Dear all, Pegasys Inc released TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress. For this occasion, we also open a new BBS where everybody will exchange idea, provide help, constructively disert about XPress or the art of encoding, in a mutual and lawfully respect, and desire to achieve the best. The Pegasys team welcomes you, and wish you a good day at the TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress BBS.
Please help me get up to speed. I am standing in for the regular engineer and having to get experience by trial by fire. Using a 2.8Ghz, 1GB RAM, 800FSB PC with Win 2000 and the latest TMPGEnc version as an encoder, we compressed over a dozen MPEGs to 352X240 29,97fps CQ_VBR 90 Layer 2 48000Hz 120kbps. Most of the inidividual projects created a great reduced size file. But about 8 of the compressed MPEGs dropped the last 3.3 sec of audio when we played them. They started at 30.3 and the audio cut off at 27.0. All the video was fine, full 30.3 sec, but silent at the end. As a learning tool, I had downloaded a copy of the TMPGEnc software on a PC at home (Pent II, 266Mhz, 128MB RAM running Win 98 SE). I took the 8 original files home to experiment and the final product was great. Same template was used at both locations. Can anyone explain this? I really need the machine at work to do the job for us. What do I change?
I think a little more detailed info on your actual problem and what you are trying to acheive wouldn't go amiss here.
Also why the hell did you post it as a bug report?
AVISource("neogeo.avi")
BicubicResize(352,240,0,0.6)
v1=selectevery(2,0)
v2=selectevery(2,1)
vid=Interleave(v1,v2).weave()
#vid=Interleave(v2,v1).weave() #don't know the right field order
Return(vid)
This results in a Half-D1 interlaced Video (29.97 fps).
(can't test it here, but it should work)
Everytime I try to open an AVI file I get an error saying that the format is not supported. I have the NIMO codek pack installed and I'm able to watch the movies on my computer. I'm running on windows XP. Does anyone knows whats happening?
Try opening TMPGEnc and then go to the Environmental Settings. Under VFAPI plug-in, right click on the number next to "Directshow Multimedia File Reader" and click on "Higher Priority" again and again until that row is at the top of the list. Then, try opening your AVI again.

Hi, everyone. I hope someone may know what's going on here, because I definitely don't. LOL
I have an AVI that I have been attempting to convert successfully for the past 7 hours, and have been failing miserably. I am using TMPGEnc to convert to MPG (or m2v and mp2) so that I can use TMPG DVD Author to output it to DVD. However, every time it converts the AVI, the audio is choppy (it skips every few seconds), even though the video does not. It still ends up lining up with the video, but it hangs for a split second, then stutters, then plays like it should. I've tried so many different fixes that I'm not even sure what I've tried and what I haven't. I've kind of exhausted all of the options I know of, though.

I have used TMPGEnc to put my movie into VCD format. It did that fine and then I used Nero to burn it to my CR-R which it completed fine. I then tried to play it in my Magnovox DVD player and I can only see the title page of the movie but it freezes or won't go forward. I looked on videohelp.com and users said my DVD model should play VCDs...so I don't know what the problem is. The movie did play on my computer's DVD drive. Is it my DVD player or is it the way I encoded it on TMPGEnc. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
What do you mean the title page of the movie?
You don't mean a menu do you?
If you simply mean the beginning credits then you may have burned your disk to fast.
4x is the best speed for VCD. It also depends on the quality of your disks. Which disks do you use?
When I saw the title page, I believe it is the menu page. I press play, and almost all the different numbers on the remote. You can slow down the burning speed in Nero?
If you saying that you have created this Menu in Nero?
If so it will NOT play past the menu until you select the track to be played.
For example if you have put only one movie on the disk you will only have one track, so just select the '1' key on your remote when you see the menu then press 'Enter'
If you are still having problems then I would advise you to create the VCD without a menu in Nero.
Hi. I found out that my AVI video has twitchy playback. Could this be a codec problem or is the original video supposed to be like this? I'm not sure because I forgot who made the video. Anyway, the video is fine most of the time. However in certain scenes, the character will sort of twitch when she's walking (this is a cartoon by the way). It's most noticeable in the preview at the end where entire frames would twitch. I went frame by frame and some frames would go 1 frame backwards before advancing! Is it the author's encoding problem?
I opened GSpot and it said it uses Xvid. I opened Virtualdub's File Information screen and it said the AVI uses the ffvfw MPEG-4 codec. The video is 23.976 fps. I have ffdshow set to decode: XVID, DivX 3, DivX 4, and DivX 5. I have ffvfw set to decode: XVID, DIV3. My FFDSHOW is version December 13, 2002. My FFVWFW is version October 28, 2003.
I'm making a DVD so I'm just wondering if these twitchy problems will transfer over when I'm converting with TMPGEnc Plus.
Are you saying that when playing the original AVI in Media player you are experiencing this problem?
By the way your codecs are very old. Uninstall all FFDSHOW and FFVFW codecs and download the new one below which is FFDSHOW and FFVFW combined.
If this XVID has been encoded using a recent version of XVID then this is your problem. The way XVID handles bitstreams has been changed in the recent version and so requires the update for correct playback. http://athos.leffe.dnsalias.com/ffdshow-20040508.exe
By the way Virtualdub will always say that the codec it uses is FFVFW or similar as Virtualdub is a VFW application only.
I did not know how to configure it since it's even more confusing now so I left it as is after the installation. The problem persists. Whenever I try to open it in Virtualdub, it says I do not have the VFW decompressor. I thought that file above is a FFVFW and FFDSHOW combo?
Yes it is, but obviously YOU must enable the codecs you wish to be decoded.
You must select 'VFW Configuration' from the FFDSHOW programs menu and enable the relevant decoders.
Also you didn't answer my question. Do you see this effect in Media player?
I enabled all the necessary codecs in VFW configuration window. The twitchiness still occurs in both Virtualdub and Media Player. I'm guessing the creator made some errors to cause this glitch then. Oh well, I hope the next episode won't be like this. Thanks for the codec upgrade though! :)
Actually the 'Swap fields' WILL reverse the dominance because the dominant field to be played first remains the same however the fields have been swapped so in effect the opposite field is now dominant, but this is not really the correct way to do it as you point out.
It should however have been enough to test whether the field order was the problem with the AVI.
There is a specific filter that can do this, but at the moment I can't think of the name of it.
However I seem to remember using something different when I had a similar problem with the field order. Nevertheless the method seems to be the same by just shifting the frame one line.
There is a big difference in Field Swap and wrong Field Order.
Try it by yourself. A still Picture with Field Swap will look totaly different from one with a complementary Field Order.
Ashy, I tried your Reverse Field Dominance filter and it still won't work. Actually, I made sure I had the filter on because I didn't see any differences at all.
After re installing my computer (Win 98 SE) there is no audio after converting a mov file into a mpeg 1 file. I did that before and it worked. Playing those files with the Quicktime Player is fine. I already installed tons of codecs like the nimo pack, read Faq´s at forums and other stuff. But nothing helped. I also have the QTReader.vfp. What is wrong? It worked before!
Thanks for helping.
this might be you have a compressed audio... have you try checking the file using Gspot? This program shows what video and audio format you have and upon clicking "render", it will show if you have a good copy for video or/and audio.
No, I didn´t try using Gspot yet. Anyway, I did convert a certain MOV file before and now I´m having that problem with the same file. It doesn´t work anymore. But thank you for helping anyway.
