HellO!

I have problems opening Divx avi movies in Tmpeg. I always get the error "unable to open or unsupported". I tried the trick with increasing the priority and all that stuff but nothihng seems to help. really desperate here.

increase the opendml and the driectshow and the open vfw filters to a higher priority in the environment settings.

Techno

what is all that opendml,direct show, and openvfw filters?. please help

Go into the environment settings (options > environment settings, then vfapi plugin)

I noticed when I used TMPG Enc latest version that it copied it just fine. I had a movie that was about a little over 2 hours long so I went to tools and cut the movie in half so it would fit on 2 cd's. There is a very little slight delay in the speech and the lips when they are talking. Hardly noticeable but annoying too. I still have the original mpeg on my hard drive and there is no problems with it. Both sound and lips are in sync. Anyone know why?

What software r u burning svd's or vcd's? Try decreasing the frame rate.

Techno

I'm using Nero's latest version.

What speed are you burning at? With Nero burning vcd's or svcd's it helps out alot if you drop the burn speed, personally i use 4x when burning anything that i want to keep and use alot.

I burned them at 4X. Maybe I'll just try burning them again and see what happens.

I can't seem to get the template page when pressing the load button on the it just takes me to the temp folder.I can't find the template window anywhere.

any suggestions

Are you taking the Michael or what? Its in your TMPGenc folder not your Temp folder. Obvious I would have thought.

Well I wanted to store my large DV AVI files as MPEG2s and use TMPGEnc to do it.....but I found that TMPGEnc brightens the video oh so slightly on each encoding. Techno guy confirms this also. So that means if, in the future, I want to edit different versions of a file stored...then it would pass through
TMPGEnc twice and be brighten twice. UUUgggh! Need to use another MPEG2 encoder that doesn't brighten each time you encode!!! Any suggestions?? Steve

Just use the custom/basic colour crrection filter in teh advacned settings to brighten it down.

Techno

well I just burned my first svcd,but when I play it in my player it shakes side to side really badly,it is like an earth quake,does any one know why this is ,and how to fix it,I did get an error when multi-plexing "buffer underflow in 2234 packets" could this be what is wrong? thanx

Did you use the correct framerate???

I had a similar problem, with a few vob files. I downloaded the latest version of TMPGENC and rebooted my computer, worked fine after that.

It must be the buffer underflow error,I only get this error when I use the vfapi converter to make fake avi."s..........

I encoded a movie in .mpg from DivX .avi. It took 4 hours. Then I have a bad sound and no image... I selected size 352x240, aspect ration 4:3, frame rate 29,97. What's going on ??? Thanks someone.

I made my first movie dvd using this guide. Follow the directions to the tee and see the result.

http://www.dvdripguides.com/dvdrip1a.html

Latest TMPGEnc 2.53 corrupts all my MJPEG files - only the top line is displayed, the rest of the image is a grid of dots. Both in preview and conversion.

I've tried all the environment settings I can think of. Different source resolutions etc.. still no differences.

v2.01 used to work fine! I'm using an Athlon 1.2Ghz, Win98, 256Mb, Matrox Marvel G200 capture card. Matrox codec is used.

Can anyone help please??

hi,I have never done a svcd before but I did one last night,but I can"t get nero to burn it ,when I drag the file over to the window in nero ,nero says it isn"t compliant ,it says I need mpeg 1 for vcd ,and when I select svcd and click on open and choose my svcd compilation the screen goes to the begining of nero(without the wizard) and then I drag my compilation over,and it says I need mpeg1 for vcd,but I dont want vcd,can some one please help cuz I"m new to svcd"s....thanx

I figered it out,and yes I"m a dummy......

The easiest way to do a SVCD (at least I think that) is to use two different software. First; create a "cue" file with VCDeasy 1.0.9 (www.vcdhelp.com) with the SVCD compliant. Second; Start Nero and close wizard and on the file menu access the "burn image.." option, select the cue file (usually called VIDEOCD.CUE) and burn it.

Also, on WWW.VCDHELP.COM, there are a lot of different softwares.

I got about 73% through converting and i got an error that started with the word index...(but i cant remember the rest... I know that the error number was 272... If u know why this would have occurred, what can i do to avoid this next time?

There is no sound ?????

that is not much help to us.

What are you trying to encode? what system do u have? what settings have u used?

If it is a DIVX file, then extract the audio as wav, use virtualdub or nandub to do this.

Techno

Your right I can't hear anything either. Maybe we're going deaf.
Sheese! this BBS gets worse Techno.

I would find it useful if TMPG Enc had the ability to rotate the encoded video. For example, I held my camera on it's side when recording my video. However, I obviously don't want to have to tilt my head to watch the video, I'd rather rotate the video so it's in the correct orientation.

This feature should include the ability to rotate 90deg/180deg clockwise and counter clockwise.

Thank you.

I downloaded the trial version of TMPGEnc and trying to convert several files from AVI to MPEG-1. I consistently get "Can not read video." error on two of these files (encoded with DIVXMPG4 V3 codec, at 25 frames/sec, 83kbps in PAL (352x288) standard) and the conversion stops. The AVI files play without problem with Media Player. Any ideas why I would be getting the error and how can I prevent it? Thanks in advance!

The frames may be corrupted.

Use virtualdub v1.4.9 to scan for errors in the avi file.

Techno

I tried VirtualDub, and it crashes while checking the file for errors (possibly in the same place as RMPGEnc). Unfortunately, since DIVX4 is not officially supported by VirtualDub, I cannot ask the author for help. Any other ideas, or tools that I could use to find what the problem is? Thanks for a prompt reply!

nope, if VD crashes then VD is telling the truth, the file you have is corrupted! trust me. I am 90% sure because DIVX 4 is fully supported by VD, otherwise how in the world, was DIVX 4 "successful"? People use VD to convert to DIVX any version 95% of the time!

Techno

I think you're right, some frames are probably corrupted. Do you know if there's a tool that will allow me to get rid of corrupted frames? Thanks!

Try this program it claims to repair bad frames and freezes in AVI's:

Oh and by the way DiVx is supported in Virtualdub. The original version 3.11 wasn't as it was an illegal Mpeg4 hack. But DiVx is now a project on it's own utilising it's own code and is therefore legal.

Thanks for explaining that ASHY.
