OK, so has anyone had success transcoding from a QuickTime .mov file to an MPEG1 or MPEG2 using TMPGEnc?
And before anyone says, "download the plugin from vcdhelp", yes, I have that installed.
Can anyone who has had success please let the rest of us know how you got it working? What QuickTime codec were your source stored in? how many minutes of footage have you successfully encoded at a time? what are the sizes/dimensions of the source files?
thank you.
The quicktime plug-ins (both of them) do NOT work.
They both exhibit frame drop/repeat problems every 10-15
frames, and so are completely unusable.
At the moment I am forced to convert my (uncompressed)
.MOV files to seperate .BMP files (over 19,000 of them)
and extract the sound to a .WAV file with the 'pro'
version of the quicktime player. This is horrible, but
it works.
TmpGenc needs to provide a working .MOV reader of their
own before it is of practical use to all but postage-
stamp sized toy-video makers-
The software loads in Picture It Express 2000. I believe it's not the proper software to open and run TMPG download. Clad DVD also loads the same way. However, Clad DVD and Nero Burning Rom loaded properly into the their own software and running on my computer.
I am new to TMPGenc and have had the oddest problem. Whenever I select an MPEG to convert (latest is a PAL->NTSC conversion), TMPGenc GPFs as soon as I start the conversion process. If I leave the GPF dialog box alone, TMPGenc keeps doing its thing. I am running on an Athlon 1GHz with 640MB memory. Has anyone else had this problem.
Normally I could live with it, but I am wondering if it is contributing to the problem with the PAL->NTSC conversion having no sound (great picture, though).
I am converting an MPEG in PAL VCD format (true blue) to NTSC VCD.
I have tried the same file on two other computers -- a PII 400 and a PIII 500 -- and all works well. I tried turning off the MMX and 3DNow switches...no help.
You are right it is directly related to the reson you are getting no sound.
I guess the file you are converting is MPEG2 because the error refers to the Ligos audio filters.
Try to remove them, but you must be thorough and then re-install them. If that doesn't work remove them and try some other MPEG2 filters.
It makes sense that the GPF occured in the module that handles audio processing. But the root cause of the problem seems to be centered on my Athlon/Win98SE setup. TMPGEnc pukes on *anything* I throw at it. Yet the same files run great on both of two Pentium systems I have tested on. Unfortunately, the Athlon system is my main computer.
I guess there is some conflict between TMPGEnc and the Ligos drivers. My Ligos drivers must have been installed with Ulead DVD Movie Factory. They aren't installed on my PII laptop (TMPGEnc installed, Ulead not installed). I wonder if there is someway to coerce TMPGEnc into not using the Ligos drivers.
Load up the file in TMPGenc you wish to convert and change the settings to the ones you require then click 'File' and choose 'Output to file' from the menu.
Click 'AVI' and in the box that pops up choose where you want to save the file then look to your far right just opposite the 'Video' and 'Audio' boxes and you will just about be able to see the edges of two buttons. The top one is to choose your video codec and the bottom is for your audio codec.
I'm getting sound but a black screen. I'm using the divx 5 bundle pack that I downloaded from download.com. When the encoding finishes, it says successfully completed. Format looks ok, sound it ok, everything is ok but no video. Any help?
Can we multiplex audio and video file with a batch command ??? (ie : i want to run batch processing in dos to multipex a mpeg still picture and a audio file).
Have you tried another operating system ?
I have the same problem, the tmpgenc is halting and I have to kill the application with task manager. The problem occurs not under WIN2000 with the exact same application (because tmpgenc.exe is stored on my second hard disk and I´m changing the operating systems with a changeable hd-bracket.
Probably it will be fixed in next version.
Or somebody can tell why and what to do.
Hmm I don't know if there is a function in Tmpgenc that can CUT away the black bars, the thing is that the movie is probably wide screen from the beginning and thats why they have the black bars. Is there any point in fixing the picture, I wan't to know as well if it is possible.
Hi ppl,
I came across video sequences saved on a frame by frame basis with an extension .yuv. Eg. frame0.yuv, frame1.yuv.....frame200.yuv. I am aware that tmpgenc doesn't seem to like these for input. Any idea how I can overcome this problem (maybe .yuv to .bmp conversion...if anyone knows of a program....or some plugin)?
Secondly, does anyone know of a program to split a big mpeg file into exact lenghts eg. 1 file (of say 10000 frames) split as 10 files of 1000 frames each.
Cheers and thanks for everything.

in the settings options, goto advanced. use the source filter. hit the start frame button, then move the frame u wish too stop encoding at, then hit the finish frame button, click ok and encode. I hope this helps.
