The .avi files my new Canon Powershot A620 cannot be loaded into TMPGenc - never had this problem with any other .avi's put out by digital cameras. Is it a weird codec or something? Other programs (FX Video Converter, Digital media Converter) can open them fine, but I LOVE TMPGenc and really want to use this - any ideas?

I want to create an mpeg movie from a large collection of jpeg images.
The images have small changes from one to the next.
How can I do this with TMPGEnc?
v2.5

Hi, some of the files I've imported give me an error message when I try to edit them. It says "Illegal MPEG system stream" What is that? I've imported other dvd files off the same dvd and they don't give me this message. Any thoughts?

I've got a few dvd files imported into the program, and I'd like to combine them into 1 file so it will play as a continuous movie. Is that possible?

Hi there,
I am working with the trial version and have imported an uncompressed AVI video file and a WAV audio file. When i tell it to encode it comes up with the error message AN ERROR OCCURRED WHEN ACN WAS INITIALSIED. Any clues as to what this means?

Many thanks,

Hi,

Transfering AVI files to put on DVD, worked fine with free TMPGEnc, which has no expired so I have had to get TMPGEnc plus.

With the free version all I had to do was open the avi as the video source and it auto loaded the audio source, the same file. However with plus this does not work and when I try and load the audio source it says it will not open or if unsported.

Help

many thanks

I have the same problem! i select the avi file for the video but the audio line stays blank. if i manually choose the avi file for audio, it says it is unsupported. i'm guessing it's a version of avi (xvid, etc) that tmpeg does not support...??

You need to extract the audio from your AVI file and use it as the audio source in TMPGEnc Plus

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can extract the audio from your AVI file using VirtualDub.
You can find the latest version of VirtualDub for free at:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/virtualdub/VirtualDub-1.6.11.zip?download

To extract the audio from your AVI file:

1.) Run VirtualDub, click on "File", select "Open video file", and choose your AVI file.
2.) Click on "Audio and select "Full Processing"
3.) Click on "File" and select "Save Wave"
4.) Use this wav file as your "Audio Source" when encoding your AVI file using TMPGEnc Plus

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An alternative is to:
1.) Convert the AVI file to a M2V file (no audio)using TMPGEnc Plus
2.) Convert the wav file to a MP2 file
3.) Multiplex the two files together making a MPG file.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Convert the AVI file to a M2V file:
1.) Open TMPGEnc Plus
2.) Click on "Load" and select a DVD template
3.) Choose your AVI file as the "Video Source"
4.) Click on "Start"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can convert the wav file to a MP2 file using dBpowerAMP Music Converter.
You can find the latest version of dBpowerAMP Music Converter for free at:
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/bin/dMC-r11.5.exe

To convert the WAV file to a MP2 file:

1.) Open dBpowerAMP Music Converter
2.) Open your WAV file (from VirtualDub)
3.) Choose Mp2
4.) Select Frequency 4800 and Bitrate 384kbps and click on "Convert"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To multiplex the video and uadio together into a MPG file:

1.) Open TMPGEnc Plus
2.) Click on "File" and choose "MPEG Tools"
3.) Choose "MPEG-2 Program VBR" and brouse for your video input (M2V) and your audio input (MP2)
4.) Click on "Run" and it will multiplex the two files into one DVD compliant MPG file

I hope that is of help to you

I have the opposite problem. When I try to load the AVI file it says that it's not supported and only loads the audio portion.

On avi to MPEG1 conversion started to get error "Read error occured at address 7C910F29 of module ntdll.dll with 00000000".
Any suggestions?

I had the same problem: Read error occurred at address 7C910F29 of module 'ntdll.dll' with FFD5FFD8.

What about subtitles? Is there a posibility to compie a DVD with subtitles?

When using the new version of TMPGEnc the resulting mpg file comes out too small (it doesn't fit the screen). The old version didn't do this. When I ply the VCD created from the mpg that used TMPGEnc 2.5 the video gets blown up to fit the screen making it blurry. How do I create a mpg that starts out bigger? If I try to make a 640 x 480 video using the Advanced tab the video just goes outside the working area. Help!

Just load your file, select the right VCD template and then select 'Full screen (keep aspect ratio)' as the 'arrange method'

I am trying to join 2 mpeg2 VBR files. I used MPEG Tools and it created the joined file but didn't take any audio from the second file. Did I miss something??

Thanks,
Greg

Is the audio the same bitrate, sample rate, format e.t.c?

I have this "problem"/bug too. And I know audio is the samekind, because those all are ripped from the same dvd. And it always looses the audio, but I've just lived with it. (But because there is no "save project" option, I think I'm not going to edit those videos again, even that bug would be fixed.)

I'm trying to convert an AVI file so I can stick it on a VCD and watch it, but it's giving me problems. It's only 51 minutes long and 578 megs in size, but when I stick it into TMPGEnc, it tells me it's 96 minutes long and it'll end up being like 961 megs. I've been using this program for years and I've never had this problem. Can someone help?

I have an MPEG file about 1 hour 20 minutes long. I am using the "clip frame" option to get out some VHS tracking lines. When it is done the audio is out of sync. I seached all the previous posts and can't find anything of help.
All I am doing is cutting out a few lines at the top and bottom and the audio is off. I tried it several times several different ways, even clipping the same amount off the top and sides and still in is off. Yes my original file is fine and there are no dropped frames.
PLEASE HELP!!

If all you are doing is simply clipping the frame then don't bother re-encoding the audio.
Just create a 'Video' only MPEG then use the simple multiplexer in the MPEG tools to mux your audio back in to the video.

Can you explain in more detail please?

I've checked all over and can't find the MPEG tools. How do you get to them? All the help file tells you is how to use them but not how to get to them.
Thanks.

I was using the wizard which is why I couldn't find the tools. Anyway I did it just like you said, 6 hours later they are still out of sync. Any other ideas?

Is the audio advanced or delayed.
You can use the 'audio gap correct' function in the 'source range' function to correct sync issues.
Just do a small test clip to get the sync right first.
