Hi!

I have tried to convert an avi file to DivX with quite poor quality. It seems to be better to convert the avi-file to MPEG2 first, and then convert this to DivX. Can anyone confirm this? And if it is better, why? Which tools are best to use when convert to DivX (FLASKMpeg)?

If i compare the quality/size from TMPGEnc¡­s AVI->MPEG1 with the AVI->DivX 3.** i don¡­t see any better quality in the DivX (standard VCD 2.0, and then convert to DivX same size). Is all talk about the superior DivX quality just nonsens????

Thanks
Fred

I use "virtua dub" to convert to divx, the quality seems good on my system,....

I don't know much about DivX, but I do know FLASKMpeg is not as fast nor does it generally produce the same high quality as TMPGENC.

DIVX 3.11alpha is better, low file size and best quality.

use vidomi

yes, MPEG2 to DIVX is great cause it makes the file much "stabler"

got this error while using wizard dvd pro to create dvd with your program.............an address 73f91d04,read error occurred against address 73f91d04......please advise how this can be fixed or do i have to adjust a setting and attempt the process to split files?

When converting DVD to VCD, how do I get the English subtitles to be displayed?

why do the converted videos don't have any video only audio?

see the other posting :)

Techno

a little more info could be handy?

What type of file is your source file, did you select a video source and a audio source or just a audio source?

my source file is .avi


audio: mpeg layer 3, 3.56 kbit/s, 24,000 Hz, stereo
video: 352x240, 17175 frames, 14,999 frames/sec, 58 kb/seec, unknown formaat

my source file is .avi


audio: mpeg layer 3, 3.56 kbit/s, 24,000 Hz, stereo
video: 352x240, 17175 frames, 14,999 frames/sec, 58 kb/seec, unknown formaat

It might help if the audio and video files are of approximately the same length.

I often encode MP3 audio with MPG video (PAL VCD) and have no problem.

Perhaps try converting the video first and then try adding the audio to the converted video file.

Do what I said, it will work. :)

why do the converted videos don't have any video only audio?

if it is DIVX v5 then TMPGENC is NOT compatible with it.

uninstall DIVX v5 codec, install DIVX v4.11 or v4.12 then it should work, otherwise it will not work thus TMPGENC is not compatible with DIVX v5

Techno

I keep seeing exeryone posting that Tmpgenc does not work with Divx5...I have converted several movies in Divx5 pro format with Tmpgenc to SVCD with no errors and the movies play back fine?

So what is the incompatibility suppose to be about?

Thanks,
Mike H.

uninstall DIVX 5, install DIVX v4.11 or v4.12 and then encode, there should be video and audio together.

Hi when i try to convert a DVIX.avi rip, it says AN ERROR OCCURED WHEN AUDIO WAS DECODED. I can play the .avi file just fine in windows media player, And i am able to convert other avi files, but this one gives me that error, any ideas what i might do/check?

thanks! - email me at andre266@yahoo.com thx.

sav the audio as wav in virtualdub then load this and the avi in TMPGENC and encode @ 44100Hz 224 bitrate

Techno

Need help, need to convert mov file to mpg, the program report this error
"illegal floating decimal point calculation order" .
Thanks.

tick/untick ALL the boxes in the quantize matrix settings and increase the directshow filter to a higher priority in the environment settings

Techno

I am a new user and keep getting the same error message. It always comes when the file is 90% complete or better. I have upped the Direct Show filter all the way to 3 now, and have made many changes to the Quantize Matrix, to no avail. Is there anything else I might try? I've been at it since early this morning with no luck.

un-check the boxes on the "cpu" tab eg:mmx,mmx2&sse and the quantize matrix boxes.....

I get this msg when I load a video source and then select the "Settings" button. I am running windows 98. Am I missing a Windows file or do I need to change any configuration.

The Wizard does not come up. Only the first page. There are no templates displayed. What is wrong?

What version are you using?

Download Version 2.53.35.130 this includes the project wizard and templates.

That's the version I have. The first Wizard screen comes up, but everything else is greyed. The template tree is totally blank. I can manually load in templates, but not via the Wizard. I'm running Win2K and the software is on H: patition (I tried C: but had same problem). I noticed there waw no install program. I simply unzipped the contents into a directory and ran the application.

It shouldn't matter what drive or partition your using. Yes you just unzip and run directly from folder.

I think it helps if TMPGENC is located on the same drive or partition that your source files are on, but this isn't the problem.

Try downloading a fresh copy, I use win98SE.

I'll try. But this is the latest and "freshest" copy. I'm wondering if there are some environment variables I need to set. For example, there is a configeration settings file. Is this read by TMPGEnc or by the OS? Also, all my template files have ".mcf" extension, but doesn't the program search for ".tpr"?

all the templates have .mcf ,I dont use the wizard cuz the wizard seem to lock in most of the settings and to get a better quality I need to adjust the bitrate and other locked settings.....does any one know how to get rid of the wizard?cuz I hate haveing to turn it off every time I start the program.......

Simply untick the box at bottom left of the Wizard screen to disable it.

How can I create batch files?

Follow the wizard! TMPGENC v2.5+

Techno

what you do is load in your avi/d2v file choose your template and settings then save it,you will have a batch file now,repeat this step as many times as you need then go to "batch encode" and load these files in,then you are ready to go...

I've downloaded TMPENC.exe but an error comes up when I try to convert..
"P3packag.dll cannot be loaded"

Try downloading again!!!

i think u have to use winzip assitant and follow the indications in order to be able to decompress and install TMPGEnc correctly. i give u this advice because i was in the same situaton at first and i did exactly like i tell u.

I am having the same problem, what do you mean by the winzip assistant. anyone have any other thoughts on how to fix this problem?
