Question - TE25 - Motion Search Precision No.40304
Sakuya  2003-12-28 02:37:09 ( ID:6y4cusar5hr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I was wondering about the Motion Search Precision. Usually, I set it at normal when converting this series. It usually takes me 4 and a half hours (slow computer) to complete it. When I set it at "motion estimate search", it took 7 hours. The video is the same length. I also have source range on. So which option would be recommended if I want faster speed, normal or motion estimate search? I know it says it's faster, but still...it's taking me 2 extra hours..


Sillyname  2003-12-29 13:57:30 ( ID:lson5c//lnw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Normal is actually faster that Motion Estimate Search. They just ran out of ways to say faster, fastest, most fastest, more fasterer...


Sakuya  2003-12-30 07:23:26 ( ID:6y4cusar5hr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Really? Then I guess I should use Normal?


Minion  2003-12-31 00:00:23 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You will get the Best quality by useing the "High Quality" setting as the "Highest quality" setting doesn"t seem to improove the Quality But it does double the Time it takes to encode...Cheers


Sakuya  2003-12-31 01:37:30 ( ID:6y4cusar5hr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Since the quality doesn't improve by much over all the options, I guess I will take the option that takes the shortest amount of time. So I guess it would be "normal"?



Question - TE25 - No Sound When Converted with TMPGEnc No.40299
Help  2003-12-28 01:19:05 ( ID:obdr6lcakyo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The audio of the original file is:

Audio : 31 MB, 96 Kbps, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, 0x0 = RealAudio 8,cook-25, Supported

Converted is:

Audio : 72 MB, 224 Kbps, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, 0x51 = Mpeg-1 audio Layer 2 [0xc0], Supported

How come when I converted this file with TMPGEnc the sound doesn't work? When played there audio for 1 sec and then it's gone throughout the show... please help


Help  2003-12-28 01:24:04 ( ID:obdr6lcakyo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

O yeah, I tried using virtualdub but it says that it cannot detect the file
I also used Goldwave and it says cannot determine format of file

it asks to specify the format, attributes, and rate, but I can't find those info..

Please reply

Thanks

No encoding program is going to support real audio.
Real audio and real media files should be banished from the earth forever. They are just a pain and a now a pretty useless format.

You will have to download something like Dbpoweramp or the program below to convert the audio to a wav.

i think a program like tinra will convert all real media formats back to a normal avi. you then convert that avi with tmpenc



Question - TE25 - divx avi problem No.40298
Mick C  2003-12-27 21:14:54 ( ID:p3oejd5tryh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi to all,
my problem is a dixv avi that won't encode to either vcd,svcd,dvd, tried everything sugested on the bbs & read all i can about converting avi to DVD, still no go. Have made many vcd & svcd with no probs, but just having a go at dvd. First time i tried encoding this file though!
It seems to be a problem with the file itself or a codec issue i think.
The avi is conmpressed with divx mpeg4 (low motion). checked for frame faults in vdub, vdub crashed saying error with divxc32.dll. I installed ffshow in tmpeg and increased direct show to 2, still no luck!Tmpgenc crashes and whole pc freezes have to re-boot, the thing is that this film plays all the way though in wmp! so wouldn't have thought there was a fault with it, is there something I'm not doing?

used all standard templates for vcd ,svcd and dvd.
Altered dvd .mcf to cq (70 or 80) 6000 max bitrate (5000 + 4000 too)non worked.
set DC component to 10, set matrix to mpeg standard, but nothing worked!

Any help would be appreciated. thanx



Question - TDA1 - Set all font sizes? No.48910
smeghead  Home )  2003-12-27 13:59:38 ( ID:9hf9ta5owzh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is there a way to set all the font sizes? I am happy the all color feature was created but I have a dvd with nearly 100 chapters and its a real pain to change all the font sizes. I even created a theme with the correct size but it wont change the font size from default when I apply it.



Question - TDA1 - 4/3 menu in stead of 16/9 menu? No.48909
freebutterflyx  2003-12-26 19:24:25 ( ID:lilcnhjltvk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I encoded 2 files for a 16/9 pal system. I want to make a dvd with tmpgenc dvd author.
The menu I get is always 4/3 and not 16/9. I have a 16/9 tv. So I have black borders on the sides or i loose the top and bottom of the menu.
Did i do something wrong?



Question - TE25 - What is LSX encoder's settings for Ulead? No.40293
Sillyname  2003-12-26 14:46:50 ( ID:lson5c//lnw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The LSX encoder that comes with ULEAD Mediastudio 7 has almost no options, whatsoever...

