I have been trying DVD Author and found the folloing problem. I started of with 4 MPG-1 files. The audio in the original files is perfectly in-line with the video. After adding them into a project in DVD-Author and creating a DVD there is a gap of about 2-3 seconds between audio and video. Does anyone know what could be the problem ?
I just did my first DVD from mpegs and got the same results you did. If anyone knows what is going on here I would really like to know. All of the disks I made with dvd sources worked perfectly though.
Posted this before, but did not see a reply (yet):
I have to start 5.11 several times before application really starts up.
If it is active, it often crashes and disappears without a message...
If it finally works, it works great, encoding is fine, mpeg without error, no probs at all...
System used is P4-2600 w/ XP, 512 MB mem. 120GB hdd, NTFS.
Well It could be From Many things, What would most likely solve your Problem and what I do when I encounter Problems like this is to Re-Format your Hard drive and re-install your OS, this Usually solves all software problems, But it can take up to 6 hours to do, but it is better than Not solveing the Problem and being constantly Frustrated..I had to do this a Few days ago Cuz a Bunch of my Programs were crashing for no reason..Another thing you can try is to Use a Different version of Tmpgenc....
I'm sorry, but TMPGenc 2.5.11 is the only unstable program on my system. All other applications are working perfectly! It is a new system (two months old) and no other application has failed yet.
I won't go formatting my harddrive just because a trial version of TMPGenc does strange things, especially when I've seen other postings on this BBS reporting the same problem!
And by the way, IMHO it's a really bad advice to let someone reformat his drive if one has problems trying a new application. Just to see, after hours of installation, the problems stays!
Maybe I'll install a previous version, as this was the first time I ever tried TMPGenc.
Hey I also told you to try a Different version, It isn"t Bad advice if it solves your Problem which It Probably would have unless the Problem is within the Tmpgenc code but then EVERYONE would be haveing the same Problem(There seems to be a Crashing Problem with Multi-CPU Systems).., If Tmpgenc is Important enough to you then It would be a Good to reformat as a Last resort, what is better, to look for an answer for days and not find one and still have the Problem and not get your Video Project completed, or just reformat and then most likely fix your problem and if it doesn"t at the end of the day you haven"t lost anything..Most Tmpgenc Crashing Problems are due to System Incompatibility"s and /or conflicting codecs or just a Plain Messy System...
I have trouble in mpegging avi files coming from Adobe Premiere after I edited it and exported as Microsoft DV format. If I try to mpeg original avi file coming from camcorder capturing software I have no problem. The message tmpeg shows me is * "X:mydirmyfile.avi" can not open, or unsupported. *.
How can I fix the problem ?
Many thx to you all
The Problem is Probably that the audio format in your AVI file is Not supported in Tmpgenc, you will need to extract the audio from your AVI file to Wav format then use the Wav file as the audio source..You can Use Virtual Dub_Mod for this...
The Bigger Problem is that you can not Encode a Pal file to a NTSC File with Tmpgenc, Well you Can But the Outcome will Look terrorable, it will Seem to jump and skip Once every second when watching on your DVD Player..Tmpgenc can not Properly Convert Between Pal and NTSC..You will have to either Convert the Pal file to NTSC with a Program that can properly do it before you encode with Tmpgenc or you can Use AVISynth to do the Conversion while Frameserveing to Tmpgenc, either way you will Have to Re-encode Cuz the File you made will not be Worth Burning to DVD..The reason why it is so much Bigger could be because there Might be 2 hours of Black empty Space at the end of the 2 hours of Video, this Happens sometimes but it is easily fixed by useing the "Merge & Cut" in the "Mpeg tools" to Cut the Extra Off the end....
Yes it would be much better to render to NTSC in Vegas Video 4 first, well if the File is too big and there isn"t any extra Video at the end then the problem is that you used a Far to High Bitrate to encode..Do not trust what tmpgenc says about the predicted File size, Get your self a Bitrate calculator..
I have re-rendered from Vegas and encoded using VBR(2-pass) and set the Average to 4000, Max to 8000 and Min to 2000. The mv2 are about half the size of the previous encoding. Now I am begining to see the light! Well, I have been at it for the last 26 hours already. It's starting to be hard for me to see the difference in the output quality. Man, I hope it will turn out right.
Great news! I have compiled the videos with DVDit and burnt it with my ^new^ A05. The result .... drum roll ...... Beautiful!!! All my dreams are in DVD now.
I purchased a full version of the program last summer. Is there a upgrade for the full version of the software? Where would I find the link to download the same?
