When i try to start the free program I get error in kernal32.dll! The program worked fine when i had XP, but my computer crashed so now that i reformated and installed Windows ME it just gives me error in kernal32.dll and wont start up !

Has any one else had this problem ? And how did you fix it >?

Thanx, Karri

Good product with a nice start.

I prefer to have support for adding atleast one Subtitiles.

Also an option for importing chapter points.

I agree with you.
I like this product.
The menues management will certainly improve in the future.
I would like to be able to define default behaviours (profile).

REALLY need subtitle support!!!!

Since I use Tmpgenc 2.512 for more than 2 hours, it crashes my norton firewall.
I receive this message: "Norton Internet Security has encountered a program error. Desinstal and reinstall Norton Internet Security to protect your computer".

It's the 3rd time I receive this message and I'm fed up with desisnstalling/reinstalling and then reconfiguring all my firewall.

With the previous versions of tmpg I didn't have this problem.

I run TmpgEnc on:
Windows 98 SE in French
Tmpg Enc 2.512 in English.

My Firewall is Norton Internet Security 2003 in French.

What Can I do ????
Thanks.

It appears that your resources are being depleted as the encoding process goes nearing the 2 hour mark, i.e not enough memory, or hardrive space, as windows needs enough hard drive space for caching, when your hard drives free space becomes more and more depleted, resource intesive programs such as nortons antivirus and Internet security run out of it's needed resources, so it would cause a crash. If you are encoding into 2 hours or more , then my guess is the caching of such a lengthy the encoding process, is what's causing this, which leads me to believe you need to free up some resources , avail more harddrive space by getting rid of what you don't need , and see how it goes from there, if not then increase your memory.

I haven't used it in maybe three months, but when I did try to use it again (today), all I got were error messages. Then I installed the latest free version, and it gave the same error messages, then froze up and won't work at all. Can anyone help?

Well it might be good if you told us what the errors are and what type of file you were trying to encode, meaning what codec was it compressed too???

It was a variety of errors, is now frozen up to where it won't work at all, and is an avi movie file.

I had the same trouble. I was trying to demonstrate the program to a friend and I got error in kernal32.dll and invalid pointer errors galore. I showed him a game instead.

When I tried the next day, it worked fine, even in batch processing mode which I have always had trouble with.

Try deleting the config files that TMPGEnc creates when you run it and try it again.

Please excuse my not knowing, but what config files?

I just tried running it again, and now get the "illegal operation" message as it then shuts itself off.

Never mind I found the problem, an dit was "none of the above." A rampant spyware made it's way onto my computer, and first only the TMPEG was acting up but soon enough everything was crashing because of the spyware. once I got rid of it, the TMPEG worked perfectly.

Hi, i'm having a major problem with converted avi files having stuttering or jerking audio after about 30 minutes. its not the source file i checked. please help!!!

Did you burn the disk at high speed?

No, its not when i burn it it becomes jerky its after coverting to mpeg the mpeg file has jerky audio.

It is reported that the conditions below cause audio problem in Japanese version.

1 Version of TMPGEnc 2.511 or 2.512
2 WindowsMediaPlayer9 installed
3 Use Directshow related VFAPI plugin to read source file
4 Do cut-edit in "source range"
5 Option related Multi-thread is set (This condition may not be neccesary)

To workaround this problem, use version 2.510.

So this Jerky Audio condidion is On your Computer and Not on your DVD Player Or you just haven"t burned it because of this Problem??? What are you useing to Watch the Mpeg with, Is it media Player, Cuz a While Back I was haveing a Big Problem with Trying to Play Mpeg files with Media Player cuz the audio Kept Cutting out on me, But after I installed a Software Mpeg Player like "Power DVD" the Audio was fine....Just a Thought

PS: it it is happening while on your DVD Player then it can be caused By a few things...

Thanks for your comment, but i got the audio problem solved with virtualdub to a wav file. however the video soure file is high quality and after conversion with the fixed audio the video is jerky and blocky in alot of spot on play back in my dvd. Any way to fix this new problem. Thanks,

There can be a Couple reasons for this Depending on how it looks, If you suddenly get a Lot of Discolored Square Blocks that totally distort the Image then it might clear up for a Bit then it comes back with Really distorting Blocks then this sounds like either Burning at to High of a Speed, if you experience this you should try burning all of your VCD/SVCD"s at 4 times speed, VCD/SVCD"s have no Error correction data ,that is why you get 800mb on a 700mb CD-R, but without error correction you have to burn really slow or you will get errors like this, I have had it happened to me a Few times also..I also noticed if I used VCDEasy to burn my Disks I would get this Problem more often than with other Programs.....

Is there a size limit in editing the MPEG source? I get a little past 60 minutes and the editor goes nuts! Pressing next frame once and the editor becomes un-responsive - next framing to the end of the file. I know I can break the file up but I should not have to.

I am experiencing a crash, when converting a DIVX 5.05 avi. To recapp , First I encoded the first part of a two part avi to an mpeg 2 SVCD and all went fine, when I went to convert the second part, 47% through the encoding process it crashed, I retried from the beginning, and it crashed again at 47%, I used avi dub to check for bad frames and it didn't report any . Could this be a bug?

use the source range to carry on after the 47%

King John, I tried using the source range and when I move the slider to the 47% mark it causes TMPGEnc to crash I am using the latest version. GSpot shows the video source as codec =4CC mp43 S-Mpeg 4 version 3, Stream Type A/V= Open DML AVI Direct Show renderer shows video type as MP43 and Audio Source type as MPG3.
I set the Environmental settings accordingly Prioritizing Open DML first, then Direct show renderer second and vice versa, and it still crashes for some weird reason at that particular point. I'm begining to wonder if it may be a bug, hopefully the programmer can load a vid of this type with these codecs to see.