Does anybody know what it is set for internally, so I can set TMPGEnc to mimic it and then tweak TMPGEnc. Currently DVDs burned with DVD compliant Mpeg2 video from ULEAD are the only ones that work in my DVD settop. Ones burned with TMPGEnc NTSC DVD template freeze and resume at certain parts in video or don't play at all.

I'm using VBR 8000kbps, field order a, DV-type1, interlaced, 4:3, 720x480, 29.97fps and have the NTSC-DVD field in Ulead's Mpeg2 settings picked, instead of standard MPEG2, although DVDs worked with standard MPEG2 selected, as well.

I think I need a bitrate analyzer.

This is the TMPG BBS not the Ulead forum and you are still making multiple posts on the same subject, you have at least 9 on this page.
I for one am fed up with your willy nilly posting all over the place.
If you continue to multiple post I will request to have your IP banned.

Gotcha.

I'll just steer all my questions through Pegasys Inc now. Are they as knowledgeable as the people at this BBS or am I gonna get the run around?


ashy  2003-12-26 18:50:40 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Here's a tip for you.
Download bitrate viewer http://www.tecoltd.com/bitratev.htm then create a short clip with Ulead and create another with TMPG.
Load each one into bitrate viewer then copy and paste the properties of both of the files here, so I can compare them.
This way it may be possible to determine what the actual difference is between them both.

Question - TE25 - pause No.40291
ray kelly  2003-12-26 14:45:23 ( ID:vx109ru/hcr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi there is it possible to pause encoding a file to re-start at a later point?


ashy  2003-12-26 18:54:20 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It is not possible to pause the program and then close it, but you can pause it and just move the program out of the way to the edge of your screen by simply clicking the stop button. When you wish to resume just cancel the abort and it will continue.

If you wish to shut your PC down then put it into hibernation. When you restart you can continue where you left off.



Question - TE25 - Encoding Video perfect..Audio Scrambled for 3 sec and then Nothing No.40289
ramfan7  2003-12-26 07:47:57 ( ID:qtv3byqugra )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I encode my movies to TMPGE and it does the video perfectly but the audio plays for 3 to 6 seconds and then NOTHING. And the audio is scrambled too.
What settings did I do wrong ?
SECONDLY I used Stream Type ES Video/ AUDIO Is that correct?
Worked in past from Adob but not Pinnacle.....
My original files are AVI files from Pinnacle Liquid edition.And they play perfectly in windows media etc etc...


ashy  2003-12-26 18:55:15 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Convert the audio to a wav using Virtualdubmod then use that as your audio source.



Bug report - TE25 - XviD and TMPGEnc No.40287
S8tn  2003-12-26 04:03:45 ( ID:nhfxok3mrgn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Come to new conclusions.................TMPGEnc does not like the XviD codec. I've tried to convert many movies I've recompressed containing the XviD codec (As XviD can have up to a 10000 bit rate).


ashy  2003-12-26 12:40:48 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

So what's your point?
That a hacked MPEG4 codec sometimes has problems with a program that doesn't officially support it? How is this a bug?

However XVID AVI's will work just fine if you configure TMPG correctly to work them and don't use AVI's that are possibly corrupt or downloaded from the net.

If you search this BBS you will find details how to make XVID work fine.



Question - TE25 - avi2vcd TMPGEnc keeps greating 2 clips No.40282

Hi. Im trying to make vcd by using avi2vcd. Bitrate settings are fine, but still TMPGEnc creates two clips? Why ?

Thx


Minion  2003-12-26 02:41:57 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Are you useing AVI2VCD or are you useing Tmpgenc?? What do you Mean by 2 Clips are these 2 Parts of the Same File or are the 2 files of a Different Format??


llr  2003-12-26 08:02:45 ( ID:6azb0/ult/c )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yes, im using avi2vcd and encoder is TMPGenc. Two clips means that they are from same file but splitted in two parts.


ashy  2003-12-26 12:44:57 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

This is the TMPG BBS.
Why don't you ask your question in the AVI2VCD forum.

The author of TMPG does not support the use of these third party programs with TMPG and hence any problems as such are not TMPG problems, so take your question to the AVI2VCD forum which is where the answer to your problem lies.

Question - TE25 - PAL to NTSC No.40280
stymie1001  2003-12-25 21:32:52 ( ID:xc88v7jndyk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

How do I convert a PAL file to NTSC using TMPGEnc?


