The "p3p package.dll" optimizes tmpgenc for pentium 3 cpu"s, to get rid of the error go into your "tmpgenc" folder and copy and paste the "p3p package.dll" into your "system and system32" folders....then it will work....
i have a movie that i have completely in mpg format, and everything is going great. however, now i have been able to split the file, but it will never finish splitting the second half. so, i have cd1, but cd2 locks up after it finishes the second part after clicking on run to split the second half. any suggestions?
The only suggesting that actually works when this type of error happens in the mpeg tools is to use something different, get a different mpeg editor cuz the mpeg tools are constantly haveing problems, the only free one I can think of actually isnt a mpeg editor but you can use it that way,"bbmpeg" has a multiplexor that will split the output file at what ever size you want so first you would de-multiplex your mpeg then load each file into the multiplexor in bbmpeg and make the spliting size say 800mb then it will multiplex your file and out put it in 800mb parts....seems like a hassle to do it this way but it is better than nothing....
thanks for the advice! i just starting to learn how to do all this, and its becoming more of a pain than what ive heard. oh well, thanks for your help :-)
Yep, I cant cut past like 3810 seconds when i rip, my mpegs are GREAT! but i cant cut cuz it its always messing up! i reformatted put nothing ON! NO DRIVERS and it still messes up, wow ok i will try a different cutter i guess.
Encodeing movies can be a bit frustrateing cuz rarely is there a time when every thing goes right but I guess that is the challange and what makes it rewarding, ....
Hello, is there a way to delay the audio about 2 seconds. I need to make the audio and video sync and they are 2 seconds apart. I want to be able to start the video encoding and then have the audio start encoding about 2 seconds after. Any Suggestions? Thank you.
Is it your mpeg file that is out of sync or your avi file? either way just encode like normal then de-multiplex you mpeg file and get "bbmpeg" or "mpeg2vcr" and they have multiplexors that let you offset the audio or video when multiplexing to correct sync problems...
In a way but not with "tmpgenc" I hope you aren"t useing mp3 files for audio in your vcd"s or svcd"s cuz they will not play on most dvd player cuz they are not part of the vcd or svcd standard but if you just want to know for other reasons you can use "cool edit" or "sound forge" or "goldwave" but I think you will have to decode your mp3"s into wav files then edit them then output them as mp3"s or output them as wav then encode back to mp3, It is difficult to edit compressed files be it mp3 or mpeg files unless they are uncompressed that is why you might have to convert your mp3 to wav to edit them then encode them back to mp3..you can find a few good audio editors on kaaza for download...
I finally converted an avi to an mpg and I uninstalled Angel Potion Codec and the movie came out great, instead of all the purple pixels. However, now the problem exists in burning it as a VCD. I have Nero Express and it gives the option of making VCDs, which I chose to do. I have a 700MB CD and the movie is 637MB, and is about 86 min. in length, and 640x272 resolution. I chose the ".mcf" file from KVCD that lets you burn a 120 min. movie onto 1 CD at 704x480 resolution, but now I noticed that Nero won't let me burn it because the length is too long, I guess. I know this because the bar on the bottom which shows how much space is left turns red after 80 minutes and it's past that. The data side of it is less than 700MBs, but the length of the movie is 86 minutes. It was doing that when it was in avi format too, so now I'm thinking whether or not it was worth the 3 hours to encode it into an mpg because I might as well have just left it as an avi if I knew it would give me the same problem as the mpg file. I thought maybe MPEGCutter would cut the file into 2 parts so that I can burn it on 2 CDs instead--maybe even add chapters so that when I play it on my DVD player, then it would be as if it were off the real DVD, where I can hit the skip button and it would go to the next chapter. But I couldn't even figure out how to use the program. Please give me some advise on all these problems. I was having a big problem where all the movies I tried were taking 24-26 hours to encode, but all of a sudden something happened and it only takes 2-3 hours. I guess maybe uninstalling Angel Potion Codec helped. Also, if you know of a free program that lets you make chapters out of the mpg file, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know. Also, I was given advise that I should go into TMPGEnc and use the Merge function and have it rewrite the header because that may have been the problem in burning the movie. So I did this and I went back and added the file into Nero's VCD creator and the bar on the bottom went red again after 80 minutes, signaling that the file is too big for the CD. It encodes the file, but then it spits the CD out again before burning it. I tried burning it last night and it encoded the mpg file for about a couple of hours it spit the CD out saying that there was not enough space on the medium for the size of the file and I should insert a larger medium or something like that. Please help. Thanks.
How much to big is it cuz if it is less than say 10-15mb you can use the "overburn" option in Nero this will let you burn more than the disk says it holds..anyway I"m glad that you got your computer working at a good speed again ,I knew that getting rid of that codec would solve your problems cuz it is a notoriusly bad codec and can cause a whole host of problems.As for doing chapters I know there are lots of authoring programs that let you do chapters like "dvdit" and "ulead dvd workshop", the encoder I use for mpeg2 lets me do the chapters in the settings before I encode and the encoded mpeg file has the chapters allready in it, but maybe this will be a feature in tmpgenc in the future (i hope).......anyway take care
Hi guys I was just wondering if anyone knows how to fix this problem,I downloaded the new 2.55 trial version and as soon as I open the program I get the evil "The 30 day Mpeg2 trial Has Expired" thirty days , hell it hasn"t been 30 seconds yet, so I tried to edit my registry to get rid of any mention of tmpgenc and I thought I got every thing but I still get the error.Does anyone know how to fix this problem, it"s kinda hard to help out on the BBS if I can"t Keep up with the new versions, I know I might be able to fix it if I set back the date on my computer but I don"t want to go to that much of an extreme if I don"t have to........Thanx Guys......
