Hey, all. I'm curious about something... I read that TMPGEnc can encode to DivX. But when I did output to file to AVI, it didn't list the DivX compression. How can I get that? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
You are probably using an older vesion. In these versions the there is a bug. The codec buttons are hidden. You can just see the oulines of the buttons at the far right. If you download the new version this has been fixed.
YES TMPGenc works great for DIVX. :o)
In order to select the codec:
1>Ensure the Codec is loaded to your OS you can get it from WWW.DIVX.com
A. Go to your Sound and audio devices under control panel>Hardware Tab>Video Codecs>properties you should see the codec here.
B. If no codec was present go to add/remove and remove Divx. Then re-install Divx (Cross Your fingers and check again)
2>Launch TMPGenc>Load the source>File>Output to File>AVI file>Setting (Next to Video)>Compression Drop Down>Select Divx>Setting and adjust to your liking.
I said in B. (Cross Your fingers and check again) because 5 months back I couldnÃÕ get my DIVX to re-install properly not a normal issue but it seems my systems registry got screwed up by a Trojan I picked up off the net. Damn Hackers. So the only way I could get all my video codecs to work again was to Wipe windows and reinstall. No big deal for me since I keep all my data safe on separate Hard drive.~NewtronX
Yeah.. Ashy has a good point about the Codec buttons not being visible in the older versions. They recently fixed that a few versions back thank fully.
I assumed in my other post you saw other codec's to chose from but Divx wasnt a option Since you said "it didn't list the DivX compression"
I use TMPGenc to make DVD's into DIVX's all the time.~NewtronX
Hey guys, long time reader first time typer I am converting AVI to Mpeg using TMPG Enc then burning to disk (mpeg to VCD) using Nero >> when I play the CD on a DVD everything looks great even the sound. Exept periodically during the movie the sound get a little behing the video this may happen 2 or 3 times during a movie and only last for about 2 to 3 minutes. I know its not that big of deal but becomes very annoying after doing 76 movies this way.
Basically my Audio and Video are not running at the same time I really notice it when they talk there mouth is moving and the sound is about 3-4 seconds behind......... Please Help.
I just started encoding and am experiencing the same problem but a lot more frequently.. After about 3 minutes the sound and video is out of sync and the they seem to correct. This process repeats itself throughout the entire video. I haven't found an answer yet but I agree it is very annoying.
I am encoding with seperate AVI and WAV source files..
While encoding in CQ mode, the following error is displayed: "Write Error occurred at Address (number) of module tmpgenc.exe with (number).
Sometimes it comes 100 minutes into a 120 minute AVI file, other times it comes 30 minutes into the AVI. It is pretty unpredictable, and needless to say, it is extremely frustrating. The AVI is a legit type-2 file which was captured on my computer, not downloaded. In CQ mode, it was able to transcode the complete AVI the first time around. I wanted to up the quality after inspecting the output M2V. The second and third time it bombed out. This is a pretty big problem. Does anyone really have a clue as to what could be causing it? Could it be a combination of the motherboard, processor, or memory being used? Could it be a bad hard disk? Does anyone else seem to have this problem. If anyone else is getting CQ mode to work without bombing,
well possible - i get that sometimes too , also in unpredictable manner and as my bard/cpu combination (Asus V7KT266 / AMD K7) is known for causing troubles everywhere, i blamed it on that. most of the time just restart helps - or smallest changes in the source such as dropping the one frame that crashed it :)
I have tried to use this software for quite some time now but I still can't get it to work right. I want to simply convert an avi file to mpeg. I have however gotten sound now but with no video. Any suggetions would be appreciated.
You probably need to raise the "Direct Show File Reader" you do this by going to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "direct show file reader" to "2"........
I made a SVCD(PAL) from the movie "Animal" with the tools Smartripper,DVD2AVI and TMPGenc. After encoding I recognized that the .mpg file is "noisy" in the sound...I don't know how to describe it...but the .wav file that DVD2AVI created is okay. After ecoding there's something like a "shhhhhh" in the background of the sound. What's the reason fot that ? Does anybody have the same problem ? Solutions ? Perhaps the IDE-cables are "disturbed" by an electromagentic field of other hardware components ? Please help !
