hey quick question. first, LOVE tmpgenc, second, to make my life easier, is there a setting in the .mcf files to automatically set the video arrange setting to "full screen (keep aspect ratio)" every single time? right now, when encoding 16:9 movies to 4:3 SVCD's, i have to set the source to 16:9 NTSC and video arrange method to full screen (keep aspect ratio) every single time. i would love to be able to set up a new template that does this for my 16:9 movies by default so i don't have to worry about it. thanks!
Not that I know of.Even when you program it into the template it doesn"t work.Tmpgenc is supposed to set the "source" aspec ratio for you but it seems to go to "704 by 480 525 line ntsc" when your file is "16:9", but I did some experiments and if you leave it to "704 by 480 525 line ntsc" the finished mpeg doesn"t seem to be any different than if you set it to "16:9",I"m sure there is a differance but I can notice it....
Depending on what type of de-sync you have would warent a different method to fix it,if you have a simple case of the audio starting before or after the video causeing de-sync.with this type of de-sync you will have to download a multiplexer that allows you to off set the audio,There are a few that do this ,the multiplexor in "mpeg2vcr" or "m2-edit pro" will let you do this but i use the one in "bbmpeg" cuz it is free but it is a little bit more complicated than the others.so first you will have to de-multiplex your mpeg file then load it in to the multiplexor ,and the use the off set option to try to fix the de-sync..
Three of my videos dont have sounds as a result from encoding from .avi to .mpg. I believe the problem lies in the fact that the .avi files are streamed with an MP3 audio. I know that TMPGenc cannot encode MP3 audios (it says it in the FAQ page) so how would I extract the MP3 audio from this .avi so I can get it to work. Any help would be great!!
You need to download a program called "virtua dub" and with that you can extract the audio from your avi to wav format then "tmpgenc" will encode it to mp2...
I was just wondering if you can give me a little help on how I can make a demo on Quake III Arena and convert it into a AVI file so I can use with WMP, and also is there an easy way to add music??
I converted a .WMV file to .MPG, doing nothing more than opening it and converting it. The source file is about 2 megabytes but the resulting mpeg file is over 26 megabytes. I fiddled with it a bit, changing the bitrate, and it came out smaller but with reduced quality. How can I maintain quality and not increase the file size so much? I would appreciate any help.
I've noticed the same when encoding. Check the Source Range and see the set start frame and set end frame area. If it is 1 and -1 respectively then I have gotten that same error. To compensate for it I just set a new end frame area. Somewhere towards the end and the file came out just right (with a snippet off the end but..its negligible).

Why do you want the file to be so small?Mpeg is NOT a system for makeing your files smaller,in most cases it will make your file larger,WMV format is the most compressed format there is so there is NO WAY to make a WMV file the same size as the same mpeg file.WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO??
I'm sorry, I wanted a smaller file so that it wouldn't take up too much space on my website. It's on Geocities so I have limited space (and limited bandwith). It's simply my experience that more people can play mpegs than wmvs with the players they have, so that's why I'm changing it in the first place. I'm already going to zip it...so I guess 8 Megs is reasonable. It's better than 26 Megs, anyway :) I'm sorry, I didn't know mpegs were regularly so much larger. But I appreciate the help.

You can try some color filters but they probably won"t help enough to make the quality noticeably better,The bitrate is directly related to the quality of the mpeg,and if you are doing vcd"s or svcd"s more is better than less.But you can try a different encodeing method like "CQ" that will tend to lower your file size and keep a good quality....
I am a real newbie at video. I am using Windows 98SE with Premiere, exporting as AVI and after encoding an MPEG File with TMPGEnc it plays in Windows Media Player. I can play AVI files on Win DVD but the MPEG files are completely pink with normal sound. What am I doing wrong. I have checked that I dont have the angel codec installed.
I had that problem too(except the screen was black not pink). What I did was download the divx 3.11 alpha codecs and everything worked fine. I already had the Divx 5 pro bundle, but those older codecs are what did the trick. I had a similar problem when i got the version 4 codecs, to get things to work I had to get the older codecs. Can't guarantee it'll work, but give it a try.
When I attempted to use TMPGEnc to convert .asf to .mpg (VCD), TMPGEnc locked up after 2 seconds on two of my .asf files. It managed to work on a third file. For the two .asf files that it could not handle, I had to use an old version of virtualdub to convert from .asf to .avi (DivX) and then use TMPGEnc to convert from .avi (DivX) to .mpg (VCD).
So what I like to find out are: 1) Are there known problems with .asf to .mpg (VCD) conversion in TMPGEnc? 2) Are there tools that may be used to verify and/or repair .asf files?
I had the same problem, however, I found a way around it. It took me a while, and it's really the "LONG WAY" but it worked.
My problem was in the audio. I didn't have the old version of Virtual Dub, so I had to get around the conversion in a different way.
I pulled the video into Windows Movie maker, then made a WMV file from it. Then I used a program (With the WMA Codec included with it) called DBPowerAMP to convert the audio from the WMV file to a WAV file. From there, I used the video from the original file and the converted audio...and it finally worked.
Hi. I have been using tmpg for a few weeks now, and all was well. Now, all of a sudden, when I go to de-multiplex a MPEG1 file, and I double click the video portion, it starts demuxing, but does not complete the process. It usually quits sometime before the half-way point. Why would this start happening all of a sudden? I recently installed a program that also installed Windows Media Encoder on my system. Could that have caused a problem?? If so, how do I fix it??
I must add that the demux stops short with either the video or audio portion of the MPEG1 file....and that this problem happens with every file I've tried today.
So, there are no clues as to why this all of a sudden stopped working?? I like TMPGenc and want to continue using it. Anything I can try to install, uninstall, or reinstall?? I've already re-installed TMPGenc itself...but that didn't solve the problem....
Yes there is a small program called "mpeg2vcr" that edits muxes and demuxes there are a few versions of it on "kaaza" if you would have left your e-mail address I would have tried to e-mail it to you..The reason that the the mpeg tools are giveing you problems is cuz you get what you pay for and in this case it is free..
