I got a problem when ripping DVD. I use SmartRipper then DVD2AVI. After that I use TMPGEnc to convert it into NTSC-VCD format. However, for some songs in the CD, the program, TMPGEnc, suddenly closed by itself when the encoding get around 98-99%. Can anyone help?
The abilty to read & import sequential VOB files automaticaly like DVD2AVI does.
Also repeat/loop and a fade in/out function for video would realy add a sweet touch to Custom Video.
I used to use tmpgenc with windows millenium and never had any problems but recently i changed to windows xp professional and now none of the files i wish to convert from avi to mpeg work, i get the message file can not open or file unsupported, as i said earlier, before i installed xp i didnt have any problem converting these type of files, does anybody know whether this software is compatible with windows xp professional? I downloaded the newest version of tmpgenc.
>This is not problem between XP and TMPGEnc. On your XP system, you do not have codecs which you had in WinMe system.
>thanks, do you know which codecs i need?
Actually, you might try going into TMPGEnc's Environment settings and changing the priority of the DirectShow filters to 0 or 1. They probably reset to the default if you re-installed TMPGEnc after your upgrade.
minioN..thanks dude for all ur help.really make these forums worth while posting in...im prety sure everyone thats posted here
feeels the same way,,
anyways...
keep up the good work dude..:)
I just downloaded TMPGEnc using the wizard and converting from Divx to SVCD using the High Quality setting the video is not smooth about every 10 seconds, it seems to skip a frame or pause for a milisecond.
The file is being converted on a intel celeron 1.3ghz.
Are there any settings that can be changed to prevent this?
Does anyone know why this is happening?
i 've downloaded and i am very satisfied with this proggy but i've a question .. i was converting a avi video into mpeg and my PC crashed during the operation ... now i have a mpeg file which is not completed ... is it possible to resume the conversion process from the frame where it was aborted ? it would save me a lot of time ...
Sort of.
Load your unfinished MPEG into TMPG the click File>Preview and move the slider to the very end, click on the arrow a couple of times just to make sure it is the end and note the frame number.
Now load your AVI, click Setting>advanced and double click the 'Source range ' filter. Type the frame number you just got from your MPEG into the 'start frame' box then click the 'set start frame' button.
Do the same for the end frame and then encode your movie.
You will have only the part from where your PC crashed encoded. You then have to join the 2 parts together using the 'Merge&Cut' tool, go to File>MPEGtools.
Im following up on that illegal mpeg situation. I make my mpegs with vcd gear using the bin-cue - mpeg option. I installed that mpeg2 codec and this still didnt solve the issue. Cant demultiplex either cuz it says illegal mpeg no matter what i do. Please help! thanks again
VCD gear is your problem. This program is crap.
I have had many instances of VCD gear producing illegal MPEGs and MPEGs TMPG doesn't like and gave up using the program a long time ago.
What is the reason you are trying to extract the MPEG from an image anyway?
Anyway the best way I have found of extracting MPEGs from images is to use ISOBUSTER. http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/
This program will extract a usable MPG or .dat file from the image which you can then open in TMPG.
There is no need to convert .dat to MPEG as TMPG has no problem opening .dat files.
the reason i have to do that is so i can do the trick to make my dvd player play the svcds. I make an mpeg and use tmpgenc to put a vcd header on it. So should i be able to take the mpegs that i have already made and make em work still with isobuster? I hope so cuz i have a lot of them. Thanks again for all the help. :)

As a newbie I just downloaded TMPGEnc 2.54a to try it together with my WinTV PVR to make SVCD's. With WinTV PVR I recorded a mpg file and tried to convert/"repair" it with TMPGEnc., because Nero complained about it, when I tried to burn a SVCD. I used File>MPEGTools and everything went right, also with the burning with Nero after that. However on the burnt SVCD I miss about 5 minutes of the original 20 minutes video. The converted file also is some 20% smaller than the original file.
Did I do something wrong or are there limitations, regarding the size, in the free version of TMPGEnc ?
I don"t know why your movie is shorter after useing "tmpgenc" but I might know why "nero" was complaining adout the file and a possible solution.Nero wouldn"t accept the file because it was not encoded for svcd ,meaning there were no svcd headers on the file,you can easily put the proper headers on the file by loading it in the "merge and cut" feature and chooseing "super-vcd/mpeg2 VBR" in the drop down menue, choose your out put directory and click "run", tmpgenc will now make a copy of your mpeg file but put the proper headers on it to make it svcd compliant, now nero should accept it unless the frame size is out of specs, but a lot of players will play svcd"s with non-standard frame sizes ,mine plays svcd"s with 704 by 480 better than the 480 by 480 frame size, This might be a work around for your problem if you cant fix it with tmpgenc..
Thank you Minion for your reply. Tonight I will try your solution.
In the meantime I tried again to "repair" the file with tmpgenc (File>MPEGtools>Simple Multiplex). I browsed for the mpg file and hitted run and then it began to multiplex. However that stopped at about 80% and then the header writing began. Thus the stopping at 80% with multiplexing should be the cause of the problem I think. However I don't understand why it stops at 80% and what I could do. I hope you can help we further with this.
TIA
I love TMPGEnc, and plan on registering next payday. However, I have one problem.
I am capturing using a MPeg2(software) card at 720x480, I Frames only. I then use DVD2AVI to convert to MPeg1 for editing. When I go to Encode either a DVD or SCVD, the picture is noticably brighter than the original or a VCD, MPeg-1 reencode. I've tried two or three sets of templates from the web and this problem still persists.
Is there a good way to correct this problem, or do I need to use something like the Flask Encoder?
The simplest way to correct the problem is to change the brightness before you encode with TMPG.
Click the 'setting' button then 'advanced' then double click the 'simple colour' correction filter.
Now adjust the brigtness to your liking.
You haven"t missed anything,this seems to happen when you edit and join a file part way through a "gop", you can try to avoid it by editing and joining in a different part like a second earlier or later in the file,..
Always click the 'correct' button before you join, this should correct the problem. This should make sure the GOP's are joined together correctly.
If it doesn't, do as Minion says and move the cut up or down a few frames slightly and try again.
I capture one hour of video with AVI-IO that "breaks" it in several files because of the 2 GB limitation. Those several files are then joined with TMPGenc so there are no way how to join in a different part like a second or even a frame earlier or later or the result video will certainly jump. Am I wrong?
What sort of AVI are you using. Using today's modern AVI codecs you should be able to capture up to 4gb of AVI.
The 2gb limit was for old version 1 AVI.
You should be using virtualdub to frameserve those segmented files to TMPG, or AVIsynth to join them, not joining them together like that.
Open Virtual dub, load your first AVI then click File>Append video segment and load next AVI. Do this for each segment and they will be automatically joined into one then start the frameserver and frameserve to TMPG.