The source file most probably had a different sample rate than the MPEG you have encoded to. TMPG's samplerate converter isn't too good. You can download a good alternative called SCMPX which you can use as an external encoder with TMPG. You can find this under 'Options'
The other alternative is to load the source file into Virtual dub then extract the audio to a wav. Click 'audio' and change the samplerate to 44.1 khz and make sure you tick the high quality box then laod this as the audio only into TMPG and encode. You will end up with an Mp2 file. Multiplex this with your already encoded movie using the MPEGtools.
"The source file most probably had a different sample rate than the MPEG you have encoded to."
I used DVD2AVI to extract the .wav file. Then I took the .d2v file and the .wav file to encode in TMPGenc. It worked fine until I now changed the hardware in my PC. I had a Athlon 800 MHz and a Asus A7V mainboard and now I have a P4 1,6 GHz running at 2,154 GHz overclocked and a Asus P4B533-E mainboard. Perhaps it's a problem with the overclocking of the P4 ???
I'm not a crack with all these tools and I thought that TMPGenc is good, easy to use an makes very good results. The problem is that DVDx 2.0 makes the same results with the "noisy" sound. And I tried 3 different movies... what now ?
It may be your overclocking, I think that is too high for your processor unless you have some sort of extra cooling I would clock it down now before you do irrepairable damage to not only your processor, but the other components on the motherboard.
I have a 1.7 ghz processor which is O/C at 1.9 ghz and has extra cooling. I have done many tests and runs stable at this speed. Any higher and the other components on the board become to stressed and begin too fail.
If you have simply O/C your FSB then your memory is probably running at too high a speed and you may find as I did that you will get less performace at such a high O/C as the memory starts to fail and may be part of your problem.
Also your graphics card will probably be seriously overclocked now unless you have some sort of utility to underclock it back down to a more reasonable level.
It may also be that one of your overclocked components which is running to high and is thus introducing this as distortion to your file.
My advice whether overclocking your processor is the problem or not is to drop the over clock to at least below 2ghz before you damage your board or components on it.
I am using the newest version of tmpgenc to convert avi into mpeg. However, when i finally start the encryption process, the "Processins inverse telecine" is still at 1% after letting the computer run one night. I wouldn't worry, except I that I hear no "computer sounds" so to speak --> the computer isnt actually doing anything. Not only that, the the program is always very slow in responding... I have to wait... oh 10 seconds before anything happens.
Trying to FrameServe to Tmpgenc with Flask MPG and AVISynth plugin. When I try to load the video.avs file in Tmpg, I get script error there is no function "IPCSource" (c:windowsdesktopvideo.avs, line 1). Am I missing a plugin, or do I need to rewrite the avs file? Help??????
Recently I've downloaded a Divx movie that plays both audio and video perfectly in Windows media player. But when I load it into TMPGenc to convert it to MPEG-1, there is neither audio nor video in the resulting MPG file.
The AVI-file does load into TMPGenc however, and I can even start the conversion, but the output MPG file is a black screen movie without audio...
The reason the video turned out blank is probably because you needed to raise the priority if the "direct Show plugin" I have noticed that with especially Divx 5 Tmpgenc will load the file but it would not show a picture.You raise the Direct Show Plugin by going by going to "options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi plugins" and Raise the "Direct Show" to "2", and for the audio being not there that is probably because the audio is either "VBR MP3" or "AC3" and neither is supported in Tmpgenc so if it is "VBR MP3" you need to download "Virtual Dub" and use it to extract the audio to a wav file and use that as your audio source, but if it is AC3 then you will need an AC3 decoder to extract the audio to a wav file...
PS: If the video still doesn"t
then re-instell the relevant codec..
Maybe it is just this movie (.mov) but it starts converting to VCD just fine...but eventually takes forever to convert a frame. I ultimately have to kill it. The 'slowing down' happens at different parts, so it does not seem to be related to bad data...does TMPGenc search through the entire file it is writing to add the last converted frame or something? That might explain it...
Apple Quicktime .mov
30 minutes, 1.1 gig, 320 x 240, 16 bit 44khz.
Default VCD settings.
Converts fine with other codecs (but TMPGenc always has the best results!!).
