I use a TV card which records AVI. The problem is that the audio setting is only PCM, 44100, 16 Bit stero at 172Kbs. When I use TMPGEnc to convert a program to MPG, it works okay except in MPG playback the audio portion lags behing the video.

I can seem to set TMPGEnc to the above (PCM) audio settings I am stuck with.
How do I make TMPGEnc convert the audio and picture in sync ?

Any help (PLEASE) ?

Thanks

What type of de-sync do you get? is it in sync at the begining it slowly goes out of sync over the course of the movie, Is it out of sync right off the start and stays the same de-sync through the clip or is it out of sync at the start and gets worse as the movie goes on or does it go in and out of sync at certain parts ,like high motion parts,or is it in sync on your computer but not on your dvd player?there are many different reasons that de-sync can happen and with captured movies it more often that not comes from the avi file ,so can you give us more info about your file and the type of de sync and we will try to help...

Thanks for your help,

It is in sync in the beginning and continues to get worse with time.

Thanks, any help is much appreciated.

That is what i thought, it"s allways that way with captures,what is happening when you captured you dropped a certain amount of frames and that will make your audio track longer than your video track, to correct this is pretty tricky but possible. get a good audio editing program like "cool edit" and you can slightly speed up the audio track to it gets in sync with your video,the best way is to find out exactly how long your video is then how long your audio is then calculate the percentage of how much longer the audio is than the video then speed up the audio that percentage...I think you should be able to figure it out,if you need to find out were to get "cool edit" you can e-mail me and i might be able to hook you up with it......

Let me ask one important question.

Is the audio in sync with the original captured AVI?
If it is it may be TMPG's demuxer which is causing the problem.

Try this.

Open your captured AVI in Virtualdub.
Save the audio as a wav file.
Now save the Video only using 'direct stream copy' making sure you choose no audio.

Close Virtualdub and reopen it and open the AVI you have just created without the sound.
Now open the wav file by clicking 'Audio' and choosing 'wav audio'

Click the first play button to check your audio is in sync with the movie.
If it is then load both parts into TMPG and encode a small test file to see if it's ok.
If so go ahead and encode the whole thing.

If it isn't in sync post back and tell me whether the audio is behind or ahead of the video also play the separate AVI and audio in mediaplayer and note the lengths and post them here.

I don't know if this option even exists in your software,but make sure you have interleaving checked in your capture software this should avoid any sync probs with dropped frames when capturing.

Can we use TMPGEnc for Plug-in ADOBE Premiere 6.0 ?

Go to www.videotools.net and get the frameserver plugin for Premiere. This will let you output your premiere video stream straight into TMPGEnc

i just spent a few days finding the perfect VBR settings for about 12 anime episodes (which i have already encoded btw). however the svcd author program i'm using only allows 29.97 fps, is there a way to convert this movie without re-encoding the videos all over again? (i tried using that program "pulldown", but it just didn't work...) - ANY HELP WILL ROCK!! =p

The easyest way is to get a different authouring program,go to "www.downloads.com" and download "nero burning rom" this will burn your svcd at the frame rate you have........

First, which crap program are you using which doesn't allow burning anything other than 29.976 fps(I find this unusual to say the least).
Download NERO.

Secondly you should have converted the framerate to 29.976 using the 3:2 pulldown in TMPG. This would have converted your movies perfectly with whichever settings you choose.
To use 3:2 pulldown in TMPG you need to encode to MPEG2.
Under the 'Video' tab click 'Encode mode' and change it to '3:2 pulldown when playback'
Then change the 'Framerate' setting to 29.976 fps(internally 23.97fps)

Then encode.

Another method which may allow you to load the Movies you have converted in your current software is to download this tool.
http://www.dvd-digest.net/downloads/files/encode/frame_convert.zip

It will allow you to convert the framerate of an MPEG from 23.976 to 29.976 and viceaversa in only a few seconds.

By the way the URL for Nero is http://www.nero.com

Well, my question is becouse I have a problem with a film that I've encoded with tmpgenc; I forgot to divide the film and now it is so longer to copy in a CD, so I wanted to ask if there's any program o way to divide a film in two or three parts, I've Nero 5,5 but it doesn't do what I want to achive!

Please, if someone know what I can do, please, help me!

PD: this question includes all cain of archives (*.avi, *.mpg, *.mpeg,...)

You should look through the site first to get your question answered cuz this question has been answered many times...First go to "file" to "mpeg tools" then to "merge&cut" and there you can divide your file,it is one of the major features of "tmpgenc"....

I am trying to open an uncompressed AVI file that I made with Premiere 6.01, and it gives me the error

File "xxxxx" can not open, or unsupported.

I am able to open other uncompressed AVI files with the program, and the above file opens fine with any other program but this. Any ideas?

Did you edit the clip in Premiere?

did you get your avi through dv capture? or useing a dv codec?"Tmpgenc" is only compatable with certain types of dv.I think it only supports "open DML" and "video for windows" .I don"t do capture so I"m not keen on on the settings for it, but maybe someone elce knows,or maybe it isn"t a capture.....

