Has anyone else noticed that there is still a watermark in the upper-righthand corner after encoding to MPEG2 with the Plus version?

Any idea how to get rid of this thing? I wouldn't have paid $40 for the full version if I knew there would STILL be a watermark there.

Uhm... but don't get me wrong. I love this software otherwise and that is why I spent the money in the first place.

Thank you!!! :-) :-)

JR

that is really strange cuz my demo of tmpgenc plus doesn"t have a water mark and I don"t think I have ever heard of a water mark in tmpgenc,what does it look like?are you sure that it isn"t a glitch in your file?....

If you are using the Elecard free Mpeg2 software, you will get a small logo/watermark in the upper right corner. Use a different video filter and it should resolve that.

if u want to get rid of the logo, then download the other mpeg2 codec from my site:

www.os1.150m.com/tmpgenc/filters/mpeg2/vob.htm

uninstall all dvd software, inc elecard
install this
all should be well,

let me know of any probs

Oh geez, yeah I am using the Elecard MPEG2 player. Is there a good player that is freeware that you can recommend?

Thanks for all the help!

Peace.

Ok I installed those filters, and uninstalled Elecard.

Now I can play MPEG2 files in Windows Media Player 6.4, but not version 7. Are there filters / codecs for version 7 as well?

Thanks again!

Peace.

When I go to encode a divx file, the first frame remains the same at the top as it is encoded while the bottom half is black white mess. I have used virtualdub to encode to divx by divx4, and they play fine until I try to encode them.

Is the video you are encoding in multiples of 16? (ie. 320 / 16 = 20)
Both the height and the width must be in multiples of 16 pixels, otherwise the video gets distorted.
Hope that helps.

I am uncertain how or why this is happening, but on several occasions The disk drive on which I run TMPGEnc has had its disk partition and file system corrupted and lost during the encoding process. There appears to be no physical disk problem as a surface scan reveals no errors and this only occurs when TMPGEnc is executing. This disk is dedicated to the encoder nothing else ever operates on it. This occurs when the disk nears capacity. There appears to be sufficient space on the drive to complete the operation. This is a Win98 HP 8575c system with an added 40 Meg Segate IDE drive with a FAT32 file system. The version of TMPGenc is v2.02. I am perfectly willing to upgrade to v2.53 if this will solve it but I can find no reference to any such problems on the BBS.

What OS is it? 98first edition or 98SE????

I have never heard or seen this issue before.

MPEG encoders cannot crash a system, it must be something else...

Techno

It was Win98SE. That's what I figured. I couldn't understand how an application could crash a file system if its using standard Windows fileio. You wouldn't have access to the partition directly to trash it. The disk was being used constantly for other things prior to the point when I began encoding SVCDs. After losing a few hundred mp3s and MPEGSs and Apps I only use the disk for ripping and encoding. I continues to happen if I allow it to get near capacity. At 40Gigs that means more than one or two movies. I guess I'll just swap out the disk with another and see it it persists.

HellO!

I have problems opening Divx avi movies in Tmpeg. I always get the error "unable to open or unsupported". I tried the trick with increasing the priority and all that stuff but nothihng seems to help. really desperate here.

increase the opendml and the driectshow and the open vfw filters to a higher priority in the environment settings.

Techno

what is all that opendml,direct show, and openvfw filters?. please help

Go into the environment settings (options > environment settings, then vfapi plugin)

I noticed when I used TMPG Enc latest version that it copied it just fine. I had a movie that was about a little over 2 hours long so I went to tools and cut the movie in half so it would fit on 2 cd's. There is a very little slight delay in the speech and the lips when they are talking. Hardly noticeable but annoying too. I still have the original mpeg on my hard drive and there is no problems with it. Both sound and lips are in sync. Anyone know why?

What software r u burning svd's or vcd's? Try decreasing the frame rate.

Techno

I'm using Nero's latest version.

What speed are you burning at? With Nero burning vcd's or svcd's it helps out alot if you drop the burn speed, personally i use 4x when burning anything that i want to keep and use alot.

I burned them at 4X. Maybe I'll just try burning them again and see what happens.

I can't seem to get the template page when pressing the load button on the it just takes me to the temp folder.I can't find the template window anywhere.

any suggestions

Are you taking the Michael or what? Its in your TMPGenc folder not your Temp folder. Obvious I would have thought.

Well I wanted to store my large DV AVI files as MPEG2s and use TMPGEnc to do it.....but I found that TMPGEnc brightens the video oh so slightly on each encoding. Techno guy confirms this also. So that means if, in the future, I want to edit different versions of a file stored...then it would pass through
TMPGEnc twice and be brighten twice. UUUgggh! Need to use another MPEG2 encoder that doesn't brighten each time you encode!!! Any suggestions?? Steve

Just use the custom/basic colour crrection filter in teh advacned settings to brighten it down.

Techno

well I just burned my first svcd,but when I play it in my player it shakes side to side really badly,it is like an earth quake,does any one know why this is ,and how to fix it,I did get an error when multi-plexing "buffer underflow in 2234 packets" could this be what is wrong? thanx

Did you use the correct framerate???

I had a similar problem, with a few vob files. I downloaded the latest version of TMPGENC and rebooted my computer, worked fine after that.

It must be the buffer underflow error,I only get this error when I use the vfapi converter to make fake avi."s..........

I encoded a movie in .mpg from DivX .avi. It took 4 hours. Then I have a bad sound and no image... I selected size 352x240, aspect ration 4:3, frame rate 29,97. What's going on ??? Thanks someone.

I made my first movie dvd using this guide. Follow the directions to the tee and see the result.

http://www.dvdripguides.com/dvdrip1a.html

Latest TMPGEnc 2.53 corrupts all my MJPEG files - only the top line is displayed, the rest of the image is a grid of dots. Both in preview and conversion.

I've tried all the environment settings I can think of. Different source resolutions etc.. still no differences.

v2.01 used to work fine! I'm using an Athlon 1.2Ghz, Win98, 256Mb, Matrox Marvel G200 capture card. Matrox codec is used.

Can anyone help please??

hi,I have never done a svcd before but I did one last night,but I can"t get nero to burn it ,when I drag the file over to the window in nero ,nero says it isn"t compliant ,it says I need mpeg 1 for vcd ,and when I select svcd and click on open and choose my svcd compilation the screen goes to the begining of nero(without the wizard) and then I drag my compilation over,and it says I need mpeg1 for vcd,but I dont want vcd,can some one please help cuz I"m new to svcd"s....thanx

I figered it out,and yes I"m a dummy......

The easiest way to do a SVCD (at least I think that) is to use two different software. First; create a "cue" file with VCDeasy 1.0.9 (www.vcdhelp.com) with the SVCD compliant. Second; Start Nero and close wizard and on the file menu access the "burn image.." option, select the cue file (usually called VIDEOCD.CUE) and burn it.

Also, on WWW.VCDHELP.COM, there are a lot of different softwares.

I got about 73% through converting and i got an error that started with the word index...(but i cant remember the rest... I know that the error number was 272... If u know why this would have occurred, what can i do to avoid this next time?
