increase the 2 avi filters in the environment options to a higher priority.

Also, if it is a DIVX file, make sure u have installed the DIVX codecs.

if u can't open avi files, increase the 2 avi options to a higer priority in the environment settings.

Then open the avi and choose settings and encode!

beatlenuts  2002-03-30 20:40:16 ( ID:dkamuta9jon )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have used Virtual Dub 1.48 to create the wav file for audio. When I used TMPG to do the conversion I used the Divx file for Video and the Wav file for audio. The sound is much further ahead than the video. What I am doing wrong. By the way I did change the settings to 44100hz as I have seen suggested. Any ideas what to do next.

Question - Sound speed different from picture speed No.17586
Morten  2002-03-30 19:42:11 ( ID:7vay9rphki6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have converted an avi fil to mpg and after that made a vcd out of it. But i have a problem: the sound runs with normal speed, but the picture sometime moves slower and gets behind the sound, for then later to catch up with it. There doesn't seem to be any problem with the mpg-fil, and i have used NTI CD-maker to make the vcd. I burned i with 4x speed (HP cd-burner 4*2*32). What have i done wrong? Would it f.x. fix it if i burned with only 1x speed?

Hope you can help me

sherlock  2002-03-31 09:30:18 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have had the same problem,what works for me is to choose the highest quality setting(very slow) and multi-plex it,then de-multiplex,this works for me,and uping the bit rate helps to ,I can play vcd"s with 2250kbs fine on my player,and the quality is as good as svcd,but a little faster to encode than svcd.if you haven"t figured out how to up the bitrate on mpeg 1,you can e-mail me.......sherlock

Hello everybody !

I would like to know which encoder is the best for highest pic quality : TMPGEnc or CinemaCraft ?

Time process doesnt matter, I just need to have video encoded in the highest picture quality .

Also, what is the setting for such highest pic quality (footage is about 70 minutes)

Thanks in advance !
Vic


Techno  Home )  2002-03-30 19:20:42 ( ID:82zqdopxre6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

That depends on a few things.

Are you trying to do DVD or SVCD (MPEG2)? If so, it depends on the quality of filters you use, such as:

LSX
powerdvd
windvd
vob filters
fraunhofer

Also, depends if TMPGENC can open the MPEG2 files.

If you have got good filters then I would say TMPGENC because it is easy, simple and fast.

sherlock  2002-03-31 09:22:13 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

your right techno,tmpgenc does have better quality cuz it has good filters,for me if I have a really good quality avi. I use "cinema Craft" cuz it is 10 times faster,but tmpgenc is more versitile and less complicated, so "victor" if you want the best quality with "tmpgenc" under "motion precition search" choose the best quality"very slow" and the higher the bitrate the better the quality...


Ashy  2002-03-31 13:07:44 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I will agree that TMPG is the best encoder by far for MPEG1 but Cinemacraft has the edge on it as far as quality in MPEG2 is concerned.
I have done many tests with both programs. Encoding at different bitrates and comparing to see which one gives the best picture and file size.
I can conclude that Cinemacraft does definitely give a better picture quality for MPEG2. For example there seems to be less visible macro blocks at a given bitrate than TPMG produces.
This program should give better quality too as even though it can do MPEG1 it is primarily designed for commercial production of MPEG2 and at a cost of $2000 dollars you would expect this.
The advantage TMPG has is it's versatility, i.e being able to change the frame size and use certain filters, but these filters can be applied to Cinecraft by using TMPG as a frame server.
The way I do it is to set everything up as if I was going to use TMPG to encode then save it as a project.
Then use the VFAPI converter to create a valid AVI for Cinemacraft.
Open the AVI in Cinecraft, change the settings in Cinecraft to however you want the movie encoded and then set it going.
Cinecraft will then encode using the filters from TMPG which will give you a movie with the correct frame size which can be burnt as SVCD and as a plus point is usually a bit quicker than TMPG.
Like I say for MPEG1 you won't find a better encoder than TMPG and I've used most of them, but the proof is in pudding so give the above a shot (including you Techno if you already haven't because I'd like to know what YOUR opinion is of this method).

TMPGenc rocks for DIVX encoding. :o) Hay question do you know when the author is going to fix the display problem with AVI output selection buttons for Video and Audio codec selection? They barely show up in XP I can just see the outer edge which is enough to click on any way. Which settings do choose when you make your DIVX movie for video and MP3? ~best regards NewtronX

Question - TMPGENC will not open MPEG 2 files No.17558
Techno  Home )  2002-03-30 13:25:07 ( ID:82zqdopxre6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have some MPEG2 filters so TMPGENC can open MPEG 2 files.

But, sometimes it doesn't work.