I edited the file in Premiere and exported the timeline as an uncompressed movie. The compressor was listed as "Microsoft DV AVI (NTSC)". What is funnier is that if I open that exported movie in Adobe After Effects and save it with the same settings (uncompressed AVI), I can open it with tmpgenc. Any ideas?

when you export the timeline there is another avi option - something like MS AVI (note that it does NOT say "DV" in the title.

this is the format you need to use.

k guys,

When I watched my movie yesterday, the sound (48 khz) was great. I only had 2 little probs:

1) I used pal 4:3 625 lines >> The screen on TV was to heigh. How do i fix this??

2) after each =/- 5 sec. the film delayed a little. I used 25 bit/s. is that enough? how do I fix this one??

Thx it advance, greets scorp

I meant 25 fps instead of bit/s

You must have changed the output framerate from the original framerate.

Also if your movie is widescreen you need to chose 16:9 and 'full screen(keep aspect ratio' as your source setting.

PROCESSADORES AMD NO EXECUTABLE?

I dont know. I haven't ridden a bike in ages.

ASHY

If you question is "does can TMPEnc run on a computer with an AMD Processor?", the question is yes. As long as it's fast enough.

It will be nice to have a minimize to tray option

I Totally agree with you 100%, it would be really nice to have a minimize to tray option

i am having problem with audio gradually going out of sync with video on a dvd-r backup. Everything goes great, ripping dvd to hd, run dvd2avi, then tmpgenc plus for dvd ntsc template 4000 cbr, and authoring/burning with ulead movie factory. the audio looks to be in sync at beginning of dvd-r playback on standalone dvd player but goes out of sync as the movie progresses. looks like audio gets behind about two seconds with the video. Can anyone help me with this?

Sounds like you might have made your mpeg file with a different frame rate than the avi,but if that isn"t the case then see if your audio track is longer than your video,if it is you can use a audio editing program like "cool edit" to speed up the sound track so that it matches up with the video track ,and if your video is longer you can slow down the sound track to get it to sync up with the video, it is a tricky procedure but I have done it before.......

Hi,
This is my second posting.

I have Sony P4 1.7 Ghz, 512Mb RAM, XP HE, etc.

Recently, I can not import the mpeg2 done by TMPGenc into DVDit! SE v. 2.52 Ligos. I get error message "Could not find a suitable decoder".
I have the same TMPGenc settings for the past 3-4 releases (PAL, 60min, VBR, encode mode - Interlaced, DC component 10, motion prec. - Highest quality, etc.) I never ever touched GOPs.

Initially, I thougth that encoding bit rate is to high, decreased to the 6000b/sec but still got the same problem. I tried all here proposed solutions but none of them worked. I went to Sonic DVDit! forum, tried all proposed solution there - nothing worked.

Then I talked to DVDit! helpdesk - got private number from one of the guys. They tried something remotely but it did not worked.
Then, they asked me for the sample mpeg2 - not bigger then 4Mb. Amazingly, what ever file I create by TMPGenc up to the 4Mb (approx. 7 sec of movie) DVDit! process it without any problems. Even if I cut "bad" mpeg2 file to get small file - everything works fine.

But I do not want that crazy to cut all my movies in the portions of 5-7 sec.
Then I tried to upload TMPGenc mpeg2 files done 2 months ago (with the same settings) into DVDit! - no problem.

I propsed sending bigger "bad" mpeg2 file to Sonic via FTP so that they can see what's going on - but nobody answered so far.


The only thing that come son my mind is that Microsoft made recently XP "fix" for mpeg encoding - I upgrade my system and ever since then I fail with DVDit!

The worst is tha Sonic charges per incident US$29.95 but they should provide fix. I have no problems paying that amount - ALL I NEED IS fix. I do NOT want to get rid of TMPG cause I think it is great tool - better to scrap DVDit.

Does anyone has idea what should I do.

Thanks

I have "dvdit pe 2.5" and I have problems getting about half of my mpeg files in to "dvdit" so I switched to "ulead dvd movie workshop" and it seems to accept any mpeg I throw at it,and it has most of the same features,give it a try if you can"t find another solution,you can e-mail me and I might be able to hook you up with a copy.....

I manage to get the "correct" TMPG settings from SONIC DVDit! team. I do not know what is really difference but I solve the issue. SONIC promised to see what was wrong with those TMPGenc settings by examining the "bad" file I sent. As soon as I know something I let you know.

SONIC also could no process my file created with my "ld" standard TMPG settings.

Anyway, if somebody need those SONIC TMPGenc DVD mpeg2 settings let me know and I can mail it or ftp-it.

hi

what must do for under win 98 se


please

the mpeg2 trial has expired, how do i register this or atleast get it to work again,

regards frank

click the banner at the bottom of this page, then you will know how to
purchase it.

The latest version of TMPGEnc, 2.54a has information how to do it, but
I guess what you are using is 2.53 or before.

Or, you can visit "Contact" page, but do not send E-mail to author, you just need to read the test there.

download the 2.54 version, or the 2.54a.....
