught on and became widely used.
Anytime an Mpeg 2 encoder (or decoder) is distributed, a license fee must be paid to the organization which doles out money to patent holders. The author had to start charging to cover this. Relative to other, grossly overpriced, software (Cleaner, etc) TMPGEnc is a real bargain.
If you want sticker shock, start pricing Dolby AC-3 encoders. Ulead charges $200 just for the plugin. Dolby needs to consider a new pricing model.
So does that mean that I can still make files that will work on a VCD without MPEG 2? Sorry if I am asking dumb questions, but I am new to all of this. Thanks for your help!
hi, i've just started using my pc to create vcd's - i upload my videos using my dv player and my firewire card and capture using a ulead product - then i get a huge avi file - so then i use tmpgenc to convert it to to a vcd file (mpg1 - since i'm in the uk i encode it in the pal format) - i then use nero to burn it to a vcd. which is all very well and good for me, the vcd play fine - but my american friend wants a copy and every time i try to convert the mpg1 file in tmpgenc from a pal file to a ntsc file it cuts off 20 seconds at the end of my 23 minute film, which looks dumb.
does anyone know why and if it's possible to rectify the situation? i don't want to have to start from scratch again if i can avoid it.
Im new to this program could someone tell me how to convert avi files to mpeg I have tried this once and got a great picture but I did not get any sound

You Can NOT use Tmpgenc to convert a Pal File to a NTSC VCD, Tmpgenc doen Not do Proper Frame rate conversions So you will Have Problems with the Playback Being Jumpy or Jerky and the Audio will go out of sync and many other problems can come up...You will have to convert the source files to NTSC before you can encode them with Tmpgenc or you can try Useing AVISynth to frameserve the files and do the Frame rate conversion.....
I was wondering where I can get an audio editing program that can let me adjust the audio length to the same length of the video so when I use TMPG to encode it doesn't go out of sync..
There are a Couple good Programs that will do this Like Sound Forge and Cool Edit But What is the Best is Vegas Video cuz you can also load in the Video and adjust the audio length and see if they Line up and Be able to play the File before rendering the new audio file...
I hope that fixes my problem because the problem is when i encode the movie, at the beginning audio and video syncs and after like 1 minute or so it starts to go out of sync and by the end of the movie it's totally out of sync...
I have a SVCD video clip. When the video run to the middle, the picture become choppy (stop and go), but the audio is good. . No matter I run it from a disk or from my hard drive. The problem always happens at the same spot. Can I use TMPG to fix this problem, or other way to fix the problem?
Thank you.
