Type 2 DV is only supported in tmpgenc so useing a type 1 dvd codec won"t help.You should try raiseing the priority of the "openDML" file reader in the "vfapi plugins" this might get your file read properly, What type of errors are you getting ,are they system errors or errors in tmpgenc?certain errors in tmpgenc are caused by certain things so maybe leaveing the type off error you get might help someone help you find out what the problem is...
I have same problem, error -272762914 859034592.
Have tried all kind of things, nothing works. Have downloaded the last TMPGEnc, 19. Juli, trial version, and still no solution.
I have TMPG load without the wizard. The stream types are all greyed out and also when I click on SETTINGS I can't change the stream type or any options having to do with the one it is set to. I have some video without audio that I want to encode but I can not select just the video stream type.
Hello I have downloaded several movies that seem to contain no audio. I've tried several things but can't figure out what I should do to extract the audio.
Most probaly Ac3 audio is contained in these files. You need to install DVD player software or an Ac3 filter to play these files.
To extract download Virtualdub_ac3 and extract to a wav.
after encoding picture is not smooth i have tried changing number of i p &b pictures in gop, motion search to highest quality interlace to de-interlace bottom field to top field i even thought it might be a windows xp problem so i loaded win 98 again but it didnt help are their any filters that will fix this any suggestions would help
the frane rate is 25fps for vcd and the video studders but the sound is perfect the movie seems to pause once every 2 seconds or so but only for about an eighth of a second. i have done other vcd conversions that have come out perfect and i cant work out why these ones dont. i was using win 98 then but ive tried that and it still didnt work. last time i used the vcd guide from flexion.org and they worked perfectly. i think i used a donald grafton filter and i dont know if that was why
Can someone please explain just what frameserving is used for ?
I have looked at articles on vcdhelp.com and trawled newsgroups but they mainly deal with HOW to framserve , not why ?
As I understand it, it is used when ripping from DVD and frameserving directly to TMPGenc.
I only ever take divx fils and convert to XVCD, would I use frameserving ... why ?
Frameserving is basically a way of fooling software, such as TMPGEnc into thinking it's encoding an AVI file, rather than (a portion of) the origional mpeg. This is because some software is only designed to read specific files - Virtual Dub, for instance won't read mpeg 2 files, but if you frameserve using DVD2AVI it will.
The only other alternative would be to create an actual AVI, which for best quality, would be absolutely huge.
Frameserving basically uses another piece of software to enable another piece of software to read files it wouldn't normally be able to read.
For example TMPG can not natively read VOBS but it can read project files which DVD2AVI creates and DVD2AVI can read VOBS.
What this means is there is no intermediary encoding step which will result in quality loss. All DVD2AVI does is decode the information in the VOBS and then sends it to TMPG in a format it can read.
This saves time and quality as you are no longer producing an AVI from the VOBS and then encoding that.
You are more or less encoding the VOBS directly through DVD2AVI.
No not really. It would only be relevant to you if you wanted to use a program such as Virtualdub to edit your AVI and then encode it to MPEG. Rather than edit then re-encode to Avi it makes more sense to edit with virtualdub and apply it's filters and then frameserve the file to TMPG.
I thought frameserving VirtualDub to TMPG was very cool until I decided to always use 2-pass VBR with the awesome, but very slow, "High Quality Smoother" filter in VirtualDub. (This is mainly for short clips.)
The performance hit of processing the video twice is so severe it pays to save an intermediate AVI. Luckily, I splurged for 320GB 4-way ATA Raid storage. Huffyuv compression is excellent for this.
So here is what we REALLY need. TMPGEnc should directly support VirtualDub filters plugins and allow different filters to be applied on first and second pass.
NEED HELP!
WHEN TRYING TO CONVERT AVI. FILE TO Mpeg. I KEEP GETTIN THIS MESSEAGE P3Package.dll what do i need to fix this. I tried reloading TMPG AND IT STILL WOULD NOT WORK
Download TMPG again. If that doesn't work you need to use a different extraction program to extract the files as the one you are using is corrupting the files.
I normally use TMPGE for encoding TV programs to XVCD which it does great.
Today I tried to encode one in SVCD with version 2.56. It encodes fine until it gets to the 1Gig portion of the AVI but after that the rest of the encode is black picture and no sound.
The source files is PAL 704 x 576. <2Gig in lenght. Created with MSPRO 6.51 and Morgan 3 codec. The AVI plays fine for the full 2 Gigs.
I also tried encoding it with an old copy of 12a that I found but the same results.
Is there some setting for this . I didn't think that there was any source files size limitation.
There isn"t a 1gb limit for files in tmpgenc so I have no idea why it is stopping at 1gb so the only thing I can think of is maybe there is something wrong with your avi file cuz I have encoded 4gb files to svcd with no problem but if you keep haveing problems try frame serveing from virtual dub and if it stops at 1gb while frame serveing then you know that there is something wrong with your file, you can also try setting the begining and end points of your file with the "source range" and see if it reads the file.....
I had a similar problem ... did some poking about and found out that the DVD2AVI program I had was missing a file ... make sure you have the file DVD2AVI.vfp in the folder with DVD2AVI and from what I've read you also need to copy that file into the TMPGen folder as well.
I had the same problem. And looked everywhere for the answer. The only info I received from this forum was from ASHY who tells everyone to look on the page (and I looked thru several pages and found that a lot of us had this problem but couldn't get a straight answer from ASHY) Anyway. I found the answer by spending many hours looking. . . hope this helps.
This article addresses the issue. You must have TMPG12a. You have a later version and it won't support VCD's. You can download TMPG12A from the following address:
Well Pamela you obviously did not check back to your original post, as I did answer your question there.
Also the solution to the problem is not using TMPG12a and is easily solved with ANY version.
Check back to your original post and you will find the answer waiting for you.
Then I used TMPGEnc to create an MPG file (SVCD) using output of DVD2AVI and this worked fine. Then when I tried to use MERGE and CUT, TMPGEnc gave an error message that it had an internal problem and had to shutdown. Other features of TMPGEnc appear to work fine (at least those that I use).
I de-installed WinDVD (because things worked before I installed it) and then TMPGEnc Merge and Cut gave the error message that it could not open DIRECTSHOW.
I then used Windows XP's System Restore to restore to an earlier date (I think it restores system files and the registry) and then TMPGEnc Merge and Cut ran fine.
I searched the registry for DIRECTSHOW and there are many entries. It apparently has something to do with audio.
Anyone have ideas on how to install WinDVD and still be able to use TMPGEnc Merge and Cut? The rest of TMPGEnc seems to work with WinDVD installed.
