I have pretty much mastered the process of burning video disks that play on y brand new panasonic dvd/vcr combo. But i have been trying to gt the whole movie on one disk with a template i found using the unlock feature and making y9our own wizard file. By adjusting the bitrate settings you can decrease the file size to fit, but i suggest not going down past 800 bps. Mt problem is that i have Easy cd creator 5 platinum with updates, and the ONLY PROBLEM before burning is my system clock reference is off. Does anybody know of a setting in TMPGenc that has a way to fix the system clock reference? Or should i just say piss on making one disk movies and split them in 2?
I WANT 1 DISK VIDEO DISKS, and I HAVE SEEN THEM BEFORE made by other people.
Should I just get Nero Instead?
I searched past posts and found that i might need to use simple multiplex to fix the prob, but if not i will get either vcd easy or nero, i just like easy cd creator, the darn thing does everything, and it isnt the programs fault it likes to stick to standards. Other disks i have burned with it play FLAWLESSLY
The Call it "Easy CD Creamator" in CD/VCD burning circles cuz it is such a Piece of Crap like Most if not ALL Roxio Software, But if it works for you More power to you, But I don"t know how you can stand watching a VCD with Such a Low bitrate But I guess to each his own..Cheers
Do yourself a big favor and dump that crap from Roxio. This program is for complete amatuers and isn't intended for anything else. As for sticking to standards well if you want to use it then you will have to stick to standards.
As for the clock reference error this is usually because you have not added the correct VCD header to your MPEG file. Running this file through the simple multiplexer using the 'MPEG1 VCD' setting should fix it, but if not go get NERO which is by far the best burning program there is and should solve your problem.
When I edit the source range and click ok it gives me an error saying "Invalid Pointer Operation", and SOMETIMES it wont let me encode anything. Any help?
Is there a tool to positively identify whether a file has been encoded
as interlaced or progressive? I generally use GSpot to identify the rest of
the items but cannot find anything on the above.
Generally you should be able to tell by Just watching it with something like Media Player, Media Player doesn"t de-interlace interlaced content so you should notice a horrible combing effect when something moves....
Tmpgenc will analize the File when you load your file into it and set it to Interlaced or progressive and if it is interlaced it will set the correct field order, But it will only do this if you use the Wizard....

Hi Everyone... I am really confused on the correct process for fileserving thru encoding a SVCD. I am using the following programs:
SmartRipper
DVD2AVI
FitCD (Bitrate Calculator)
TMPGEnc Plus (Registered)
When using DVD2AVI and the Preview says: Frame Rate is 29.97, Video Type is FILM, Frame Type is Progressive. Should I use the "Force Film" option? Or when I encode should I use "Inverse Telecine" instead? Is the video NTSC cause the framerate= 29.97 or would the video be FILM cause the "Video Type" = FILM?
Ok... What if in DVD2AVI the preview says everything from above but it reports the Video Type as FILM 95% should I still use the "Forced Film" Option? Or again... should I leave this option disabled and use "Inverse Telecine" instead? I have noticed that when I leave the "Forced Film" option disabled and then fileserv the files when I get to the encoding stage and use the "Inverse Telecine" that sometimes you can still see some horizontal lines where the original "Telecine" lines were. I have read 4 articles on the web but none of them really explain when to use "Forced Film" and most of the articles only explain the PAL system. Is there a step by step article that can explain the proper way to Fileserv and Encode these types of NTSC, FILM, and FILM95%?
That brings me to another question... If I don't use the "Forced Film" option above when I choose my encoding settings for SVCD should I choose "NTSC", "NTSC FILM"? If I choose "NTSC" then the wizard asks me if the movie is "Video", "Film", or "Video and Film" So is it Film? Is it really Video? Or is it combined. LOL
I'm sure I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill. All I want to do is make a High Quality SVCD Backup!
P.S. Ashy or Minion... If you guys have a detailed step by step txt file that I can download from you guys that would be GREAT!
