I have an avi file with 720 x 404 and is 16:9 aspect ratio.
I want to encode it to a DVD to watch on a 16:9 TV.

What should I set the source aspect ratio, video arrange method, output resolution and aspect ratio?

My first attempt was to ignore the source aspect ratio (it doesn't seem to have any effect on the output), set the video arrange method to center (default), set the output resolution to 720 x 480, output aspect to 16:9.

This works ok. The resulting DVD when play, will expand to fill the screen automatically. However, whenever there are subtitle/text on the screen I notice they have re-sampling blur. How can I avoid this blur?

hello everyone

I have a question regarding cropping and encoding interlaced video. I am capturing interlaced signal from a Hi8 camcorder and obviously there's some junk on all sides. I crop it and optionally resize (for fullscreen). the question is, how does it affect interlace (1) and MPEG encoder (2). AFAU, there are several scenarios. lets outline a couple:

1. the image is cropped and then upscaled to full DVD resolution. this is simple for horisontal scale, but non-obvious for vertical, since several lines have to be added. I don't understand how vertical upscale works with interlaced video. either pairs of fields are duplicated every now and then, which is not the best upscale algorithm, or the image is deinterlaced, upscaled, and then interlaced again, which kinda misses the point of interlace. what does TmpgEnc do when I choose crop+fullscreen ?
1. back bands are created around the image. encoder will waste bandwidth encoding them and there will be artefacts near the edges. this is the scenario for crop+center AFAIU.

I would be extemely helpful if someone answers these two questions and possibly recommends what interlace/crop/scale options of TmpgEnc I should use to make DVDs out of my Hi8 recordings.

thanks very much in advance.

is there anyway to enhance audio file (wave)such as enhancing sound (voices) that are low or faint?

I've been working with TMPGEnc for the past 6 years and I've never experienced any serious problems with it...however, I've encountered a very rare unusual problem. I use dvd2avi for my movie files and then I transfer them to the TMPGEnc encoder and they work fine, but I have one in particular to where the video runs faster than the audio. I guess what I'm trying to ask is: how do I get the video to slow down in the encoder to match the audio?? I've tried going to the audio gap correct and adjusting that and it doesn't do any good and if I DO get it to run right, it'll make the audio sound like donald duck so I need to slow the video file down, but I don't know how....Please help me out if you can...Thanks alot!!

TMPGEnc 2.5 is working mighty fine, but after converting a movie from AVI to MPEG a splash of rainbow-colors appear at some scenes along the bottom of the picture, taking up almost half the frame. What causes this, and what can I do?

Thanks
Confused

I have an mpeg2 video that receives the error message "can not open, or unsupported."

The file has a resolution of 352x480, aspect ration of 4:3, 29.97 fps and with no audio.

I do not understand why this file is not supported. I tried the original mpg which still had the audio and it doesnt work either.

I had the same issue, I resolved it by uninstalling ffdshow, divx, AC3 (and all other codecs on system). After, I re-installed ffdshow 20020617, divx 5.21, and AC3ACM v1.31. I then set the environmetal settting, VFAPI directshow to 2 (higher than others). Works fine again.

this is my first time doing this and some one told me how to do it but i forgot wat that told me (its all the weeds falt)lol well i sut split a pss file into the video and sound how to i make them inot one file to i can play them on Windows Media Player so i can wach the video with the sound i nned them syined up

Is it possible to export to segmented mpeg files like VirtualDub?
i.e. limit number of video frames per segment or file size to specific MB

Hi,

I want to convert large avi files to Mpeg1, with highest possible quality, for playing in my DVD player. I don't want a VCD or SVCD, simply Mpeg1 files, and size is not important.
If I use the Project Wizard, I'm limited to 352x288(PAL) low resolution files for VCD.
I'm quite lost among so many parameters in encoding and converting. Can someone tell me what parameters are important for better quality, and how should I set them?

Thanks in advance.

Hi folks,

I hate to sound dumb! But, I have downloaded the TMPGEnc 2.54 Freeware version ... WHERE Do I download the TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 version ... so I can do MPEG2 also???

Thanks,
G!

You can purchase TMPGEnc Plux 2.5 from the Pegasys website: http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/shopping/tp_d.html

hi tmpeg folks. i am trying to encode (with 2.5 free) a file asf in avi.
the format is composed by
audio: Windows Media Audio 9.1
48 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo (A/V) 1-pass CBR

video: Windows Media Video 9.

the video is converted in divx well but the audio is non existent. do i need a plug in or is it the format not compatible?
the file is 560 MB and i tried to convert in mpegI but it stopped when reached 500 MB converted. is the size a problem?

another question: why is it that the options for mp3 audio offer sample rate up to 24000hz only?

thanks for your patience
