Question - How to open mpeg-2/svcd? No.22721
aeroshock  2002-06-05 00:07:09 ( ID:rvfhv70m8or )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hey I was wondering how to open an mpeg2 file / svcd in tmpgenc? When I try to it says the file cant open or is unsupported. Thanks for any help.


Minion  2002-06-05 02:47:56 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You need the "mpeg2 plugin" then you still might have to de-multiplex your svcd file and load the streams seperately.......

Replicants  2002-06-04 23:14:53 ( ID:dr3tqicy5jw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is there a way to automate (or even script) tmpgenc to work with virtuadub etc?

I was thinking I would be nice to pass a file(s) to it via a 'shell' program or script (and with virtauldub) and have the results output to disk in one go.

Would make the program much more useful!


Minion  2002-06-05 02:42:27 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You can It is called "frame serveing" .......


ASHY  2002-06-05 23:02:09 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPG has had the ability to work with Virtualdub frameserver files for as long as I can remember.
Really, you should use a thing called the internet and do a little research before making requests for something which is already there.
As for scripting, ever heard of AVIsynth.

Question - Frame editing No.22716
jonahinthewhale  2002-06-04 21:03:46 ( ID:7so6hrdzfda )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to edit indivdual frames in an mpeg. I don't mean just cut it out but to like at censor blurs or lettering in the frame. If this is not possible then is it possible to edit out the video completly and just leave the audio. I tried murgiong an mpeg without video and just audio to some with video and audio but it told me that it was not possible. So in short, can I make a black screen with sound? - Jonah


ASHY  2002-06-04 21:25:53 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You could cut the part out you want to alter then re-encode it with TMPG to a series of bitmaps then edit the bitmaps as you wish and then re-encode them back to an MPEG and rejoin it with the movie.

If you want to encode a blank screen with just sound then just load up your MPEG into TMPG then clear the Video field and set the option to 'System (Video+Audio)' and TMPG will encode the movie with sound and a blank screen.

ashton  2002-06-04 20:54:17 ( ID:8n1tnloxod2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

i downloaded two programs for avi2mpeg, this one and a "avi 2 vcd mpeg-1 encoder". The vcd encoder gives me sound and picture (after i have already decompressed the sound of course) but it takes....well it's going on 15 hours for half a movie! this program however only takes me about 6 to 7 hours, but iget sound and no picture. i went in and looked at the avi2vcd encoder and tried figure out what kind of numbers i was getting on that program and maybe i could set the tmpg to the same settings but was unsuccessful. please help me.


ASHY  2002-06-04 21:02:05 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Goto Option>Enviromental setting click the 'VFAPI plugin' tab then right click on the 'Directshow multimedia file reader' and raise it's priority to 2 and put the rest at 0.

Question - CDR / CDRW's No.22711
Tom  2002-06-04 20:32:42 ( ID:hvrhufqjkmc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What are the best CDR / CDRW's (on the local market) to use when burning VCD's?


ASHY  2002-06-04 20:44:29 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

This is a difficult one to answer because it all depends on your burner and player. Some burners work better with certain disks than others.

I have tried many disks and have had good ones and crap ones. Usually the best disks are the Taio Yuden manufactured disks,Phillps,TDK,Kodak,Sony.

The disks I'm using at the moment are the best I've used so far. Which has really suprised me because they are actually made by Ritek and are the DATASAFE brand or the WHITELABEL brand. These disks are excellant on my player for VCD.

I used to have a problem with some cheaper disks causing jerky playback and I could never burn a disk higher than 4x or it would jerk like hell.
With these disks there is never a jerk, a stutter a pop or anything, they play perferct 99.9% of the time even the more expensive disks didn't achieve this and these diska are quite cheap to buy.

Ritek used to have a bad name for CDR's but I have done some research into these disks and they have apparantly improved the quality now as they are aiming at the professional sector with these disks.

I certainly approve of these disks so maybe they would work for you.

Question - SVCD or XVCD No.22703
Gerrit  2002-06-04 20:08:25 ( ID:06ax9hyh2o2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I used tmpgenc 2.53 to encode an AVI-movie captured from a camcorder. Although the result on TV is reasonable I expected a better result compared to the original DV. Especially in the moving scenes I see a lot of pixels/snow. I used the standard SVCD-template (PAL). Is this normal or are there any better SVCD-templates or perhaps XVCD-templates available? Can someone help me by providing such templates resulting in higher quality or give me some hints.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Ashy,

Thanks again for sending the templates. I have used the SVCD(PAL) but now my TV shows a jerky movie. I think, this has to do with the DVD-player (Grundig 5100). What to do now, should I lower the maximum bitrate?

kind regards
Gerrit


ASHY  2002-06-04 22:25:19 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is this your player - Grundig Xenaro GDP 5100?

I have done some checking and there are mixed opinions of what it can handle. Some say it can handle bitrates up to 4000 kb/s others say only up to 2600 kb/s.

