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.

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.

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

I'm trying to make an SVCD and I get the error message that my MPEG2 tril period is up. What's the deal? And what is the solution?

Please help.

Go to article No.18222

and also read : article No.18977

How and where do you go to use the info "Go to article No.18222 and also read : article No.18977" that you supplied?

The is no video when i start the proccess of converting AVI to MPG, I need to do this for some family videos and so on. Thank you to anyone who can help, i need these for VCD thats why i need them in mpg cause thats what my burning software wants. THank you

Hmm sounds like important thing.

I suggest you have a look at the guides on howto convert.

http://www.vcdhelp.com or http://doom9.net

If you are converting famliy vidios I guess you really want it to be done the right way :)

if it is a DIVX v5 file, it is not compatable

uninstall DIVX v5

install DIVX v4.11 or v4.12

load in the avi and encode

this will work

Techno

I just noticed that under "Settings" "Video" tab that "DC Componet precision" says higher the smoother video. anybody have an opinion on this setting? 8 bit...10 bit....slower, better?

Hmm

I don't think it matters much, I allways stick to the standard templates, have worked fine for me, with excellent quality of the encoded videos etc. I don't care too much for the setting just the ones you can change when you load up a template.

:)

sometimes it makes it a bit more smoother when played on the PC or the DVD player.

Techno

The setting relates to the type of movie you are trying to encode. If you are encoding a movie with a lot of calm scenes then a higher precision would be appropiate. The opposite goes for action movies with a lot of movement, the lower setting is more appropiate.
You wouldn't normally need to worry about this because it's effect isn't a great deal.

ASHY

Has someone posted a set of guides for TMPGEnc that show which setting one could/should tweak to balance between file size and quality?

My specific issue has to do with converting an AVI to VCD. The resulting file is a tad too large for a CD (~851MB). I am looking for the setting that would knock back the file size with minimal impact on the quality. Surely I can't be the first to ask this question.

Try demultiplexing the file and re-encoding the audio at a lower bitrate and then re-multiplex it.

ASHY

Here is a good guide regarding that matter from www.vcdhelp.com. Dont miss the forum discussion that follows. The arctile depends that your player can cope with non standard VCDs. Esp. VBR.

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

Btw. You can fit 900 MB on an 90 mins media in (S)VCD format but not any CD-Rom/Player can cope with that. At least most Yamakawa, Scott and Cyberhome players can.

Btw. Something weird is hapening with posting threads, its not the first time I see an multiple post or and moved posting(not only from me :)

M.Bastian,

Thanks for the link. I'll give it a try.

When i decode an avi to mpeg format, and when i play the movie, the sound goes out of sync. I have WINDOWS XP and i dont know what to do please help....FAST!

when converting an AVI to mpeg-2 I am not getting any sound. Anyone know why?
Thanks

Ahhhh the standard out of sync problem.

I know something that will fix it for sure.

Just extract the audio from the divx (uncompress it if it is a mp3 file or something) the just do the same thing. Load up the video file, and then on the audio tab, look up the wav file and select it (the one you extracted) the just encode as you would. Tada, perfect sync.

This problem might be a bug in Tmpgenc or something I don't know but I allways do it this way since I fear sync problems and my computer is verry slow.

For audio extraction use msgraph or maby virtual dub, your choise

Help on that can be found here

http://www.vcdhelp.com
http://doom9.net

Those are sites I use, good guides and have links to other guides :)

Denis, u r correct, may I add a little extra please?

load in the avi in virtualdub

goto audio > full processing mode
goto audio > compression > no compression PCM

then goto file > save wav

then load the avi and the wav in TMPGENC and encode!

make sure the audio is 44100Hz in TMPGENC

Have tried several divx movies of good quallity, but they all give the same result to my my svcd, the picture is sharp and the sound is exellent, but the video streaming is not so good. I use the supervideo template and have tried several adjustment, but nothing seems to help.
Any sugestions?

And another thing what excectly does multiplexing and de-multiplexing, and when do we use it??

Hmm. What is your problem ?

I have been doing the same thing, converting DivX to SVCD (my divx are in 640*360 with AC3 sound) so I had to extract the audio to a uncompressed wav file first.

I would suggest you use 2-pass VBR and set the minimum value to 300 and the avegage bit rate to between 1900-2300. Other than that, if you use a template you should be fine. My encodings are good and works fine.

A note though is that if you can, get a DivX with as high quality as possible and if you are converting movies, get hold of the ones that are released on 2 cd's.

I figured it out myself, the source was 23 fps and I have Pal system with 25 fps, so i tried to enable 3:2 Pulldown in the advance tab and my movie works perfect.

Thanks anyway.

hello,
my first period for testing tmpg is over. so i downloaded the most recent version and copied the fiels over the old files. it still says this message that the testing period is over!
what do i do wrong?
thank you

purchase TMPGENC! Click on the banner at the bottom of the screen

Techno

i thought it is freeware?

Here goes my vov to not contribute to a thread Techno has answered....

Ok, heres the deal. TMPGEnc which is downloadable on this webpage is technicaly free. But not the MPEG2 codec. To circumvent the MPEG2 license fee the programm will disable MPEG2 encoding an month after installation. This is essential for TMPGenc being free!

TMPGenc Plus on the other side(which is downloadable at www.pegasys-inc.com) is tryware. After 2 weeks of use it will no longer start without an license key.
One of the main differences between TMPGenc Plus and TMPGenc is the 2 Pass VBR encoding. If you want to make Standalone Player compilant VCD streams only you can go with the free version. If you want to make high quality SVCDs and DVDs buy the Plus Version.
