Idownloaded a some music vids and a couple of movies and I want to put it on a VCD to play in the DVD player in my car. I am new to the program so I don't really know how to work it. When I use Easy CD Creator 5 and try to add it the it has "X" in the bitrate collumn as well as others. Can someone reccomend new ways of recording like Nero and how do I manipulate it so that it will record with ECDC5?

Thanx

Hi. I've been preparing some VCD movies for burning onto a DVD (and being playable on standalone players), so I've been converting all the audio tracks from 44.1kHz to 48kHz. I use SSRC 1.29 for the resampling, and tooLAME 0.2i for re-encoding. I've been able to resample and recompress 40 of the 41 audio tracks without incident, but when I've finished with SSRC on one of them and TMPGEnc moves on to tooLAME, tooLAME crashes consistently at the same frame each time. The original video and the de-multiplexed audio files play fine, but this keeps happening! TMPGEnc isn't affected, but tooLAME is shut down immediately and the job can't finish. Any thoughts?

(I couldn't find a tooLAME board to post this on...)

I cant help you there ... but I would be very gratefull for an link to the tooLame binary =) Last time I searched all downloadpages were extinct :(

cheers

Go here M8: http://www.macdvd.org/trnsz/Compiles/TooLAME-0.2i-Win32.zip

thanks alot :-)

Well, I'm glad that's settled. Now, anyone know how to help me?

Why don't you just disable TOOlAME as an external encoder if it's just for that one file. I'm sure you won't get a dramatic decrease in quality.

On the other hand I wouldn't use either of the programs you are using to resample and encode as I find this way TOO slow.

I have tried the method you are using as I used to find that the sample converter in TMPG used to give a computerized ringing sound to some high pitched vocals after I had encoded to VCD.
This was cured by using SSRC. I then used TOOLAME as the encoder as it is said this a high quality encoder. This is true, but far too slow.

So I use a program called MPEGDJ encoder. With this program you can resample and encode a WAV file to an Mp2 file to the specific requirements for a VCD I.E. 44.1khz, 224kbps, Mp2.
The quality is high and is at least four times quicker than any other encoder.

If you want to give it a try check out: http://www.xaudio.de/pages/encoder.html

Let me know if it helps.

For the sake of consistency, I'd rather stick with tooLAME (which hasn't been that slow on my machine). Thanks anyway.

Version 2.53 of TMPTEnc
Using referenced quicktime .mov files.
Prior versions of TMPTEnc would encode these files.
Present version shows black scene, but gives not error message.
Referenced QT .mov files are files that point to the actual
.mov files, which are files on disk directly recorded from
camera DV files, using Cinestream (formerly EditDV), which
employes Radius codec for DV files.
Important the program take **referenced** qt files, as did
prior versions of TMPGEnc, since long encoding of .mov
files is not required prior to mpeg encoding.
Help appreciated.

My system keeps crashing after 6 second of encoding.

I have a 750 AMD Athelon with 756 meg of ram using an ATI 128 Raedon video card. I never had problems with any program crashing this system. I've been able to show 4 movies on 4 different monitors at the same time and no frame lose. I followed the settings for the movie I am trying to convert. It is a DVIX avi encoded movie 23.976 fps. This is the settings the program picks up
MPEG-1 720x416 23.976fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 192kbps

Anyone have a clue as how to set the setting?

Thanks

your aspect ratio is way out you can"t have a vcd compliant mpeg1 at 720 by 416 you can"t go bigger than the standard.........

Is the 2 pass-vbr mode really any better or faster in Plus ? What does it mean "full mpeg 2 encoding" ? Has it been encoding only half way ? Worth the $48

yes it has only been encodeing half way ,even less because the mpeg2 only lasts for 2 weeks,and yes it is worth a lot more than $48 ,more than 10 times that much..the only encoder that is compareable in any way is the "cinema craft encoder" and if you want to but that it is going for a discounted rate of $2000.
and that encoder is only better in the speed of encodeing(5-10 times faster)
TMPGENC has better picture quality cuz you can adjust the color ect..
so I wouldn"t complain about your $48.....

Hi,

I've got an Avi file compressed with AngelPotion V1 codec. How can i convert it into SVCD ? When i try, only the video works, the audio is not recognized by TmpgEnc.

Thanks

try vcdhelp.com - there you see instrections on how to extract the audio with virtual dub.... or if you know how, you may try that, http://www.vcdhelp.com/divxtovcd.htm - this shows, maybe virtual dub can seperate the two then you can rejoin them in tmpge. ??

