What you should do is give us more infirmation, like what are the specs of your file, like resolution, framerate, codec, audio format, and what your you trying to do "svcd/vcd/dvd/mpeg1/2" and how are you doing it....
I'm a newbe and reading a lot of stuff about problems and tricks for encoding.
Using tmpgenc i like to find somewhere the information about all the possible
adjustments and what the effect are using them.
simple how do i make a good DVD from a with RT2000 DV captured movie (10min)
with plays with HQ on a set top and computer.....
Hi,
I have a avi film, i try to encode it to mpeg, tmgpe accepts it but when it starts to encode the film there is a breaking picture and i cant see nothing. The sound is excellent. Most of my other avi files work fine. i have been told to download a codec which i have but that doesnt make much of a difference. I was also told to delete tmpge and the codecs and re-install them which i have but again no difference. could you please help me with my situation. thanks!
It has something to do with your avi file,write back with the specs of the file , like the codec,framerate,audio format, and what you are encodeing to ,vcd,svcd,dvd, and where did you get the file ,is it downloaded of the net, capture card?......
I can convert PAL DVD movies to a mpg file fine but when I try to do it with an NTSC movie I get the following error :
Write error occurred at address 004028A9 of module TMPGenc.exe wit 008F0A94
This happens just as the encoding process reaches its end, a file is generated at the 95-98% completion mark. I use the standard NTSC template with the following settings : interlaced, top field first, 4:3 NTSC 525 Line Aspect ratio.
After I rip DVD to HD , I use DVD2AVI to extract video at 29.97 framerate. On Audio I use Graphedit to extract Wav file. I then encode with TMPGEnc 2.54 Plus using wizard using DVD, ntsc, mpeg-2, 720x480, 29.97 fps, cbr 3000,... layer-2 48000 Hz, 384kbps audio . I want to get movie on 4.7 gb DVD-R. It seems the audio is always out of sync with the video on the final output mpeg file. Can anyone give me some tips or solution to problem??? I am about to pull out my hair.
Try extracting the audio with "dvd2avi"seeing as it is makeing your "d2v" file it might have better sync with it"s own extracted audio file...What way is it out of sync? does it start in sync and go out of sync or does it start out of sync and stay the same amount out of sync the whole why through?There are tools that let you multiplex your audio and video but off set the audio or video so you can fix the de-sync, "bbmpeg" does this with mpeg files.....
What do you mean "what is the max bitrate" the max bitrate is what ever you set it at, the max for the "dvd" standard is 9.8mbs, It depends on what you are doing eg,vcd,svcd,dvd as to what you set the max bitrate at....
i mean for an svcd, sorry. Some people say 2600, some f.e. 2300, some say less than 3000. And does the average bitrate match with the cd size i calculated?
Can you tell me about YUY2, YV12, rgb24 and rgb32? whats that? whats the best?
for svcd if you are trying to keep total compliance you would use the standard svcd template which has a cbr encodeing method, but the bitrate or encodeing method generally don"t make a differance as compliance goes, I usually set the bitrate to as high as I can set it and still fit it in a cd, as long as you dont go over 9.8mbs your dvd player should play it.I set the max at 8000kbs minimum at 1500kbs and average at 3000kbs, and I get about 35minutes on a disk, the average is what you should adjust to figure out file size...don"t change the YUY2 setting, this is the best setting for encodeing....
The maximum bitrate for SVCD depends on your DVD player.
The max setting for SVCD of 8000kb/s Minion is using is far to high for SVCD and could choke your player.
It is quite possible to encode to SVCD with this bitrate and it will play fine on your PC, but the your DVD player may have problems due to the physical limitations of the player.
The reason for this is because of the fact that the drive cannot spin the disk fast enough to read the information correctly.
DVD's are able to manage this because the spacing of the pits on a DVD is much tighter and therefore the data on the disk is passed under the laser at a faster rate.
With SVCD, because the pits are more widely spaced the disk has to spin at a faster rate for the pits to be read correctly by the laser.
The higher the bitrate you use the faster the disk will have to spin until it comes to a point where the drive reaches it's maximum speed and can't read the information fast enough off the disk and creates errors.
