I have just downloaded the free version and the tutorial I am following for my project says to go to the environmenal screen under the option drop down list, but there isn't any envonmental button there. Has anyone else had this problem? I downloaded my copy of that site and I've dl'd it again here but the same thing keeps happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had TMPGEnc Plus 2.524.63.181 installed and working on my previous computer.
I built a new computer, re-installed, and re-registered the program. However
when I set up to encode an AVI to MPEG-2 the following error pops up:
"To playback MPEG-2 file, DVD player software needs to be installed on your system. MPEG-2 files cannot be played without such playback software" If I proceed on anyway the image does not show up in the preview window, and the output file only has sound (no video). I have a DVD burner installed, and I can play DVDs with either Windows Media player or Roxio Cineplayer (so that says I have a CODEC installed). I tried un-installing and re-installing the program.
Both the old and new computers are running Windows XP. Ideas?
I purchased TMPGEnc Plus a few years ago, however, it fell into disuse for some time as I was doing other things. I dug up my serial number in a three year old text file last night and tried to register with it, but it is not working. The last time I used TMPGEnc, it required activation and the entering of the serial number was different (it was broken up in segments in separate fields). Do I have any recourse in getting it to work as I did purchase the software before. Thanks.

Sorry-a lil late but better than never.
I had that same issue with some avi audio years ago.
Get the audio decompressor ver 1.4 and decompress the audio to a wav. The decompressed movie file name will now contain .pcm at the end.
The file will be considerably larger until you reencode and recompress the audio (lame mp3 etc).

what should I purchase if I only need the MPEGII codec from TMPGENC?
Background:
- Input: MPEGII stream with separated MP2 stereo (surround) audio stream
- Output: same but smaller file size, and cropping and aspect ratio changed
- No cutting is required; I use Mpeg2Schnitt for cutting prior recoding
Somebody suggested me to look at TmpgEnc to achieve small size but good quality.
But I don't know what exact product I should buy (minimum cost).
You're not missing anything. Basically if you're honest and pay for the software they give you the 4 year old version, while the free version is actually kept up to date.
Here's the email I got when I asked about this:
"Free version and Retail version are different, the Retail latest version
is 2.524.63.181, and the Free version is 2.525.64.184, so if you want to
use the Free version just download and install it.
Basically this Free version 2.525.64.184 is just the same as Retail
version."
Um, the free version only allows MPEG-2 for 30 days then cripples it to MPEG-1, nice try though.
You would think a company selling software would actually make updates for their paid software, but I guess they'd rather screw around paying customers.
Of course there's a difference between the free and paid versions; why else would one be free and the other not?
They're trying to say that ultimately they are the same, but the free one only allows MPEG-2 output for 30 days. If you want MPEG-2 output for more than 30 days, then you have to buy the 2.5 Plus version. There are licensing fees attached to the MPEG-2 format, which is why you have to pay for it.
The free version was updated to include banner ads, otherwise, it's the same as it was in the prior version. Since the paid version does not need banner ads, it wasn't updated.
Yes, this software is old, but people still use it and so they probably want to keep the paid version around in case people want the MPEG-2 output.
No one is forcing you to buy it, and you can always buy their newer software like TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress.
I've been converting some vid files (avi xvid), but something odd is happening on a few of them. Specifically, a file which has a running time of 24ish minutes, is being interpretted as 1 hour long, and is encoded as such. Essentially the last frame is held in the main screen, and the output ends up as being roughly twice the size I need to be, and in at least one instance, the audio didn't work. Where am I going wrong?
