I've encoded several PAL DVD's now but my latest one has a slight problem.
Encoded with VBR4000 and authured with Ulead MF.
After adding chapters and burning the DVD. Some of the chapter thumb neils do not correspond to the actual position i.e.if you click on a thumb neil, it will take you abaout a minute before that chapter actually starts.The DVD is 124min with 9 chapters with 3 chapters showing a minute error.
Any ideas on how to fix this. I hope it's not a TMPGEnc problem but down to MF problem as I don't want to encode this DVD again as it took 23 hours.
Well if the mpeg file was fine before you used "ulead" then it is a problem with "ulead" I don"t know if this is your problem but sometimes when ripping a dvd the chapters of the dvd get extracted in the wrong order so check the vob files(if you are copying a dvd)and see if the chapters are in the right order..
Thanks for the input but no I wasn't ripping a DVD. What I was doing, was capturing a video 8 tape to avi via Pinnacle Studio 7,encoding with TMPGNec and then author & burn with Movie Factory. After selecting the chapter thunbnails in MF, all seems well. i.e click on the thunbnail and the video position is correct. So I burn the DVD with MF (have also burned with Easy cd creator) and when you play it in the DVD player that's when you see that some of the thunbnails are out by a minute or two.
I have seen some threads on the Pinnacle forum about time codes having to be corrected but that was in connection with DV tapes.
Hi
Like you I use TMPGEnc with MF to burn my own DVD+RW from my Digital 8 Material. I experienced the same problem with the chapters being out when played on a DVD player, yet within MF it seemed to work fine. My fix was to play the coded MPEG2 file in Media Player or similiar locate the chapter points I wanted and note the timecode at each chapter point from within media player. Then back into MF and enter these timecodes for the chapter points required. MF has completley the wrong thumbnails, but ignore that. Burn the DVD and bingo you'll find all your chapter timings are perfect.
From this I concluded it's a bug Ulead Movie Factory and wondered if it's something to do with handling various GOP structures as it will only put chapter points on the I frames and the dafault GOP within TMPGEnc is variable, but that's a guess and probably wrong !
Hope it works for you.

Noboby know"s why the mpeg tools have so many bugs in them and all you can really do about it is to use a different mpeg editor, if you are doing mpeg1/vcd there is a freeware program called "vcd cutter" that will edit your mpeg1 files.
Hello, Im having an strange problem. I encoded a file using TMPGEnc V2.56 and everything works good except, about 5 minuets into the video the sound quits. Not a single peep for the rest of the file. Please let me know what other data I can provide to assist in any way, and thankyou for your time in advance.
If you use audio fromats that are not fully supported in tmpgenc you get no sound or cutting out sound,Tmpgenc seems to have problems encodeing compressed audio sources like mp3, mp2,ac3 ect, wav format is the best to encode so what you do is extract the audio to a wav file with virtualdub and use that as your audio source in tmpgenc,and don"t view your mpeg files with media player cuz it can play you mpeg files with audio cutting out and or out of sync, use dvd playing software like power dvd.
Ok, I have the similar problem , but not sure is it TMPGenc os DVD software.
My audio disappear in the end of movie, for example if the movie 1 min - after 40 sec,if the movie 3 min - after 2 min. I though that the problem with TMPGenc,because I adding some MP3 music in Pinnacle Studio 7 for editing. So,the problem just on my DVD. But if I checking my mpg file on hard disk before burning I have audio without problem. So, I'm not sure it's Tmpgenc's problem.

i load a film that should be for example 68 minutes. when i go through the project wizard the program reports that the film is some stupid size such as 235 minutes in length
if i try to play clever and and input the begining and end of the film in the source range option when i click to start encoding i get an error message -537403781 263648.
if i click on ok the message keeps repeating on the screen and TMPGenc won't proceed.
hope someone can help me with this as i am new to all this and totally stuck
It seems that there is something wrong with the header information in your avi file, this is common with files downloaded off the net,and to my knowlege there isn"t much you can do about it you can try to make a copy of the file with virtual dub or frames serve the file with virtual dub but if the header info is dammaged then virtual dub might not read it correctly either but you can try...
excuse my english
when i convert avi to mpeg . after six or seven minutes this message arrive
"read error occured at address 0047310c of module tmpgenc.exe with 12618a8f"
please help me ?
thank you
Hi, when I utilise merge and cut I have an error 0x80040200 directshow.
In VFAPI plug in, DirectShow Multimedia File Reader is priority -1.
I use tmpgenc 2.56
Please, help me.
I have no idea why you are getting this error but I know that there are a lot of bugs in the "Mpeg Tools" and if you get errors while useing them there isn"t much you can do to get rid of the error that is why it is good to have a backup editor and multiplexor in case the ones in tmpgenc fail an I have noticed that it happens more often than not.....
I am just so excited about learning all this new great stuff. I was just wondering. What settings would I use to get the maximum picture quality for a VCD. So far my computer has encoded everything I have given it in real time so it seems to have plenty of power. I am just trying to understand all the settings. Thanks again.
Use avisynth with the CopyDuplicates function of the IVTC plugin
(ivtc.dll)to frameserve your video to the encoder.If two frames
next to each other are very similar,this will help to reduce noise
by replacing the second frame by the first one and helps saving bitrate.
If you intent to play back the video on a TV you need to intelace as TV works by displaying two fields which are interlaced. If on the other hand you wish to play back only on the PC use need to deinterlace as the PC monitor only displays no interlace video, interlaced video looks torn on the screen as fast moving pictures containing the two fields are displaced on the screen.
More questions on the same project. The higher bit rate worked nice. But the titles screens (white text on a black background) flicker a bit. Is there any way to clean that up?
That could be caused by the source being "Interlaced" or it could be "Block Noise" or turning up the "motion precition Search" to the slow or slowest setting might help....
It seems that there's a problem with the AVI export of TMPEGEnc, the volume is much lower on the AVI's than the source files. No AUDIO EDITING was perfomed (ie, normalize and etc)..
TMPEGEnc Version is 2.56
Using other programs, the audio is exported at the correct volume..
