Hello.

Has anyone found a way to use Xvid movies.

I'm trying to covert Xvid movies downloaded to DVD or Svcd but I keep getting invalid pointer .... error messages.

I use Virtual dub to split them into 2 and then use TmpgEnc. I've tried just making one DVD or 2 SVcd. The DVD using the standard setting's and skipping VirualDub. Or Svcd using cq65, 480x480 and 1800-4000.

Any suggestions. I've even tried downloading the Xvid codec...

Steven

You might try useing the "FFDShow" decoder to decode the Files instead of useing the XviD codec, this usually solves some of the Problem ascosiated with encodeing XviD files..

It seems now a lot of movies I download and try to convert are giving me error messages. Could it be I have install extra codec's?

I'll look at home and get the error message if it helps.

I've made 400 movies no problem and now I'm having error messages. Tried even reinstalling the program.

Steven

After uninstalling and installing FFshow Xvid is nolonger supported. I've looked to see if any other xvid codecs are installed but cant see any.

Xvid is listed in FFShow and I have installed it 2x.

Steven

After installing FFDshow does the XVID play in media player?

I have two problems the first and more serious of the two is that when i convert a mov file to mpeg the audio is missing, i downloaded the quicktime plugin, but all i have is video, the secoond problem is that when i play the converted file the aspect ratio looks like it's 16:9 and the mov source file isn't 16:9 i tried adjusting the aspect ratio before converting but no matter what i set it to the ratio stays 16:9, any help on these problems qould be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Well if you can"t get audio then extract the audio from the Mov file to a Wav file and use that as the audio source..as for the aspect ratio try setting the "Video arrange Method" to Fullscreen Keep aspect ratio" and if for some reason that doesn"t work try experimenting with the "Clip Frame" setting and Video arange methods...

sometimes the audio in quicktime movies is not extractable (to stop ppl copy the file?). Try rad video tools or capture audio directly using sound recorder soft like total recorder.

All problems solves thanks alot guys

Anyone no what to do when your system hangs?

ASF Files are extremely Error Prone because of the extremely high compression ratio, and when Tmpgenc encounters one of these errors it can freeze up or crash and that is what is Probably happening, you can try a tool called "ASF-Fix" to try to fix any errors in the File, and Raiseing the Direct show might help also...

why does all my mpegs after running tmpg get blocky?

Blockyness is a Sure sign that the Bitrate is Much too low, if you are doing Standard VCD"s then you will usually get Blockyness cuz the VCD standard uses a Really low bitrate...Also if you use the Resize to increase the Resolution too much this can cause Blockyness and so will low quality source files.The "Remove Block Niose" setting can help a Bit but increaseing the Bitrate is the only real was to eliminate the Blockyness...

Using TMPGEnc to decode DVD file " VOB"

The decoders

Free Nimo Codec Pack
Remember when you install the Nimo Codec Pack you need install ' Full'.
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/nimo_pack.html

Or you can try this one DVD Decoder Pack For Windows XP It good but you have to pay it.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/windowsxp/buypacks.aspx
OR you can dowload it from kazaa share user.
search DVD Decoder

Tmpgenc was allways able to decode VOB files But "ONLY" the Video unless the audio isn"t AC3 and "ONLY" with the Specific Mpeg2 decoders that are supported By Tmpgenc which are the "Ligos Decoders"(In Nemo codec Pack) or the "Cyberlink" decoders (With Power DVD)..The Chances of decodeing AC3 with Tmpgenc buy just installing Nemo is very Minimal to Nill, especially with Dolby 5.1, I have had very Minimal success with 2 chanell AC3...

>Simple way to Decode DVD file VOB?

I don't think so.

As Minion says TMPG doesn't natively support decoding of AC3 audio in VOBS and even if you do manage to decode the audio in the VOB which would be a hit and miss affair, you will have no control over the tracks you can select.

Also if you were lucky enough to decode the right audio track, TMPG will not decode VOBs with audio as sequential files which means you would have to encode each VOB seperately and then join the resulting files together at a risk of sync probs and artifacts where the join is.

SO the 'Simple way to Decode DVD file VOB?'. My advice is stick to DVD2AVI people which is proven to be the most reliable, best quality and fastest way to decode VOBS.


ASHY

Hm, maybe the good old Smartripper is a good choice. It can do a complete Demultiplexing (Stream Processing) of all the Streams on a DVD.

And to decode the Videopart or if only a VOB and no DVD to decode... as Ashy said, there's no better Program than DVD2AVI.

I use dvd2avi, and it decodes the vob files, AND creates a wav file from the audio, so as long as you can get the video encoded to Mpeg, which is my problem, you dont need to have the video unless you plan on keeping it on your computer. Use the original wav file from dvd2avi for you audio in final encode

I downloaded a demo of tmpgenc which expired, I then deleted the demo and installed a full version of tmpgenc, but the full version must be corrupted by hidden files because the full version has not worked properly (always freezes in the process of encoding). Can anyone tell me what I can do to make it work properly

The Demo doesn"t Have ANY Hidden Files, what you download is all there is, it does add certain Registry entries But this doesn"t effect how the Program runs..Your Problem is Probably more related to The Files you are encodeing and the settings used as opposed to remnant files from the demo....

I thought I would share this alternative to TMPG for people having problems cutting and joining their files.
This program has a visual display, an accurate cut setting and is easy to use and can join as well as cut MPEGs.

Here is also a freeware Mpeg2 editor Based on DVD2AVI, it only Cut"s Mpeg2 files and doesn"t join them but it is pretty fast and it is free, still have a couple bugs But it is worth a Try, it is called "Mpeg2Cut" and you can get it here: http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/mpeg2cut.html

I would like to know how to subtitle a movie using TMPGEnc

Tmpgenc does not Do the Subtitles, you need to use something like Virtual Dub with the Subtitle Plugin and you need to have the Subtitle file, then you frame serve your AVI file with the Subtitles to Tmpgenc which will encode the File to Mpeg with the Subtitles...

if you have ffdshow in your computer, leave the name of video file and subtitle file the same (namevideofile = namesubtitlefile). after that, use TMPGEnc, and converts divx to mpeg. then you split the file 2 equal parts, using DVtool.exe.
and you use VCDEasy to record the disc.

>after that, use TMPGEnc, and converts divx to mpeg. then you split the file 2 equal parts, using DVtool.exe.

What's wrong with using TMPG to do the cutting?

ASHY

What's the answer?
TMPGEnc converts my avi to mpg ok, but how do I make this into a playable DVD that I can play. I burned the mpg file on a standard CD but of course the DVD player won't play it. Can anyone direct me to some info?

Are you wanting to Make a VCD/SVCD on a CD-R or a DVD on a DVD-/+R?? if your opting for the DVD then you need a DVD Authoring Program to add Menu"s and Chapters then Finally format the Mpeg file into a Video-TS Folder and then burnt to a DVD-/+R..You can not just Burn the Mpeg to a disk and Have it play, the Mpeg"s have to be formated so the DVD Player can read the Files..Go here "http://www.dvdrhelp.com/" and you will find many ways of doing this, some Easy but usually with Pay for it software or some more complicated but with Freeware(Mostly)....

I want to add subtitles. Either I put directshow to the highest priority (1) and the rest to 0 and it works, but the mpeg file shows no fluent movie. If I lower the priority of direct show the movie becomes normal again, but the subtitles don't show.

Does anyone have a solution?

When I want to convert the file, I get an error that says : "write error occured at address .... of module 'ntdll.dll' with 00000000"
Any ideas what I can do...?
