I get an error message when converting wav/audio + mpg/video, it says 'scanline out of range' and I don't know how to fix it. It doesn't happen with all files but with some. Any ideas? Thanks!

I meant avi/video, sorry. ;-)

The file I avi I want to encode is from a TV broadcast. The frame rate for the file is 23 fps. This is the same frame rate that the NTSC Film says it will encode.

Isn't NTSC Film the standard for Motion pictures and not Television broadcast?

Should I encode in NTSC format instead? This is for a VCD.

Hi Darkhawk.
Sorry for taking so long to answer your question. I haven't been here in quite some time.
Yes, NTSC Film is the standard for Motion pictures and not Television broadcast. Load the "VideoCD (NTSC).mcf" format from the templates directory. It should be fine. I have never had a problem with it.
I hope that is of help to you.

Hi there !

Is there any equivalent or import possibility in AviSynth for the TMPGEnc filter called "Simple Color Correction" ?

Thanks !

I really like using the TMPGEnc MPEG Tools (found in File menu). However it only can do one task at a time. I was wondering if we can request for a batch queue. So we can set up more than 1 (eg. 5 simple multiplex) in a batch queue then start all.

That would be better.

TMPGEnc is the best MPEG1/2 encoder in the world!!

PS: is there a difference between TMPGEnc and TPMPGEnc and TMPEGEnc? I've seen these 3 names mentioned all the time in various places.

I'm another Kevin who would also like to see the same feature of batch MPEG tools.

Regarding TMPGEnc and TPMPGEnc and TMPEGEnc....pretty sure its just typos. The program name is hard to type as it can't be pronounced.

hello all, have a big problem i hope you can help me with.

I have xvid avi. I have no problems loading it however the file size goes up 3 times. I have read that you need to increase the directshow filter. I did that and it corrected the problem of the file size.

Now i have a problem that the final result is jittery. So i went back and reset the enviroment and the result was a long file that was not jummpy. It seems that when the directshow filter is raised to 1 then TMPengc wants to change it from a film to video.

This is driving me crazy! Right now either i get a long file that is unusable or a jumpy one. Can you please help!

I process large batches at night using TMPGEnc Plus 2.521. Sometimes these batches fail during the night. I need the encode log to be emailed to me everytime it saves the encode log to file automatically. Other programs have this feature but it doesn't appear to be in Tsunami. That leaves me with the option to learn Windows scripting to try and auto-generate emails or paying someone for their programming expertise. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

What I have read thus far on the problem of extracting VBR audio from AVI, converting that audio, recombining it with the video, and burning a working DVD that will actually play in a DVD player and display on my TV, is very vague at best.

Can someone direct me to a comprehensive howto manual?

Thanks,

Sam

Hey Sam,

Are you just wanting a basic how-to for Tsunami? There's a good one here: http://www.theunlocker.co.uk/tutorials/dvd_tutorial/divx_to_dvd.php

They use Tsunami DVD Author. I prefer DVDlab Pro but to each his own.

I noticed your homepage is for an Alex Jones flick. Do you know Alex or is it just a tribute? I was cameraman on his Martial Law 9/11 film. Fun stuff.

I have just applied TPMGEnc (using Merge & Cut)to join two 5GB VOB files (from home movie DVDs)and convert them to MPEG-2. The result? Video works ok, but no sound. Is there something else I should have done? Can anybody advise me on the correct settings? Many thanks.

You've not done anything wrong, but the .vob files probably have Dolby Digital AC3 audio in them. If so TMPGEnc won't work as it doesn't support that audio codec. Use DeMultiplex feature to see the audio codec.

Reply back with the audio codec and I'll tell you what to do.

P.S. How did you extract the VOB files from the DVD?

hi,everybody

i have a question?

if i want to convert a avi film to mpeg2 with tmpgenc,

can i use ffdshow--configuration--resize&aspect setting to upscale

the film with tmpgenc?

is it possible?

if it is,how should i set ffdshow and tmpgenc

anyone can tell me?or give me link about this

thank u.

You don't need ffdshow. All you need is TMPGEnc to convert an AVI film to MPEG2
The quality of the finished product will depend entirely upon the quality of the original AVI film.

thank u,john
thank u for your reply

Have a downloaded avi file which plays fine in Windows Media Player.

However, when I try to import this same file into Adobe Premiere Elements or TMPGEnc, it shows as an audio-only file.

Any idea on how to convert this avi file to DVD format to watch on my TV?

I have the same problem using TMPGEnc free version

You probably have a weird video codec that only Windows Media Player can understand. Use the program from http://avicodec.duby.info/ to find out the codecs and post them here. I'll try and help.

Hi! I've converted anime AVI to MPEG and everything looks fine when I preview everything but once I burn into VCD and play on the tv, the subtitles are cut off at the bottom of the screen. I only see the tops of the letters. I've used 1:1 (VGA) with Full Screen and also 4:3 with Full Screen. What am I doing wrong?

Try using "Full Screen (keep aspect ratio 2)"

Be careful to check the size of the VDO. It depends on TV standard. For NTSC or FILM VCD you need 352x240 for PAL it's 352x288. So if you've made a PAL disc and are playing it back on an NTSC player/TV you lose some of the screen.

Not everywhere conforms to or likes US standards.

Hi there,
I am working with the trial version and have imported an uncompressed AVI video file and a WAV audio file. When i tell it to encode it comes up with the error message AN ERROR OCCURRED WHEN ACN WAS INITIALSIED. Any clues as to what this means?

Many thanks,
RubyMiller