Minion  2003-12-26 02:39:29 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Tmpgenc does not Properly convert Pal to NTSC or Visa versa ,Well you can But then you will have to use an Audio Editor to Change the Length of the Audio because when converting 25fps to 23.97fps the audio length is Changed because less Frames a second makes a Longer Video File..So what you do is set the Framerate to 23.97fps with 3:2 Pulldown on Playback then set select the "Do Not Frame Rate Convert" in the Advanced settings and then encode Just the Video to Mpeg..Now you will need to extract the audio from the source File to WAV format and then you will need an audio editor like "GoldWave"..You now Find out the Exact length of the Mpeg Video file and write it down and then load the Audio into GoldWave and use the "Time Warp" Feature to Change the length of the Audio file to the exact Length of the Video File, then render the Wav file and encode it to Mpa audio and Multiplex it with the Video File...You can also use a Good Quality Video editor to do the Conversion cuz Most good editors Like premier or vegas can do proper Frame rate conversions...Cheers



Question - TDA1 - LPCM > 16 bit = impossible No.48906
Stefan  Home )  2003-12-25 09:19:57 ( ID:mpr4lvx5kro )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If I use TMPGEnc DVD Author I can use a sound (Audio Input File) like Dolby Digital (AC3), MPEG1 Audio Layer 2 or Linear PCM.

Well, I´ll use LPCM!

If I read the DVD-Standard, I can use Linear PCM with 16 / 20 / 24 Bit with a Sampling Frequency about 48 or 96 kHz.

But TMPGEnc DVD Author can only use LPCM with 16Bit resolution. It´s impossible to use LPCM with 24 Bit and 96 kHz.

What´s wrong?

Best from Wuppertal and
Merry Christmas!

Stefan




Olivier  2004-01-01 20:16:19 ( ID:x5bc8gweacc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

That's not dvd standard.... only 48kHz & 16 bit... I'm sorry for you.

>That's not dvd standard.... only 48kHz & 16 bit... I'm sorry for you

Sorry Olivier, 48 kHz is only for compressed sound. I think you were misinformed! The the dvdrhelp.com site is wrong.

I write about lossless, uncompressed digital audio (LPCM)!!

Please read DVD Demystified from Jim Tayler (side 304, 305):

Dolby Digital (AC3) = <448 kBit/s by 48 kHz
MPEG-1 = <384 kBit/s by 48 kHz
MPEG-2 = <912 kBit/s by 48 kHz

but

Linear PCM = <6.144 MBit/s and 16, 20 or 24 Bit by 48 or 96 kHz !!!

And please see some leaflets from Sony or others about DVD-Players. All new player can play 96 kHz LPCM (by 24 bits) !!!!!

http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html wrote:
"Linear PCM is uncompressed (lossless) digital audio, the same format used on CDs and most studio masters. It can be sampled at 48 or 96 kHz with 16, 20, or 24 bits/sample. (Audio CD is limited to 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.) There can be from 1 to 8 channels. The maximum bit rate is 6.144 Mbps, which limits sample rates and bit sizes when there are 5 or more channels. It's generally felt that the 120 dB dynamic range of 20 bits combined with a frequency response of around 22,000 Hz from 48 kHz sampling is adequate for high-fidelity sound reproduction. However, additional bits and higher sampling rates are useful in audiophile applications, studio work, noise shaping, advanced digital processing, and three-dimensional sound field reproduction. DVD players are required to support all the variations of LPCM, but many subsample 96 kHz down to 48 kHz, and some may not use all 20 or 24 bits. The signal provided on the digital output for external digital-to-analog converters may be limited to less than 96 kHz and less than 24 bits."


The CSS license (not the DVD Technical Notes) does not allow digital PCM output of CSS-protected material at 96 kHz. The player must downsample to 48 kHz. But the DVD-Standard give a permission to use.

Please note: We talk about S/P DIF Characteristics.

The Standard IEC958 "Digital audio interface" define that the Signal bitrate is 2.8MHz (Fs=44.1kHz), 2Mhz (Fs=32kHz) and 3.1Mhz (Fs=48kHz).

With regard to DVD-Audio some new DVD-Video-players can output 96/24 PCM audio using a non-standard variation of IEC-958 running at 6.144 Mbps instead of the normal limit of 3.1 MHz.

OK, I will make my one DVD-Video with a GOOD sound. I use LPCM (is lossless uncomressed digital audio) with 96kHz sample frequency and 24 bits sample size, witout (!!) CSS license (it is my one license).

If I produce the DVD with Spruce DVDMaestro I have no problems with my PCM-Stream (96kHz/24Bit). TMPGEnc DVD Author did not work correct!!
