I am trying to demux an XVID .avi with the following ID in GSpot:
Audio: 0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3
I highlighted NO compression in Virtual Dub, Full processing mode but could not
get the extraction to .wav accomplished. Virtual Dub shuts the window down without extracting the .wav file. Anyone got any ideas as to why?
i sometimes get this an have to extract the wav with a proggie called "avimux"
run avi mux then set the preroll to 100 and interleave to 100 then set output name
finally press go....hope this helps
When I'm using TMPGEnc to convert d2v to mpeg, I keep getting the same error message when the convertion is about 30% complete. I tried unistalling and installing the program over and over but nothing solves the problem.
This is the message I get: "Read error occured at address 01AA6B07 of module 'DVD2AVI.VFP' with 0277D710".
Does anyone knows why this happens?
Try raising the priority of the d2v reader on the VFAPI plugins. If that doesn't help itould be a problem in either the D2v or the VOBs themselves. creat another d2v, if you get the same problem re-rip the VOBs.

Maybe someone can help me.... For some reason Tmgenc will not let me use a separate .WAV file for my audio source when attempting to convert an .AVI file to .MPEG. I have done it several times before without any problems. I have tried several different .AVI files, all with the same problem. When I put in the video source and then try to use a separate audio source everything freezes up and I end up having to turn the computer completely off. I have not attempted to just convert using the same audio source as video, I prefer to extract the audio into a .WAV file and use the 2 files. (Seem to have less audio synch problems that way) I would like to continue to use that method. I have uninstalled TMPGenc and reinstalled twice with no luck. I have updated my virus definitions and ran a full virus scan, nothing. Sometimes it just freezes and a couple of times I actually received an error message that read as follows:
"Read error occurred at address BFF6A285 of module KERNEL32.DLL with 007DFFC0"
I have followed the process of capturing via www.lukesvideo.com and it was very precise because he knew that capturing from composite cable/VHS tape will make a very poor movie. The filter settings cleaned it up very well. Then I encoded with TMPGEnc.
I don't want to have to go through filter hell everytime I caputre, so I am thinking of purchasing a
I have a S-Video cable that came with dazzle, but I see other S-Video cables selling with ( multi-strand copper center conductors, double shielding with braid and foil, precision-machined connectors with molded 24k gold-plated contacts etc.). Does all that substantually improve the signal as oppose to composite cable? Will it be a worthy purchase....
Well S-Video has Much cleaner Signal so you should get Some Improved Quality from that..Right now all I have to capture is a Cheap BT878 Card and I used to use these Cheap RCA Cables that were Like 20 years old to capture and it Just looked really Bad and I allmost gave up on it But then I got some Gold plated double insulated RCA Cables that cost $30 for 3 feet and the Signal Quality Greatly Increased and My Captures were Much better ,Now I got an ATI AIW Raedeon 8500DV that will be here Next week so I can"t wait to see how well My captures Improove, So I would say That The Quality of the Cables you use while captureing are Very important to the Quality of a Capture..
I agree about the cables. I have a lot of Hi Fi and Video equipment worth thousands and the cables I use with it cost more than some of the regular Hi Fi equipment you can buy in High street shops. For instance my speaker cable is $10 per metre and makes a noticible difference compared to the standard supplied rubbish.
Quality cables definitely do make a difference to sound and vision. Remember the cable is the connection between the output and the input and no matter how good the source or the recieving equipment is, if the connection between the two is bad then quality is going to be degraded.
People often don't realise how important the cable is. Cables such as scart leads aren't all made equal. High quality Scarts make colors more vibrant, pictures are sharper and less noisy.
Cables supplied in the box with equipment are very rarely of any decent quality. What's the point of buying a high quality piece of equpiment and suppling crap cables. I'd rather the cables weren't supplied and this was then reflected in the price of the equipment, so I could then go and buy my own.
S-Video cables and an SVHS VCR will probably NOT help unless the source is component (SVHS or Hi8). In fact it could be worst, depending on the VCR.
You need to decide where is the best place to decode the composite signal. A decent capture card should have a better comb filter than most SVHS VCRs since those VCRs are really intended for playing component tapes. Data-Video TBCs also have an excellent comb filter.
Many SVHS VCRs today put a lot of really crappy and unresponsive digital processing in the chain (JVC). Mitsubishi's hard to find models give the best result but I still use composite output through a TBC when capturing from VHS.
The most critical item to sucessful capture is an outboard color corrector (Sima, etc.) In concert with the VirtualDub histogram display this lets you prevent clipping and also allows settings to be tweaked DURING a capture.
As for cabling, composite video over 75 ohm cable is a studio quality format even for long distances assuming a decent level of connector/wire quality. At 6 ft or less, almost any cable has no loss.
Minion, congrats on the 8500DV. Captures should come out perfect and the tuner is awesome, especially with a clean cable signal. Be sure to try 15Mbs Mpeg capture as an aquisition format for long captures.
You gotta be joking. I know this NOT to be true. Ordinary cable has high resistence and high inductance which can dramatically reduce high frequency signal loss.
It's not just the loss which is a factor, but factors such as noise induction and magnectic influences from other sources. High quality cables also have lower capacitance than ordinary cables to ensure good clean color reproduction.
All in all a good quality shielded cable will mantain the quality of a signal.
I have tested many cables in my time with my equipment and I know for a fact cheap cables DO NOT cut it at any length no matter how short.
Most of my cables are less than a 2 metres long and even at this length they DO make a difference. I don't pay $100 for a pair of cables for nothing.
The cable is an important factor in any any equipment so why compromise a good clean signal by transfering it over cheap quality crap.

