help! i have been encoding movies on to dvd for a couple of months now but all of a sudden i`am having trouble. when i encode my movie everything is fine and dandy:) then i load my file into tmpgenc dvd author thats ok i preview my movie thats fine it has sound good picture all is well. when i output the file to a series of vob files and burn to dvd there is no audio why?
i have done this loads of times before and there has been no problem i acnt understand it.
software i use is: cce,aviscript or gocce,tmpgenc dvd author, and i have all the latest codecs
DVD Author doesn't create SVCDs. You want to use something like
DVDx (you can find pointers to it on www.dvdrhelp.com) to create
your SVCD files. (I've never tried to go from a .AVI to SVCD; you
might need to convert the AVI to DVD (using TMPGEnc and DVD Author)
and then use DVD2SVCD or DVDx to convert it to a multi-disk SVCD.
I know this question has been beaten to death, but would appreciate some guidance.
I am attempting to record some home videos onto Video CD's. Is this the correct way to do it and have them display correctly on a typical 4x3 ratio TV.
1) Record the video digitally at 320x240, 30fps, NTSC format.
2) Using TMPGEnc, select MPEG-1 (which is 352x240) and as a "Source Aspect Ratio" select 4:3 525 line (NTSC), and for "Video Arrange Method" select Full Screen (keep aspect ratio)
Because I did this, and the result seems correctly perportioned and nice, but on computer it appears like the 320x240 movie is contained in the center of a 352x240 box with black borders on the right and left, and narrow black borders on the top and bottom. What I am wondering is if...when I play the video CD in my DVD player, on my 4:3 TV screen, it will attempt to display the movie as 352x240, which will either create a black border at the top and bottom of my TV screen, or will it squish the 352x240 to full screen and distort the 320x240 movie it contains, OR will it just display the 320x240 movie full screen on my TV to perfection!
I have a 1.3G file that I am trying to cut to fit on two 80 minute CDs. I used edit in MPEG tools and managed to set the start as 0 and the end as 1 hour 18 minutes for the first one. But it will not let me set the start as 1 hour 18 minutes and the end as last. I also notice in the scroll bar at the bottom of the edit screen is blank. Are there any options that I need to turn on/off in order to make this bit work. I always seem to have trouble with this part in the edit screen. If I press the play button the movie plays OK, but I can not use the scroll bar to move to the frame I want to. As soon as I click on the scroll bar the movie stops and the marker doesn't move with the mouse.
The Tmpgenc Editor can be buggy at times...Download this: "http://www.marumo.ne.jp/mpeg2/m2v_vfp-0.6.42.lzh" it has a Simple Mpeg editor that you can use to Cut Mpeg files, hopefully this will work better than the Tmpgenc editor...Cheers

I have many MPEG2 files, all were enconded in TMPGEnc. I'm sure, that they differ only in length. Here's description of one of them from utility AVIcodec:
File : 87 MB (86 MB), duration: 0:04:58, type: MPG, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 72 %
Video : 78 MB, 2200 Kbps, 25.0 fps, 352*288 (16:9), MPG2 = MPEG 2 (SVCD/DVD), Supported
Audio : 7.98 MB, 224 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x51 = Mpeg-1 audio Layer 2 [0xc0], Supported
I need to merge them into one single file. When I try to do this in TMPGEnc, several files report this error:
File _.mpg is not compatible with other MPEG file. Why ? Every file was encoded the same way.
Well it's no good just posting the specs of one file. You need to post the other file you are trying to merge with it so we can compare and see what the problem is.
If you know any other utility, which can tell me more about that file, I can try it. Uploading whole file somewhere or sending via e-mail would be problem. Maybe a few bytes from header will do. Just ask.
I have had Problem mergeing files with Tmpgenc also, even files that are exactly the same...I would sudgest useing a Real Mpeg editor like "Mpeg2VCR" you can download an older full version at h**p://www.apachez.net in the tools section....
