My dvd player plays Xvid ,so when i goto a family gathering I like to bering dvd's for the kids to watch ,So I rip the dvd to avi and one set of english sub(some of the older people watch as well) and I hard code them using TMPGEnc Plus 2.5.So i just put the sub pack in the same folder as the avi I am codeing it to and click save as>avi...then i select my xvid codec and i set my audio as WMA V2 @ 128kbps, 48 khz,stereo 15/kb/s(my player only decodes Compression format : Dolby Digital, MP3, PCM, WMA
MP3 bit rates : 32 - 256 kbps and no matter what it freezes at 51%

It might be easier to use TMPGEnc 2.5 for encoding just the video without subtitles. Subtitles isn't supported natively in TMPGEnc 2.5 so are you using a plug-in? From my experience, plug-ins from 3rd party will cause problems so its better to just use the program for what its good at then use VirtualDub to overlay the subtitles and do a quick recompress, all of it should take a few minutes.

Background:
I have a problem with the "Directional Links". I.e. the paths between menu items that control how your selection (cursor) moves when you press UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT on the DVD player.

Problem:
In TDA 2, I activate the display of the links and can see how they change when moving the objects around. The problem is that the algorithm that decides which of the other menu items is the closest (or what the criteria is) is a little too smart. When I have text items of different length it is sometimes impossible to get the paths in a "natural" way.

I have tried different work-arounds to get the text boxes of equal size but that is also problem. If I try controlling horizontal size the whole box scales including the font size of the text. Setting font size back rescales the box.
I even tried to fool it by adding space characters ended by a "hardspace" (ASCII code 160) but that makes it totally misbehave.

Qustions:
Is there a way to take control of these links manually?
Any other hints?

How much does the Tmpgenc products utilize duel core CPU`s at the moment
especially in mpeg2 encoding...

Thanks

Not sure, but I have found that dual processing seems to fall back to single core, at some point. Having a bunch of files, it starts out with 100%, but then later comes down to about 50%, and the second core seems to be just idling. Not working for the tmpgenc process anyway.

Has anybody else noticed the same? I havent spent much time investigating this, dont know what triggers it.

Quick update - this fall back to single core seems to happen when TMPGEnc moves on to the next file in the list. Testing done with 4.2.3.193. Is there somewhere where I can report this as a potential bug?

Hi there. I downloaded the Trial Version of TMPGEnc4 XPress (Vista upadte version). The problem i seem to be having is when i'm trying to encode a Xvid/Divx file to WMV video/audio, teh audio side of things is just all hiss and crackles.

I've used WinAvi and RiverPast converters with no problems, they just dont have the great options TMPGE has, like output size etc.. Also the fact that it appears a decent bit faster for myself as well.

I just wanted to know if there is a fix i can use or is it a problem with the program. I would buy the full version if i knew this wasnt an issue at all.

My setup is,
Vista Ultimate 32bit
Intel Q6600 Quad Core
4Gig Corsair Ram
Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6
2x150gig Raptors Raid-0
2xSamsung 500gig

Any help ideas would be apprecaited.

You may want to double check your Xvid/DivX audio file. If its AC3(maybe MP3 too, I haven't checked MP3) then you'll need an external AC3(mp3) decoder or TXP4 won't be able to read the audio portion and you get hisses/crackles.

i've been having this problem for a month now. i don't know what else to do. TMPGEnc never failed any of my files before.

i'd like to convert an avi file to mpg with subtitle.
but everytime i tried, the audio wont come out. but when i did it without inserting the subtitle, there's no audio problem.
what is wrong with it? i've used TMPGEnc to convert many of my avi files to mpg with subtitle before but like i said, it never failed me until this time.

please help..

thanks

I am trying to convert a 720p x264 .mkv video to HR.HDTV.XviD .avi format (960x528). is it possible and if so, what would be the best method??

Thanks

Jesse

No It's not possible, TMPGEnc 2.5 AVI container output doesn't allow you to change the resolution beyond 720x480 with any codec( ie. Xvid )

I have got this problem after i reinstalled my pc after a crash.

I cant open Wav files in Tmpgenc anymore, every time it says :
"wav file" can not open, or unsorported.

The wav file can be played in a player with no problems.

Im using the free 2.524.63.181 version

I have tried fidling with the vfapi settings but nothing helps.

I also don't have any problems when opening avi files with wav sound.

I hope somebody can help.

What are the typical settings to convert MPEG2 transport NTSC to MPEG2 transport PAL and how to increase the video brightness?

Just wonder why I'm not able to run TMPGEnc 2.5 in WinXP or Vista ? Only can run in Win2k ??? Why converting a 40 min RMVB file takes about 2.5 hours when run in pentium 4 2.4GHz, 512MB RAM pc ??? Any way to make it faster ? Thanks.......

Hi

One big problem we have using the software with any Quicktime codec is that you cannot set the bitrate for Quicktime codecs for audio or Video. This would be a very welcome addition to any future updates etc.

I need TMPGEnc plus 2.53.35.130 or 2.54.37.135. I didn't find them in the site. Are they still available?
Pls kindly inform me to aiaialiu@163.com or aiaialiu@gmail.com.
Thanks a lot.

Hallo,
is there a way to process only audio stream in TMPGEnc4?
(I want to keep original video stream and process only audio as output format)
I see a bunch of templates, but non of them says "direct stream copy" for video :(

I know that i could do that by "demux->process audio->mux back", but its really a pain in the ass, especially if you have like 50+ small files to process.

btw,
It would be nice to have a batch demux/mux feature in TMPGEnc.