This should read:

i got the Your program that evry1 say its the "best" so i use : p4 2.4 512 ddr
asus board so.. when i use your TMPG like the Wizad syle i use : es/system
after along time of Rendering the End Is NO SOUND AT ALL not in the mpeg and not in the wav. I capture from Dazzle and on there prog its work and all off the prog. i use ? SO WHY IN THIS WORLD THERE IS NO SOUND AFTER I FINISH RENDERING !!!! i got the last ver and no other ver i use its work and i took
MPEG-2 and want 2 Encode its bitrate from 4000 to 2000
plz if u say your prog can do the audio just say so i dont spent any money on it
ok...tmpg doesnt do certain types of audio
just extract the audio to wav with virtualdub...use full processing mode in audio setting
then insert audio an video seperatly in tmpg
Are you making sure the audio field is filled when loading your file?
If not this is your problem and you may have to extract the audio to a wav file first.
hi all hope someone can help me on this one,when i have a avi file and encode it through tmpgenc.the sounds gone out of sync and towards the end of the film it keeps freezing.im using nimo codecs and ulead to put the mpeg on a vcd. thankyou for any replys
u dont say wot source file is....probally xvid
close wizard....go to option/enviromental settings/vfapi plugins
find direct show...right click on it an pick higher priority
keep doin this till it raises it to 2
then encode....but do not u wizard at this point or it will bypass direct show
Hi
During my troubles encoding (now sorted) I finished encoding from .avi to .mpg (or so I thought)but ended up with an .01 file I know this is listed a WinPhone book file and realise it was because I didn't set output file correctly, but what use is an .01 or even .02 ?
Info appreciated
Jo
TMPG doesn't create files with these extensions. These extensions don't relate to anything and I don't really know how you have ended up with them unless you specifically gave the file these extensions.
Just rename the files to .MPG
I have a ? for you guys. I am trying to convert avi's to mpeg's and I get an error message that says unsupported format. WHen I set direct show Multimedia file reader to 1 or 2 i get the send error report to microsoft. THen I tried opening it in media player and it says codecs error. I have divx 5.03 installed. How do you know if the codes stuff is installed. Really would like this to work. Thanks for the help.
Every File has a Codec to decode it so you have to find out what codec the AVI file was encoded with then install that codec..But if this File is one you downloaded off the Net and have never been able to watch it cuz you keep getting an error then there Might be something wrong with the avi file..This is Very common with Downloaded files..But first find out what codec it was encoded to and install that Codec......
Ok I am a newbie at this so please bear with me. If I use the FFDshow do I need to use the PMPGEnc to or will that program do the conversion. I am new to the codecs stuff and very unsure. When I first started doing this it went great. I thought no problem. Then I got a wakeup call. Thanks to all for the help
So then when you open FFDshow does it open the file and then open the TMPGEnc program or do you open them together. Just want to be sure how to to this so I do it right and dont have to write for any more help. LOL
To open any media file such as an AVI in software such TMPG there has to a codec installed for that type of file.
The software uses the codec to decode the media file. Without it the file would cause an error. Once the codec is installed the software will automatically use whichever codec it needs to open the file. You DONT have to select it your self.
FFDSHOW is a codec. Once installed TMPG will use it automatically. All you have to do is load your AVI into TMPG and thats it. OK?
OK, I downloaded FFDSHOW, now what's to install? Put it in the same folder as TMPG? All of a sudden I'm getting errors when I attempt to load avi's and start the conversion. The program crashes and shuts down.
By the way: Do you have any idea why my PC almost every time I encode into mpeg2 with tmpegenc freezes at some point during the process (to encode 1 hour of avi takes me roughly 8-12 hours normally). My operating system is win 2000.
Before I used to encode directly from the DVD burning programm which came with the DVD burner. The quality of mpeg2s was shit, but at least the computer did not freeze during the process.

I sit here on my rattling old 550mhz 9GB 128RAM W98SE and it can take me 12 hours overnight to encode an hours worth of .avi to mpg :(
Even then I have to close everything running in the background and leave it untouched while it plods through process.
Jo
Matt, the speed of encoding depends on your system and encoding in a couple of hours takes a fast system.
A P3 500 would take about 10 hours or more to encode a movie whereas a P4 1.7 takes about 2 hours.
Tom, you may just need to increase the priority of relative plugin in the VFAPI plugins. Increase the priority of the directshow reader to '2' and install FFDSHOW. http://cutka.szm.sk/index.html
Well you Can"t..If useing WAV audio for the audio to make a DVD your Authoring program has to support loading the audio and Video seperately into the Authoring Program..If you want to make a DVD Compliant Mpeg 2 file you will have to use Mp2 audio in the File..Most Higher quality authoring Programs support loading the audio and video seperately...
This might be a stupid question, but can you burn dvd-r's off of a reguler cd-burner? I just got into burning movie's so I was jus' wondering. Thank's!
if you are downloading movies, and u want to view them on ure dvd player, you have to split the file if it is less than the capacity of your cd accordingly.
Then use nero to burn the mpg files onto vcd. If you still are not sure, you can learn everything u need to know at : http://www.dvdrhelp.com
Your right it is a bit of a daft question. If we could burn DVDr's on regular burners I think we'd all be doing it.
I'm afraid your gonna have to shell out a couple of hundred if you wanna burn DVD's.
