Im trying to encode a video and im getting to much crackling noise thats not suppose to be there in the audio what shall I do??

Hello,
I am currently using this software to load .oma files (sony audio files from minidisc), and when i try to ouptut to .wav, it will make a .wav file the same length of the original sound file, but there will only be sound for the first minute, after that it is silent. Is this because it is a demo, or is there something not working correctly? Also, is this a lossless conversion? Thanks. Ryan

this is our last correspondance (started 08/09):

ASHY:
So this AVI is only 5 minutes long?
>If that is the case you can ramp up the bitrate of the SVCD if your player can handle it.
>Try upping the bitrate to 4000 and then check the quality.


IZZY:
No, AVI is 1GB for 5 min, but I have 1hour tape and more.
so this isnt the case.
Waiting for other ideas, thanks
Izzy

What next?

Thanks

Sorry I've lost the gist of the discussion. Can you refer me to the original thread?

this is how i started it:
I captured from vhs tape, got .avi file with good result compared to original video. file I get is 1GB fo each 5 minutes of tape.
The tape length is 1:30hr.
Now - I convert it to SVCD using tmpgenc. it works nice, but final quality (when viewed by wmp9) is poor if I choose "full screen". Picture is small if I choose "center".
Any good advice? better make it dvd? or is it that thew original file (.avi) res is too low? in short- i need basic help.
Izzy

Ok firstly VHS isn't too good to start with never mind after being captured.
It is low resolution any way.
The only way you are going to acheive better quality output with this file is by raising the bitrate however this will increase the file size.
Consider creating a VCD rather than a SVCD. VCD is the same resolution as VHS so it makes sense and you will also be able to use a higher bitrate.
To get the best file size vs quality ratio you should use a VBR method of encoding. CQ is best, but the file size is unpredictable.
With 2 pass you can calculate the final output size using the wizard.

Ashy -
I tried the vbr 2 pass and the cq and the cbr with higher bit rate - all give acceptable results when viewed on the pc monitor.
how will it be when seen on a tv screen played as vcd from a DVD player? should I use "center" or "full screen" or other setting?

Izzy

Normally I would use 'Fullscreen (keep aspect ratio)'

>Normally I would use 'Fullscreen (keep aspect ratio)'

I tried all possibilities now. still i am not satisfied with the results - the vhs tape as viewed on tv screen is much much better then the best i can get on vcd type file.
can you suggest other possibility? you said before that svcd wont give much (the source is always old vhs tapes). mayby DVD format?

izzy

Do you have a DVD burner?
To get the best then capture the VHS video at full DVD resolution. 704x480 for NTSC and 704x576 for PAL.
Then use the DVD template to encode it using VBR.
To be honest the quality is heavily reliant on the abilities of your capture device to produce a decent output. If the source capture is good enough then there is no reason why the final encoding shouldn't be good also.

I think your expecting too much from VHS captures as they will always look low quality because of the nature of the format. However they always look better when played back on a hardware player and a T.V. rather than a PC monitor.

any one know where i can download movies that are in the theaters? If it's any consolation I will use tmpgenc to encode the downloads<------------for tmpgenc police :)
Thanks guys!

I use KaZaA Lite, it's very user freindly-but make sure you get the lite version because the Full version is full of spyware.
Try www.oldversion.com for the download.

Yes, if you want a shed load of Viruses and trojans on your PC go ahead and download from Kazaa.

I get everything i need by using WinMx (peer2peer sharing)
They have just about everything you could imagine available
just do a search for WinMx (you need the client software to use it)
Best on broadband or better

...or you could try 'BitTorrents' using a BitTorrent download Client

Thanks Bob! kool i'll try that!

There is no better than Bittorrent for speed.
The link below should start you off.

thanks ashy!

Every time I try to encode an avi-file for DVD (both NTSC and PAL) the program and computer hangs after 1 or 2% of encoding. Only one movie had good luck in being encoded.
I tried several settings from tutorials and it doesn't seem to work.
What can be the problem, or what am I doing wrong.

I have the same problem except I'm coverting a *.mov to mpeg2.

i have been using this program for a long time it works so well b4...but after i reformat my pc and reinstall the tmpgenc plus 2.5 again...whenver i try to open it..the main window will just pop out a sec then close..i try to reinstall again but still have the same problem..sometimes it is when i put a file to convert..it will pop out automatically too...i can use it at all now...anyone can tell me how to fix it? thx a lot

btw...i did try to delete the tmpgenc.ini file from the folder too...it can open and place a file it..but when i start to do the encoding..it will auto off still...what can i do then? thx

Tried to convert *.rmvb to MPEG, the Video Part is ok, but no sound.
Hope they can fix it!

Use AVIsynth to frame serve the file to TMPG.

I have burned several episodes on a dvd, and it seems everytime I always get errors playing the last episode. But, it's not just that particular episode, if I burned a completely different set of episodes, then the last one would still be having problems. All the other ones play fine. They are all originally .avis but I encoded them with TMPG, then used TMPG DVD Author to output them into a folder than use Nero to burn. I have no idea what could be the problem, I was thinking maybe to encode them using the Highest Quality, I'm using Normal right now, but I'm not sure if the encoding is the problem, and don't want to waste the extra time encoding and waste a disc.

Hang on..more details are required...what exactly is the problem?
Are you experiencing this problem with the actual MPEGs on your Hard drive or do the problems only occur after burning to DVD.

It sounds to me liky you are simply using cheapo disks.

It seems the last thing to play on the disc always ends up buggy. Just to experiment, I put several copies of the same episode on a disc, they all play fine except for the last one. I'm using TDK DVD+R discs.

TDK are usually pretty good disks, but you may simply have a bad batch.
The problem you have is usually symptomatic of cheap disks, where errors usually appear at the vey end of the disk.
Deos this problem happen on the DVD player only or on the PC also?

Try burning at a lower speed. If that doesn't work change your burning program, I recomend NERO for DVD's.

If you still get no joy then I would go out and buy some RITEK GO4's. These disks are just about the best and most compatible you can get.
If these don't work then it likely your burner or DVD player is at fault.
Which burner and player do you have?

i have tmpgenc 2.5 plus on my main computer. is it permissable to put it on my laptop as well? if so, how?

thanks

You have the EXE file right? Or was it ZIP? I think you can burn that ZIP/EXE file to a CD-RW data disc and then install it onto your laptop. It should work.

I would like to use TMPGEnc to achieve the following:-

Convert DVD RAM disks made on a Panasonic DVD Recorder to DVD-r and AVI files.

I have aquired a trail version of the program to try it out but when I try to open a 4hr VOR file I get the following message:-

File cannot be open or un-supported.

However, I have seen a collegue do this, is there some other software I need to install as well ??

Many thanks for your help

MPEG2 codec.

By the way VRO files are already MPEG2 format and don't really need re-encoding.
TMPG DVD Author should accept VRO files directly for DVD burning.

Thanks for replying - TMPG Author only detects the file as 1Hr and 50 Mins when it is 4Hrs

VRO File now read as Video Source but not as Audio Source

Anyone any answers please

Try using DVD2AVI to convert the audio to a wav.

hello,

i got a question

Are there Any Plans on having a drag and drop fature in Merge and Cut (Mpeg Tools)

it would make life easier
