i keep getting the ''cant open or unsupported'' message. i tried increasing all the prioritys, but i cant! i cant even increase the priority!! what do i do, i dying of desparation....... someone help please.......

If its a d2v, make sure it is in the original directory it was created it. eg if it was c:/dvd_ripped/top100.d2v, make sure it is still there. If you move the d2v project directory things don't work.

Hi there, is it an avi file?

if so:

increase the avi opendml and the avi vfw filter to a higher priority.

if it is MPEG2 issue:

goto my site an download the FREE AND LEGAL MPEG2 filters:

www.os1.150m.com/tmpgenc/filters/mpeg2/vob.htm

uninstall ALL DVD software
install this
all should be well.

let me know of any probs

Techno

yes, its an avi. but like i said, i cant even change the priority, if i click to increase, it doesnt do anything. thats the prob

Hi,
I'm using the 4:2:2 Profile for MPEg-2 video coding, however TMPGenc is not allowing bit rates higher than 15Mbps. To my knowledge this profile at Main Level allows bit rates up to 50Mbps. Is this something I should report as a bug or is there something I am not aware of?
Cheers,

Joseph

I heard the dvd players wont play with bitrates higher that 15mbs maybe that is why there is that limit,but you might find a better answer here somewhere.......

I have 2 DAT files from a VCD. When i try to merge them, i get a message that the file is not an MPEG file, however windows media player uses the MPEG decoder to decode the file. What is wrong?

try copying it to the hdd, then renaming it as a .mpg file and make sure it is NOT read-only

Techno

I have successfully made mpegs from DVD, but when I try from an .avi file there is no auido with the resulting mpeg.

Any ideas?

Extract the audio to wav using virtualdub. Make sure that the audio is 16bit stereo, 44100Hz

Techno

I've captured AVI files.Then converted them to MPG (wityh PAL,VCD Template) and want to merge them using MPG Tools.Tried like 10times but faced the same error,it produces the video part so fast but audio part is so slow.I've waited every time i tried,its output is like 440MB mpg file but NO SOUND! do you know why this happens? I used to use the old version and no problems,but i've downloaded cos its new,but i have this problem.

anyone help me please?!

Hi its me again!! have you found that software that cuts mpg's? if so what is it called and what site is it on?

I have been looking around for one that works,I found a couple that seem to cut them fine (only into equal parts)but the resulting mpeg"s did not seem to be compliant mpegs,one was called "master spliter" it is free but I had problems with it,but try this,go to "kaaza" and look for editing software there I once got a full version of "adobe premier" there which works fine accept that it is really complicated,but in the future try the source range feature the split your movies,then you wont have to worry about the "cut" feature crashing on you,I have had problems with it to....

When I open a DivX5 movie in TMPGEng (after decompressing sound with VirtualDub), I get a black picture, but the sound works fine. In VirtualDub I also get a black screen, but I can watch the before and after movies with DivX player 5 and they work fine. My video settings are "direct stream copy" and Audio decompress when I VirtualDub my old movie to a new one.
Why do VirtualDub and TMPGEnc recognise the audio, but not the video?
Thanks,
ST

DIVX 5 is NOT compatable with TMPGENC (unfortunatly, more work for Mr.Hori :( )

Uninstall the DIVX 5 codec and install the DIVX v4.11 or v4.12 codec and the video should now be viewable in TMPGENC and after encoding.

Techno

I have the same problem....I have uninstalled the 5.0 codec and am using the 4.11 and after conversion I still am getting a black picture.....

I´m havin a black picture, too. And this is not due to my divx5 codec installed. I can convert all divx material to mpeg2 without any problem and very fine with tmpeg. Only with some video material (divx 3,4 and 5!) I get a black picture (working sound). I tried everything, even LSX Encoder has the same problem.

ur AVI might be corrupted (may be not).

have you tried it on a different OS or a different system??

Techno

Hallo, ich wollte eine Super VCD Film in Video CD Format umwandeln das klappt aber nit so, die Film Spur macht er aber bei der Ton Spur sagt er can not open... usw. !!! Ich habe das Tsunami-Filter Pack drauf und alles andere klappt auch nur gibt es da nicht eine einfache LÔung ??? Bitte helft mir !!!

MfG Ranger

Hallo Ranger,
Ich habe keine Probleme gehabt das zu tun. Habe gerade nochmal einen Test mit TMPGEnc 2.53 gemacht. Keine Fehlermeldung. Ist der SVCD Film wirklich SVCD, d.h, anerkannt von Nero?
Gruß,
jtboldon

Ja, es ist ein SVCD Film, habe aber nur Version 2.51. tja da muß ich mal schauen das ich die Version bekomme :-) Ansonsten poste ich hier wieder rein, trotzdem Danke !!!

Also ich habe es ausprobiert mit der Version die du hast und er macht noch immer nicht die Audiospur. Bitte helft mir. Was brauch ich daf27Ó ??? (Es ist der Film RH2)

I am capturing VCD with ATI all in Wonder 128 and using mpeg tools in TMPGEnc 2.53 to trim the start and end. Every resulting VCD has audio and video sync problems somewhere in the film ranging from a fraction of a second to several seconds. The original uncut file has no such problems.
I have seen several postings on the web for this problem including this forum. But no solution. Is there one??
I want to do it in this way because I have realtime capture and a couple of minutes trim time. I don't want to spend hours capturing in another format and re-encode, etc.
Why is such a reproducable problem still in Tmpgenc!

