Every time a create an MPG file converting from my uncompressed avi file the picture is great but the audio just comes out sounding really flat and canny for some reason no matter how much I increase the audio bitrate or quality. HELP ME PLEASE :)

MATT

This is Probably from Crappy sample Rate conversions, set the Sample Rate converter to "High Quality" OR you can just use a Totally seperate Program to encode the Audio to Mpeg audio, This is What I do with allmost all the Audio I encode Cuz Most encoders don"t have Very good audio encoders and Sample rate converters....

i have this weird problem. im trying to open the vid i converted and cut it with mpeg tools. when i opened the edit windows a message popped up saying "Could not open this file with DirectShow". (0x80040111) and underneath that it says Detail: and a bunch of weird symbols. Any idea wats wrong here?

Is it a Mpeg2 file??? If it is then you Probably need to Install the Correct Mpeg2 decoders for Tmpgenc to decode the File ,you need either the "Ligos Mpeg2 decoder" or the "Cyberlink Mpeg2 decoder" installed, if you install "Power DVD" then it will install a Mpeg2 decoder...

ya its mpeg2 and i already have powerdvd. i'll try somthing with the nimo codec.

Well you Just might need to raise the Priority of your "Cyberlink Mpeg2 decoder" in the Vfapi Plugins...But Tmpgenc"s Editor isn"t the Most reliable editor and if you used VBR or even if you didn"t there is a Good Chance that the second Part of the Mpeg2 file you edit will end up out of sync, that is why it is good to have a Good Mpeg editor like "Womble Mpeg2VCR" I have never had a Single sync Problem with it and it can fix Sync Problems....

Just started using TMPGEnc. First five or so avi files converted perfectly. Now I get an error message saying can't open or not supported. The only thing different is the first ones were downloaded to my hard drive and then converted the rest I copied from my pc to a cd and then later copied back to pc. Never changed format files are still avi. They will play fine in media player and nero will convert them. Any ideas??

Go To "Options" to "Enviromental settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct Show" to "2"...

When I do this i get this message (TMPGEnc.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.) Then it shuts down. Any more suggestions????

I just tried other avi's. With default settings it will open some and not others. I'm stumped..

Well there Could be something wrong with the Files, If they are Downloaded off of the net then that could very well be the case as Downloaded files can get Corrupted through downloading...and sometimes Installing the "FFDShow Decoder" will help with these Problems especially if the Files are DivX/XviD/Mpeg-4 Files, give it a Shot!! and you can allways try frameserveing the File to Tmpgenc this sometimes helps also...

What is FFDShow Decoder and where do I get it? Is it part of TMPGEnc or is it a seperate program?

Frank have you sorted out this problem because I`m having exactly the same problem, only I can`t change the priority setting in environmental fields, how do you do that..

thanks in advance

No I have not figured it out. To changed the settings If you highlight the item and right click on it you can raise or lower the priority.

FFDShow is a seperate Codec/Filter, Just go to Google and Type in "FFDShow" and download it...

Downloaded and installed FFDShow. What do I do with it now? Do I need to link it with TMPGEnc somehow or what? If it works on its own , how do I use it?

After installing FDDShow and setting Direst Show Multimedia file reader to 2 it seems to work. Now I have another problem.... Media Player has no video for any file avi,mpg, or any. What do I need to do to get the video back???

Maybe try opening the FFDshow Configuration dialog and Maybe try disableing the Format that you want to play in Media Player, and when you need to encode that format then enable that format...I don"t know if it will work but it is worth a Try, But for Mpeg files Media Player isn"t the best, you should use dvd playing software like "Power DVD"..And whatever you do DONT install "Media Player 9" cuz this can cause Big problems in Tmpgenc and many other Codec dependant Programs....

If I disable all codecs in FFDShow Media Player works fine. Thanks for the warning about Media Player 9 ...but too late I installed it several weeks ago and it did something to my restore program and I can't get rid of it. However everything seems to work now. I haven't tried to do a Xvid yet in TMPGEnc but hopefully it will work too. One last question - Can I split Xvids and if so how?

Thanks for all of your help.
Couldn't have done it without you.

I know there are hundreds discussions already about this problem but I still have few questions on the issue.

