I goto file->output file->avi
then I click on the semi hidden button to select which codec is to be used instead of the default no compression. My question is, why can't I see my codec in this list, the codec in question is the divx5 codec (doesn't really matter, it could have been any codec). If I use VirtualDub I can see the codec and use it and it works fine. I also have TMPGEnc installed on 2 other comps and I CAN see the codec in it. Does anyone know how to remidy this problem?
I never know that "tmpgenc" had a codec option ,after useing this program for quite some time I have never heard of what you are talking about,but maybe someone else does.....
goto file->output file->avi
there u will get a new windows
u will see that a codec has allready been picked (no compression) and below it there is an audio codec.
well if u look carefully u will see that right next to the codec mini window there is button that has been almost covered up, it is to the right
If u look carefully and click on it u will see the codec menu
Can't understand why it wouldn't show up in TMPG if it does in Virtualdub.
Have you tried to remove it and then re-install the codec to re-register it with windows. Does it show any other codecs.
Also try and delete the 'CurrentCfg.tpr' file in your TMPG folder or maybe download a fresh copy of TMPG.

Sorry donjuan80.
I just realised you were answering minion for a minute there I thought you were answering your own question. Got me a bit confused there....duh.

I had no problems so far using the program, it works great!
Only I downloaded a (probably DivX) hughe file 840Mb and Tmpg blocked at 25% of the movie. To fix the problem I then spended 8 hours to convert the file to a Mov file with a Sorensen Codex to hold the filesize low, and it retuns to be a file of 3.2 Giga. All works great and the quality is still DVDlike.
Most of the new movietrailers are using this Sorensen Compression and it works fine when using Tmpg.
So my question is, what is the problem, the filesize? Is there a limit by the way? Or should I use another compression, or maybe avoid MOV files?
Thanks for your replies.
I have an problem with cut mpeg2 files.
the source is mpeg2 352*288 2560000bit video const.bitrate 44.1khz audio.
I will cut from the file (45min) about 5 min.
on video is all ok, but the audio is no longer synchron. he is about 1-2 sec
to slow on end of the new 40 min mpeg.
I want to use Cinema Craft 2.5 with TMP and would like to know what steps should be taken to do so and what would be the optimal audio/video setting would ensure top-notch quality
I purchased tmpgenc, have a serial number, downloaded it fine, etc. HOWEVER, as I read through this bulletin board about different settings, I notice I am unable to set some of them because they are "grayed out" and won't allow me to. Some settings I can't set are audio bitrate, dct component precision, vbv buffer,etc. Can anyone help me out with this! Still stuck in remote Alaska with no good movies!
hmm. . .well, I HAVE contacted pegasys twice in the last two weeks and received no reply; I HAVE searched the bulletin board a few times but have not found my specific question. I tried searching again using unlock.mcf in the search box and only got this posting and response. I DO have the unlock.mcf file located within the template/extra folder of my tmpgnec program. I was hoping that someone else out there maybe has another suggestion? thank you.
The reason why you can't select the options her are because you are probably trying to encode an to an MPEG1 file.
Some of these options aren't really relevant to MPEG1 and are only relevant to MPEG2 and is why they are greyed out.
To select these options you must choose an Mpeg2 template and then unlock it or select whichever template you want then unlock it and then under the 'Video tab' in settings change the Video stream type to MPEG-2 Video. You will then be able to select the options. You shouldn't have any problem changing the audio bitrate though in either MPEG1 or MPEG2 when you have 'unlocked' the settings.
I got it fixed. I was understanding the differences between mpeg1 and mpeg2 and all that, but NOT really understanding how the template thing worked. I have only been at this about 3-4 weeks and have already downloaded, encoded and burned onto cd's about 22 movies of respectable quality. I can tell the quality is going to get even better!
I have been trying to learn by reading and printing tips from the bulletin board and notice that you have some really good ones--thanks alot!:)
I have been burning VCD 2.0 until three days ago with Nero 5.5.7
Suddenly, burned CDs are not recognized (NO DISK) in my Mustek/Yukay player.
What happened?