Have this problem with an avi file I´m trying to encode to vcd! In the wizard when I select the file, it shows that the finished encod will take 389% of the disk space!! Iow about 2,4 giga, though the file wouldnt be bigger than 1g!
Well, when its finishes (after 12 hours) there is no sound with the movie, but when the movies over the sound starts!! So the movie is 3 hours instead of 1 and a half!! First the movie then the sound! Whats wrong!?

Well sometimes when Tmpgenc reports the Wrong length of a Movie it can usually be solved by Useing the "Source Range" and choose the Beginning and end points of the File so Tmpgenc will Know the Beginning and end of the File...But as For the Audio, you are Probaly Not getting any audio because the Audio in the DivX file is Probably AC3 audio and Tmpgenc does not support AC3 audio as a Source...What you have to Do is Extract the audio from the DivX file to Wav format then use the Wav file as the audio source in Tmpgenc..You can do this with AVI-Mux.....

TMPGEnc works just fine with AC3, so long as you install an AC3 filter.

Use the VFAPI settings to get your audio back.

See these guides
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/kingjohns-guides/guides/tmpgencplugin.html

AC3
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/kingjohns-guides/guides/moonlight.html

Sory But even with an AC3 Filter tmpgenc Will in Most cases not Decode AC3 audio No matter what that Site says, I have tried useing the "Moonlight audio decoder" as well as Many other AC3 filters with Very Minimal Success....

Yup, It doesn"t work, Just tried it, Followed the exact instructions for installing the AC3 decoder and checked with Gspot that it was installed Properly, then Tried to load a File with AC3 audio into it and it would only recognize the Video and would crash if I tried to do anything with the Audio...Ohh well Was worth a Try.....

Hm, that's interesting. On my maschine, it works. But it crashes sometimes while opening the Video. If it not crashes, it works... strange.

Well I have gotten to sort of work before but it is never reliable enough to Count on in any way, I Read something about there will be AC3 support in Tmpgenc 3 ,Even AC3 encodeing...

Go to www.doom9.org (or a similar site) and look for something called avi2vcd (a zip file). In it is a file called decompress.exe. This will decompress the audio of an avi file and then other software like VirtualDub and TMPGEnc can work with it just fine.

Thanks King John, by changing the VFAPI settings, i got the file working without any problems!!!

Hey I am running the newest version of TMPEGenc. I edit using Avid DV Xpress on a XP machine. When I export, I export to QTREF file and open it up in TMPEGENC (I have the qtref plugin for tmpeg). I use the generic DVD wizard and try to convert. The file gets about 25% or 6% done everytime then freezes, no error message just the program stopped responding. I tried exporting to QTREF using the avid codec and not using it...same thing. I had no problems doing this until this weekend, I was using tmpeg and the dvd authoring one flawlessly before...ANY HELP???

Thank you.

Actually the Plugin is not a QT REf Plugin so it is not supposed to be for QT Referance files, it is For Plain Mov files, Because you can get it to work with QT Referance file is Just a Bonus, and there Will Probably be No Bug fixes or Improvements with the QT Plugin because it is Not really supported By Tmpgenc..The Plugin was written Over a Year a Go by someone not ascosiated with Tmpgenc and has not been Upgraded since, so if you are running into Problems it is Understandable....

When I tried to use QT reference it did not work at all! I had to export my avid project as a quicktime and then encode using TMPGEnc. That worked well and the quality was great. It just would have been faster and I think a little better using the QT reference.
If anyone knows how let us know.

how can I convert a SVCD file to DVD compliant one? everytime I open the SVCD file - it says error unsupported etc. I have a software DVD player installed so there are MPEG2 codecs - cause this shows up in environmental settings. Any help please...

Well First off it is best to Use "DVD2AVI" to frameserve the SVCD Video to tmpgenc, This Method is Usually Faster and might give over all better Quality, Pluss there are Hardly ever any Problems useing this Method...Another thing is that you don"t need to re-encode the SVCD to be DVD Compliant to Make a DVD, You can Just burn the SVCD File as a DVD, you will have to Re-sample the Audio to 48000hz, There are Programs especially for Burning SVCD"s as DVD"s like "SVCD2DVD" you can find it on Google if you look for it, also there is a Pretty Good DVD authoting Program called "DVD Lab 1.1" that will allow you to burn a SVCD as a DVD without any problems..You can also do it with your Regular DVD Authoring Program if you use a Program called "DVD Patcher" to Patch the header of the SVCD File so that the File appears to Be DVD Comliant to your DVD Authoring Program...If you re-encode it to DVD Specs then you will loose Quality, and Burning it as a SVCD onto a DVD will allow you to fit 2 or 3 Full movies on a DVD-r....

NEEDED:

1) Menus that have only 1 track do not need a select track menu page. It only needs a select chapters page.

2) Option to output a track to a single VOB (or MPEG) file as opposed to several.

Thanks!

Joe

Yes, put me down for tracks without chapters and chapters without tracks as well.

I would also like to place my vote for tracks without chapters and chapters without tracks.

Definately a needed item, I absolutely hate the select title pages, give us checkboxes or something to allow us to get rid of the pages we do not want

You Might try Raiseing the Priority of the "QT Reader" in the :Vfapi Plugins" but other than that I don"t know what it could be, You might try an older version.....
