Hi,

Im trying to get the Wizard to work on version 2.53 but all i get whem i start the wizard up is a blank box, with it asking me to select a format

how can i select a format from a list that dosnt exist ????

PLEASE HELP

Druss

I too am having this same problem.

After following some earlier advice to read
<http://www.vcdhelp.com/convert.htm>

I followed the instructions exactly, but still haven't been able to get more than a blank screen in the Wizard. Am using version 2.53, unregistered.

ok, figured out the Wizard problem...

It seems that the files have to be in their respective folders for TMPGEnc to open them in the Wizard.

Follow this link : http://forum.vcdhelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=84759

and note the locations of the files and the folders they are located in, and then make the proper changes. I don't know if version 2.5 fixes this, but the copy I downloaded was in .zip format, and had no folder extensions.

hope this helps!

Some unzip software ignores file/folder structure of ZIP file,
so, in your case, when your software unzipped the file, it broke
file/folder structure, then TMPGEnc cound not refer to the necessary files.

This is not bug of TMPGEnc obviously.

Hi, I have been using TMPGEnc for a bit now and for the first time I have encountered an AVI clip that when I go to convert, will not show any video. The screen is completely black and when I go to preview, I still get no video. But the AVI clip will play under Windows Media Player so I know that there is video.

In a similar post, someone mentioned uninstalling Divx5 and installing Divx 4.11 or 4.12. I did just that (4.12) and still got the same problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I've had this before - what happened with me is that the avi I was attempting to convert had been encoded in an old codec (mp43) - download and install angelpotion codecs or other suitable mp43 codecs (take your pick) - this worked for me. This may be what's wrong with yours.

hmmm....

try to uninstall the angel potion codec as it is known to cause problems

Also, increase the directshow, avi vfw and the avi opendml filters to a higher priority in the environment settings.

How do you uninstall that particular codec?

you goto control panel and add/remove programs or use the uninstaller with the codec (sometimes in it's own program group on the start menu)

TMPG will no longer load on my computer, I keep getting this message now "Runtime error 216 at 00002F3C". Can Anyone tell me how to fix this problem? I tried reinstalled it but had the same problem come up.

Try downloading it again or download a newer version.

my media file is already in mpeg format and has extension .mpg
how can i use this program to burn it onto a cdr with my cdr drvie?

well, depends:

is it a VCD?

if so u can use nero to burn it or adaptec but nero is recommended

if it is not a VCD but want to burn it, just burn it as data CD

Techno

Has anyone found a way to limit the max/min bitrate per frame (not just per second) in CBR mode? Or to control it in some way.
Thanks,
Ric

not in CBR, but in Auto_CQ or CQ

if u use the auto_CQ or the CQ, make sure u have the enable padding box enabled.

Techno

no wait, didn't understand that question properly, I do not think there is a way

Hi,
I use TMPG Enc 2.53.

I tried to convert 960*540 bmp to mpeg2 format file.
But I got a error message
"The resolution of the video is illegal.
> The windows size needs to be set between 8*8 and 4088*4088.
> The width and height of window needs to be multiple of 8."

Is it impossible to convert 960*540 bmp to mpeg2 format file using TMPG Enc?

if so, is there any way to do this?

Please understand I'm not good at English. ^^

you must resize the video:

480*480 / 640*480 etc...

Techno

I need you to solved my problem here. I want to encode to SVCD format. I had a mpeg1 encoder using PV233 chip and Zoltrix capture card. Which one is prefer for good quality recording wheather using avi without compression or mpeg1 (CBR 6144 Mbps)? When I encode a video signal using Zoltrix at higher rate (480 x 480) it showed jerking picture and why the avi file processed at 15 frame per second?

Hmm.

You should check www.vcdhelp.com on the capture thing. What I know is that AVI capturing takes up a lot of space, if you are really into this maby you should check out the WinTV PVR or the RealMagic DV card. They are great since AVI capturing is hard and difficult getting it good as well but it's cheap.

/Regards Dennis

actually, go for the hauppauge wintv go pci and use these high settings:

NO RECOMPRESSION
YU12
320*240
25/30fps
CD quality audio

This will give you high quality but will take up alot of hdd space, but it is worth it.

then convert to VCD/SVCD in TMPGENC and will be done quick.

download this progamm and trying to convert .avi to .mpg
and coming error that cannot load >>>>>>P3Package.dll<<<<<<<<<!!

At the top of this BBS, type "P3Package.dll" into a box which is right next to "Search" button, then press "Search", then you will find answer.

When i convert avi to mpg... i will convert it. and then play it in windows media player.. and the color will be fine one minute and then do pinkish the next..a nd it will go on and on, etc.... I think it has a major bug or something...does anyone know the problem.. thanks

try to decrease the directshow priority in the environment settings

Techno

Remove the Angel potion codec from your system and install Divx 4.12.

ASHY

What is the best way to remove the program from my computer?

Well uninstall it I guess.

The thing is with windows uninstall that it dosn't remove all files and the worst thing, registry entirys to some degree are left behind.

Help

All of the sudden I'm getting 2 error messages that I've never seen before. Right when I try to launch TMPGEnc. I've never had this problem before.

First one says "Read error against address 0229DB4A" and the second "Run Time Error 216 at 0003D850

I was running version 2.52.xx. I deleted it and tried again. I defragged the hard drives and ran check disk. Rebooted and got the same errors. I downloaded version 2.53 and got the same error's.

These are coming before I can even run the program. I don't know but in Premiere 6 I encoded a movie to MS DV AVI instead of just the regular MS AVI. I's stumped. Can anyone offer some help?

Please do not encode, but use the Avisynth Premiere Plugin. Look at www.vcdhelp.com

Good luck

Did you ever get this figured out. I have the exact same problem.

Thanks
