i have a 700mb avi file. i encoded video & audio separately. i encoded video to m2v(svcd) & ac-3 audio to dolby surround. then i multiplex them to mpg. the final size would be 1.3gb. when i try to cut them into half so can fit into 2 cd-r using merge & cut it won't let me. i can only cut it on encoded m2v file. anyone got any idea?
TMPG will not cut MPEGs with Ac3 audio. You will need to use a program called MME.exe which comes contained in folder which is a TMPG MPEG2 codec. http://www.marumo.ne.jp/mpeg2/
I used Tmpgenc and Tsunami Author to create a DVD+R master and sent it for professional replication by Denon Digital (Georgia, USA). Denon rejected the DVD master for replication and sent the following error info:
"Video Manager IFO and BUP files in the same ECC block"
"The DVD-Video specifications require that Video Manager Information file (VIDEO_TS.IFO) and its backup (VIDEO_TS.BUP) NOT be recorded in the same ECC block."
"...If the two files overlap within the same ECC Block, it is possible that if the ECC fails, it will cause both files to be unreadable".
"This problem is caused by the authoring system that created the image. It is the responsibility of the authoring system to ensure that these files do not overlap within the same ECC Block."
"With normal use, a disc may develop scratches and other physical defects over time. If an error should occur in the ECC Block where both of these files are recorded, then in may render both files unreadable. It is for this reason that this rule is set to Warning SEVERITY."
Hence the DVD was rejected for professional replication by Denon.
I offered to reauthor the DVD in Sonic, and Denon said yes to try that - they hadn't had any problems with professional replication of DVDs authored with Sonic. I reauthored in Sonic and this solved the problem. No red flags or even yellow flags.
Fortunately I had encoded the video using my default parameters in tmpgenc set up to exactly match the parameters required by Sonic authoring to prevent re-encoding by Sonic (those parameters are 8000kbps max, VBV=224, and more).
I prefer the versatility of TMPGEnc Author over Sonic, and home duplication of TMPGEnc Author DVDs has worked fine. But TMPGEnc Author apparently doesn't pass the test for PROFESSIONAL REPLICATION. The Denon plant is huge, cranking out hundreds of thousands of DVDs like "Lord of the Rings", Britney Spears, etc. - so I'm not talking about a local dupe house, but a facility the replicates DVDs for worldwide use.
Does anyone know the scoop here or have a solution? I want to use "Author" for my professional replication jobs, not Sonic. But for now, Author is out for that.
This happens only if you use the Burning Engine of TMPGEnc DVD Author. The use of an other Burnin' Application will prevent this.
I do it this way:
Authoring with TMPGEnc DVD Author
Maybe some Color-Corrections with IFOEdit and/or VOBEdit <- That's only for my Ego ;)
Burning a DVD with Nero 5.10.xxxx
I only use Verbatim DVD-R, Sony accepts those Discs for Replication.
Be sure to encode only your video with TMPEG (select stream type as ES (video-only)). Export your audio as an AIF or WAV file from your editor and lay the video and audio as seperate tracks in the timeline. Let Encore encode the audio for you.
>Does one just delete the files since there were no registry entries?
yes just delete all files, there are registry entries left over from free version concerning the 30 days free m-peg2 encoding, these entries cannot be deleted
Well I downloaded many TV SHOW episodes (star trek, for example).
They are MPG NTSC.
With TMPGEnc DVD Author I can add those files to any track and author a DVD.
The problem is that AUDIO is synced at the beginning bet gets more and more desynced during the playback... at the end of the episode audio is BADLY desynced.
Load the source file into "Vitualdub mpeg2" and view a later part of the file where you can see the sync clearly. If it is out of sync you need to re-encode the file before using DVD Author
I'm using the trial version of DVD Author and I've got a question regarding menu settings: Is it possible to create a 16:9 format main menu? Because creating a standard menu in TDA causes the menu on a 16:9 tv to shrink.
After reading some posts on this BBS about TEMPGEnc out of synchronization, I have seen that's the same problems of mine. My capture card is the Flyvideo98 and my video card is the 3D Phantom XP-3800 Pro with 64MB memory, OS Win 2K Pro, 40GB HD, AMD Athlon 1GB CPU, audio card PCI Avance (ALS4000). Programs I'm using: Power VCR II 3.0 SE, WindDVD, Nero, TMPGEnc DVD, Ulead movie factory and so on. Capturing from VHS in DVD NTSC 720x480 or DVD PAL 720x480 profiles, the resulting captured file is perfect. No problem with audio and video synchronization. But when using any authoring program to convert to VOB file, the standard for DVD profile, audio and video get out of synchronization. I have tried any single option on DVD format and no success. It seems the only format that has no problem is VCD format, but quality is very poor. And it's no sense having a DVD drive to burn DVDs and recorde files in VCD format. WinDVD has an option that gets no problem but resolution is only 352x288 and the result video is not so good. What one should do to have a good resolution without audio and video synchronization problem? What software(s) does the standard industry use? What are we simple mortals going to do? Any one has a good solution to put an end to this problem? Hope someone can answer. Seeo then
That's always a problem with those crappy MPEG2-Capture-Programs. They all are producing *shitty* MPEG-Streams with lot's of DTS/PTS-Problems.
That's not a problem for Software-Players, but DVD Athoring Tools do need propper Streams. Try Project X for demuxing and correcting you Stream, i bet, this will work.
No, sorry AFAIRC there is no English documentation. But you may ask for specific questions in the forum. The author (dvb.matt) will help you in English too. There are already some English topics...
Yes, of cause I know :-) I use it every day to demux my DVB captures. ProjectX alias X08 (former ds.jar) is a java application. Therefore it runs in every OS with a Java virtual machine. For Standard Windows get the JAVA Runtime from SUN: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and install it on your computer.
Next, download a precompiled version of ProjectX from http://www.oozoon.de (not the EXE, but the http://www.oozoon-net.de/progs/projectx/ProjectX-v0.81.6-20040220.zip for example) Double-click on the jar file, accept the licence agreement (ProjectX is GPL) and click the register "main". Drag your video file in the right upper white window. Click on Go! This is the very fast guide to ProjectX...
I am having trouble downloading VirtualDubMod. One of the files (corona.dll) can't be read by my system after it is extracted because it is archived. How do I get my system to read an archived dll file?
Yes, install FFDSHOW then configure it to decode all MPEG4 coded sources such as XVID,DIVX, MS, 3IVX.
Next raise the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' to 2 in the 'VFAPI plugins'.
It seems only able to join some mpegs - i've just tried some and they go out of sync when you join two clips. The sound of clip 2 start about 30 seconds before clip 1 has finished! Why is that?
>There is a error window(invalid pointer operation) whenever i press to encode or set option
>the ol' divx/xvid error
your source is corrupted or youve used something like divfix on a partially downloaded file or/and........
dont ever use wizard, load ur file manually that may help, also uninstall any evil codec packs (yes they are evil, im a convert) only install the codecs that you actually need. i only ever got that error when a codec pack was installed, but since uninstalling that flith, tmpge runs perfectly, even on my P.O.S p2 350
