TMPGEnc 2.5 (Free or plus version) BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
I've been encoding using TMPEnc lately, and i found for some files, they have 34000 frames but come to encoding, they have a massive 120k frames! to top this off, it has no sound, even though the original has, and it seems that the sound is encoded wrongly. whatever i do i cannot get the sound to work, even if i encode the sound separately. does anyone know how to rectify this?
I'm using TMPGEnc Plus 2.5, and for some reason when I try to load up an AVI of some DVD rips, it gives me a "cannot open, or unsupported" error... how can I get it to work?
Hey guys, I had the same problem a couple of days ago. I redistributed my hard disk partitions and suddenly my TMPGEnc stopped working. I had some movie.d2v files that I had created using DVD2AVI before repartitioning and that I couldn't access with TMPEG afterwards. Yesterday I installed a new mpeg2 codec and created a new movie2.d2v file. Now TMPEG works fine.
I think you'll need to reinstall the same mpeg2 codec that you used when creating the avi files. Otherwise, you can install any mpeg2 codec and create the avi files again, TMPEG should then work.
Your problem you had was because you had changed the path to the soure files in the d2v by repartitioning.
You CANNOT move, rename, or delete the d2v, the source files or any of the folders associated with them until you have finished encoding.
As for the original question - cannot open, or unsupported
I refuse to answer this question any more. I must answer it almost every day and I alone must have answered it many hundred times by now. If you include all the others that have answered it then I would guess it must have been answered close to a 1000 times.
The solution can quite easily be found by getting off your ass and using the search function.

Gee, this sure sounds like a frequently asked question. Might it not be a bad idea to add it to the FAQ?
Firstly I am totally new to this Ive been using TMPGenc for a couple of months but I really dont know much about it.
Ok my problem is this, when I try to convert an AVI file to MPEG the video freezes on the first frame and doesnt move any further, the sound however converts fine and when I play the finished MPEG back its the first frame of the video with the sound playing as normal. Can anyone help me?
It might also be worth mentioning I used to have no problems converting AVI's to MPEG and I cant remember installing anything recently that would cause a problem. I cant play AVI files (hence me wanting to convert them to MPEG) using any program that I have (including divx player, windows media player and real player) and also MPEG's play in windows media player but really jerkily (itll play a couple of seconds then stop for a few seconds and repeat this cycle) so I have to play them through real player. Does anyone have any idea what I might have installed to cause this problem or does anyone know some codecs, files or programs that would remedy this?
I have an AVI with weird resolutions. It is 480x320 and it has 23.976 fps. I want to put this on DVD-R so what should I set the Video Arrange Method as? I usually have it set at Center (custome size 640x420) so the subtitles won't go off the screen. But in this case, should I do the same?
Let me note that in some scenes, the people's faces seem a bit elongated...is there anyway to resize it to its proper height and then convert to MPEG2?
When you use a program like DVD MovieFactory, the file will look elongated in that program. But when you play it in a DVD player, it will play back at 16x9 anamorphic.
Use the Project Wizard and set up a DVD project. If you want it in 16x9 or 4:3, select that option at the beginning. When you get to the screen where you select the input file, change the input ratio to 1:1.
I have TMPGEnc installed in the newest version.
I execute it on a laptop with Windows XP Pro. SP1 and all updates.
I installed K-Lite Codec Pack to get some codecs to encode into.
The specifications of the laptop is.
:::::Issue:::::
I run the wizard and get to the source range clip editing. Then I edit the video file, but then if I'm away for some time doing other things, it could be for 10 minutes or longer, only to get back to finalize my editing or just accept the editing by clicking ok then TMPGEnc crashes.
When I push ok to accept the editing in the source range window TMPGEnc crashes.
Then I have to do my editing all over again.
This can't be true, am I doing anything wrong or is there a patch out there for TMPGEnc, because this is really annyoing.
I really hope we can find a solution regards Lars Bengtsson.
Thank you in advance.
Sorry if this has been covered, but a friends of mine has also experienced this, and it's happened to me on every computer I've tried it on:
I used the free version of TMPGEnc for the full trial of the MPEG2 encoder. Everything worked normally, and I could encode a 45 minute program in about and hour and a half, and get a 4000kbps video to take up about a third of a DVD.
Now, I would think that Plus would be no different, but it is. When I tried it out, if I load the same video into the wizard or anything, it seems to think that the resulting file will be many gigabytes in size. Then when I encode it, it ends up being a little smaller than it thought, but still not small enough for a disc, and not only that, but it takes all night to encode one video.
What's going on? I'm not going to pay for a program that doesn't live up to its free trial. I really wish that instead of installing the Plus version, I could keep the nice, independant, free version and pay for the MPEG2 encoder. I like just being able to keep the entire program in a folder anywhere I want it and move it around. Why do I need to install what appears to be the exact same program (except for the bug I'm getting)?
Look under MPEG setting's page and make sure the Rate control mode and the Motion search precision is the same settings you were using in the free version.
I'm trying to convert some AVIs to put on a DVD. The AVIs have a framerate of 23.976. Here's what I did by following a guide:
I selected the AVI as the video and audio source in TMPGEnc Plus. Then I set the Framerate as 23.976 fps (internally 29.97 fps) and the Encode Mode as 3:2 Pulldown When Playback.
The problem is that there are some ads in the middle of the AVI that I don't want. So I used TMPGEnc Plus's Source Range to convert the first part, and then after that select and convert the second part. Then I merged them together as an MPEG-2 Program Stream using the Merge & Cut feature. However, on my TV, the audio and video gets out of sync. Why is this? How can I cut out the ad and not have everything out of sync?
I have tried Virtualdub where I select the ads and then cut them out. Then I frameserve into TMPGEnc. The MPEG though is weird. It has 1 frame (the same frame as the very last frame of the source AVI) that appears before the start of the AVI. That's weird because I don't remember it being there nor did I add it there. So now I am using TMPGEnc's Cut tool to hopefully cut out that portion and hopefully, it will turn out good. Here is what I meant in more visual terms if it was a bit confusing:
[]( )
The [] represents the added frame and the () represents the actual episode.
After cutting off that 1 frame, it works on my TV player. I authored using TMPGEnc DVD Authoring. When I selected the chapter points, it was very accurate. However on my TV, the chapter points aren't where I selected in TDA but about a minute or more before that point. I double-checked in TDA and the chapter point image is right where I want it. But it's not at that point on my DVD player. How do I solve this? The video and audio were in sync though.
I've tried and tried, but can't find how to encode an MPEG2 as a single file (like MPEG1) with TMPGEnc... it always wants to
output as 2 x files (mpeg.m2v and mpeg.wav). I can't therefore play this video with Media Player Classic, or PowerDVD. :(
What I want to achieve is this: I've got some MiniDV footage that I shot (DV AVI, PAL) that I basically want to put onto DVD (or MiniDVD so I can use my CD-R and not buy a DVD burner) to watch in my standalone DVD player. What's the best way to do this with TMPGEnc? Thanks.
I use TMPGENC plus 2.5 ... and a day to other thats happened.
I installed any codecs... and this break the tmpgenc system in a conflict.
I unistall the codecs... but the evil is maked...not change anything... i unistall the tmpgenc and install again... but nothing the msg of erro is ntdll.dll 0000 blah blah blah and ACM failed ... i read the posible solutction here :
