TMPGEnc 2.5 (Free or plus version) BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
Last updated in 2004? Does this still work. Haven't there been a multitude of changes in video and computer technologies in the last 7 years? Does this run on Windows 7 64 bit computers?
It still works and they keep it around because I presume people still use it. Plus it's free. I haven't tried it on Windows 7 64-bit yet but it might work.
There are quite a few converters around that just give you a packaged, preset output. They are to me the wonderbread of the converter world, assuming the user is indifferent enough always to be satisfied with whatever the output happens to be. TMPGEnc allows all sorts of parameters to be adjusted during conversion, for example sound levels, forcing a sound track when the original doesn't have one (makes DVD assembly easier), color saturation, hue, gamma, cropping, source clipping, changing these for each file in a batch conversion, and so forth. I have had a hard time finding anything else that can do all of that as easily.
There are annoying characteristics as well, mostly interface annoyances (always defaulting to a lame list of extensions that are about irrelevant in the open file dialog, being extremely balky when trying to get it to use ffdshow, other things. But if you can get everything working it does well.
Most any of these converters are making use of system level codecs and essentially supplying an interface for them. The presumption that interface details need updating every few years (assuming the initial ones are well thought out) just makes you fodder for some operating system providers' need to sell you new crap every few years, no matter how lame it might be. The media "technologies" are contained in the codecs that are external to the converter and I suspect have much more to do with getting around or establishing this or that patent claim or with forcing you to use a particular provider's product than with improvements in quality. Compression is an old and well developed technology that changes rather slowly at this point. Don't let yourself be a dupe for the advertising department drones.

I have been using Tmpgenc for years. I love it. Not long ago I switched to
Mozilla Firefox. Can't take explorer anymore. Not long after I started having system crashes when using Tmpgenc.
The system doesn't crash every time I use Tmpgenc, but when it does crash, I am
either opening a Tmpgenc editing session or one is ending.
It has gotten on my last nerve. Someone on a forum suggested it could be a flash
problem. I uninstalled flash and had the same problem.
Sorry, I posted a question about why subtitles aren't staying on with TMPGE (but are with Windows Media Player) but by mistake put it as "Request" not "Question." I cannot delete and repost it correctly because I didn't assign a password to it.
My apologies, but it IS a question.
Please, if anyone can help, please reply here on the BBS. Thank you!
Is there a fix for this?
I've used DirVobSub for years, but can't find a solution.
Running XP SP2.
Q:
Is there any way to get TMPGE 2.5 Plus to "turn on" (and keep on) DirVobSub when loading an MP4/h264 file with matching SRT file the way it will when it's an AVI file with matching SRT file? It keeps loading DirVobSub -- but within half a second, DirVobSub keeps disappearing with TMPGE (works fine with Windows Media Player). Here's more detail:
If I load an AVI file & matching SRT or ASS subtitle file into my TMPGE 2.5 Plus (paid verison, I purchased it a long time ago) the green arrow icon appears and dirvobsub works fine (ie: episode1.avi & episode1.srt).
The problem is now that a lot of video files are starting to be MP4 format and x264, instead of AVI (episode1.mp4 & episode1.srt).
TMPGE2.5Plus has no problems loading the MP4 format (though you have to select "ALL FILE TYPES" to even have it show). But it would ignore and not even load a matching subtitle file. Of course Windows Media Player (which couldn't play an MP4 file by itself -- this is XP I'm using) couldn't even play it at all.
So I found a codec -- x264vfw (h264/MPEG4 AVC Video For Windows codec) -- and installed it. Now the subtitles work great with the MP4 files with Windows Medial Player -- but STILL "DISAPPEAR" WITH TMPGE!
Now if I have episode1.mp4 and episode1.srt and use Windows Media Player to play the file, it will load up the Green Arrow icon for DirVobSub and show the subtitles fine.
But if I try to load the file and use TMPGE2.5Plus to turn it into an MPEG2 file, what happens is this: when I first load the file, I see the green arrow appear for about HALF A SECOND -- then instantly DISAPPEAR, and it's gone. Then if I go into, for instance, CLIP FRAME option in TMPGE, the same thing happens -- it loads the green arrow icon for a split second, then it disappears immediately -- and there are no subtitles.
The only "fix" I found to this is that I also have FFDSHOW installed, and I can use the "FORCE SUBTITLE" option on FFDSHOW (outside of DirVobSub), which does work -- but the subtitle options on FFDSHOW are limited, and for instance, you CAN'T set LEFT/RIGHT margins with the FFDSHOW Subtitle options (for long subtitle lines that go to the very edges of the screen that will inevitably be cut off on any stadard TV...) DirVobSub has easy options to make sure you can leave "space" between the first or last letter of a subtitle line and the edge so words aren't cut off. So there's a reason I want to use DirVobSub instead of FFDSHOW.
But it's the weirdest thing. Why -- when I have the codec installed now to bring it up even with an MP4 h264 file -- does DirVobSub work just fine when I used Windows Media Player -- but when using TMPGE 2.5 Plus, it brings it up only for a split second before shutting it down? No matter what I do, I can't get the green arrow icon/DirVobSub to stay on when using MP4 & matching subtitle file even though it'll stay on just playing the file with Windows Media Player, or if it's an AVI file with matching subtitle file, TMPGE works just fine.
I know this is a weird question, but it's really bugging me (especially because TMPGE *IS* starting DirVobSub for a split second -- but then as soon as the green arrow appears it immediately disappears, as does DirVobSub).
Is there any way to get TMPGE 2.5 Plus to "turn on" (and keep on) DirVobSub when loading an MP4 file with matching SRT file the way it will when it's an AVI file with matching SRT file?
I need an automatic routine to demux mpg files. I just need the mp3-stream. Because I want to create a command routine in foobar2000 the demuxing is just one step of many, so I need to tell the MPEG Tools to demux by command line , but how?
Can anybody help please, best with a link to line commands...?
Thanks

I found TMPGEnc 2.5 does not read .wmv and .avi files as video source. Could be a setting matter or there is a limitation of this software ? Grateful for a clue.
I extracted the files and when I tried to run TmpGenc.exe I get the error message "Invalid file = please re-install". So I downloaded the file again, extracted the files, and the same thing happens.
Anyone know the correct settings to encode the best video possible? I film in HD, then downconvert but I want to encode so that the video fills the entire HDTV screen if played on an HDTV. Also, I don't want the video to be presented in widescreen If the video is being played on a standard tube TV, I want there to be little black on top and bottom. Thanks!
How exactly do you want this to work?
Do you want widescreen video on an HD tv, and then have the sides chopped off on a 4:3 tv?
Or do you want a stretched image on a 4:3 tv? If you want to avoid the letterboxing on a 4:3 display, you'll have to do one or the other.
