I have tried twice to convert a certain avi file to mpeg. It has stopped at 89% both times. I received an error message of Illegal floating decimal point calculation order. Can someone translate that error message to English for me. Just joking. I'm not a computer guru as you can tell. Help, please.
You might be asked what the details are of the input file and your output selections in TMPGEnc, and your PC info (processor type/speed, windows version, and memory, and how big your output file is getting in Gigs - defrag the drive and have plenty of room available?).
What is the title of the box that gives the error display?
If it happens at the same spot every time then it is corrupted frames in your avi file,to get around this you will have to disable the "floating point" encodeing system, do this by go to your "cpu" tab in "enviromental settings" and un-tick all the boxes, then go to the "quantize matrix" tab in the "settings" and un-tick everything there. this will solve your problem but it will take a lot longer to encode.What would be easier is to use the source range and encode the last part that you didn"t get and then join the two parts with the "merge& cut" feature in "mpeg tools".......
i have started getting this same message at 0% when i try and open ANY file (AVI, MPG, MOV). I will try tinkering the Quantise Matrix but if anyone can - Help! I am using a Pentium3 @800mhz and 512Mb RAM and it used to work fine. The same files work on other, lesser machines... Help!
After an error while creating an mpeg, is it possible to begin again where the last try left off? I was at 96% and it takes me a couple hours to make an mpeg out of an avi. If I can start where I left off, or can't please help.

Load your MPEG movie into TMPG then click File>preview.
Move the slider to the very end, just to be sure click the arrow a few times then note the frame count in the top left.
Then load your avi again and click setting>advanced and tick the source range filter then double click it.
In this box type in the frame count into the 'start frame' box then click 'move to start frame' and then 'set start frame'.
Move the slider to the end of the movie and repeat the above steps to set the end frame of the movie then encode.
Finally merge the two together by using MERGE&CUT in MPEGtools and adding your files making sure the beginning of the movie is first in the list to give you a full movie.
I have multiple episodes of Stargate SG-1 in DivX avi format, however - they require the ac3 audio codec. I would like to convert these avi's into VCD's, but TMpgEnc will not recognise the ac3 audio in the avi file.
Am I stuck with these episodes in avi format, or is there some workaround ???
I wish people would get off their lazy asses and search on this board before posting.
I'm getting fed up of replying to the same thing over and over and over again.
For the last time see this article rgarding your problem:
Question - audio error No.20276
Well..it's flaming annoying that people clog up this board with the same question thats been answered a 1000 times already just because they are to damn lazy to search first.
OK guys i need you all to help me with TMPGEnc settings to get the best possible picture quality from a conversion of a divx-avi file to an MPEG 1 or 2 format! The mpeg files will NOT be stored on a cd! They will be stored on a hard drive so i wont need to worry about file size! These files will be played on a tv so i have to get the best possible picture from them........
I'm not being funny about this, but what you are suggesting is totally pointless.
What is the point of converting from a perfectly good AVI to an MPEG file which will just give you a larger file and no increase whatsoever in image quality if you are just going to store it on the hard drive???
Sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it?
Is there a way to increase the "DVD-speed" in Smart Ripper 2.41?
on one machine (P3-700mhz) I get 3.5 + on the speed
on my home (Athlon 1.4ghz) I get 2.0 or below...
yes, DMA is turned on...

How fast you can rip depends on you DVD drive and how fast your hardrive is.
First make sure you aspi layer is up to date.
Don't go with ASPI 4.7 as I find it has problems with some software stick with ASPI 4.6 as smart ripper is optimized for this.
You say DMA is turned on. Is it enabled for both hard drive and the DVD drive?
Another important one is make sure your DVD drive is set as a primary drive not a slave.
And last but not least disable the S.M.A.R.T. feature in your bios for your hard drive.
With these settings my Pioneer 10x DVD drive went from a maximum rip speed of 6 to a maximum of 9.2x!
Ashy, how would I check the aspi version?
both my CD drives run off the same IDE cable, so one is a slave, one is a master... but how would you know that without cracking open the case?
I've updated to Nero's aspi drivers...and that helped a little.
I'm using a 1.4gig athlon and a 122gig maxtor drive with a 16x dVD.
I still only get about 4 on the dvd drive speed.
hhmmmmmm.....
You can check which drive is on which IDE channel when your PC boots up. Just look at the configuration settings screen when you boot and here will be a list of devices your cdrom devices will be listed and should say either primary or slave. To stop the screen so you can look just press the 'Pause' button then press enter to resume.
And just to repeat, make sure the SMART feature is off. This will speed things up.
Also don't have any packet writing software installed.
Disable your antivirus software.
If you have Nero installed, uninstall Easy cd creator if you have it installed as these two programs conflict.
What operating sytem are you using and what is the model of your DVD drive. Is it a Toshiba by any chance?

Problem: screeching/chirping/pinging noise in final mpg file
I use
smart ripper 2.41
DVD2AVI 1.75
TmpgEnc 2.53
VCDEasy 1.09
If I split the file WHILE encoding, the audio is fine.
If I use the "mpg tools" in TmpgEnc to split or merge,
the screeching appears in the audio track.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Don't know if it's fixed yet with 2.54. Will test.

The first time I used the program, everything ran great. Seems to be a good program. Then I ripped another DVD to M2v and AC3, converted AC3 to Wav and went into TMPGenc to Encode into MPG. The Video Seems to load fine in the wizard, but when you go to The bitrate conversion screen with the bar at the bottom that shows how big you file is going to be there is now bat, and it says that size is .03 MB. I do the same thing w/ only the audi and it shows fine. I assume there is something wrong with the m2v file, but I can play it fine in windows media player, and ReMPEG2 reencodes the same file fine. Help Please, much rather use this program...
What do you mean you ripped the DVD to M2v and ac3
Why did you do that?
Just use the DVD2AVI method which is much simpler and faster and won't give you the problem you are having which I guess is due to the fact you don't have an MPEG2 codec installed to open the file.
I am getting a can find format error when I try to convert my divx to vcd.
do I need a plugin ? If so wheere can I get all the
peg plugins
I have the 4.11 , 5.0 divix encoder install on xp os.
Running TMPEGenc 2.53 on XP (Intel 2Ghz, 512MByte memory)
TMPEGenc crashes in some cases when merging large MPEG2 files
because of lack of memory. However, this is strange because
in some cases it successfully merges even larger files (up to 4.5 GByte).
The behaviour is always the same: the error occurs after finishing
the video and audio part when writing the file on disk. After about
700Mbyte the required virtual memory increases from about 130MByte
to more than 2Gbyte until XP finally gives up.
