Hey i was wondering if anyone could send me version 2.5 at my e-mail adress Skap8312@hotmail.com, because i dont know if it is a problem with my newer version, thanks!
Hey, i am new at using this program and i was trying to copy a DVD. After using Claddvd XP to extract and copy the files, I then used DVD2AVI to save them as one file. They are saved as separate Mpeg audio files, and .dv2 video files. When i try to open The video file on Tmpgenc it says "'DVD-Fight Club.dv2' can not open, or unsupported." When that didnt work i went back to DVD2AVI and saved the movie as an AVI file, and it still didnt work, I would really appreciate if someone could help me out, thanks a lot!
Well there are a few things you should do differently, first use "Smartripper" it is a faster and better dvd decrypter,another thing your settings in dvd2avi are wrong you are not supposed to get a mpeg audio file, you supposed to get a "wav" audio file..plus you probably don"t have your dvd2avi vfapi plugin..There are a lot of things you have to fix before your going to be able to encode your movie,..You can e-mail me and I will send you some instructions on how to do it properly, there just isn"t enough time or space here to go through it all......
In DVD2AVI
Change the Channel format to auto select.
Click help and make sure VFAPI plugin is checked.
Copy DVD2AVI.VFP from your DVD2AVI folder to the folder where the TMPGenc.exe is located.
In TMPG.
Click Option>Enviromental setting>Vfapi plugin and make sure DVD2AVI project file reader is checked. If it is and you still get the error raise it's priority to 1 or 2.
A feature that will fix corrupt mpeg1-files....
I've some files which have audio buffer underrun errors/
sync errors/ corrupt frame errors..etc Someknow if there is
there a prog that can already do this ie. drop the corrupt frame
and jump to the next correct one..? most of the editors like
ifilmedit just report the error and cant fix or do anything with
the affected file..
There is a program called "mpeg repair" that will repair corupted mpeg files.But the program is not easy to get and it isn"t free, but I might me getting a demo and If I do I will post if it is any good and were to get it...
Yeh ever tried to use it.
You need a degree in rocket science, a lot of time and a lot of patience.
It just 'aint worth it bro believe me.
If you wanna fix corrupt frames just try re-encoding the MPEG.
If you wanna fix sync probs use a program which corrects the sync as it multiplexes such as MPEG2VCR or BBMPEG.
Also BBMPEG can sort out your Bufferunder run errors by choosing a different mux rate.
I just got a full version of it , and it can scan your file for errors and re-encode portions of it but they are trying to sell this program for $3000,and the demo only works for a few frames, luckily I can read a bit of code, and re-write a bit to, so I got it to work to as a full version but I"m still trying to figure out how I would use it...i wouldn"t recomend it to anyone unless as elvis says you got a degree in rocket science..
The power in my apartment went out the other day and my computer works fine except now on this program, every time I try to use the source range on the project wiz it says that TMPGENC have caused some errors and needs to be restarted. I have already deleted the program, redownloaded it and instanlled it again. If someone knows the answer, please help
Look here elvis. I I don't used the wizard unless I want to use the source range. I would use it at all I just want to use the souce range but it is screwed up. trust me I know what I am doing!!! don't make assuptions. It just shows me that you don't know the answer. So if you don't the don't reply my mesage
I have a problem with Audio, which I thought I had it sorted after my last posting/responses, but there seems to something else.
I am ripped off a NTSC DVD using smartripper. Then used DVD2AVI. ( had problems as the sound was at 48KHz), so after tthe responses on the BBS I managed to downgrade it 44k) all seemed fine as tried a short piece conversion and then took it into TMPGnc and I could see the video, audio and produced a mpg file with video an audio. I then did the whole movie with DVD2AVI and all went fine with rigth size files etc (sound at 44KHz). when I did the TMpgen there was no sound at all. Can't inderstand this.
I am sure Manion or Ashy would be able to pinpoint the problem stright away.
As a last resort, should I do each VOB file seperatly? and merge them in TMPgenc?
I think your problem is that you are useing "dvd2avi" to convert the audio from 48000hz to 41000hz,"tmpgenc" will do this..but I would sudgest getting a different audio encoder for "tmpgenc" and a frequency converter, the one I use is called "SCMPX" it works with "tmpgenc" as an external tool,it is an encoder and a frequency converter and can be found on any search engine ,anothere good encoder it "toolame" these might solve your problem, but after extracting the audio from you vob files with dvd2avi try listening to the wav file and see how it sounds,....
Thanks a lot. I'll try that. When you say us external converter, i take you mean get the audio via dvd2avi and then apply conversion and then take to tmpgen ?
