hi.
it is my first time, i want to create a vcd movie with tmpgenc, but I cant,when I open the program this ask me that i chose the option , I chose video movie then it ask me the file that i want to convert a mpeg file, I select the original movie (dvd drive d.) and in the screen appears many files video ts, audio ts and others, I dont know what I must to do.
could you somebody explain me, how this programm works
and if is possible to copy dvd and convert them a vcd with tmepg and vcdeasy

what i must do first

thanks.

TMPG is NOT an all in one DVD to VCD solution. It is simply an encoder. You will need some other programs to do this.

You can find guides how to do this with TMPG at DVDrhelp.com

Hello there!

I'm using TMPGEnc to demux an mpeg2 stream that I have on a DVD.

I am using the Demultiplex function, and navigate to my VOB, and then begin the process.

I have gotton the full .ac3 file (5 minutes) but only the first of 3 video files. (All the audio is there, just no video).

Any idea what I can do to get the complete video file?

Thanks,

Megan

If you want to demux VOBs you should use VOBEDIT.
This program will either demux individual VOBs or the whole set to complete seperate files.

Hi all

Maybe do you know why a have "classFactory could not found the codec" to read an avi file. I did this avi file with vfapi. its a fake avi made from a d2v file made by dvd2avi.

What i need to read this avi file?

thanx

I have made several projects with Author but for some reason now when I go to edit a clip in a project I get an error message "cannot initialize DirectSound"
and when I click ok and go into the edit screen all the options are greyed out and I cannot do anything. I have never had any problem before, any ideas what could cause this?

I just downloaded TMPGEnc and I tried to convert a .avi to a .mpg file and when I played it the sound worked fine but the video is just black (and sometimes flickers green) so I can't see the picture. Did I do something wrong?

Hello, I am new to the world of dvd authoring but I have managed to successfully create episodic dvds with new menus using TMPGEnc Authoring program. My question is, what exactly is this plug-in used for? My free trial period is ending and I intend to purchase the authoring program but I have noticed a special price for buying both. In layman terms, can someone explain to me the benefit for the AC-3 plug-in. Thanks.

AC-3 sound is Dolby Digital 2.0 (stereo) and is the most universal sound system in use.

Alternatives are:

LPCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation) which is also recognised by all players as part of the DVD standard, but not being compressed takes up a lot more space than an equivalent AC-3 file would.

MP2 (Mpeg layer 2) which is only standard on European players, though many US players can also handle it (not to be confused with MP3 files which are different again).

The reason it costs for an AC-3 plug in is that the authors have to pay Dolby Labs for a license to use their name and compression algorithm.

Finally, the reason you would want it, is that because you can derive sound files of the same quality, but much smaller in size, you can then devote more space on your target DVD to video, for example by increasing its sampling rate to get better quality.

I would like to be able to add a second audio track to my home vides. This way I could make commentary tracks that are included in my home videos that will expand on whatÃÔ going on in the videos I take at parks and parties. I would defiantly purchase a copy of TMPGEnc DVD if it supported a second audio track. Are there any plans to incorporate this feature anytime soon?

Thank You

Hello.. everybody say use file serving to fix problem with ntdll.dll but what is that.. I have VirtuaDub but i dont know how to do fileserving

It is called frame serving....

To do frame serving in virtual dub, go into the virtual dub folder and open auxsetup.exe
Here is a link that explains it:
http://www.dvdrhelp.com/virtualdubframeserve.htm

I prefer to frame serve using AviSynth rather then virtual dub. Head over to www.avisynth.org to download it. It comes with much ducumentaion to explain how to use it.

What's the difference?

Hi TMPGEnc-User!

I start TMpeg with the options /batch and /close it will display the result log after encoding and waits for me to OK it.

After that it will close as expected.

I think if you want it to close you don't want to say OK before, do you ?

Is there an option to skip this log (as Tmpeg does when selecting "shutdown" manually)?

Or is there a commandline option to shutdown?

- i use the TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 Version 2.521.58.169-Plus-EN (buyed & regged)

Using tmpg (trail version), i've built the dvd video and menu. When i play the files (via laptop/powerDVD) the menu has large noisy horizontal stripes through it! I can still access/see the chapters and film ok, and they view/play cleanly as expected .... (The background has an image from the mpeg and has replaced the original on the template) ....any ideas anyone ??

Maybe your Background is from a interlaced Movie?

i have since found out thar the problem is also occuring with original menu templates....mmmmm

i was the powerDVD causing the problems, i solved it by changing one of the settings !

I had this problem on the DVD I burned that had the sync issues, but it appeared during the video playback. See the recent "sync" thread for details about my setup and the source file.

Hi i am new at this but i used TMPGEnc few times and now i cant use it because i am getting all the time same error with ntdll.dll before converting..

ok hold on i am trying to find it first in this huge posting database

1: Ok i just found that i should serve that file with VirtuaDub to TMPGEnc.
2: I found that every thought that problem is in XviD videos. I dont think so bacause.. i have this problem with DivX video
3: And what is strange i have this problem with same videos that i already converted before (so it was working yesterday) But not today.
4: I think this is very IMPORTANT PROBLEM. so i think you should Put it to FAQ

You could try to install ffdshow and use it to decode your divx and xvid files. Using it seems to fix the ntdll.dll error.
