Im having problems when encoding! Im encoding avi to mpg layer1 files but alot of the time when the encoding gets to about 50% the video freezes but the audio continues. When i burn it to disc as a VCD it plays fine but when it gets to 50% the video stays still and the audio still encodes. Does ny1 know whats causing this and how i can correct it? thanks in advance

There could be an error in the Source file at the Place were it stops encodeing, You can try encodeing again a few frames after were it stopped encodeing and Join the 2 parts together with the "Merge & Cut"..If you are encodeing a Movie you Downloaded off the Net then that is Probably the Problem Cuz Many Files have errors in them after they have been downloaded a Few times...

I have a file 4.02 gig's TMPG can see the file from start to finish but when you snip the file to edit the clock can only see 40 minute's of video and I can not edit more then 40 minute's any help thank's

I an encoding an .avi XVID file.
It works fine up until around frame
23000 (out of 87000), then although I
do NOT get an error message with TMPGE,
it appears to continue but the video just
sits there. In other words, the video stops
getting encoded, although it shows that TMPGE is
actually running through the frames, however in the
end only the sound continues in the mpeg file.
The original .avi seems fine.
Anybody know what this could be?
Thanks!

There is Probably an error In the AVI File were it stops encodeing...There isn"T much you can do about it Accept Maybe you can Try to frameserve the File to Tmpgenc with Something Like "Virtual Dub"...Or you can use the Source Range in the Advanced Settings to Start encodeing again a few frames after were it stopped encodeing then Join the 2 parts together with the "Merge & Cut"....

I want to know if there is any possible way i can convert my VHS to VCD format and if so how. Please reply to me quickly.
Thank You.

you need a capture card to capture the video to a format such as AVI then use TMPG to encode.

Just wanna ask 2 questions:first,when i am changing a movie ,avi to mpeg,it

always takes 1h20min+,well is it possible to stop the decoding and resume

later.And second question:whats inverse telecine???Is it important?what is it?

HI,i've recorded my avi to mpeg's then i've recorded them in a CD as vcd's.

But the thing is,when i play it in my dvd player it does work but when i press

rewind or forward the sound goes off but the video is still on.So the only way

i can see my movies properly is that i look at them from the beggining at the

end.So can anyone help me on this problem.I would really appreciet that.

Thanks to helpful partipiciants of this forum I'm managed to overcome most problems.

This theme seems to have been discussed earlier here but still I couldn't find any covering overview.
I hope it is the last issue wich I'm facing with my clips, extracted from several different video titles there are some which TPMGenc multiplexer reports that there is buffer underflow of xxx s packets.

Do I can repair this somehow?

Let say there is usually a clip of 5-10 minutes at bitrate 5000 and the amount of named underflow buffers s packets is 150 000. Audio has been mp2, which I have converted from ac3 streams. But I cheked also the video stream alone, without any audio and still there was the same amount (minus 2000-3000). I have compared also to normal pure video streams and there is still 0, when muxed without audio. Seems rather many, while usually there has been less, 10-15 s packets if any. As amount differs more then 10000x it's weird. These clips play elswhere normally.

TIA

should i hear the audio during the preview? it doesn't and i'm wondering if there is a problem.

No

is there a downloadable pocket pc template for tmpgenc?

I take it you mean when encoding, if so then no.

No he is referring to the preview and no there isn't any sound when using it.

How to urge TMPGenc to support video streams which are slightly erratic somehow but software and DVD settop players still play without any problem these.
How to improve TMPGenc tolerance?

My problems started from the fact that I used year ago Chopper named DVD video cutter which corrupted every 2nd DVD clip file on a way that now Tmpgenc nor Vobedit can't split a video stream what Tmpgenc could multiplex later with audio. My goal is mostly to clean vob clips and multiplex again for burning onto dvdr.

Both origianl vob and splitted m2v play with software palyers and on setop player - but for TMPGenc these video streams are nothing ...

Help appreciated!
TIA

I have encoded a few xvid movies with
TMPGE by simply changing the enviromental
settings as follows:
Directshow ....3
AVI2.........1
BMP....-2
TMPGE Project...-2
all others....0

It worked for the first half of my movie
but when I do the same for the second
it stops after about 20 minutes with an
error message.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