I managed to use tmpgen on sepertate files produced by dvd2avi and i am now going to link them together. Just can't understand why tmpgen would not do it for the all the files to produce one mpg file!! - too big?
Changing 16:9 to 4:3. The ONLY problem with the finished product is that there are horizontal lines (typically in scenes with high motion). How can I fix the problem so the movie is basically the same quality as original?
Those horizontal lines are "interlace lines" to make them less noticeable use the "de-interlase" feature in the "advanced settings" there are a whole bunch of different de-interlace options so you have to find the one that works for the particular movie you are doing.....but to have a movie that look exactly like the original,that"s a long shot....
hi
i downloaded spiderman in avi form.and when i try to convert it to mpeg i get sound but no picture.
i have noticed i do not get a picture in preview window as it converts,i do with other avi files.
any advise i can get will be a big help.
thanks.
john.
Make sure you have all the proper codecs, you should have divx5 and divx4, becaude divx5 wont decode divx4, and make sure you "direct show" plugin has a high enough priority....
I have a problem - I need to convert SVCD to VCD. Used DVD2AVI to create a project file from the SVCD files, as suggested by WWW.VCDHELP.COM, but on both attempts to create the new VCD file (using the project file as a source), I get the following error in a dialog box:-
"Read error occurred at address 036E6327 of module 'DVD2AVI.VFP' with 01ECEEBF."
This seems to happen at the same point in the file (around 42% progress complete), so I assume it stems from a problem with the source files, however, is there an easy way around this?
(TMPGEnc 2.5m Version 2.54.37.135, Core Version 1.87.133
DVD2AVI Project File Reader 1.76)
... I should also mention that there are some visual artifacts in the image at and around the point where this problem occurs - obviously dodgy source video.
yes there might be a way around this,first we arent going to use dvd2avi because you are haveing problems with the vfapi plugin, but you need to save the audio files that dvd2avi made, go get the "vfapi converter" this makes psudo avi files for frame serveing, load your "mpeg" file into the "vfapi converter" make sure the audio box does "NOT" have a check in it, convert the mpeg with the vfapi converter to an avi, this takes about 5 seconds with out the audio, now load the avi file made by the vfapi converter into "tmpgenc" and load the audio from dvd2avi then encode, the "psudo avi"will feed the information to "tmpgenc" just loke dvd2avi would but you are just useing a different vfapi plugin....another thing you can do is "de-multiplex" your mpeg2/svcd file and load it in "tmpgenc" and encode it, you just need to make sure you have the mpeg2 vfapi plugin...so here you go a few things you can try ,any of them should work........good luck
I ran into a similar problem encoding a DVD2AVI .d2v file to mpeg1 with the same version of tmpegenc:
"Read error occurred at address 100064B7 of module 'DVD2AVI.VFP' with 06C69E78."
Funnily enough, the error occured at about 43% of the input file, almost like with mikes file. But I'm pretty sure that the source isn't simply broken, because:
a) When I start encoding from the beginning, Tmpegenc stops at frame 78024.
b) with source range set from 77993 to 78100, it breaks down, too..
c) BUT: source range 77994 to 78100 works fine and the resulting mpeg is OK.
Does anyone have a explanation for this? I'd really like to get these 4 GB free again :))
My TmpGenc encodes suffer from a very slight jerk during playback - about once a second. This happens on both my PC an DVD player.
I have played mpegs that I have downloaded that were encoded by someone else and they are fine.
What am I doing wrong.
Cheers.
This happens if you encode a avi file to mpeg at a frame rate that is different than the avi,a lot of avi file downloaded off the net have frame rates that are up to half of what they should be so the files are smaller and quicker to download...but this is just a guess cuz i have no idea what you are doing so i can"t tell you what you are doing wrong....
I get a constant background noise like a hissing/screeching when I encode with MPEG-1 Layer2, but if I use MPEG-1 Layer1 it sounds perfect. If I try to encode the whole video with Layer1 it will give me something like "Illegal Sound Stream" or something simular. Should it be able to encode with Layer1 audio?
it should be able to encode mpeg1 audio,but mpeg2 audio sounds better, try a different mp2 encoder and encode your audio with it then multiplex it with your mpeg video..
WAV2MP is far to slow for my liking. What it takes TMPG to do in 15 mins it takes WAV2MP 30 mins. The way I do it takes 3 mins to encode a wav to mp2 for a full movie.
Try conerting audiostream in Virtual dub first,
i've noticed that the internal audio decorder has a
lot of problems with 48 KHz sound.or save as wave uncompressed
and feed it into TMPGenc.
