TMPGEnc 2.5 (Free or plus version) BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
you all seem to know your stuff, so i have a question. what is the best software to use to create vcds? i want to make them with menus and chapters, I have looked around and there are so many options all with good things to offer. I have a whole bunch of programs now and dont know which i should turn to.
where should i turn???
Since I think Tmpgenc is much better than Cinemacraft Encoder SP (even if it's a bit slower) I would like to see a function like.
Multipass VBR just like the 2-pass VBR that you can select today but with a option to select like 3-pass or even up to 6-pass VBR when you want to encode.
I don't know if 5-pass is better than 2-pass VBR ? anyone know what % inprovment you would get if you used that instead of the standars 2-pass ?
People have told me that the quality is better ? Is it really ?
you mean 10 times slower,it takes me 18 hours to do a 1 1/2 hour movie but cce does it in real time or faster,but you are right "tmpgenc"is an over all better encoder for personal use,and you can"t beat the price ,compared to $2000....
I downloaded QTREADER.VFP stuck it in my TMPGENC folder but get message saying "does not support this format" when trying to convert .MOV to .MPG (VCD standard).
Yes they are as long as you use the standard .mfc files (templatest) and you can change some options but if you encode a file and then burn it with let's say NERO burning rom, and mark that you want VCD 2.0 complianc nero CHECKS the mpg file and will say "all oki" , in other words, nero will allways tell you if a mpg file you want to burn in VCD or SVCD is compliant with the standard :)
And btw, use "track-at-once" burning for maximum compability with standalone players and don't burn Faster than 4x if you can, and do a "check copy" to the Harddrive afterwords, my experience is that sometimes the burning gets "crappy" on "cheap" cd-r discs or something.

actualy nero will let you burn non compliant vcd"s as long as they are the right frame size and the audio is the right format,I do vcd"s at 2000kbs and nero says they are compliant,but the standard is 1150kbs,at even 5000kbs nero burns them without a fuss.....
I have downloaded the last TMPGEnc version (2.53) and the VFAPI Plug-in (I have already registered it). Nevertheless, I can't process movies from AVISynth since TMPGenc shows this message when trying to acces the .avs file
"file not valid or unsupported"
What can I do to solve this problem? what else do I need?
I have installed TMPGEnc and is trying to implement subtitles into my VCD by using virtualdubs frameserver but when i try to open the vdr-file in TMPGEnc it says "File "C:Internet est.vdr" can not open, or unsupported" Please help!!!
If TMPGenc gives you an error when opening the video.vdr.avi click on Option->Enviromental settings.
And this window appear, click on VFAPI plugin and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and select Higher priority.
Now try to open video.vdr.avi.
Remember to after you have encoded the video.vdr.avi to Lower priority on the Directshow Multimedia File Readear to avoid problem open other videos.
After all this time of using TMPGenc, I have just discovered my log file doesn't work. Does any body know why my log file remains blank after I have encoded.
I have gone to 'Options' and ticked 'Always save encode log to file automatically'
But when I click 'Display encode log' the friggin thing is blank.
It works fine when I batch encode. Anybody got a clue?
The log file is actually created in the same folder as your movie.
No idea why it doesn't show in the log file window though. Just another TMPG bug I suppose.
after I convert file for mpeg I can burn file to vcd but I have NO video only audio track. How can I fix this problem. (I checked mpeg file before burning and it does not have video only audio as well)
can you see the video when you are encodeing?if you can"t that means that there is no video and you should not procede with encodeing...what kind of avi. are you trying to encode?is it divx5,cuz it is not supported in tmpgenc.....
you might need a different codecs i had the same problem if it is divx codecs 5 get it and re rip the divx with virtual dub with codecs 4.12 that fied it for me
how do you use 4.12 to rerip in virtual dub? will it automatically do that if you have it installed oon your machine or do you have to set it in virtual dub to encode in 4.12? Is there a setting you need to change in order for it to do that?