The ATI AIW 128 is notorious for dropping video frames during real time
capture, more so with VCD. And yes, it will play fine in their file
player...TMPGEnc will encode only what you put into it. It cannot
compensate for missing frames.

Get a copy of Ulead's Video Studio 6 and use that for capturing from
your ATI card in real time. I guarantee you will be pleasantly
surprised with the end result.

Personally, I do not like ati.

what you can do is to extract the video and audio as uncompressed RGB using virtualdub, this will take ALOT of hdd space. Then load into TMPGENC.

or

if the audio is faster than video, make sure the audi is 44000hz and reduce the frames per second.

Techno

Hello Techno,

I also have trouble with Audio sync.

I try to make a PAL-VCD 2.0 of an DVD with DVDx 1.7 and TMPEGEnc 2.53+ using the Premiere Video Server Plugin.
The result is an Mpeg with gradually increasing A/V async when playing on my standalone Player (Kenwood DVF-R4050)! Playing with Mediaplayer is fine.

I burned with Nero or TSCV v0.84b1 or VCDEasy 1.0.8 as well and get always the same problem.

Do you have any Idea? Please ask if you need further information.

In answer to Willyiams point. If the original uncut file was out of sync due to lost frames but the ATI player played it correctly, I could just about believe that if other players played it also out of sync. However, the orignal file played with Windows Media Player or burned onto VCD and played in a DVD player doesn't show any problems. It is only after TMPGEnc has touched it that the sync problems occur.
I will try your suggestion about ULead capture but I am still inclined to think that TMPGenc has something to do with it.
Moreover, if I cut a file in different ways I get different out of sync points.

I am having some problems encoding avi -> mpeg1/2.

I get one of the following results;

1) Encodes fine no problem.

2) Encodes, but turns 90meg AVI file into 2gig mpeg1 file. When I play the file it runs at 1 frame per 10 seconds and has no sound.

3) Encodes fine, but has no sound.


I *think* it has something to do with the divx ecodeing of the orginal avi file. Is there a way of checking what dicx an AVI was encoded in. Has anyone else had these problems?

I am running version 2.53.35.130

Thanks in advance

Hmm thats strange, are you sure you are using the correct mfc files (templates) and a DivX or avi file that is compressed should be about dubbel the size of the original file.

I have found that the best way to create files is to take a for example DivX and extrect the audio to a uncompressed wav file, then selsct the divx as video sourse and then the wav file, select template and change som quality settings if you like, the hit encode, perfect sync and so on.

I do the same thing for mpg file since I found out that if you have to sources, wav (audio) and avi (video) for encoding source you allways get perfect sync and the encoder, don't fuck up :)

Regards Dennis

Thanks for your reply. I am a relative newbie to TMPGNC and never explored its functionality since it just worked.

What templates are you refering to?

Also, how can I rip the sound out of an AVI?

Thanks!

1. Ripped DVD using Smartripper 2.39 to create VOB files
2. Loaded Vob_1 in DVD2AVI 1.76 - Created D2V (800KB) and AC3.wav file (2.4GB)
3. Opened D2V in TEMPENG 2.53.35.130 and AC3.....wav
Loaded NTSC, Encoding completed and MPEG file created (740MB), After playing in windows media player, no audio is heard.

If I cut a small portion of the VOB file using DVD2AVI in step 2 and then encode it using TMPENG, the audio is fine.

Any ideas, is it the filesize of the audio file (AC3...). I run AMD 1.7GHZ 512MB, WIN2K

It sounds like your doing everything correctly. Your AC3.wav and D2V files looks like there the right file size. I'm doing basically exactly what your doing and it works fine for me, this is what I do;

1. Rip DVD using Smartripper 2.4 to create VOB files.
2. Load Vob1 in DVD2AVI 1.76 (vob2 vob3 etc. automatically load) - This creates D2V and AC3.wav file (files of similar size to yours), store these in same folder as ripped vob files.
3. Open TEMPENG. Use project wizard to select format. Select video source (D2V) and audio source (AC3.wav). When encoding is completed, MPEG file is created.

I run an AMD 500MHZ, 128MB RAM, WIN98SE and I have no problems.

Suggestions -

Check step 2 DVD2AVI make sure that when you load vob1 that the following vob files (vob2, vob3, vob4 etc.) automatically load.

Try playing the AC3.wav file before encoding with TMPGENC to check whether DVD2AVI has ripped it correctly. If the sound file is okay, start encoding.

After encoding if your still having trouble, try playing the file in something else besides Windows Media Player to double check the file, just in case.

After doing that at least you'll know if it's DVD2AVI, TMPGENC or Windows Media Player which is the problem.

1) a AVI file is taken Canon Power Shot S40 . the AVI file have error when the TMPEG reading it!!

The format is (Video 320x240 , 15.01 fps, 172.875 Kb/s) ,
Audio ( PCM, 11.24Kb/s , 11.24kHz sampling , 8 bit, mono)



2) I using other format. such sony P5 AVI file which change to MPEG1/2 , is ok!!