DVD2AVI should not be displaying the File as Progressive Unless the "Forced Film" is selected,Because at 29.97fps it is Interlaced and at 23.97fps it is Progressive..What Many Poeple Do is if DVD2AVI says it is Film then Use the "Forced Film" option and encode it as a 23.97fps NTSC Film File and After encodeing use a little Program called "Pulldown.exe" which will convert the file to 29.97fps Interlaced..This works Fine For most poeple but with Me for some reason any Interlaced Movie I do allways ends up with a really bad Combing effect when Played on my TV so I am forced to Encode at 29.97fps and Use a High Quality Deinterlace filter to remove the interlace artifacts, I usually use the Telecide command for the Decomb.dll filter for AVISynth , it seems to only remove the Combing artifacts without affecting the picture Quality..But I"m sure Pulldown.exe should work fine for anyone else...
Qdesign mp2 codec - (Included in Tsunami filter pack, full version) Very High quality fast mp2 encoder which can be used with any suitable windows encoding application. TMPG can be used to encode wavs to Mp2 with this codec or use this application. http://www.geocities.com/f_pixel/exemples/acmao11.zip
I have the same problem. Are you using a file created by Pinnacle Studio Software using the MJPEG codec of the DC10+ videoboard?? Since that is the problem no one can give any solution. I hope mr. Hori is reading this and provide us with a solution !!!!
You most likely have an AVI 1 format and need to convert to 2. or just the oposite.there is a way to convert these files but I use Media Studio Pro to do so and am not sure of what you might use in the way of freeware or shareware.
I had the same problem with TMPGE until I bought a CD-R/RW that included Nero Software that has the necessary software/codecs required to convert to MPEG1 FORMAT. Haven't had a problem since. FYI- The Nero software is Nero 5.5.8.13
good luck!

LOL... you do realise that the VCD files you are creating are using NERO's internal encoder and produces absolutely awful quality VCD movies.
TMPG is the best and highest quality MPEG1 encoder there is and NERO doesn't even come close. NERO is a good burning program but forget it for encoding to VCD.
Do yourself a favor learn how to use TMPG and stop using NERO to encode crap VCD movies.
>I'm attempting to encode a .AVI file to .MPG, but when I push "start" an error comes up that says the mpg file cannot be created
As for this error, this is usually because you are trying to write to a drive which doesn't have enough space or your drive which is set as the Temp drive in TMPG doesn't have enough space.
DO NOT try and encode the AVI directly from a CDR. Copy it to your hardrive first then encode.
Also make sure the output name is not the same as the input. For example an input with a name such as C:moviesfile1.mpg and an output of C:moviesfile1.mpg will cause this error.
If you can see the movie in the preview, File>Preview then it must be a problem with your output settings and not a decoding problem as suggested above.
I recently downloaded many .avi's but none of them had audio while few others (from the same series) did. I tried to play with divx decoder and windows media but with no audio still. These no audio avi's are the same size as the ones that do have audio so I'm sure its not the file. What may be wrong?
How do I make the audio go at the same speed as the video because sometimes the lips move but theres no sound or theres talking but there is a fight scene on.
It sounds like you have A bad Sync problem, Look for a Tutorial on Fixing Sync Problems, there are Quaite a few steps involved and many different methods for fixing sync problems depending on what type of sync problem it is, so it would take a Lot of in depth explaining to tell you how to fix it here, But I"m sure there is information on DVDrHelp.com that should help you...
First of all try converting the entire movie without splitting. Otherwise, it may be a problem with the cd media. Some dvd players can only read cd with certain dyes.
I don"t exactly know what you mean..Do you mean that you just want to change the Color of your File without haveing ro re-encode the file?? Well you can"t, Anytime you take one file and want to change it in any way you have to re-render the file ...
Is it possible to use the excellent MPEG Tools that are build into TMPGEnc from the command line?? (ie. TMPGEnc.exe /multiplex video.m2v audio.mp2 output.mpeg)
If not - it is possible to que/batch "MPEG Tools" jobs?
If not - it there another tool from Pegasys (or another company) that offers this feature?
