I'm stuck. I have seperated the video and sound from my AVI file successfully, and the WAV i made with virtual dub plays fine on the computer. However when I use TMPGE to put them together the sound is jerky and kinda stops and starts.
What do you mean you use TMPG to put them together, how?
TMPG won't mux a wav with an MPEG.
Also how did you make the wav with Virtualdub, what settings did you use. My guess is that you don't actually have a wav at all.
I find that I can't open avs files ... tried setting DS to a high priority, and even disable every thing else only to find DS is the one to blame... I can't even open Xvid avi files with only DS enabled... this is so weird, I've been using TMPG for a long time and it's the first time i came into this problem....
I have XviD-1.0.1-05062004, FFDShow-20050803, avisynth 2.55 installed
Are you sure you've got AVIsynth installed properly.
Forget about using DS to open AVIsynth. It works better with VFW. Make the VFW plugin top priority in TMPG then enable VFW decoding for all MPEG4 codecs in FFDSHOW.
I have an urgent problem! Someone PLEASE HELP. I am making new MPEGs for my new customer. My clips are the same duration but the file size is almost twice as big. I've tried EVERYTHING to reduce them. What am I doing wrong? Here is the stats of the old and new clips. http://www.toddprod.com/videoclipproblem/MPEG-settings-(old-and-new).jpg
PLEASE someone help!
This JPEG shows the old clip on top, my new one on the bottom.
CBR or VRB doesn't make a difference. Changing the bitrate doesn't make a difference.
The old clip is: 421KB, the new clip is: 865KB
WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING WRONG?? Please someone help!
Change the stream setting under the 'system' tab to 'MPEG1 system (automatic)'
You are attempting to create a standard VCD. TMPG will not allow the bitrate to fall below standard VCD bitrate and thus will 'pad' the video.

Why in the heck would TMPG want to incorporate hardware encoding into it's software???
The whole point of TMPG is that is uses it's own software encoding algorithms to obtain the quality it does.
Using TMPG to link to a hardware encoder would negate the whole point of TMPG. TMPG would simply become a front end NOT an encoder.
The quality of encoding that TMPG produces is it's bread and butter, it wouldn't make sense for it to use another encoders algorithms to create MPEGs.
TBH that's one of the daftest things I've ever heard.
Basically using an analogy to what you have said, it's like saying instead of using the perfectly good engine that's already in the car, put another one in the boot and use that one instead...pointless.
Well, the latest NVIDIA Chips have programmable pixle and vertex shaders.
These pack some serious computing power and might be good to speed up the encoding process.
My english isnt good enough to explain and honestly I dont care much if something like that goes into tmpgenc.
In short: The Shaders in an modern Graphics GPU are specialized in matrix operations the same thing tmpgenc and all other encoders need to do their job.

@Ashy->
Sadly it seems you have no idea of what we are talking about.
It seems you tend to yell the more you don't get.
So before you call somebody daft, get educated on the issue.
Using the capabilities of Nvidia's chips would greatly shorten the encoding process. Since there are many Nividia chips out there, it would be beneficial
to a great number of users.
It's not about boats, cars, or motors!
TMPGenc would still use it's algorithms but outsource computing to the
Nvidia chip.
The whole disussion is fruitless anyway since the product is not really developed further.
It's funny you should say that I have no idea what I'm talking about. Seems strange I have been a member of this board for years and made thousands (yes thousabds) of posts. Many of which have helped the less experienced person with TMPG.
Just do a search clever cloggs with my name and you'll find a hell of a lot of posts thanking me for the 'Expert' help and advice I have given.
I was, and hope I still am, a respected member of this board, especially when it was a lot busier than it is now.
I don't get to visit this board as often as I used to however I do pop back to lend a little advice when I can.
So there is no need for your shirty attitude and your insulting attitude. You've made your point just don't get cocky when trying to make it.
I probably know more about the workings of TMPG and how it encodes than you could ever know.
Maybe I should have done a little more research before posting my remark, however that doesn't give you the right to assume someone is an idiot and become abusive.
I set the CPU preferences and turn on SSE. It works OK for the current session and doesn't crash or anything, so I assume it's using SSE instructions Ok. Then the next time I run TMPGencPlus, it brings up a warning dialogue saying "CPU has changed since last" and all the CPU settings are set back to defaults.
Is there an INI file or some registry-setting that's stuck?
When encoding avi files, the result has no video. The audio is fine but no video at all just a black screen.
Until about a month ago, Tmpg was working fine. Any suggestions.
Thanks.
Hi there, I use TMPGEnc to make a DVD from a AVI-file, but I want to use also subtitles (I heard that TMPGEnc is suitable for this action). How can I do this? I have a .srt file with the same name as the AVI-file, but I don't see subtiles in the preview. Thanks for help, Frank
The new version of DVD Author will be released under the new brand
name "TSUNAMI MPEG" (TSUNAMI MPEG DVD AUTHOR PRO).
We are worried that it may have a negative impact on our customers,
due to the TSUNAMI that occurred last year, in Sumatra and the South East Asia.
However TSUNAMI is also the original name of the free software TMPGEnc (TSUNAMI MPEG ENCODER).
TSUNAMI is a common word in Japan, because we often hear it in our everday life.
But, in overseas, this name may directly be related to the disaster of last year.
So we would like to ask you:
1) what is your opinion about this brand name?
2) and what do you think would be the general opinion, or the opinion of a newbie who
doesn't know the origin name of TMPGEnc?

I wish you folks would also ask for our opinions on the products and new features we would like to see added.
I have submitted many excellent feature requests to your tech support, only to be told they are not needed. Clearly, they do not listen to the users feedback, and I have stopped submittng ideas.
If I had a clear channel to the programmers, I would be happy to resubmit the ideas. BTW, I know the guy that started the TMpeg products, as I worked at the company that designed the compiler he used at the time (Delphi).
I don't know about the areas where the tsunami hit, but i don't think in the US that any one will make a connection between the software and the disaster that occured.
After converting an AVI to MPG the Windows media player plays 1 or 2 seconds of the sound from the movie and then freezes the audio playing. The video however remains playing propperly. Does anybody know what's wrong ?
Thanks in advance !
Given the lack of information that you have given I am not sure why it happened but I know how to avoid it. Seperate the sound from your avi file using virtual dub: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/barnprograms/programs/virtualdub.zip
and use it as your audio source for your avi file using TMPGEnc.
Occasionally when I convert an AVI file to an MPG file, I find that the resulting MPG file is much longer than the the source file; for example, one AVI file that I converted was about two hours long, but the resulting MPG file was over four hours long. When I played the file back, I found that the entire source material had indeed been converted, but when I reached the end of the original material, the file continued to play for another couple of hours, showing nothing but a blank white screen.
Is the file corrupted or otherwise unusable for VCD purposes? If I used "Merge & Cut" to dispose of the blank portion of the file, will the remainder of the file be OK to make a VCD or otherwise usable?
Open your sound (wav) file using CoolEdit 96: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/barnprograms/programs/cool96.zip
Note the length of the sound (wav) file. It should be the same length as your video (avi) file. If it is not trim the end to make it match. Use the avi file as your video source and the wav file as your audio source using TMPGEnc to make a mpg file.
The file is not corrupted. You can use "Merge & Cut" to cut only the section with video and sound and save it as a new name to make a VCD.