If you "fix" that, I think you infringes MPEG-2 patent licnese or license agreement of TMPGEnc. I do not think it is good idea to mention about registry etc. at all. Plus, if you have TMPGEnc Plus, you do not need TMPGEnc.
Trust me If they didn"t like what I said they would have deleted the post, I don"t want to install the 2.55 version over the 2.54 version until I know that I will like it better than the 2,54 , like the 2.53 129 was better than the 2.53 130 so I didn"t install it, so I want to see if the 2.55 is better than the 2.54...I does not infringe on copyrights if I havent used the 30 day trial..so an answer would to my problem would be good not your misinformed criticism...
This would probably be my last post on this topic.
"TMPGEnc Plus" does not have installer, and people can try different version on same PC, Now I am using 2.54a and 2.55 in one PC, and I do not see any problems because of those 2 different versions.
I am not making an issue of what Minion is asking, but HOW Minion is asking...
OK now, let's wait and see how this topic goes. sherlock!
You still haven"t solved my problem,It still exists, I guess you didn"t understand my question,the one time I ask a question and all I get is problems,and by the way I"m not irish so don"t call me shamrock...
Hi All,
I want to know why I get a black preview screen when I try to convert
from AVI(Divx) or sometimes from MPEG to a VCD ,& the converted movie
is only an Audio file with a black screen!?!!? Could you please help me to solve the problem ?
My O/S is winXP > could it be the problem ?
waiting for your replies :)
First make sure you have all the proper codecs installed on your machine, and make sure that your "direct show "vfapi plugin is at a priority of "2", hopefully this will get the file to be encoded....
Every time I try to convert .avi file to .mpg file I get the error message Can't load P3Package.dlll Please let me know what is wrong or if I should have a specific codec. Thanks in advance.
I ripped a dvd with smart ripper and used dvd2avi then used tmpg to encode it as mpeg1 for a vcd. Frame rate was set at 23.976 fps and frame type was interlaced. Forced film was also on. I used the template (videocd ntscfilm.mcf) to encode. I used Nero to burn the video cd. The cd plays fine in my computer, 700 mghz running windows ME. Using Power Dvd to view the vcd. But when I put in my home Dvd player which is an Apex Ad-660 I get glitches in the first 5 minutes of the movie then it's fine for a while and then the movie looks like it's fast fowarding and then audio is out of synch then it starts playing fine again with audio back in synch.Could it be the nero software? My dvd is supposed to play mp3, cd-r and cd-rw ? anyone else have this problem?
This is a common problem with "tmpgenc" encodes, and have noticed that if you encode with your vbv buffer at a lower setting like 60, and you burn your disks at a lower speed like as slow as you can burn this might solve your problem .It has worked in the past with my system....
What program did you use to convert the wav.
The sounds you are talking about usually come from converting the sample rate using TMPG, but as you already have a 44.1khz wav it must be the software you used to create the wav.
If it was Virtualdub you used to create the wav then next time make sure you check the high quality box before you convert to a wav and this should solve your prob.
SSRC is a very high quality program for converting between different smaple frequencies, so it might help you of your audio sounds metalic... I use it through a program called Besweet that convers AC3 audio to regular stereo wave.
There should be a stand alone version somehwre but haven't found it yet...
when I create MGP file with Studio DV sound is also ok, but then video isn't good.
Downloaded Toolame Ashy placed it in environmental setting but no difference (until know)
That is what I have done now, but what a wast of time (o:
The TMPGeng encoded MPG2 sound seems normal but when you listen good is is like someone is talking into a (tinned)can (If you know what I mean, I am dutch)
Try encodeing the audio with a different audio encoder and just encode the video with tmpgenc, I use "db power amp" with the mp2 codec to encode audio for mpeg files then multiplex them together...
I was just encoding a m2v clip (from original 5Mbps to 15Mbps, so I can combine with another clip that is 15Mbps), and noticed something odd. When I encode the picture becomes brighter! If the original clip for example has avrage brightness of 39, the reencoded clip's brightness is 58! If I reencode again it gets as high as 76! I tried using the "Output as YUV" option so the resolt was 45, but then the brighter areas where brightned so there were complete areas of pure white...
Thought of using basic color correction, but then I would loose parts of the image that are dark! Anyone has any solution? I haven't noticed it before, maybe it's a bug? Anyone saw this effect on other programs?
(Note: When I use TMPGE to output as the m2v as AVI, there is no additional brightning.)
Tried changing this setting but there is still brightness problem created. I can upload captures from the encoded files to my site and direct you there so you can so if you are interestead...
BTW, it seems like a TMPGenc bug because I tried encoding useing LSX encoder and although overall quality wasn't as good as in TMPG, there wasn't any extra brightness...
I'd copy quicktime reader in tmpg folder and I tried to convert a .mov file in a mpg file, but I could not hear anything after the process. Please help me..
I just wondered how big 700mb avi/divx will become when i code it to mpg.(vcd)?
i ask this becouse my harddrive is so full stuff so i have to burn something out there but how mutch?
It depends on the length of the movie not the size of the source AVI.
A regular movie is usually over a Gigabyte. Standard VCD takes up 10mb/min, so a 100 min movie would be around a Gig.