As a test set the max bitrate to 2600 kb/s and see what happens and most importantly make sure you burn your MPEG at no higher than 4x as this can and does cause the movie to jerk.

ASHY



ASHY  2002-06-04 22:27:10 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

By the way are you using CDRW or CDR for your MPEGs. If you are using CDRW then try it with a CDR. CDRW always play back jerky on my player, but the same movie plays fine on CDR.

ASHY


Gerrit  2002-06-04 23:27:17 ( ID:06ax9hyh2o2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for your response,

I tried it on a CDR instead of a CDRW but it still resulted in a jerky movie (4000 kb/s). Decreasing the max. bitrate to 2600 does work, but the result is the same as the standard SVCD-template of tmpgenc: when the camcorder is moving and following a subject the background of the movie is full of pixels. Is it possible to improve this?

kind regards
Gerrit


ASHY  2002-06-05 13:10:48 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm afraid it's down to what your player is able to handle as the blocks are just an effect that using lower bitrates than the particular scene requires causes.
There isn't really much you can do about it, all you can really do is do some tests to find out how much bitrate you can use before your player starts to choke.
If you are more concerned about image quality than audio quality then you could sacrifice some of the audio bitrate so you could up the video bitrate slightly. If you reduce the audio bitrate to 128 kb/s you can up the video bitrate and extra 96 kb/s, not much I know, but it will help and remember the total bitrate your player can handle is the audio bitrate plus the video bitrate.

Setting the motion search precision to 'high' will give slightly better quality, but don't bother with 'highest' as it doesn't make a difference and doubles the time of the encode.
Also make sure you have 'soften block noise' checked in the quantize matrix tab.

Question - Audio High Beep/Chirp after Merging Files. No.22699
southk  2002-06-04 19:41:11 ( ID:oknwckhrgol )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Whenever I try to merge mpeg files together with the "merge/cut" tool of Tmpgenc I get a high pitch beep/chirp at each join point. I even try using the "correct" option and still I get the audio noise. I use VirtualDUB to capture the segmented files so there is really no way for me to merge at a differnt point. I can seperate the video from the audio and then edit them back together but that is too much work.

When will they fix this problem in Tmpgenc and make this problem go away and make the "correct" option automatic?

Thanks in advance.


ASHY  2002-06-04 20:24:06 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Your main problem is that MPEGs are not meant to be edited and is not a fault of TMPG.
You shouldn't be joining them anyway. What you should be doing is using the option in Virtualdub to join the segmented AVI's together and then frameserve them to TMPG. This is much simpler than the way you are doing things and will prevent the beep you are having problems with.

ASHY


southk  2002-06-04 21:32:44 ( ID:hkp83pzocva )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have a 4gig limit in windows98 so how am I suppost to merge my files after that? Or better yet explain this frameserve to me.

Thanks.


ASHY  2002-06-04 21:38:58 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You don't merge them. If you have captured them with Virtualdub to segmented AVI's then Virtual dub will automatically open all the segments as if was one one file. You would then start the frameserver by clicking File>start framserver and then you will be asked to name an output for the frameserver file. Name it and give it an AVI extension then open that file with TMPG and encode.

If you need more info on setting up the frameserver go to http://www.vcdhelp.com it will tell you everthing you need to know.

is it possible to have TMPGENC split a file up into 700MB size mpeg files when it encodes so I can burn it out to cd?

mkerr  2002-06-04 21:09:28 ( ID:d/cl2at4usc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

thx. I actually found that after i wrote the post. I was curious if there was a way to do it when you first encode it so you dont have to do it after.


ASHY  2002-06-04 21:43:52 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yes, you would use the 'source range' filter and set the start and end points at a point in the movie where you wish to split it.

Question - No sound encoding DivX file No.22693
George  2002-06-04 19:30:58 ( ID:mpolrml5t46 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Can anybody help? I've got an DivX (5.0.2 Codec) 23fps, 125kBit/s 24Bit, file with MPEG Layer-3 - sound (126kBit/s). I can play this file with Windows Media Player and diverse DivX players. But if I try to encode it in TMPGEnc using a SVCD or VCD template I get no sound in the output file. This is already the second DivX file I cannot encode to MPEG with sound. Please help!
By the way, do anybody know, what a file format a *.ogm file is?


ASHY  2002-06-04 20:29:38 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Extract the audio to wav with something like Virtualdub and use that as the audio source.

Hi,

will TMPGEnc be available in another Shareware Onlineshop like Shareit.com or Regnow.com?


I do not have a credit card.
I can easily buy Shareware at Shareit.com via money order/transfer (I do not know the right word here).

Thanks for the great encoder anyway :-)

Could be something to do with an audio codec you need or need to reinstall on your PC.
The ACM message refers to the windows Audio Compression Manager which is used to decode or encode audio using the audio codecs you have installed on your system.
Find out what the audio is in the movie file and install the appropiate codec or extract the audio to a wav file with a program such as Virtualdub and use that as your audio source.

Why dont you encode the last 10% of your movie then join the two parts in the "mpeg tools"?
