when i try and open a d2v file it says unsupported... if this is what the patch is for and its not working then i dont know what else to do... i have uninstalled both patch and program a couple times Plz help
-Borax
Where did you get your d2v file from?
If you got it from Smartripper you still need DVD2AVI installed on your system and run it at least once.
Then copy DVD2AVI.VFP from your DVD2AVI folder to the folder where TMPGenc.exe is located.
Restart TMPG and your d2v should load.
To get the AVS loaded try increasing your 'Direct show multimedia file reader' priority higher, say 2 and lower the others to 0.
Now restart TMPG and try and load again.
Hi!
I'm trying to multiplex a mpeg-2 file + a mp3 file. Everything goes well except i can't hear the sound. In cyberlink dvdplayer the image plays with no sound. With media player, it's not even recognized (the orignal mpeg2 file of course plays well with each player). And the sound seem to work great with winamp...where the prob ?
Did you encode the mp3 with "tmpgenc?Do you have the proper codecs to decode the mp3 stream?was the audio there before you multiplexed the files?are you makeing a svcd?if you are svcd"s will not play in most dvd players with mp3 audio..have you tried to use mp2 audio?
If you already have the original audio in mp2 format then I don't see the point in converting it to mp3 and multiplexing it with the movie, for a few reasons.
1. You won't improve the quality by encoding to mp3
2. The compression is roughly the same, so it won't make a difference to the file size
3. Your movie is now incompatible with most if not all DVD players.
Anyway aside from that the reason you may be having problems could be due to the fact you don't have the required codecs installed to decode the audio in the movie correctly.
Thank you Ashy and Minion for your help. Altho i still havent fix anything.
I would have been surprised it was a mp3 codec problem since i had that codoc installed for quite a while ;) still i tried and got no luck.
Here's the story...I made some kind of movie with MGI Videowave (crappy soft,i know!). I first capture in lostless avi, then modified and max with videowave, and then chose MPEG2 as output.
Altho, the sound is too early for the images...(like 3 secs b4 images near the end of the movie)... so i extract the mp3 from the mpeg2 created by Videowave, fixed the sound problem with sound forge, and then i tried multiplexing (new mp3 file + original mpeg2) with tmpgenc. No luck the image plays in Cybrlink DVD player, but no sound. And media player doesnt even recognize the images...it looks for some codecs and dont find anything.
Then i demultiplexed the images from the mpeg with tmpgenc, it saved in m2v. and i tried multiplexing it again with m2v + mp3. Same result.
I dont want it to play on a SVCD, i just want a qualitEimages i can record on a VCR from my tv-out. After that I'll convert it to VCD. (i tried that too but every time 1-2 sequences has some kind of crack in them...weird shit)
Ok look. Stop using soundforge and mp3 in your Mpeg files.
There is a simpler way to correct A/V sync problems using the original Mp2 audio in the SVCD.
You are going to use bbmpegs A/V delay feature when mutiplexing to sync your movie.
Look at the instructions on how to multiplex and look at instruction 5.
At the bottom of the picture you will see a row boxes titled 'start up delay(ms)'
Using the 'Video' and 'Audio 1' boxes it is possible to add a delay to either.
Just add delay to either the audio or video depending on which needs delaying and then multiplex.
If you have deleted the original audio then you could download dbpoweramp from www.dbpoweramp.com and use this to convert your mp3 to mp2 (just make sure you download the mp2 plugin with dbpoweramp)
I've read the details on this forum before, but I'm trouble finding it again: how can I frameserve from tmpgenc to cinema craft 2.5? Is it possible to do it as well w/ cce 2.62? Any help would be much appreciated
I"ll send you an email on how to do it but you will have to send me back some info on your files and what you want to do,sometimes they don"t want you to talk about other encoders here, so I don"t want to write some big thing on another encoders features and such.....
You simply need to create a project file with TMPG and then convert this to a dummy AVI using the VFAPI converter.
You then open this AVI as if it was a real AVI in CCE.
CCE will then encode your movie using the filters and settings you have chosen in TMPG. http://www.divx-digest.com/software/vfapi.html
Every mpeg that i try to open in tmpg says illegal mpeg. There must be a setting that i am supposed to change. Can someone please help me figure this out. Thanks in Advance.
The only other thing that it could be that i can think of is to make sure that you have the "mpeg2 vfapi plugin" , but if you do have it try to download another copy of "tmpgenc" cuz maybe there is a problem with it..one thing to consider is that "tmpgenc" is not gauranteed to work on mpeg"s that were made with a different encoder....
Is the MPEG file MPEG2 if it is you need an MPEG2 codec to open the file.
If it's MPEG1 then Minion is correct, TMPG won't open some files made with other MPEG encoding software.
There is a way to correct this. Find out if the file is MPEG1 or MPEG 2 and I wil post you the solution.
I also installed that mpeg2 codec that was on there and it didnt solve the problem. The thing that gets me is that i have used the same programs to create the mpegs and tmpg has always had no problem with them.
Download this MPEG2 codec and install it. http://www.plmovies.com/mpeg2codec_installer.zip
If your MPEG2 movie still wont open then de-multiplex it and open the Video and Audio files in TMPG separately and it should work.
I used vcdgear to create it from bin-cue to mpeg. This has worked for me many times. Im gonna try right now to demultiplex it then i will msg back. Thanks again.
When I first encoded with tmpg encoder I got beautiful picture quality but no sound. Well how do I extract sound.
