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.
i posted a page or two back about the mpeg 2 video capture i do using powervcr
and encode to vcd using tmpgenc and the audio loses sync
during encoding
i installed a fresh copy of xp over my old copy and re-installed powervcr and tried to encode my old file with tmpgenc and the audio and video synced perfectly
i think some programs i had installed messed everything up
never use ulead mediastudio 6.5
it screws up tmpgenc somehow and tmpgenc wont run unless you un-install mediastudio
i bet half the programs i try screw my programs i use alot
thats why i dont install realplayer or quicktime
anyway
i think if people are having problems with tmpgenc crashing or messed-up
take alook at the other video programs installed and un-install them
it worked for me when i had ulead installed and tmpgenc would just crash and im happy i found the culprit (dont believe me?... download the trial and tmpgenc will crash before you get to encode)
i will post an update if i discover the program messing with my mpegs and causing sync probs in tmpenc
i knew my captured mpeg2 videos were fine
before the xp re-install
tmpgenc would encode my mpeg2 videos with audio video sync problems
after xp re-install
those same mpeg2 videos now encode to vcd format using tmpgenc with dead-on sync
i found the program that causes my audio sync problems with tmpgenc
for the developers
this is my senario
i use powervcr to capture 6 hours of music videos at a time in "mpeg 2 excellant quality" setting
i used regedit to set the max recmpeg size to 4gig from 600mb
i get a couple hours of great video quality for each 4 gig
i also set the audio quality to 320kb
a 4 gig mpeg2 video is to large to edit using most editors
i found m2-edit pro to be the best mpeg2 editor for my system because i can easily find the videos i like and trim the videos to a file without altering them and it is realtime and wont crash
i just select the edit points and click trim and save as a mpeg file
this copies just the video i want without recompressing etc.. takes 30 secs
now i want my videos to be vcd and tmpgenc offers the best quality and compression i can find
my vcd's look as good as mpeg2 in my opinion
anyway
here's the problem
when i encode the cut video to mpeg1 vcd the audio and video is out of sync
and m2-edit pro is the culprit
because when i uninstalled that program
i can then encode those cut videos to vcd using tmpgenc without any audio video sync problems
im happy that i solved the problem because i can now continue to capture videos that will work fine
i hope this info may be usefull to your team and may help create a more compatible application
regardless thanks for making a great video application
I have m2-edit pro and ulead media studio 6 and 6.5, and ulead cool 3D, and dvd movie factory, and all my encodes seem fine it must be a reaction with these apps and Win XP, I run "ME".....One thing I did notice with m2-edit pro is that when I put in say a 800mb file for editing or multiplexing I end up with a 2.5gb file so I have to run it through the "merge and cut" to get all the padding taken off and it is slower than tmpgenc....
What is FitCD? I heard about this thing and it interested me because I have a big problem getting my mpg files to one CD. I have Nero Express and my file size is 636MB and I have a 700MB CD, but the length of the movie is 89 minutes. This FitCD seemed to give a calculation of the file size, I believe so that you can fit in onto one CD. Is this true?
I just doanloaded the latest version of TMPGEnc and noticed that the VFAPIConv program version 1.04 does not work with it.
Its a real bummer, because TMPGEnc crashes when decoding and encoding MPEG2 file
(I have to decode it to an AVI, then encode the AVI to keep from crashing - and yes, we have tried it on 4 different machines).
A new page has been added, with all the current templates available for download. The DVD compatibility chart has been added too.
All templates now share basically the same GOP structure and the "Andreas" Q Matrix is the default for all templates. The KDVD templates also have the "Andreas" matrix as default.
Thanks to "MrRobot" for sending me his compatibility list and for taking the time to search and read the hundreds of posts needed to compile this initial information. And to everyone who has taken the time to report compatibility issues with different DVD players.
