Sometimes when I compress MPEG movies, the converted movie is not complete. In a 25 minute movie, 2 or 3 minutes are left out. Here are my settings:
MPEG-1, 352x240 (source MPEG movie is larger), 29.97fps, CBR 500kbps, Audio Layer2, 44100hz, 96kbps

Any ideas or suggestions would be great. Do I have to update to the licensed encoder to get full movie conversion?

Are you serious? Maybe a Softwareplayer is able to handle this correctly, most DVD-Players won't. And the quality... argl...

Christ, it must look awful. Standard VCD resolution is bad enough, but that must be almost unwatchable.

Try setting the start and end points of the movie in the 'source range' function in 'advanced' settings.

Is there a way to use TMPGEnc 3.0 Xpress to convert .tivo files to DVD format?

no. not possible with current version.

I am trying to convert avi to m2v file... but i just get a black screen but the audio is converted fine...

Just a series of checks..
What about the VFAPI plugin order (Option__Environmental Settings__VFAPI Plug-in)? Which priority order do you have?
And if you try to look at the output by doing 'Settings__Advenced___Source Range' (or Clip Frame)?
Does this heappen even if you try to encode that AVI into a MPEG-1 movie (VCD)?

I'm trying to conver avi file to mpeg file. audio is fine but there is no video.

Why is it when I open a VOB file that plays just fine, it
has DTS audio, that the audio is unrecognised?

If DTS is unsupported, why not at least give that error

try to reencode de dts to ac3 ( 5.1 ) cause tmpgenc does not support dts

All of a sudden, my tmpge (free version), does not convert any of my avi files.
I have been using this version of Tmpge for over six months. All I get is a black screen in the preview.
I have download every codec I can get and still nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So how can it be a bug if it's only started happening after 6 months?
Please post appropiately in future.

I'm trying to convert many avi files to mpeg but it takes a long time. I see there is a feature that says batch convert and Add to batch. How do I use them? And will it convert all the files I select from avi to mpeg?
Thanks!

I wonder how to use these CalcuMatic and CQMatic program, to calculate my video bitrate and determine the CQ value, could anyone tell me?

I purchased TMPGEnc about six months ago. A recent hard drive crash has deprived me of my serial number.

Can I get it sent to me with proof of purchase?

Thanks

I used Xpress 3.0 to copy the source of a pal dvd to my hdd. It's at 25 fps. I've encoded it to ntsc 3 times, once on CBR twice on VBR, but after about 2/3 of the way through it gets stuck on one frame for the rest of the movie. The sorce doesn't have this glitch, so I'm lossed.

Media Player cannot read MPG created by TMPGEnc.
It generates an error. Should DVD player read it?

You need an MPEG2 player. WinDVD, Power DVD or if you want free players then I recommend VLC media player or Media player classic.

So, I've been having problems with TMPGEnc and 'd2v' files. 'DVD2AVI.VFP' are in the proper directories, the VFAPI plugin in DVD2AVI is enabled, and the 'DVD2AVI Project File Reader' is enabled in the Environmental settings of TMPGEnc, but it still isn't working.

Can someone tell me what I should do now, this problem is REALLY starting to vex me. Thanks in advance.

The 'DVD2AVI.VFP'file you are using MUST be from the same version that you created the d2v filw with.

I would recommend using version 1.76 only with TMPG as this is the only version which is compatible with Smartripper files also.

Delete your current version and install the one above. Put the 'DVD2AVI.VFP' in the TMPG directory and recreate your d2v.
If the d2v still does not open in TMPG then raise the 'DVD2AVI.VFP' priority in the VFAPI plugins to top of the list.

And check this order (in mine it can load the D2V files):
DirectShow Multimedia Fila Reader = 1
... (all other) = 0
...
...
DVD2AVI project File Reader 1.77.1 = 0
AVI FVW Compatibility reader = -1

You're able to raise/lower the priority of a plugin by right-clicking it, isn't it?
