My avi has very high quality picture but then i convert it to mpeg and some of the picture is mess up. Is there a way to improve the picture?


Messa  2003-01-03 21:37:34 ( ID:hxjbfoabs7h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am guessing here without further info, but I would bet that it is purely down to bitrate and resolution. The original file, if 'uncompressed' would probably be 2-3 times the size of the VCD mpeg you are making, therefore you must expect 1/3 of the quality.
post more information if u can, as i might be missing the point.

If you are Makeing a VCD then you have to Realize that VCD is not a Very Good Quality format Cuz of it"s Low resolution and Low Bitrate...You might try raiseing the bitrate, but then you will get less Movie on a CD-R..Or make a SVCD.....



Question - TE25 - Media player 9.x on win98 No.32806
Dom  2003-01-03 18:30:49 ( ID:ujv2ebjxawc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am having problems ever since installing win media player 9.1 TMPGEnc performs an illigal opperation and stack dumps as soon as I set it to start encoding.

Any one got any ideas ?


Minion  2003-01-04 06:16:37 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

YES I have an Idea, Get rid of Media Player 9, it is well Known that Media Player 9 Causes Major Problems..You might have to do a system Restore to get back the older version...

can you tell me why I don't get sound on some movies after I convert


Recur  2003-01-04 00:36:27 ( ID:xbhttpu4ox2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Your sound is probably compressed in the .avi file. Open the file with virtualDub and select video-direct stream copy & audio-full compression mode. Then in audio you select compression - no compression(PCM). Then file-save avi. Now virtualDub saves a new avi with uncompressed audio. This avi-file can now be converted using tmpg-enc.


Minion  2003-01-04 06:14:18 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

NO NO NO......The reason Why you aren"t getting any audio is Because the audio format is not supported In Tmpgenc or you don"t have the correct Audio codecs installed...Download Virtual Dub, then load the AVI file into it then go to "File" to "Save as WAV" now it will extract the audio in WAV format, now just load the wav file in tmpgenc as the audio source...

Jamie  2003-01-03 16:17:38 ( ID:jjuoli2e8m. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi I want to make a DVD film , So I start up TMPGEnc use DVD-Pal wizard

put my file into it TO1P00.dv2 & T01P00 AC3 T01 3_2ch 384Kbps 48KHz

after it encodes it it gives me a TO1P00.mpg

what do I do with the MPG file ? I have a copy of SpruceUp DVD Authoring

sorry for being a newbie but I havent done this before


debgk  2003-01-03 16:31:23 ( ID:hjgj.qs2fwa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

I'm new at this, too -- I used the LE version of Dvdit from Sonic to make my first DVD this past weekend. It was neat!

Having said that, I can tell you that MPG is the type of file you need to make the DVD -- really, though, there are several types of MPG -- you need MPG2 for a DVD. I think TMPGenc may only output to MPG1 (which you can make a VCD and also I think a SVCD with).

I have read that the paid version of TMPGenc (which encodes to the MPG2 format) is inexpensive and worth it, so you may want to invest in that.

You can also check out other low-end/freeware encoders. A great resource for this and maybe also a place to get a better answer for you question is www.vcdhelp.com

Happy New Year and have fun!

Try Nero for burning, here is a link to the help page for DVD's......

http://www.nero.com/en/index.html#c1034060208899

Haven't got a DVD burner so cant help further sorry.



Minion  2003-01-04 06:10:47 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Tmpgenc Encodes Mpeg1 and 2 and SVCD and DVD are Mpeg2 and VCD is Mpeg1, Nero will Not Burn a Mpeg2 file to DVD, the Mpeg2 file has to be formated to a Video-TS Folder before Nero will Burn it...What you do is Load the Mpeg file into Spruce Up, Spruce up Might not accept the file In a Mpeg format and Might want the Video and audio loaded seperately..If this is the case you have to open Tmpgenc go to "File" to "Mpeg tools" to "Simple de-Multiplex" and Load the Mpeg file in and Click "Run", this will seperate the Mpeg file into 2 files and "M2V" video file and a "MPA" audio file....

Question - TE25 - Very low bit-rate movies for web pages No.32791
Jim Renkel  2003-01-03 09:08:30 ( ID:jxarqf2ubmj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi!

I want to be able to make short, very low bit rate MPEG movies of family, vacation, etc. for my personal web pages from AVI files imported from my DV camcorder.

In the demo version of TMPGEnc, all the parameter boxes for things like bit rate, image size, etc., that would get me to a low bit rate are greyed out.

Is this because these are disabled in the free demo version? Or are these just information display fields and they can't be set even if I paid for the non-demo version?

I just want to know that I'll probably be able to do what I want before I spend the money on the non-demo version.

The demo version worked just great to produce large, high bit rate MPEG movies, and I will probably spend the money for the non-demo version if I can be assured it will do what I want.

