Hello. I'm trying to convert a PAL SVCD to NTSC, but when I try to open the .mpg, I receive the following error message:

File can not open or unsupported. I have the latest version of TMPGenc.

The .mpg is working because I made a SVCD from it.

Any ideas on how to do convert this? TIA

you need the "m2v plugin" to open "mpeg2" files in "tmpgenc" plus you will have to "de-multiplex" your file and load in your files seperately.......

Does TMPGEnc support .dat file on vcd?
How do I extract audio part from a .dat file?

hmm.....
if you wanna rip a vcd just copy that .dat file to your hard drive...
wanna extract the audio....well if you rename the .dat to .mpg it'll still work and to extract the audio run a demultiplex.

hope this helps



...hope i'm right...

when i stop a vcd when its playing in my dvd player im able to resume where i left off, but if i play a svcd and stop half way through i cant resume playback where i stoped it. any thoughts on how i can make my svcd compatable with the resume function? or is it just my dvd player?

I"m not totally sure but I think if you set chapters in your "mpeg2/svcd" file then it should stop at the chapter points when you press stop and resume from the closest chapter point..but I"m not sure I just use the pause button.....

I had a question about deinterlacing just recently and had trouble understanding the advance tab.The problem was that the advance tab's instructions to double click to open each filters menu was out of site below the main settings window. If anyone has the same problem just double click each filter and remember to check the box after you have selected the setting.Must admit I ended up with an excellent result for SVCD after a bit of experimenting.Good sofware even if the learning curve is a bit like climbing Mt. Everest for a novice.Without the forum, very difficult.

There have been a few posts in the past from people who have been unable to use TMPGenc output in Sonic ReelDVD, getting an error message saying the file was rejected for not being either 4:3 or 16:9.

I have never had a problem, until today when I accidentally tried to use ReelDVD with a program stream file (.mpg) and this error message appeared.

ReelDVD and possibly DVDiT only accept video streams (.m2v), so when encoding either click the "Video only" radio button under stream type, or if you have already encoded program streams, use the Demultiplex tool to recover the video stream.

whenever i convert my avi files to mpeg i get a pink discoloration of some of the pixels off and on. any solutions, reasons would help, thanks.

This is sometimes caused by the "angel potion" codec pack, if you have this codec on your system then get rid of it, and I heard that lowering the priority if your "direct show" filter might help, but I don"t know why....

yeah it was "angel potion" codec that was giving me problems, but all is good now. thanks minion!!!

Hi,
I want to make selectable audio streems in my SVCD (like language on a dvd), how can this be don with Tmpegenc ? Has anybody some experience with this ?

I have never done it but I think you can "multiplex" multiple audio streams into your video file with the "multiplex" option......I know some authoring programs have a multiple audio stream option.......

Thanks for the tip minion, i have to demultiplex the mpeg file first then multiplex it with the new audio.
Do you know also how you can make subtitels ?

Hi,

using the evaluation version of TmpgEnc to produce a DVD-R
DVDit does not accept a .mpg file of about 700 MB encoded
by TmpgEnc from a .avi produced by premiere.

The error message from DVDit says that no valid decoder
could be found. A small .mpg produced by TmpgEnc is
recognized.

Is this coming from the evaluation version ?


TIA

I have "sonic dvdit 2.5 pe" and it sucks the big one it wont accept anything I try to put in it, so I switched to "ulead dvd workshop" and it has no problems with any thing that I throw at it.........so maybe try a switch...

Thanks,

I tried the evaluation version of Ulead DVD MovieFactory
and got no problem with a TMPGenc mpeg2.

i have converted a avi file to mpeg. the sound of the mpeg file is gone. How can i get the sound correctly

Your audio could be a unsupported format. you will have to extract the audio from your "avi" with "virtua dub" and convert it to "wav" format, then use that as your audio source,.....

Hi, I just spend 3 hours to encode to mpeg2 [svcd] with TMPG. And after I play it in a PowerDVD under information bitrate goes high up to 3.6Mbit !? .. I set CBR @ 2400 kbps as encode parameters sound 224 .. how is that posible? I presume that set top dvd player will have problems to play such nonstandard SVCD while video+audio should be 2748 kbps acording to standard? How is posible that CBR encode setting return VBR when playing.?

Thanks.

Your player won"t have a problem with it ..I have a totaly cheap dvd player like $100, and I do my "svcd"s at a average of 3000kbs and a max at 6000kbs..and my player has mo problems with it , my player even plays svcd"s with a resolution of "720 by 480".....but burn a single disk and see how your player handles it and if it does handle it try it a high resolution, and if that works then you can make your svcd"s look almost exactly the same as the original dvd with high res.it is good to see what you players limits are...

Thanks on feedback .. I but I will send that SVCD to my relatives, they live 300 km away, so I would like to burn a standard SVCD to I can be sure that will play it .. any way thanks ..

A targa sequence from After Effects shows up upside down. How can I vertically flip it in tmpeg?

I am just getting into copying dvds for the purpose of backing up.

I have been instructed by a friend to use Smart Ripper to extract the VOB files to disk (which works very well), then I use FlaskMPeg to convert the vobs to a single AVI file, PAL encoding 352X288 resolution, 25fps, INDEO-5.1 CODEC, 44.1 KHz audio, interlaced etc.

When I play back the AVI, the results are very good indeed. Even the sound is nicely synced.

I have then been using TMPGEnc as recommended on quite a few web sites to do the conversion between AVI and MPEG-1 for making a VCD. However, I have found that pixelation occurrs very frequently in the MPG files when played. This seems to be when the brightness changes suddenly or when there is a lot of movement.

Any ideas how I can minimise this pixelation?

The Indeo-Movie is the Problem.
Kick Flask away and use DVD2AVI to create a d2v- and a WAV-File from the VOB (Save Project). Then use TMPGEnc for encoding this directly without saving an AVI first... and be happy.
