Ive a mpeg film I want to cut into four parts.
How do I do this with TMPG 3XP
I add a file, Cut - edit pops up so I edit my mpeg into four parts and save so the four sections are in the key frame list, go to the next stage and it only encodes the last section.
What am i doing wrong.
I THINK that this feature has been removed because the 3.0 version supports multiple audio format. Although this was one of the best features in the 2.5 version. I hope they restore this feature back in the future releases.
The feature your talking about can be found in the "Cut-Edit" section after you've loaded your file in the "Set Source" Section.
To cut out a portion from your video, just select the area you want omitted (using the "Set as start frame" & "Set as end frame") and click the "Cut the selected frame range". The new video will merge at the cut point and you can continue to do more cuts as needed. From there, go onto "Set output" & "Encode".
To merge seperate files, just load the files in the order you want them to appear in the "Set source" section. Set you output and encode. Its easy as that.
I've been able to do multiple cuts and merges with some avi files that I encoded to SVCD and have had no problems as compared to the old 2.521
Take pity on me! Completely new to all this - am (rather naughtyily i admit) downloading movies for my kids to watch. These tend to come off kazaa and tend to be avi files. Some of them convert fine, on others TE seems to be having trouble reading the audio part of the files. When i try and load them for conversion, i get a message saying the audio file is not supported.
What i basically want to know is - what on earth is the problem, and can it be fixed? I'd like to beg anyone who feels charitible enough to respond to this to bear in mind just how technically inept i am, its a wonder i can change a light bulb! Please, please explain with instructions suitable for a five year old.
If i smile cheekily enough, will someone divulge their email address so i can talk directly to them about this?
By the way on a side note, I would avoid Kazaa for movies. Many of them are corrupt in some way or have viruses attached and it's also too slow and full of spyware.
If you want the latest movies or anything else for that matter check out Bittorrent. There is nothing that will download faster.
Right - i shall follow your instructions to the letter sah! <salutes>
erm.......if i have problems (and i will inevitably have problems) would you mind terribly if i bugged you again with a barrage of helpless questions? Or will you get frustrated and make the 'spazz' face at your computer, vibing it down your connection to hit me?
I get the following message when i try to ecode from avi to mpge1 "read error occured at adress ... of module TMPGen.exe with ...... When i look at the preview in TMPGE everything is ok. The avi has no bad frames, all codecs are installed but what's going wrong?
First of all go to Options>Enviromental settings>VFAPI plugins and raise the priority of the 'Directshow reader' to 2 or 3 and make it top of the list.
If that doesn't sort it download and install FFDSHOW.
After encoding some AVI files to mpeg, sometimes I only have 1/2 second of audio and then nothing more. Video looks fine.
Audio file is created with Adobe Premiere
If I export the files separately from Premiere (avi without audio and WAV file) then provide them as separate input, everything works fine.
Has anybody experienced this kind of problem? Do you have any solution?
Why did they discarded encoding MP@HL? I need to encode for a Plasma Display at higher Resolution than DVD.
Second, Output of avi-File seems to be buggy. The same file saved as avi with Windows Media 9 Codec in 2.5 was about 7MB in size. Now the files becomes 51MB when saved with TMPGEnc Express.
Yes, everybody must encode for HDTV, this is a veeeeeeeery comon format out there, sure. Man, you have the bucks to pay yourself a plasma TV and you are bitching on a software that does not prices 5% of it. Time to return to reality, this is nice piece of consumer software for people with norma, basic everyday life video needs, no more and no less. I am very satisfied of it even if I regret some of the 2.5 are not in it (who cared about Force Picture Type anyway).
Sure there is only a few speed improve compared to 2.5 but if you read between the lines you will find a lot of new process are done, desactive them and you will have speed gain, or buy this new wonderfull P4 HT with SSE-3, it rocks :-)
Well, lack of activity in this board compared with the early 2.5 days says it all.
This software is way too complicated for average consumers. And anyway, they now have access to a bazillion embedded encoders.
TMPGEnc got where it is catering to the grossly underserved "prosumer/enthusiast" market. That is why we are annoyed 3.0 did not continue the strategy. 3.0 needs a "classic" mode where all the under-the-hood improvements are added to the previous inteface.
By the way, marketing info clearly states 59.94fps is offered but the software does not support that frame rate. This broken promise wasted a lot of my time and is my main beef. (If only the trial is crippled, that is unnecessary now that activation is in use.)
59.94 is clearly there. For MPEG-1. Which you would see if you read the tables where they say what framerates are supported for what.
I'm not sure if 59.94 is even supported by the profile/level that is used in dvd mpeg2, so no big surprise there. imo.
I believe we will see support for higher resolution and framerate in due time.
59.95fps is selectable for Mpeg2, but you'll have to give up using the standard built in template. I've always manually set the settings myself or make my own template so this wasn't a big deal.
T3X seems to be geared towards the more experience users who love to tweak and are comfortable with the different options. I personally have made a complete switch over to T3X after doing some SVCD and DVD projects. The new GUI is great and set up time is a breeze.
I have not experienced that, are you a Pal or NTSC user? I am a Pal uer. But, the interface has a lot to learn to catch up to Tmpeg 2.5 Plus, much better and easier to get around.
Sorry about stupped question.
All the time what I stoped convertation
and after any time try to continue -
it's start from "start point".
What's wrong?
Sorry for the double post. Confused the meaning of title. LOL.
Good day to you all. I have this problem I hope expert here can help me.
I try to merge 2 mpg files using TMPGEnc. It merge & play successfully but whenever it reach the point of joint, it would sound a short beep. What cause this? Anyway to solve it?

So that's why people post with that daft 'Mr' subject line is it!
When you join ensure you click the 'Correct' button first.
If that doesn't cure it then try moving the join a few frames. I.E take a few frames off the end of the first part or take a few off the beginning of the second part.
There are people having the same mistake as me?? :D
>So that's why people post with that daft 'Mr' subject line is it!
I tried all this before. Hopefully you still have other solution?