I try with VirtualDub but i always have an error on audio saying that the rate and channels count for input are not compliant and in file information, the audio compression is unknown. May be because the AnelPotion codec i not correctly install, i read that it can be necessary to reinstall Divx 3.11 for this codec.
Is there a convertion tools for AngelPotion->Divx3.11 or 4.12?
Thanks

Hi,

Is TmpgEnc compliant with Divx 5 ?

Thanks,
Philippe

It doesn't seem like it!

Techno

divx 5 seems to work fine in tmpgenc on my system 800mhz celeron 384mb ram..I think every ones system seems to have different quirks were one system can do something another of the same systems can"t...

DivX 5 and the following worked for my installation.
PIII and W2K sp2

From www.vcdhelp.com:

"If TMPGEnc gives you an error message(file unsupported) when opening
the video or you just get a empty/black video preview window Be sure
that you have installed the DivX Codecs (both DivX 3.11, 4 and 5) and
also try with the Nimo Codec Pack. If that does not work try to change
the settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI
plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and
increase the priority to 1 or 2 and try open the video."

Everytime I multiplex in Tmpeg, I get the error "###### s packets cause buffer underflow. The MPEG might cause error when it played." Tmpeg still creates the new file but it is not complete. For instance, a 750 MB becomes a 650 MB file when i mux an MPEG-2 to MPEG-1. Can someone let me know what the deal is? Thanks.

hi
i've got a problem
the avi file i want to encode in mpeg to burn a svcd isn't working
there's no iamge just sound!!!
how can i resolve that!!
thanks for helping me

I had problems using the new DivX 5 Codec. When it was installed, the image was always black when using a DivX-AVI as input source. I just reinstalled DivX 4.12 and everything works fine again! Maybe you should try that!

Hi

Has anyone had problems with trying to buy Plus version ?

Hi

I found out problem. I needed 128 bit cipher to connect.
(Pity they don't say that. Might affect sales :)

I tried to purchase TMPEG Plus a couple weeks ago. I checked the HTML code from the Pegasys pages and was able to get to their purchase area. I tried to submit my Ccard info to purchase and got the message "invalid account". I emailed them and got a response saying that I couldn't use a free email account (Yahoo in this case) for pruchase. Probably 'cause they send the register code via e-mail. So I went through the purchase process again using a pay email account last Thursday. It went though and I was re-directed to a page that stated the transaction was completed. That was six days ago and I haven't recieved an email with the reg code or been billed on my Ccard. I guess they're just screwed up. Now I can't get to the Pegasys or the verisign.jp sites to find out what the problem is. Big screw-ups. I hope my Ccard info isn't compromised...

Hi,
I want to encode a VOB file into MPEG1 file for VCD, and I used the three filters to realize loading VOB directly by TMPGENC.
The problem is the file I got have no audio signal.
In the procedure, I have selected "Audio + Video", and audio is 44.1 @ 224.
Cloud you please have a look and tell me how to solve it?
Thanks a lot

u tried converting the vob audio to wav first?

www.divx-digest.com/software

Techno

Have a look at this fine HowTo

http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdtovcd.htm

what r u trying to say?

no harm in me putting up suggestions?

for it to be perfect, u must extract the audio as wav, be sensible.

Oh,
Thank you so much for your warm-hearted help.
I will try to seperate audio first, then multiplex audio and video. Do you mean this way?

I read from a web of Taiwan that TMPGENC can read VOB directly without seperating the audio and video, by using the filters "mpeg2decoder.ax", "mpeg2parser.ax ", and "iviaudio.ax ". If it works, the procedure will be much easier. SO I tried. Now it seems it will not work, as you said.

BTW, your quick replies really surprised me. Thank you again.

By using the DVD2avi, I get a WAV file, and I can get a mpeg file with audio.
Thank you guys so much. :)

Don't bother wasting your time loading vobs directly into TMPG as it will take you at least 3 times longer to encode the file.
Use the project file wich DVD2AVI creates and load that into TMPG and save yourself a lot of time without losing any quality.

I use a prog. called FlaskMPEG to convert. 75 min film took about 4 hours.
I am new to this game. Only problem I have is after encoding with TMPG. I try to burn the film onto CD 74mins 650mb using Nero Burn, but get error message
saying that the file is too large for the CD. Can U help.
