I have .AVI files but i cant encond them to VCD it say's that it is unsupported?
DO you have to get another Porggy to do it? if so were can i get it

this is usualy a easy one to fix,first go to "options" then "enviromental settings" then to "vfapi plugins" in this window lower the"avi.compatability reader"and the "avi.file reader" to "zero" and raise the "direct show " to "two",the load your avi. files in tmpgenc this trick works allmost always, good luck.....

I have the same problem...the solution did not fix it...

ok maybe some oen can tell me what i am doing wrok. i'm using the 2.53 version and load teh template for VCD but the output file has a lot of purple bloches. what do i need to get the purple blotches to go away and get a better out put. i've check the orignal file and it has no blotching, so what am i doing wrong?

this problem is sometimes caused by the "angel potion codec" if you have it get rid of it and try a different codec like maybe "nimo codec"..if this doesnt work you can try to clean it up in the color settings,but try the first one ...

thanks! will give taht a try. any i dea wer i can find nimo codec?

found the nimo codec and uninstall the angel potion and installed nimo but still the same problem. lot of purple blotches.
but thanks for the sugestions!

well i took your advice you gave to someone else and it worked for me! by making changes to the evirmeal setting it claered teh problemb by moving directshow up in piority! thnks!

I am getting the above error when I try to encode a couple of video files I have. Any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks...

the p3p package optimizes tmpgenc for pentium 3,for some reason you are haveing problems with it,one thing you can try is to un-check all the boxes on the "cpu" page under "enviromental settings"(eg;mmx,mmx2,ect),then load the files in tmpgenc,if this doesn"t work try re-installing tmpgenc in yer system...hope this helps?....

This simply happens because :

1. You have not downloaded files correctly
or
2. You have not unziped files correctly
or
3. Your WinZIP or other Unzip program is too old to unzip.
or
4. All /some of above

Hi guy"s,I was wondering if anyone knows were to get or how to make extra templates,my dvd player can play vcd"s/mpeg1 at up to 5000kbs,and I want a template that can make high bitrate vcd"s(xvcd)..I have used c.c.e.to make mpeg1/vcd"s and they turn out as good as svcd"s and sometimes better and it seems that mpeg1 encodeing is much faster than mpeg2,but I can"t use tmpgenc for this without the templates...so can anyone please help? thanx.....

It"s ok I figured it out ,by useing the "unlock" I can change the template settings and save them for next time....

Can a add a subtitlefile with TMPGEnc?
Now I have to first add the subtitle to the avifile with virtualdub and then run TMPGEnc to convert the file to mpg.
It would have been nice to add the subtitle at the same time as converting it.
Is there anybody who knows about a subtitlefilter or some other plugin that works with TMPGEnc?

After 55% of processing I recieved "floating decimal calculation error". what does this mean?

just check/uncheck all the boxes in the quantize matrix settings

While encoding a AVI file to MPEG1 it goes black at a certain point in the conversion every time. It is about 4 1/2 minutes in on the timecode. The original file is good and I have recreated the original in case there was a problem with it and the same result. I have tried 2 different template settings. Any help?

I think you reach a limit in the file size of 4 GB at 4½ minut encoding. Try to cut your original movie into smaller parts each not exceeding 4 minutes. Encode each part and after encoding join the parts with the TMPGENC tool box.

In the Plus Version is a new type of 2-pass encoding. When i use the old type 2-pass, i get exactly the calculated filesize from the wizzard. Using the new type 2-pass the filesize is much smaller. It's fine, so i can use a higher average samplerate. But how can i calculate the bitrate i must use to get a final filesize nearly the capacity of the cdr (90min.)?

Is there any bitrate calculator?

you can download a bunch of different "bitrate calculators" in the tools section at www.vcdhelp.com,I don"t use them so I cant tell you witch one is better....

Besides smaller file (a plus of course) is new 2-pass better in any other way?

I was just wondering... I have several DivX files that play with perfect audio sync on my computer, but if I transcode to SVCD via tmpgenc end up with audio losing sync regardless of what settings I use. Regardless of whether I play them with my computer or my DVD player the output files have the same sync issues. While in DivX format they playback flawlessly though...

Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of checking is to make sure you are encoding to 23.97 framerate, because that is what DivX movies are in. VCD's and some SVCD's are 29.97 so this might cause some sync problems. If you haven't already, try encoding just like a FILM stream DVD: SVCD at 23.97 and use the "3:2 pulldown when playback" setting.

My problem is similar but the oposite. When dealing with SOME DIVX files, I get video only. No audio. The AVI plays in Windows Media Player with audio but without in Premiere and other editing apps.

hey guys,I heard that there is supposed to be a new "demo" version comeing out in the near future,I thought they were supposed to put one out every month so they can get around the mpeg2 copyright laws,It has been close to a month since the last one came out...any one herd anything about this????????

I am using TMPGEnc v2.53 (or whatever the newest version is) to encode a MPEG2 stream to a MPEG1 stream. On my PIII-850 system with 512M of RAM, the encoding starts and then 30 minutes into it crashes. I get the message that the app has caused a error and will be shut down. I am running Win 2000 Pro. On this system, TMPGEnc tells me the expected time to finish the conversion is 2.5 hours. I look at the Dr. Watson dump log, but cannot make any heads or tails of it.

I also have a AMD Athalon 750 system with 768M of RAM and also running Win 2000 Pro. TMPGEnc running the identical conversation as above (MPEG2 to MPEG1), even using the same exact files, finishes no problem. The only thing is the conversion takes 5.5 hours. So, I would like to use the above system to do the conversion.

Does anyone have any idea why the first system always craps out? I have tried older versions of TMPGEnc with the exact same results. Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks!