I had the same problem with Nero. Nero v5.5.7.2 worked fine. Upgraded to 5.5.8.0 and by Hitecker Ad600a would not recognise the SVCD disk. Went back to 5.5.7.2 and all ok. So, did you upgrade Nero by any chance? - and yes I agree with the previous posting - the wrong BBS
If you get that many packets to under flow,it means there isn"t enough information to fill the vbv buffer,there is a good post 1 page back by "Ashy" that explains the vbv buffer,all I can sugest is to lower your vbv buffer size..
if it happens at multiplex just ignore it and burn it and see if it works if it doesn"t try what i said above but it happens to me when multiplexing but it usualy works ....
Yep, but i've allready buy the MPEG2 Plug in for Nero Burning, so my question is.. Do i Need to buy it Tmpgenc too or ,just encode the vob files to an MPG1 and after with nero conver the mog files to a svcd ??
When I play a VCD on my DVD player, the audio and video will get out of sync, then re-sync again. If it is out and I back up the movie and play again, it will re-sync. It does this with burns from both VCDEasy and Easy CD. Any ideas?
I have the same problem ,and i figured out that the problem is with your(my)dvd player..but as to how to fix it I couldn"t tell you .I"m working on a couple of things with buffer size that might help ,I"ll post my results when if ever I figure it out.....
PS:try playing your vcd"s on a different player and see if there is a change...
I believe if you change the gop it wont be vcd compliant,I think the gop is mostly for dvd"s.......but what seems to work sometimes with limited sucess is to burn your vcd"s at a lower speed,but the problem seems to lie with the buffer on the dvd player , and the buffer on tmpgenc, I"l do some experiments and see if i can solve the problem........
2. After you have encoded the movie run it through the simple mutiplexer again using the Video cd option.
3. Lower the speed of your burn and don't burn above 4x (this solves a lot of problems on some DVD players)
4. If your DVD player has a background screen which can be switched off, try switching this off before you put your disk in and play the movie or put your movie in the disk tray then switch off your machine and directly press the play button before pressing power.
The reason for this I can only deduce is that the background screen is being displayed in MPEG2 format and it is this switch from MPEG2 to MPEG1 which is causing the decoding problem.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try them all and let you know. Sorry about the multiple copies of the post, the refresh button was re-posting without my knowledge.
I have the same problem with the audio out of sync, however I have found it after encoding and b4 multiplexing. In other words, the mpeg output file audio is out of sync with the picture. It does not get better then worse then better again, the lag continues to widen.
Frequency is 44100Hz and bitrate is 224.
after converting vob's using dvd2avi, i try to make vcd. first i load video file ok. Then when i try to load audio file AC3 T02 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3 i get the mouse hour glass and the program hangs. Sometimes i get a 'sorry for inconvinience this program will shut down' message. I've had it running ok in the past but i don't know what has happened. I even deleted the program and downloaded it again but still it doesn't want to load audio file. It only works if i drag and drop vob file in video box. Any suggestions please!
I have had this problem before,try to play the file and see if it sounds right,if it does here is a little trick I just figured out,download db power amp and get the mp2 codec,then convert your wav file to mp2 ,then encode your video with no audio, when it is done multi-plex the 2 files together and you will have a mpeg with audio.....
ps: make sure you encode the audio at 4100khz at 224kbs or less...but if this all fails use dvd2avi to get a new audio track but be sure to check the "dolby downmix" option in dvd2avi.........hope this helps
What is the reason you are using DVD2AVI to extract the ac3 and then put in TMPG?
This seems pointless as you wont get proper dolby pro surround sound if you don't downmix the 6 channels into a two channel wav.
TMPG will simply throw away the other 4 channels and just encode the main left and right channels leaving you with missing information in your audio.
to fix the "can"t open or unsupported" error go to yer "enviromental settings" then "vfapi plugins" and raise your "direct show" to "2" and every thing else at"0" this should work......
hi i got a problem, i did that thing what he said with the Direct show to 2 and the rest on zero and it kinda looked like it was wokrign then the error came up agaisn saying "can not open/Unsupported"
can someone please help me, thank you