When i try to convert a file using this program i get the error "Read error occured at address 00011EE3 of module "TMPGEnc.exe" with 911F9005". Are thre any solutions to this? I'm trying to convert a .d2v video file and .wav audio file into a NTSC VCD file, although this has happened before.
What are good DVD burning apps to use with TMPGEnc? I have DVDIt at the moment but are also interested in getting TMPGEnc DVD Author. I have downloaded Cheetah DVD burner as well.
The moment I heard of TMPGenc DVD Auth I bought it, based on my good opinion of the TMPGEnc Plus encoder. I have made more than 50 dvds up to now without any major problem. I keep to simple menues. I tried the moving menues just to see (I don't need that). Tried to specify AC3 audio once for fun. Have backuped some old bilingual VHS (work nicely). My burner is a Sony I got last April (work well with the burning engine included with TMPGenc DVD Auth).
There are regular updates of the programs.
The forum is not really busy but this prove the good quality of the program.
The authoring program that came as a freebee with the burner I bought last April (along with other junk) was a pure waste of time and nerve.
Good luck !

I am trying to encode a TGA sequence and getting nothing but trouble.
The trouble is what I found over and over again on this board, slight jerky motion, only on interlaced frames. When playing in WMP (Windows Media Player) its so slight you can barely tell its there, the second it hits my DVD Player its crazy screwed.
The source has Interlaced and Non Interlaced frames in it, basically I am writing them out from a Velocity (editing system) some of the video is coming from TV some from film, some from game cinematics, so basically its a miserable source and there is nothing I can do about that.
So I am treating the whole thing as though its non interlaced.
Its acting like the fielding is bad, but I have tried every combination I can till my head is spinning, interlaced and non with source and output as well as reversing the fields back and forth.
Summing, NonInterlaced works like a charm, its only the interlaced stuff thats screwed... I simply dont get it. I actually had this working a few months back but didnt save any settings and havent played with it in that time so I forgot it all anyhow.
You can't mix interlaced and non interlaced Video and encode it in progressive Mode.
You have two choices:
Deinterlace the interlaced Part and encode progressive.
Encode all the Stuff in interlaced Mode (the better choice).
Maybe you should just use an area based or adaptive de-interlacer such as the ones that come with AVIsynth or Virtualdub.
These work by looking for interlace lines in each individual frame and therefore will only de-interlace the frames needed to be de-interlaced. You can then simply frame serve the material to TMPG.
Encoding all as interlaced should work as the field order is correct. If it doesn't then maybe you should try frame serving through AVisynth or Virtualdub anyway to see if it handles it any better.
Correction:
>Encoding all as interlaced should work as the field order is correct
Encoding all as interlaced should work as long as the field order is correct.
OK, so my DVD has a main menu and 3 sub-menus. For some reason, when you open my third sub-menu on a standalone DVD player, you can't select/click any of the buttons! For some reason, however, it works on a DVD-ROM drive! I think this may have something to do with compatibility, when i was building the DVD imagine it said "compatiblity: pc-based software dvd players"... is this the problem? if so, how do i change it to work on a standalone? if not, what is the problem?? any help would be greatly appretiated!! thankyou!!!
Hi, I just got a new home theater [I had a multi format read-everything no name DVD player before]. Most of my SVCDs work fine - I encoded those back at my parent's house. And now I can't encode a single working SVCD at my computer using the same exact software and same CD-Rs. I don't know if it's a burner, or TMPGEnc, or Nero but here's what happens. I burn the 1st part of the movie on a disk and that disk usually reads fine on my theater which is by the way Panasonic SC-HT700 and then the 2nd part of the movie encoded and burned in the same exact way doesn't [there's digital lines all over the screen and sound gets distorted - unwatchable]. I just don't know what the problem is - 1st part reads fine but it's always the 2nd CD that's choppy [same exact DivX]. Help anyone?