Thanks in advance,

Jim Renkel

And there is a Bug in the Newest version that will not allow you to Lower the Bitrate lower than the VCD Standard when Encodeing VCD"s....



Question - TE25 - AVI Issues No.32788
mdlaycock  2003-01-03 05:15:52 ( ID:s8q5py4cgxh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I tried usin the software on an older machine sonverting AVI files. It was working fine but taking forever. So I installed the software and gave it a run on a faster Machine and it refuses to load the same avi files?

The only funny thing that I have noticed is that the other machine has an older version of windows media player and can view/play the avi files, the new machine has the newest version Of windows media player with eth latest Codecs and still can't play the AVI files.
Does this have anu bearing?

Can you shed some light on this.

Both Machine are on windows 2000 server sp3



lupy  2003-01-03 11:27:02 ( ID:o10nietw26a )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

try option/environmental settings/VFAPI tab and raise the priority of the direct show multimedia file reader....


Minion  2003-01-04 05:59:51 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If you Have Media Player 9 get rid of it cuz it will cause Major problems with Codecs and File decodeing...Doing as Lupy said will usually help with Files that will not load into tmpgenc....

Hi,
currently whenever i am encoding avi to mpeg-1 I get the error ''Read error occured at address XXXXXXX of module 'TMPGEnc.exe' with XXXXXXX' at some point during the process, which causes my encoding to stop and the need to start from the beginning again. I am not sure how to fix this and was hoping that someone may be able to explain what i am doing wrong and how to prevent it...thanks in advance



Question - TE25 - What is analyzing? No.32783
Sakuya  2003-01-03 03:07:30 ( ID:ma8lfwhzhl2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello, I noticed some tutorials at VCDhelp.com used TMPGEnc's Project Wizard so I followed step by step. When I clicked on Start to start encoding, in the middle of the screen says "Analyzing". What does that mean? The numbers to the right of the blue progress bar at the top says 0/----- (of course the - means numbers). Does that mean it's only testing?! Because I have just spent about 5 hours "analyzing"...how can I prevent analyzing?


Steve O  2003-01-03 03:13:04 ( ID:nkutuac2lil )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

2 pass VBR, right?

Analyzing means that it's going through the first pass to see where it should apply the highest bitrates to achieve the average bitrate you asked for. When it's gone through one pass, it'll do it again for real and the analyzing tag will go away.


Billy  2003-01-03 04:25:31 ( ID:ma8lfwhzhl2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks, no wonder it takes so long! But what's the difference between CBR and 2-pass?


Minion  2003-01-04 05:57:26 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

CBR is "Constant Bit Rate" Maning that the Bitrate stays the same through the whole File...2-Pass is a VBR method Meaning "Variable Bit Rate" it analizes the file in the First Pass to determine when the Bitrate should be used to Produce the best quality while trying to Achive the average bitrate that you set in the Bitrate settings...2-Pass is Usually the Best quality setting But Not really with Tmpgenc, you can get Just as Good Quality in most cases useing the "CQ"(Constant Quality) setting, which is a Type of VBR setting But it is Difficult to Predict the Final File size...



Question - TE25 - Help with inverse telecine auto "deinterlace set threshold" No.32781
Steve O  2003-01-03 02:42:15 ( ID:nkutuac2lil )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm capturing some of my laserdiscs to burn to svcd. In messing with Raiders of the Lost Ark, I've come across a problem that seems to be a deinterlacing / inverse telecine artifact. On some scenes where there is alot of heavy horizontal lines, the video goes crazy for a few seconds then settles out. A good frame looks like this:

http://www.downtowncomputing.com/good_frame_01.jpg

Note the windows, particularly the cross pieces (muntins is the technical term I'm told).

Now look at a couple of bad frames:

http://www.downtowncomputing.com/bad_frame_01.jpg
http://www.downtowncomputing.com/bad_frame_02.jpg

Note again the windows and also the new jaggies on the desks and other straight edges. It looks nasty when playing the video in real time. It jumps in and out between good and bad.

The original .avi files (captured with VirtualDub using Huffyuv v2.1.1 compression at 640x480) show no signs of problems.

I've found that I can eliminate the problem by changing an Inverse Telecine setting. Under Setting, Advanced, Inverse Telecine, Auto-Setting, the default "deinterlace set threshold" is 300 for deinterlace method of Even-Odd field (field). If I change it to 400, everything seems OK.

Any idea what's going on and why changing that setting seemed to fix the problem? Will changing that cause me any problems down the road?

Thanks,
Steve

These Artifacts should Only appear on your Computer Monitor Cuz The Monitor displays a Progressive Image so it doesn"t Display Interlaced Material Properly..it should Look fine on your TV ...Or you can Just use a De-Interlace Filter..You can"t use "Inverce Telicline" On NTSC Materal...Inverce Telicline Will only work Properly on Material that has Been Previously Teliclined From A Progressive Film Source...