Also When I was done the file was 2.5 gigs How Am I going to burn that on a cd
To extract the audio you have to use "virtuldub" it is free and can be found in the tools section of "www.vcdhelp.com,..How are you going to put 2.5gb on a cd?you aren"t you have to cut it in 3 and put it on 3 cd"s, to cut it go to "file" then to "mpeg tools" then to "merge and cut".But in the future it is better to use the "source range" feature in the "advanced settings" so you can encode your move in parts so you won"t have to cut it later, cuz the cut feature has a habit of freezing up...
Got another problem trying to put on a vcd header on an mpeg2 and it gets to 47% and says its done every time. I have no idea why it would do this but if anyone else has had this problem could the please help me out. THanks
That could be where the error in your mpeg file is..Just because you can play it in "media player" does not mean that it doesn"t have errors in it, media player will play practicly anything, if you can de-multiplex it you can try to use "bbmpeg" to multiplex it and put on the header...sory i can"t help more
When I encode, the audio track does not match the video track. I am encoding a S-VCD 'non-interlace'. Any ideas on how to get them to match would be appreciated.
Try to make sure the template your using has the same framerate aas the original file (23.94=NTSCFilm, 25=PAL, 29.97=NTSC)
Also if the original file has a viariable bitrate audio track you might want to try extracting it to a PCM wav (It'll be BIG) file with VirtualDub then set that as the audio source.
If its still not working you might have a glitch in the original file somewhere.
VBR = Variable Bitrate. Means the bitrate is allowed to vary frame to frame according to the complexity of the scene.
Low action, low detail scenes only need low bitrate = smaller file size.
High action, high detail need higher bitrate = larger file size.
When Combined together in one movie can create a better quality movie with smaller total file size than CBR(constant bitrate).
I have a problem that nobody seems to know the answer to. Hopefully someone here can help me out. There is a trick that i use to make my dvd player play svcds. I use the mpeg tools on tmpgenc and do a simple multiplex with a vcd header. This works all the time for me. Recently some of the movies i have been trying to do this with have said illegal mpeg. I have done nothing diffrent than before and I was wondering how come it has suddenly started to do this. Is there a setting that I have to change or what? The mpeg plays in windows media player just fine so I know that it isnt a corrupt file. Someone please come to my rescue. THanks.
Are you making sure you are choosing VCD and not SVCD in your burning or authoring program?
Is the frame size 352x240 at 29.97 fps or 352x288 at 25 fps and the audio mpeg1 audio layer II at 44.1khz?
i cant even get tmpg to acknowledge that it is an mpeg. How am i supposed to tell if it is 352x240? When i try to load it in the the simple multiplex it says that it is an illegal mpeg.
Don"t use the "multiplex" to put the headers on your file ,"tmpgenc" has a habit of Causeing buffer underflow errors in the multiplex, use the "merge and cut" to put the headers on your file, just load in your mpeg2 and choose the "mpeg1-vcd" option ,choose your output directory and click run. I do this every day cuz i encode with a different encoder but i have to put the headers on with "tmpgenc" cuz the other encoder does not...
Am i missing somthing here? I go to the mpeg tools to do that right? In the simple multiplex tab i load my file up and switch it to mpeg 1 vcd to put the header on it. I have done it that way for a long time and had success. After that click on run and im set. But what i am saying is that doesnt work. When i try to load the mpeg2 in ther, it says illegal mpeg. I havent had this prob before and now it is happening on a lot of mpegs i try to put the header on.
sorry i see what you are saying now about the merge and cut
However, when i load that file on there it says that it isnt an mpeg file. even thou it plays on my wma player
Have you created these MPEG2 files with another encoder or used some other software to edit the file, such as MPEG2VCR. If you have this could be your problem.
TMPG can be a finnicky about the MPEGs it accepts which have been edited or created with other software or it may be you just need to install an MPEG2 codec.
Try this one. http://www.plmovies.com/mpeg2codec_installer.zip
I am trying to encode movies so that I can make vcd's and when I go to start the program I get an error message saying "cannot load P3package.dll." Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
when you are unzipping TMPGE your unzipping program is not unzipping all the files if you are using WINZIP use classic and extract the DLL file manully into your TMPGE folder
ok....I am converting a 16:9 avi to a 4:3 mpeg in order to make a vcd. I am having horrible results with interlace lines. I use 3:2 pulldown in order to get the framerate correct and am also using the deinterlace option to no avail. Is there something else that I could do? The final product comes out beautiful minus the interlace lines and they are almost too unbearable to watch.PLEASE HELP!!! I've tried to encode 4 movies that the source is 16:9 and with all the same results. THANK YOU
You mean you are checking the 3:2 pulldown option in the filter settings...wrong.
This is the reason for your interlace lines.
The way to add 3:2 pulldown is to create an MPEG2 file you can't do it with MPEG1 because it uses progressive frames.
First choose MPEG2 as the output.
Next, click setting then under the video tab choose '3:2 pulldown when playback' from the dropdown menu where it says 'encode mode'.
Now change the framerate to 23.976 fps(internally 29.97 fps).
Also the de-interlace option will not work with 3:2 pulldown. 3:2 pulldown is used to turn a progressive(non-interlaced)23.976 movie into an interlaced 29.97 fps movie, so the de-interlace filter isn't required unless you are applying IVTC and then adding 3:2 pulldown.
I want to get the best image quality on a VCD that i can, but also fit as much movie on it as possible. Encoding time is not an issue. I know I should use VBR, but what other settings, filters, etc. should I use to improve image quality without making the file larger?
