I am about to buy Tmpgenc. At the time of writing the current version is 2.53.
Will I get an automatic (and free) update when 2.54 and any subsequent versions are released?
I got some PAL DIVX and wanted to convert them to MPEG. I checked the DIVX settings and configured TMPGEnc accordingly (load PAL VCD).
While converting them to MPEG no video was shown. After converting (being a MPG now), the file was just about 25% bigger in size and there also was no vidoe just audio.
This question has been answered a thousand times already on this board.
All you have to do is look through the previous posts for your answer.
You wont have to look far.
If you really can't be arsed to look then try this. Uninstall all DIVX codecs and reinstall DIVX 3.11 then DIVX 5.0. both must be installed. If that doesn't cure it click your VFAPI PLUG-IN tab under Enviromental settings and make the DIRECTSHOW MUTIMEDIA FILE READER the highest priority, usually 2.
Hello.
I use TMPGen 2.53 under WINDOWS 2000 and very often after several sec. or min. of working it ends up in one of these ways:
1. It simply disappears wihtout any message,
or,
2. It gives message: "At address 0219db4a, read error ocured against address 0219db4a",
or,
3. There are two messages: "Windows 2000 returned error code=27. The parameter is incorrect" and "Dr. Watson was anable to attach to the process. It is possible that process exited before dr. Watson could attach it".
Any suggestion?
Best regards.

Check your system for stability. Don't overclock to hard. Don't push your memory to the limit. And do not run memory and processor(s) at different bus speeds.
After a lot of testing I found out, that the Cut-Function of the MPEG-Tools seems to have a bug: It removes the second Audiotrack of my MPG-File.
When I open the source-file with De-Multiplex, I get a video-stream and two audio-streams. Then I cut this source. Opening the destination-file with De-Multiplex shows a video-stream and only one audio-stream. The filesize indicates a missing audio-stream as well.
Trying to Merge/Cut SVCD in TMPGEnc(v2.53) hangs the box when trying to enter end time. Does anyone know of any solutions? Does TMPGEnc Plus fix the problem?
I don't think, your System really hangs. After the Count-Up of the filesize, it takes a very long time until the file is written completely - the drive is accessed all the time.
I noticed that it takes a lot longer, when you don't keep the Window selected or have a screensaver activated.
On my system it takes about 10 minutes without any display-change until the file is written, when I cut about 800MB from a file.
I have recently run into a problem I have never seen before. For some reason a recent avi file I downloaded when trying to encode it to mpg the result is upside down????? I cannot for the life of me figure out why?? Anyone have a clue as to why it would encode the avi upside down when converting to mpg??
yeah using xp.. I think I may have found a way to fix it though.. did a preview and it looks like its working now. What I had to do was install the Xvid Codacs and OggDS filters. Will update tommorrow when encode is done.
I'm using the latest version of tmpgenc (2.53, also tried 2.51), and I'm having problems with the mpg2s that I create. Using bitrateviewer, I'm seeing spikes at the end of my mpg on about 40% of my encoded files. I'm using the wizard's template for 8000 CBR, NTSC. Screenshot here: http://home.austin.rr.com/coady/bitrate.gif
the only way I can get good encodes is to trim the spike off the mpg (cut the last second or so). But this makes encoding a large number of AVIs a lot of work...
Thanks for any help!!!!

Maybe the spike isn't the fault of TMPG. Have you checked your original AVI's to see if the spike exists there. Maybe there is a fault with your AVI encoding process.
Using TMPGenc 2.5, on the SettingQuantize Matrix tabbed dialog, there is a selection named "Use floating point DCT" - at least that's what it says on my desktop. However, on my laptop it says "Use floating point DCT (while using SSE, always ON) and the check box has a partially grayed-out tick in it.
The answer is due to the use of the mutimedia enhancements you are using on your PC.
If you are using an MMX enabled PC with SSE instructions sets then this is why you will get the "Use floating point DCT (while using SSE, always ON)" with a greyed out ticked box.
The reason why it is greyed out with a tick is because you currently have SSE enabled within TMPG and will be enabled by default when using SSE, if you goto Option>Enviromental settings and click the CPU tab you will see that SSE is ticked.
On your desktop where you see the "Use floating point DCT" only then you should find SSE isn't ticked or isn't selectable.
It is advisable to ensure that any MMX and SSE enhancements are ticked as this will improve encoding speed.
this is usualy a easy one to fix,first go to "options" then "enviromental settings" then to "vfapi plugins" in this window lower the"avi.compatability reader"and the "avi.file reader" to "zero" and raise the "direct show " to "two",the load your avi. files in tmpgenc this trick works allmost always, good luck.....
ok maybe some oen can tell me what i am doing wrok. i'm using the 2.53 version and load teh template for VCD but the output file has a lot of purple bloches. what do i need to get the purple blotches to go away and get a better out put. i've check the orignal file and it has no blotching, so what am i doing wrong?
this problem is sometimes caused by the "angel potion codec" if you have it get rid of it and try a different codec like maybe "nimo codec"..if this doesnt work you can try to clean it up in the color settings,but try the first one ...
found the nimo codec and uninstall the angel potion and installed nimo but still the same problem. lot of purple blotches.
but thanks for the sugestions!
well i took your advice you gave to someone else and it worked for me! by making changes to the evirmeal setting it claered teh problemb by moving directshow up in piority! thnks!
the p3p package optimizes tmpgenc for pentium 3,for some reason you are haveing problems with it,one thing you can try is to un-check all the boxes on the "cpu" page under "enviromental settings"(eg;mmx,mmx2,ect),then load the files in tmpgenc,if this doesn"t work try re-installing tmpgenc in yer system...hope this helps?....
1. You have not downloaded files correctly
or
2. You have not unziped files correctly
or
3. Your WinZIP or other Unzip program is too old to unzip.
or
4. All /some of above
