Techno I have downloaded part of the file from the link ftp://ftp.imbetterthanyou.com/pub/incoming/techno/lb-my_way.mpg
I must say I was unfortunately unimpressed by the quality and was expecting better. Of the 15mb which I downloaded, there is low evidence of macroblocks, but I think this is due to the fact that the image is blurred and has extreme loss of detail. There is also some evidence of A/V sync problems and low sound quality.
You may have better and I would expect better from MPEG2.
Below is a link to a 30 sec clip of American Pie2 I have converted to Mpeg2 SVCD.
Even though this MPEG2 file is of much higher quality, without macroblocks than your MPEG2 and has the same audio bitrate, the 30 second clip is actually smaller in file size than a 30 sec clip of the one I have downloaded from you.
Incidentally this movie is 1hr 46 mins and easily fits on to two 80 mins Cd's as do all the movies I create.
I don't think the MPEG2 filters u r using a giving u the CORRECT quality, there are no a/v synch issues, been tested by myself on 5 machines, and 54 people in America and say it is great.
I hope you are not trying to start up something.
THIS STUFF IS CAPTURED!!!!!!!!!!! VERY HARD TO ACHEIVE GOOD QUALITY.
The filters I happen to be using are WinDVD filters. So nothing wrong there. Capture or not I still think it's poor quality and there is slight A/V desync. I did say you probably had better. Why don't you upload a small clip of a DVD rip. I'd like to see your work on this. But it must be similar in size to mine.
I will be posting some new links to the above file as the that link obviously doesn't work.

Hi,
Try this: Go in your Windows Explorer. Create a file named Tmpgenc in Programs Files. Go back in your Unzip program where Tmpgenc was unzipped. Select Extract. Choose to extract in C:/Program files/Tempgenc. Then start Tempgenc from the Explorer. And Bob is your uncle.
I have loaded temeng, with the project file loader(t4empeng.vfp), everytime
i try to load the video, it keeps saying d2v cannot open or unsupported.
any answers...
I had this problem until I reduced the audio bitrate in tempeng from 324 (or whatever the default they have for mpeg2) to 128. I found this out by hacking it to accept a file. Then when the sound went loud, it garbled, amking it sound like the bitrate was too high for the program to handle.
Now I ma having a weird error from DVDit fro files encoded by tempeng. It says video picture size larger than buffer. Anyone know why?
I've created an AVI in virtual dub, using audio of 44.1KHz and video size of 352*288 (PAL VCD format). When I play back the AVI the sound seems fine. When I convert to MPG1 for VCD using TMPG the sound becomes really load and peaks a lot of the time when played back.
What is the correct max. Bitrate for Standard-SVCD to use at VBR/CBR (if it makes any difference)?
Some says 2520, others says 2376 kbit/s for the Video-Bitstream.
The Audio-Bitstream is at 224 kbit/s.
Hi
After multiplexing an mpeg video file and a .wav audio file i get very loud
crackles (or "dropouts) in audio. The .wav audio itself is ok (when you play it with cooledit or winamp). Any suggestions ?
Why should i extract the wav ind VDub ? Remember: i multiplexed an mpeg & a wav file to a new mpeg1 file (btw: its a music video). I think its a problem with TMPGenc.
started tmpgenc, in the wizard i choosed pal-vcd, choosed the mpeg video file & the .wav file (with 16 bits & 44.1 khz stereo). then started the conversion. thats all
Though I've never benched marked them or run the same file on both machines to gauge them identically, I think the NT box is a good bit faster with similar file sizes.
I use DVDx + avysinth plugin + tempgenc plus
Today i cut my video files with MPEG Tools. But i d like to know if it s possible to obtain, as Dvdx, severals video files which cut while encoding.
what you can do is use the "source range"and you don"t have to cut your movies,you can set it so you encode the first half and then encode the second half,but cutting while encodeing with tmpgenc is imposible.....
After conversion from an DV-AVI (32khz-sound) to MPEG with standard VCD or SVCD setting the audio is a little bit distorted. It sometimes has a high frequency sharp metal sound in it when played on a DVD-Player. I think it comes from the conversion 32kHz to 44.1 kHz.
I did also try to seperate the sound into an extra 44.1kHz-wav-file with Virtualdub and used that as input to TMPGEnc... same result.
You can try to resample it using SSRC (Shibatch Sample Rate Converter).
Search with Google.It offers a freeware good quality conversion.TmpegEnc can include it as external resample program.
I used to get the same problem you are having. It used to happen on some of my VCD's. It sounds sort of like a metalized, robotic sound at high frequencies.
Your right it is the sample rate conversion from 32khz to 44.1khz. I found out this was due to the sample rate converter of TMPG not being to good.
Virtual dub can fix it, but this time use your original DV-AVI and make sure that you tick the 'High quality' box when you change the sample rate from 32 to 44.1 in the conversion options.
This should sort your problem.
Techno: I do not want to improve. The 32khz-original-dv-avi-file is ok. The problem is only after converting to 44.1khz.
To all: Thanks for suggestions, i will try the two tips... converting with high quality and also using the shibatch-tool.
I will let you know...
Ashy: Great tip. With using the "High Quality" checkbox the sound is much better.
adv_h67: I did find the tool, but did not test it. Do i need to tell TMPGEnc some parameters when including that tool?
keeping: I am not sure. I think i can set my cam to two different recording-settings... and i think i also have the possibility to receive that via firewire... but i am not sure.
Hello, I start tmpenc Plus under Windows XP. When I Cut a Mpeg1 Movie there come an Error-Message "73ef1d04 read Error occured at 73ef1d04".
What can I do?