If you bought it Last year I don"t know if you can upgrade it But you can sure Try, See that Banner at the Bottom of the Page?? It says "Tmpgenc DVD author"?? Well Click that then go to the Download Page on that site and Download the "Plus version" and Install it, if you are intitled to a Free Upgrade it will Install without a Problem or your Serial Number will will Activate it, But you better make sure you have a Copy of your Old version on Disk Cuz this version will Overwrite the Old version and if the New one doesn"t upgrade then you will have to Re-install the Old one again, there have benn a Lot of Improvements since Last year....
How do i check to see if the file i want to encode is not full of errors, so i don't waste time encoding something to have it get an error right at the end. This file is in Xvid format
Well if there are Corrupted frames in the File then you can use "Virtual Dub" to scan for errors, But a Lot of the Time with XviD file you will get errors while encodeing to Mpeg because of the Xvid Codec , it is a Good idea to delete the Xvid codec(Unless you are useing it to Make Xvid Files) and download the "FFDShow decoder" it is Better at decodeing Xvid and DivX files than the actual Codecs are, and it solves a Lot of problem when encodeing the Files with Tmpgenc...
Didn"t you Read My Post??? I clearly stated that you "Scan For Errors" with "Virtual Dub", and I said that a lot of the Times errors are caused by the XviD codec, and I said to Get rid of the Xvid Codec and Download the FFDShow Filter/Codec"..And NO you don"t Just let it sit on your Desktop your Supposed to Umm "Install it" ,It won"t do you any Good Just sitting there..It will Basicly Just take over for the Xvid Codec, when installing it will ask you what formats you want it to decode for you, Choose all of them..If you are Useing the Xvid Codec to Make Xvid Files you can leave it installed, The FFDShow will still work...
Theres no need to be Rude, and watch your Language, I clearly stated everything and it seemed to go Right over your Head, I wasn"t trying to be rude(Unlike you)....
This is a great tool, making the process of dvb recording and dvd authoring very easy! Works great, no shift between audio and video.
Esp. for dvb recordings it would be great to have more than one audio source allowing more than one language!
Is there a way to cut and save demuxed files (video and (multiple) audio) without muxing?
If they are Part of the Actual Image then you Can"t Remove them Persey, But you can Cuz the Bottom of the Frame out so the area were the Subtitles are displayed is Not shown..You can do this in the "Clip Frame" settings in the "Advanced" settings...
In the new version of TMPGEnc when I transfer the avi file to mpeg the soundtrack sputters like an old film projecter. I've even switched the wave reader to toolame and the direct show is set at the highest priority in the environmental settings. Any ideas how to fix this? Oh, and I am running Windows XP.
Well you aren"t the only one Complaining about the Crappy audio Quality in this Version, I would either sugest useing the "High Quality" sample Rate conversion, or Just use a Totaly seperate Program to encode the audio, This is what I Allways do cuz Most encoders do not Produce Good Quality Audio..
See my thread that talks about the same problem. My solution was to encode the AVI, then go back and use the conversion option in the File menu to do a separate AVI->WAV conversion. This worked fine for me.
I take it back... Using the file->Convert menu worked when I converted the avi to wav at 33.1 khz but when I tried to do it at 44.1 khz, I got the same stutter problem... What do you have in common with me?
-Dual CPU system
-Windows XP Professional
-AVI made with Movie Maker 2
Well then it IS a Sample Rate conversion Problem, You should install a Better Quality Sample Rate converter, Like as said By another Poster "SCMPX", you can use it as Tmpgenc"s Audio encoder and Sample Rate converter..I personally use a Totally Seperate Program to extract the audio and to do sample Rate conversions and encode and clean up the audio, and Fix any Sync Problems..I usually use "Sound Forge 6" for extracting audio then encodeing to Mpeg audio or Wav audio, and it has a high quality sameple rate converter..Tmpgenc has allways lacked in the Audio depertment...My Work Computer is a P-4 3.06ghz HT PC with Windows XP, But I don"t use it very much for Video stuff Cuz It"s work and don"t have time for my Own Projects, My Home PC is a P-4 2.53ghz with Windows XP, and I have Probably $15,000 worth of Video Editing and DVD/SVCD/VCD Production Software installed and another $20,000 worth on Disk, I have so much Software Cuz I have a Small software resale Buisiness, so if you even need any software for Really Good Prices Let me know....
I just want to add, I found out through this experience it only works if you change the default reader in SCMPX to another that is listed. Otherwise it uses the exact same default as TMPGEnc, and that was the problem in the first place.
My challenge is when I play the movie I've created in my PS2 after one of the cuts the screen goes black with green squares all over it. The only way to fix it is to reset the PS2.
When I play the same movie in my standalone Sony it's fine.
When I play the movie in PowerDVD it's fine, but I see a slight glitch in the video that coincides with when on the PS2 the video goes funky.
