Hi there

when I cut my mpeg2 (dbox stream) with the cut and merge tool e.g. I cut out the beginning and the end of this mpeg2 file to have the exact movie the frames are not cutted at the marked position. It seems that the program cuts about 2 seconds later at the start-mark and the end-mark. I think i have the newest version. Using an Athlon XP2400+

tkx for answering

TMPG gives .vdr this "divided by 0" error now when i try to framserver an avi file.

I have been doing this for a while but then it suddenly gave me this error, will it because of a new codec installed or lack of it?

Thanks

i have this problem only with divx5.1/5.1.1-avi-files!

Is it possible to turn a PAL to NTSC format?? Or a PAL into vcd (ntsc) format.

I think you should learn to put a proper subject line first.

Penis poop. The gazizzle sir wing-bang doodoo foreskins.
Grommettizers are painful blue farting vaginas, so try to wear an enema when the video has no butthairs.

Hope this helps...

PS-- The codecs are all mine!!! pooyou

Exactly....

I started looking at the other forums here. There's three that I see. I don't see that the software authors venture to look at what's going on here. Questions are asked, and maybe some odd user may offer a suggestion.

So far, I have only seen ONE response from the software authors. This forum is a total waste of time for someone that wants an answer to a problem. I haven't e-mailed "tech support" yet, I would only hope that the response would be better.

I did get good response when registering and using a credit card. So the sales department is sharp. Marketing dept. needs fixing along with the support group.

How about it? Are you too busy processing credit card transactions to help folks here? I do have a sour attitude and it would be much better if the authors would be more active in answering questions.

I quite agree with you.I have had two emails back from their support telling me I have a problem with my internet connection!!!! I am on line with files going and coming in everyday and these guys tell me that there is something wrong with my connection.

And I see there's still no answer to your question earlier.

Maybe they all went on holiday in celebration of giving us this forum?

The DVD is Farscape, Season 2 Volume 3, disc B.

It's the first disc in the series' DVD history that has three titles on it, it is the "Look at the Princess" trilogy.

The second movie on the disc is title 11.

TMPGEnc DVD Author will *NOT* read it correctly. Even if it is re-encoded by other DVD authoring softwares at 100% (I've tried two: Clone DVD; and DVD Shrink).

Each time it reads the title, which is over 46 minutes in length, to 00:19:33;14 but will not go any further. It assumes that is the end of the title.

Needless to say, it's wrong.

If I use TMPGenc's Inverse Telecine feature, and then encode at a frame rate of 23.976, I get the same file size as when I do NOT use the IVTC feature and encode at 29.97. I use the same bitrate and encoding format (CBR) for both. (I tried encoding at 23.976 both with and without the pulldown flag).

I was expecting to see a file size that was 23.976/29.97 = 80% of the original size. I was then going to increase the bitrate to get the file size back up to the same as the 29.97 encode, thus getting not only the quality increase from encoding the intermediate blended frames created by the telecine process, but also by encoding fewer frames.

Why doesn't the file size get smaller when using IVTC??

Well it's obvious really.
It doesn't matter what frame rate you use the file size will always remain constant if you use CBR encoding methods.

For example 1500 kilobits a second is 1500 kilobits a second regardless of the resolution, frame rate or anything else.

The only factor that will determine the file size when using the same CBR bit rate is the length of the source.

Also you do realise creating an MPEG of 23.976 fps is not a legal frame rate for NTSC VCD/SVCD/DVD?

Another point to bear in mind is that there are no real extra frames in telecined material. Just flags to tell the decoder to add the frames during playback. This is why the file size doesn't change in the telecined material compared to the original progressive material.

When I am attempting to convert other .mpg & .avi files, I have been receiving a p3.dll & p4.dll error when it is about 1/2 way done. This did not use to occur. What can I do to make it stop? I have attempted reloading the program...as well as making a copy of the p3 & p4 drivers into my system32 folder...and that still does not work. I am currently using Windows XP OS. Could there be something clashing with these drivers?

Thank you for any help on this.

Go ahead and use the search feature if you want. It won't bite I promise.

What's the deal here? I installed the trial version on two seperate computers. BOTH pop up with the trial has expired. My God, I get an e-mail advertising a new trial version and it's already expired when I install it one day later.

I see that I'm not the only one to experience this. This does not bode well for credibility.

Two days later, I try to launch the program. This time it gets the license information correctly and the Trial is to begin.

I am in no way impressed that it is working after two days. IF I were to BUY this program and had to wait days to use it, when I wanted to use it, I would be very pissed off.

I asked this in another thread and I'll ask it here again.

What happens if Pegasys loses it's internet service? This could be caused from one of a million or so reasons. Maybe a disgruntled employee, a virus, a hacker, poor economy, the list goes on. If this license call back fails, the software stops working.

Maybe it's permanent. Maybe it's a delay of 6 hours. Or 6 days. Can you afford to spend your money on with this kind of risk? Can you afford to delay your work because the license won't access the update site?

This information should be more widely available. Not many people are aware that this BBS is even here.

Looks like this periodic licensing could be the demise of TMPGenc as the encoder of choice. At least I'll be able to author the DVD's I create with CCE and MainConcept with the TMPGenc DVD Author.
The makers of TMPGEnc Xpress 3.0 should also visit the forums at www.videohelp.com for more feedback on the periodic license debacle.

I agree, periodic license renewal will kill the product
I own lots of software that prevents sharing of license key, such as WinXP Pro, it does not require periodic license activation.

Hello guys, for example if you download a movie off the internet that has audio problems such as a muffled sound and hissing is there a way to clean the audio up with TMPGEnc????

Thanks in advance for your help guys!

No, you need an audio editor such as Goldwave or Cooledit(recommended).

Thanks Ashy i will try those!

I have some old Movie Shaker files that I have saved as .avi files. I am wondering if I can use TMPGEnc to convert the files into a format that can be imported to Studio 9 from Pinnacle. When I run the conversion on a small sample file, I get a .m2v file and a .wav file; however, I have no clue how to get this to a Pinnacle format. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am encoding an .avi file that I digitized from a VHS tape. The encoded file will be greater than 4.7 gig so will not fit on one DVD blank. What process should I use to break the resultant .m2v file into to parts so that I can burn 2 DVDs?

How long is the AVI?
If it's around the 2hr mark then you should be able to fit this no problem on one disk with great quality using VBR mode.
However, if you must split it you can either use the source range function to split it while encoding or split it after encoding with the MPEG tools.

Unless this AVI is very long you must have your bitrate set too high for it to be larger than 4.7GB (actually 4.37GB)
I think you're gonna find it unecessary to split it to 2 disks especially seeing as it is captured from a low quality source such as VHS anyway.

Thanks for the feedback.