Here is the process:
1. The DV file is captured using the Scenalizer tool
2. I edit the AVI file using the Ulead Media Studio Pro (6.0 or 7.0)
3. Once completed I create the new AVI file (in standard NTSC format)
4. I'll take the AVI file and process it through the TMPGEnc configured to produce the HQ DVD file. I use ES (video+audio) option of the encoder to produce separate m2v and mp2 file. My Audio Engine is set to use Toolame.exe program and the Sampling Frequency Convertor is pointing the SSRC. The Audio settings are set to 48000 (sampling frequency) and 224 (bitrate). Now during the first phase of the TMPGEnc run it extracts the audio data from the AVI file. Since I'm using the Toolame.exe the first produced is the .WAV file which is then converted into the MP2 file. The WAV file is created in the Temporary folder and I copy it for future use (this way at the end I have MP2 file as well as the WAV file stored).
5. I'll take the WAV file (or MP2) and run it through the BeeSweet to create the AC3 audio file.
6. Finally I use the Ulead Movie Factory authoring software to combine all this together. And here is the problem the VIDEO is OUT OF SYNC with AUDIO. Audio is too fast by a second or so.

I looked at the video and audio file length and they differ by 5ms. So it would suggest that I should be able to delay the Audio (in BeeSweet) by 5ms and everything should be great. Well this is not the case. I need to set the delay to about 2500ms in order to get the picture and sound in sync. Any idea why?
I'm looking for some more settle solution then just try and error Eit took me few hours to find out correct delay time. Also since the reported length of the files seems to vary depending on the software I use it is quite difficult to nail it down.

Can anyone suggest anything to solve the problem or make it easier?

You need to isolate where the mismatch is being introduced. Mux the m2v/mp2 and check if it is out of sync in a software player.

Extract a WAV from the original AVI and compare its length and waveform offset to the toolame intermediate file. (Use the audio editor that comes with Media Studio Pro.)

Unless the audio is some kind of ultra high fidelity acoustic instrumental or you have overrun a file size limit, stick with the mp2 audio if that works.

I have had Many Instances of Encodeing to AC3 and had the audio go out of sync and decodeing from AC3 to Wav has caused the same Sync Problem, so Now I use a Different AC3 audio encoder which seems to have solved the Problem, I use Vegas Video 4/DVD Architect to encode the audio to AC3, or Soft encode but Vegas seems to be faster, it is also a Beter Video editor and has a Good Mpeg Encoder...There is also a Plugin that will let you encode From the Timeline in "Media Studio 6/7" directly into Tmpgenc or another encoder like CCE, From what I hear the Ulead Video server Plugin is Fairly fast and works Pretty Good and it will save Time and Quality cuz you won"t have to make an intermediate AVI file to load into Tmpgenc....

>5. I'll take the WAV file (or MP2) and run it through the BeeSweet to create the AC3 audio file.

What is the point in creating an Mp2 audio file if you are going to encode it to AC3 anyway?

>I'm looking for some more settle solution then just try and error Eit took me few hours to find out correct delay time

There is a simple way which I use all the time and is very accurate.
Simply download VirtualDub-MPEG2-AC3

Either load the muxed M2V and MP2 or load your M2V and then load your Wav audio. Choose Interleaving from the audio menu and change the delay settings.

Once you are happy with the value you have set then simply save the Wav or use the same value in Besweet.

Thank you for all suggestions but the problem still exists.

While using the VirtualDub-MPEG2-AC3 the sound is perfectly in sync.

Then I tried something different. I opend Ulead Media Studio Pro and loaded the m2v file created by TMPGEnc. Then I added the AC3 file created by BeeSweet and play the video. Everything is in sync. Then I replaced the AC3 file with a WAV file created by Toolame and all is in sync as well. I'm CONFUSED...

Next I tried to author the project I did the last night and IT IS OUT OF SYNC again (even though I'm using the AC3 file that is already delayed and it used to work).

At this point I start blaming the Ulead DVD Movie Factory. Possible?

As a test, Mux the M2V and the AC3 together with TMPG then play it to see if it's in sync.

If it's ok then download IFOEDIT (which is free) and use it to author the VOBs from the M2V and the AC3.
Select, DVD Author>Author New DVD from the menu.

