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

Try this, Go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct show" to "2"....

Hello there, I have used the Encoder to convert AVI to VCD, Picture is ok but there is no sound. How can I solve this? Many thanks

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...

Hi

I have encoded a less than 2 hours video(PAL) to DVD(NTSC) using TMPGenc's Wizard.

The problem is that the final Mpeg file is slightly more than 7Gb and it can't fit into my DVD-R.

I thought the Wizard prompted me that it could record up to 155mins onto a standard 4.7Gb DVD-R?

Am I missing something here?

Thanks.

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....

I think I will render the video to NTSC from Vegas first before encoding it in TMPGEnc again. Do you think this would be better?

I tried looking for the "Black empty Space at the end" but nope, it wasn't there. Hmmm....

Let me try the Vegas first...

Thanks..

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"m Glag it Turned out....Cheers

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?

Thanks in advance.

Matt

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...

How doi scan for errors and with this ffshow or what ever it is, once i download it is it jsut left alone or do i have to do something to it

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...

Slow down buddy, i didn't see any scan for errors, fuck off

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?

Does anyone know how to remove subtitles from an avi file?

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..

Using the higher sample rate didn't work. But I used SCMPX as an external and that seemed to solve the problem. Thanks for the idea.

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.

This is a great product!

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.

I'm using Nero with a Pioneer A04 to burn.

Any thoughts? Is there anywhere to send a clip?

Thanks!

I'm trying to encode an avi for a convention and they recommend using MPEG-2 with
Variable Bit Rate encoding with 12 megabits per second as the maximum. However, I can't seem to push it beyond 8 megabits per second. Is there a cap on the bit rate that was recently introduced?

There is a Cap on the Bitrate if you are Makeing a DVD, the Maximum Bitrate that DVD Standards allow is a Max of 9800KBS includeing all the Audio and other tracks combined, so if you are makeing a DVD then you Can NOT use 12000kbs as the Max bitrate, even if the settings did alow it (They actually do) the Disk would not play Properly on your DVD Player..But if you are Not makeing a DVD then you can Raise the Bitrate to Pretty Much anything you want But you will first have to load the "Unlock.mfc" Template from the "Extra" folder, Or you can simply click the word "Bitrate" in the setting dialog and choose "Unlock", it will Probably give you a warning saying that the File will be out of DVD Specs...

Thanks, that did the trick. :)

Can anyone help i am trying to convert an avi to vcd using Dvd2vcd and Tmpgne. When Tmpgne log says encoding test clip it does so by playing entire avi in window then starts again saying wanted kbs....... predicted kbs......... using CQ value it generates a higher CQ value and starts again this process continues over and over again. What am i doing wrong?

1/smart rip
2/dvd to avi (dolby downmix)
3/then tmpge (2dv vid---ac3 sound)
4/vcd convert