The reason why some drives aren't SVCD capable is simply because a 2x drive is required to spin the disk fast enough to read the data off the disk because of the higher bitrate.
If your DVD player doesn't have a 2x drive it won't be able to read the bitrate fast enough and will choke the player. So keep your max bitrate reasonable.
As for which colour space format to select, it all depends on the image quality you are tring to preserve RGB32 is a format which retains the all the colour information and detail in a file. YUY2 and YV12 are colour lossy formats which have some of the colour information left out. This is because the human eye is less susceptible to colour changes than luminance changes. This isn't really noticible to the human eye and is better for encoding as there is less information for the encoder to convert which will make it faster to encode.
I think TMPG can only use the RGB format as input and therefore has to convert any other format first to the RGB format before encoding and can't be changed which is probably one reason why it is slower than CCE as CCE can use the faster YUY format.
As far as the choice of which colour space format to use for MPEG, it is usually the YV12 format which is the best choice and a format a lot of sofware MPEG encoders use.
Having said this though, DVD's are encoded to the YUY2 format.
YUY2 should be the preferred choice for any other compression format and especially for capturing.
The main settings I use for SVCD are:
One pass
Constant quality(CQ)
Bitrate min - 1800 Max 4000
Quality slider - 65
Audio bitrate 160
Motion precision - Normal
This will encode a 90-100 min movie on to 2 disks with nice quality.
I don't bother with 2pass encoding as I have found that using Constant quality produces almost identical results as a 2 pass VBR.
If you wish I can send you the templates I use. I have sent these to many people now and haven't had any bad reports, so if you wanna try them and see what you think, I'll send them to you.
I was using v2.52, then upgraded to v2.53 and then I started having problems. I can't get the program to work. Whenever I try to load a mpg, or avi I get this error: C:DOCUME~1NOSLOCALS~1TempWER10.tmp.dir00appcompat.txt
AppName: tmpgenc.exe AppVer: 2.53.35.130 ModName: mplam6.dll
ModVer: 1.0.0.3 Offset: 00005ddb
Then the program shuts down. I get the samething with 2.54a. I'm running XP pro. I have reinstalled the OS and and all the updates too. I then reloaded the 2.54a again with no success. Anyone one have any ideas?
I think I might know what is wrong, the "mplam6.dll" file is in the wrong directory on your computer, it is supposed to be in your "system" folder,so what you should do is a "file search" or go right to the directory that the file is in, and copy the "mplam6.dll" into your system folder,then re-start your computer and then run "tmpgenc"...I think this will work, and if it doesn"t it won"t hurt, but post back and say if it worked.....good luck
The divx files I'm converting run fine on my computer. When I encode them and play them on my DVD player, they're all jumpy. Still playable, but it stutters a littbe bit every once in a while. The sound doesn't skip, if that changes anything. Also, sometimes I see wierd colored boxes on the screen. Any way to fix either of these problems?
That "jumpyness " is usually caused by encodeing to a different frame rate than the avi file,check your avi file and see if the frame rate is the same as the template you used while encodeing,many movies downloaded off the net have frame rates like 12.5fps, 14.9fps,20.0fps,and these dont corespond correctly to most encodeing formats, so you have to find the correct encodeing frame rate that would match your file, like if your file had a frame rate of "12.5" you would encode that to "25fps" and if your avi had a frame rate of "14.9fps" you would encode that to "29.97fps", but you will still get that jerky look once in a while even doing this, that is if your avi has a non standard frame rate....
I guess there is sound before you cut,Is it a file that was encoded with tmpgenc with mp2 audio?all I could sudgest is to use a different mpeg editor, the editor in tmpgenc is less than perfect and tmpgenc has problems with a lot of mpeg"s,you can do a search on the net for mpeg editors and find one pretty easily,.....
I don't know if this is the root of everyone's tmpgenc crashes (the common problem with mpeg files), when using windows xp, but I checked to see what was causing the problem and it was a .dll file called mplam6.dll which is part of a Ulead package I had installed.
The file was in C:Program FilesCommon FilesUlead SystemsMpeg on my xp machine and after I renamed it to mplam6.dll_ it no longer causes tempgenc to crach.