I have installed and removed these filters:

nimo codec pack
LSX
fraunhofer
freedvd
al-filters
Cyberlink powerdvd

and sometimes these work. But if it does then TMPGENC does not open the files or crashes when encoding.

Any help is appreciated

PEACE AND RESPECT

If you don't already have this filter then try this one Techno.
http://www.dvd-digest.tv/downloads/files/encode/m2v_vfp-0.4.6.zip
It seems to me to be the best one and never fails to open my Mpeg2 files.

Download and extract the zip then place all the files in your TMPG folder.

TMPGEnc does NOT open/read MPEG-2 files directly!

You need to remember that TMPGEnc relies on directshow of Windows.
This means that depends on codec you have installed, some files can be read, some can not be read.


Ashy  2002-03-30 17:24:26 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

RX exactly what is your point. I think we already know we need codecs. Thats why we have the MPEG2 codecs as mentioned above.

Techno it seems to me you have far too many conflicting filters installed there. For example why do you need the FreeDVD filters and Power DVD filters together. If it was me I would uninstall all MPEG2 filters and just install Power DVD and the above mentioned MPEG2 codec as all I can say is I have never had a problem with it, audio or otherwise.

I cannot open files in TMPGENC and in windows, even if I RE-REGISTER them

RX, TMPGENc CAN open MPEG2 files, I have done it before and TMPGENC can encode MPEG2 files and open them, depends if u have the correct codec/filter installed.

format the hdd and install Windows manually. Then, after installing drivers, install the vob filters (from me: www.os1.150m.com/tmpgenc/filters/mpeg2/vob_filters_104.zip) and it should open the files.

Question - very little pauses during playback No.17549
Nobody-s-perfect  2002-03-30 13:10:57 ( ID:cmypcqutiql )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When converting AVI to MPEG using TMPGenc, it converts a few seconds and then itconverts the next few seconds. The film shows this when looking at the endresult. It looks like it makes a very little pauses during the playback.
How can I prevent this?
Thanks in advance.


Ashy  2002-03-30 16:13:51 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Does this happen on your PC or just your dvd player. Are you using the right template for your T.V. system. You must select either PAL 25fps or NTSC 29.97 depending on your system otherwise your DVD player will convert it and cause choppy playback.


Nobody-s-perfect  2002-03-30 18:29:07 ( ID:cmypcqutiql )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for the answer, a choppy playback is indeed what's happening. I use a DVDplayer to play de VCD's make.
I'm using the template which gives 'Video-CD PAL (MPEG-1 352x288 25fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)' which fits the Dutch television standard.
Maybe it is caused by the template? I'm using the right template. So all the VCD I'm using have this problem.


Dennis Dibbets  2002-03-31 00:50:31 ( ID:jg01lrvybyc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

This choppy playback is my problem too. I'm using all the correct parameters, such as framerate conversion from 29,97 to 25fps (europe, pal). The choppy result shows on both computer and dvd-players (i've tried different players). The problem couldn't be my cpu (PIII-450), since i've tried tmpgenc on an dual PIII-1000Mhz, wich causes the same problem. The codecs are also working fine.... Is there anyway to solve this problem?

Thankx....

sherlock  2002-03-31 09:38:25 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

try cranking up the bit rate,I used to get those problems with every movie i did,but now I do vcd"s at 1500-2250kbs and my choppy-ness and sync problem are gone,plus the quality is 100% better,and my dvd player has no problem with them and nero still recognizes them as compliant vcd files.and I multi-plex all my vcd"s now and this seems to help...hope it helps....sherlock


Ashy  2002-03-31 23:47:03 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If your source framerate is different than your destination framerate then this is why you are getting choppy playback.
Whenever you change the frame rate from say 29.97fps to 25fps when encoding to MPEG then you will have choppy playback or vice versa if you change 25fps to 29.97 then the result will be the same.
The only way around this is to change the frame rate of the avi prior to encoding it to MPEG, but the only drawback of this is that you will lose sync with the audio due to the fact that changing the frame rate changes the length of the movie.
Now there is a way to acheive the correct framerate for your T.V. system without the choppy playback and have perfect A/V sync, but I'm not going to post the instructions on how to do this unless you repost and request them as I don't want to waste my time posting incase you do not read this post.
If you do want the info then repost with the specs of your original AVI.

Of course DVD2AVI can make AVI, but it's not recommended as it doesn't give you enough control. Especially as there are better and faster programs for the task.
Try this one called RIPITALL. http://www.megagames.com/console/cd/ripitall.zip
This program is complete package utilizing all the best encoding tools with a easy to use interface and also comes with a wizard. This is the best and easiest program I've used.
