i am using the standard dvd pal template and then authoring with ulead dvd movie factory and/or sonic dvdit se but still the same .
video quality is superb but audio go,s adrift after about 10 mins,but when previewing the file before burning there are no signs of sync probs throughout the movie? can anyone help.

if audio is slower than video then lower the video frame rate

hi,
i want to "simple multiplex" a mpeg file that i have (500meg)
i go in the MPEG tools,
then i choose "MPEG-1 Video-CD", i enter my file, then i click run,
i work fine but it stop at 50% (240meg) without any error message!

i have downloaded the latest version 2.53.35.130

what can i do to convert the entire file?

I used TMPG 2.51 to convert an avi file to MPEG 1 (PAL) and it worked superbly firstime round on my DVD player (Scan 2000). After installing 2.53 none of my current conversions work on my DVD player but work fine on my PC. Does anyone know where I can find TMPG 2.51 or what is wrong with 2.53?

Thanks
Q

Anyone useing VideoPack 5.0 to 5.1? I can't access any of my .mpg files with TMPGEnc anymore just my AVI files. I've changed the options in the vpr. enviromental settings but when I access the file it closes TMPG down and then returns to the old settings. There seems to be a conflict between the two of them. Any help here would be appreciated.

I have been using tmpgenc 12a without problems for vcd (PAL) GOP12, vidrate 1152000, but in this version (2.5.3) I get error blocks and corruption at a few points (less than 1%) in the mpeg, but ONLY on my DVD player (Hitachi DVP250), it plays fine in Windows and on my CD-i player. I have only tried with 1 mpeg/VCD (64min) so far.

Also, isn't it time the VCD mpegs were Philips VCD2TK compliant straight away without demux/remux with toolkit?

Hallo, ich wollte eine Super VCD Film in Video CD Format umwandeln das klappt aber nit so, die Film Spur macht er aber bei der Ton Spur sagt er can not open... usw. !!! Ich habe das Tsunami-Filter Pack drauf und alles andere klappt auch nur gibt es da nicht eine einfache L Ôung ??? Bitte helft mir !!!

Here is what I am trying to do... I now am exporting my Premiere timeline (as AVI files) to a network computer I have dedicated to running TMPGEnc 24/7. Now the question is, how can I control TMPGEnc from the remote workstation? I guess I could telnet in and run it from the command line, but so far I've been unable to locate the TMPGEnc-Plus operating manual. I assummend once I paid my $49 dollars I'd get a link to it, but so far nothing. GUI operation would be preferable to command line, but either will do as long as I have the information I need to set it up. Suggestions?

WinVNC will allow you to control a remote computer through a windowed interface, putting a copy of the remote computeres desktop on your screen. I have been using it for a number of years to control my servers, and it works fine. It is a FREE product from those fine people at the AT&T laboratories.

The link to their product is:

Good Luck

Thank you for the great reference. Looks perfect. I'm downloading the files and doc's now. I tried using Remote Desktop with Netmeeting, but it didn't work out. First thing tomorrow I'll give this a try.

Just wanted to thank you again. Program works fantastic...much better than the way I was doing things. Quite a find...

Hi I Dl an eval Copy. I do video editing on a MAC but was told this MPEG2 converter was much better on my PC. My Question is how do you encode the MP2 in DVD NTSC without the audio? I need to keep them sepatate to import into DVD studio pro on MAc I can check off video only but it seems only in mpeg1 mode Thanks wizrdman

Just select the video ONLY option, near the settings frame.

Techno I have downloaded part of the file from the link ftp://ftp.imbetterthanyou.com/pub/incoming/techno/lb-my_way.mpg

I must say I was unfortunately unimpressed by the quality and was expecting better. Of the 15mb which I downloaded, there is low evidence of macroblocks, but I think this is due to the fact that the image is blurred and has extreme loss of detail. There is also some evidence of A/V sync problems and low sound quality.

You may have better and I would expect better from MPEG2.
Below is a link to a 30 sec clip of American Pie2 I have converted to Mpeg2 SVCD.
Even though this MPEG2 file is of much higher quality, without macroblocks than your MPEG2 and has the same audio bitrate, the 30 second clip is actually smaller in file size than a 30 sec clip of the one I have downloaded from you.
Incidentally this movie is 1hr 46 mins and easily fits on to two 80 mins Cd's as do all the movies I create.

If anyone would care to look here is the link.

Give me your opinion.

ASHY, excuse me...

I don't think the MPEG2 filters u r using a giving u the CORRECT quality, there are no a/v synch issues, been tested by myself on 5 machines, and 54 people in America and say it is great.

I hope you are not trying to start up something.

THIS STUFF IS CAPTURED!!!!!!!!!!! VERY HARD TO ACHEIVE GOOD QUALITY.

Techno

1) Use the correct Filters
2) it is not blocky
3) it is not blurry

I can confirm this.

DVDGUY also says it is really good, from a captured source.

My friends can also confirm this.

Please ASHY, no fights, just good "pals" if you like.

Please let me know when u get the correct filters.

Techno

The filters I happen to be using are WinDVD filters. So nothing wrong there. Capture or not I still think it's poor quality and there is slight A/V desync. I did say you probably had better. Why don't you upload a small clip of a DVD rip. I'd like to see your work on this. But it must be similar in size to mine.

I will be posting some new links to the above file as the that link obviously doesn't work.
Ashy

DO NOT USE THE WINDVD FILTERS!!!!!

use the ligos filters

thank-you

Techno

I don't do dvdrip ASHY, I only capture!

there are known issues with the winDVD filters, please use:

Techno

done yet?

Everytime I try to use the project wizard its empty and I have nothing to select from. I can't figure out what is wrong. Please help, very frustrated

For Win NT/9X check in 'Control Panel', 'System', 'Environment', 'User Variables for administrator' TEMP and TMP is set to existing directory.

Hi,
Try this: Go in your Windows Explorer. Create a file named Tmpgenc in Programs Files. Go back in your Unzip program where Tmpgenc was unzipped. Select Extract. Choose to extract in C:/Program files/Tempgenc. Then start Tempgenc from the Explorer. And Bob is your uncle.

I have loaded temeng, with the project file loader(t4empeng.vfp), everytime
i try to load the video, it keeps saying d2v cannot open or unsupported.
any answers...

try to increase the dvd2avi vfapi to a higher priority in the environment settings, shafiq my brother.

Techno

I had this problem until I reduced the audio bitrate in tempeng from 324 (or whatever the default they have for mpeg2) to 128. I found this out by hacking it to accept a file. Then when the sound went loud, it garbled, amking it sound like the bitrate was too high for the program to handle.

Now I ma having a weird error from DVDit fro files encoded by tempeng. It says video picture size larger than buffer. Anyone know why?

I've created an AVI in virtual dub, using audio of 44.1KHz and video size of 352*288 (PAL VCD format). When I play back the AVI the sound seems fine. When I convert to MPG1 for VCD using TMPG the sound becomes really load and peaks a lot of the time when played back.

Any suggestions appreciated.

hi mark. i got the same problem here. i`ll try some other, diff. audio-settings later. i`ll let you know.

TRY USE UNCOMPRESS AUDIO (pcm format) in the AVI file