Use Nero to burn the VOBs to disk.

i no this is probably a stupid question but i cant find anywhere the pass word to unzip the files. please help!!!

There is no pass word. What are you talking about? Where did you download the file?

i downloaded the file from this site. when i try to extract the files it says they are paaword protected. how can i open them???

You are mistaken, the files are not and have never been password protected.

My advice is to uninstall whatever software you are using to unzip the files and download Winrar.

I have converted an XVID to mpeg in the hope of making it VCD.
The VCD plays but has no sound.
I know it uses the AC3 audio format but I converted the audio to Wav before I converted to MPEG.
I used Virtual Dub and the tutorial at dvdrelp.com.
help please :(

I tried again but got an error
"write erroe occured at address 00401C9F of module TMPGENC.exe with 05791A04"

Then use something else to encode the Wav file to Mpeg1-Layer2 audio, then just Mux the audio with the Mpeg Video file, There are Lots of Programs that can do it, I use "Headac3he" Cuz it is Very High Quality But it is Quite slow..

I'm trying to convert a DIVX AVI to MPG1 and I get no sound at all. I've tried everything I can think of including rendering the whole thing in the Microsoft Movie Maker (so it's not DIVX but straight AVI) and then using that as the sound source.

I'm considering buying the full on package but don't want to if I can't even get sound from my files.

Doing what you are Doing isn"t going to get it done, and No Quality Mpeg encoder that I know of can decode AC3 audio so if you can"t figure out how to Extract the audio to wav audio then you won"t be Makeing Any VCD"s with Any encoder, and Downloaded Movies aren"t really meant to be Made into Mpeg files, If they were they would have a more compatible Audio Format...What you need to do is Load your Source File into something Like "Virtual Dub" and use it to extract the audio to Wav format, then Just load the Wav file into Tmpgenc and encode it to Mpeg audio then Mux the Mpeg audio with the Mpeg video that you have from when you encoded the File the First time and ended up with no audio..Or you can use a seperate Audio encoder to Encode the Wav file to Mpeg and Mux it with the Video....

F.....ng pratt!

What is this Post supposed to mean???

I have WMV file 20MB and want to make MPG. But After 20% progress, the process suddenly stop, and the TMPGEnc program like hang.

Any solutions ?

Sembako

Your WMV file Probably has an error in the File at the Point were it Freezes up, You can try to fix any errors in the File by useing a Program called "ASF Fix", it will make a New file while Correcting any errors in the File which should allow Tmpgenc to encode the Whole File...Because WMV/ASF Files are so Highly Compressed they are Very Prone to Errors caused by the High Compression and Usually this Program can help fix them, you can find it ona search engine like Google...But alas some files just can"t seem to be encoded, if this seems to be the case with this file you can try Uncompressing it to Raw AVI and encodeing that, you won"t loose Quality but you will need a Very Large Hard drive....

Try this:

When I make mpg's from my dv-avi's, sometimes the sound is half-speed. Then I
copy the avi from dv-cmera again, and make mpg again and all is fine?!!

Any solutions?

You could allways extract the audio from your DV files to WAV then use the Wav file as the audio source, This will probably fix your problem, Or you can just use a Totally seperate Program to encode the audio....

Hi!

About crashing TNPGenc, check if you have divXAF.ax file(AntiFreeze) in windows/system32 folder, just delete or rename it. It will help immediately.
That file came with Nimo Codec pack. You can use the pack, just uncheck the AntiFreeze option.

Hope this help.

I have TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 and I tried ripping my first DVD tonight. Everything was fine until I came to playback. The DVD plays in English by default, however when I ripped it, it seems to have copied the Spanish soundtrack. Not being able to speak spanish this is somewhat frustrating. I am hoping that there is a straight forward solution to this problem. I have searched every menu I could find and was unable to find the language settings. I would appreciate anyones help with this.

If you have been foolish enough and used TMPG to encode this DVD directly then it is no wonder you have this problem.
Time and time again we tell people NOT to use TMPG to directly encode from VOBS.
If you want the answer how to solve post back.

I encoded an AVI file with titles in the beginning in adobe premiere. When encoded and played on a DVD player the titles dont fade right and the audio kinda sqeeks. If I put titles over video though everything works fine. Its like TMPEG has a problem with black video. Or video with no color??? any ideas?
