i viewed the mgeg i created and the motion is stop move. is this bc i put the motion on normal. if so how do i fix it.

it took me 4hrs to encode avi file movie from kazaa using tmpg then i burned it on nero as a vcd nothing works the dvd player says no disc am i wasting my time what am i doing wrong dvd player supports vcd

check the compatability of your dvd player and see if it will even play vcd's.

Try blanking a cdrw CD then writing the VCD to that...your dvd player may only support cdrw disks

Never ever do an full encode without testing. Its disgusting to realize afterwards that something went wrong.

Use the source range to encode an 5 minute sample and burn it to an CD-RW and see what happens. Change around the settings until youre satisfied. It saved me alot of hazzle

The mgeg2 is an action film if this might help

i have version 2.53 and cannot seem to figure out just how to merge two mpeg2 files together. I want to merge them together and then cut them into three seperate files. I know were the tool is but just can't figure it out. Help needed please.

TMPGEnc only officially supports files encoded by TMPGEnc for Merge/Cut feature. So your file may not be accepted.

There might be a way that you re-encode all first, then merge/cut.

Remember, TMPGEnc supports files which:

1. was encoded by TMPGEnc
2. does not have broken frame(audio/video)
3. is within MPEG standard

so if someone just download a file from somewhere and do not know what kind
of detailed format it is, TMPGEnc will probably not accept the file, or/and
(The author of) TMPGEnc does not wrrant/support results.

they are tmpgenc encoded mpeg2 files

Open the MPEGtools and click the Merge&Cut option.
Add all the files one after the other using the Add button in the order you want them merged.
Choose your output, make sure you click the 'correct' button then click run.

If you have any problems opening ANY mpegs with TMPG, post back and I'll give you the solution how to overcome this.

I know this is not a sight for this kind of question. But I am desperatly looking for a tv tuner program that have really good recording capabilities on it. I need it for Windows XP. Please help me! -J

I take it you mean capture software.
Try this. it's the best I've used so far.
It's specifically made for windowsxp and has features a lot of other capture software doesn't have.
I find this is even better than Virtualdub as Virtualdub doesn't allow me to capture at full resolution with my WinTV GO, but this software lets me capture at 640x480.

Ashy, I believe that is a hack or clone of Win TV.

I don't know where you got that info from, but it doesn't resemble The WINTV interface or it's features in any shape or form.
If it was a hack of WinTV I don't think it would allow me to capture at 640x480 as WinTV doesn't.

Also if I remember rightly the WinTV interface doesn't allow selection of a codec and doesn't have any of the filter options.
This is also the only capture program I have used which correctly allows the display and use of the WinTV go control options. Even virtualdub doesn't use these properly or allow 640x480 resolutions with WinTV go.

If what you say is correct, and I doubt it, then it's one hell of a good hack because as far as I'm concerned it improves on the WinTV interface and options 100x and doesn't crash or drop as many frames.

So all in all I think I'll stick with it, hack or not.

Thanx.

ASHY

Ashy, thanks for the link to that software, looks like I'll be starting a Windows 2000 system soon, so this looks good.

What is a decent but cheap capture card with analog and/or svhs video input?

I saw one or two recommended but didn't write it down :(

Like I don't need a tuner on the card, but I might think about that too.

Thanks for all.

Hi

already tried to find the answer but was not succesfull.

Ok here is the problem:

when I try to convert a DivX file does not matter what version 3,4 or 5 all have the problem that the screen stays black but the sound is there after converting the movie. I don't know what to do! DivX movies are playing fine in the Media Player for example so the codecs are installed properly.
I am using Win2000 though.

Any suggestions?
Thanx
S.

umm you need to go to environmental settings and turn up the priority for the vfapi plugin at least thats what I had to do.

Madhatta, out

Hi, I am wondering if there is any way to convert an avi file that is compressed using DV compression (microsoft DV or something of the like) to MPEG or MPEG 2 using TMPGenc? The program gives an error when ever I try to load a file that is compressed with DV. The only way around this I have found is to do this without loosing quality is do decompress the DV file down to uncompressed frames and then load that avi into TMPGenc and then it works fine. However the 1 to 8 expantion required for this makes it prohibative for avi's longer than about 10 minutes (2 gig DV -> 16 gigs for the uncompressed frames file).

I was wondering if anyone has a better solution for this problem, or if a new version of TMPGenc is going to come out that will address this issue.

I think "tmpgenc" is only compatable with type 2 dv files and video for windows dv,but not sure, try raising the "open dml" and "vfw" filters in the "vfapi plugins" and this might help....

Somebody told me I could use TMPG Enc for encoding mov. files into mpg files.But it doesn't work,what i'm I doing wrong ????????

you need to get the "mov QT plugin" to do mov files ,I don"t use mov files so I can"t tell you were to get it but try the tools section in vcdhelp.com...

You need a file calles qt.vfp or qtread.vfp.
Just type 'quicktime vfp' in Google and you should find it. Mind you though, it's not perfect. I often get errors while converting mov files.

when loading .d2v I get cannot open file or not supported.I can load audio fine.I used it before ok no probs,I'm using xp hope thats not it.Thanks for any advise.

I've been using TMPGEnc for a while and every so often I get this proble when trying to edit a mpg file - TMPGEnc won't output more that about 11 mins of the file.

The video I'm trying to split is 713Mb and I want to split it into scenes.

There's plenty of disk space available for the output file. So why won't it do more than 11 mins (109Mb).

I just downloaded the new 2.54 with the same result

Grateful for any help/advice

i had the same problem before and found that the mpeg was corrupt. but the coruption was at the end of the film, i could split the first part but the second would only split about 30 mins , there should have been about 60 mins worth. the mpeg would play ok on media player and power dvd player "strange i know"

When I merged several (10) mpeg files using TMPGEnc Plus MPEG Tools, it merges OK but when playing on Windows Media Player (or another) it shows that the length is much shorter (~1/9) than it actually is. Is there a way to correct this?

I have an video with a ratio of 640 to 272. Which settings are required to produce an mpeg-file preserving the aspect ratio for use on a 4/3 TV display without cutting the frames on the left and right side.
