I have been having problems with muxing in Impressions 2.21. Impressions has been giving my an unknown problem error about halfway through the muxing process.

I downloaded a trial version of ReelDVD 2.5 and tried loading the three Mpeg files that I want to use. All three have been encoded using Tmpeg. The last and longest (40 minutes) stops at about the time that the 'unknown problem error' comes up in Impressions.

ReelDVD says that in Group of Pictures #3692 the number of fields is 40 and that I need to have a GOP equal to or less than 36.

Does this mean that the max number of GOP should be set to 18 (since I'm NTSC) instead of the default 0?

Try it out.

I Tried it. Changing the Max to 18 instead of leaving it at 0 was the answer.

before i convert my .avi, i want it to be displayed as widescreen when i play it on my dvd player. whenever i convert then burn an .avi, and play it on my dvd player using 1:1 aspect ratio it stretches the movie from the top of my tv to the bottom, when it should only take up 3/4 of the screen or something. how do i leave my .avi as widescreen when i convert?..

Select 16:9 as the source aspect ratio and 4:3 as the output ratio and choose 'Full screen(keep aspect ratio)'as the video arrange method.

ASHY

how do i select the output ratio?

how do i select the output ratio?

Click the video tab and click the drop down menu where it says aspect ratio.

When trying to open a previously recorded avi-file with
Pinnacle Studio7 (dc10+-card), in Tmpeg 2.55/254 I get the error message:

Cannot open or not supported.

In several forums they had a possible solution by raising the
priority of the "Direct show multimedia file reader" to 2.
Unfortunately after changing this, nothing happened and I'm still not
able to read my Pinnacle-files.

Is there anyone with a possible solution for me? Please mail me!

Strange enough it isn't possible to read the studio 7 avi files.
Even more strange, here I do not have any problem.

Please read the following post,
http://www.tmpgenc.net/cgi-bin/ebbs/board.cgi?board=tmpgenc&page=1#topic9299

Try raising the priority of the Open DML and VFW file reader instead.

ASHY

When I select a video source, it gives me this error message:

File "***.avi" can not open, or unsupported.

Is this because I have to decompress the avi files? (they're divx)
If so, what decompressor do you recommend?

Thanks

TMPGenc>option>enviromental setting>VFAPI plugin
Right click the 'Direct show multimedia file reader' and raise it's priority to 2.

Hi, everybody!

After my test period of MPEG-2 function of TMPGEnc expired, I decided to purchase the TMPGEnc Plus. But first I got a trial version 2.55.38.142. And here we have: the TMPGEnc Plus does not work with AVISynth plug-in. The free TMPGEnc works fine; I start FlaskMPEG and select "Link to AVISynth" as output. Then I start TMPGEnc and select an AVS file... and so on. I go the same way with TMPGEnc Plus, but it hangs after selecting the AVS file. It shows the Hourglass cursor and does nothing. Only with Task Manager I can close it. Is this a problem with trial version only? As I said, the free version works fine but without MPEG-2. Could somebody help?

TIA. George

I had a similar problem a while back with TMPG.
I installed this file http://math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/avisynth/tmpgenc-readavs.zip and everthing was fine after that, just follow the instructions in the readme.txt file.

ASHY

OK. It works a half, the TMPGEnc can open AVS-file without stopping. But if I start the conversion, I get a message "IPC Source: Audio misalignement" and the Source does not run, while TMPGEnc is running with black screen (with this message, of course). Any more hints?

Thanks!

Does the AVS file play with media player? If not there is a problem with either the Avisynth script or FlaskMPEG.

ASHY

The Media Player says "File not found..." if I point to my AVS-file. I think, it can be a problem with the last tool, you wrote about. Since I've installed this tool the TMPGEnc Plus does not hang, but the free TMPGEnc shows the same error ("IPC Source: Audio misalignement...") and it worked fine before.

I think I finally found the reason! If I try to decode a NTSC DVD file with 29,97fps and 48000 Hz audio and put this through AVISynth as AVI with 29,97fps and 48000 Hz audio I get the problem. If I make the FlaskMPEG converting the video to 25fps and 41500Hz audio the TMPGEnc works fine.
Anyway, I have tested DVD2AVI with the same DVD file and got no audio from TMPGEnc. It seems, TMPGEnc cannot work with NTSC video format (;-) (of course, it can!).

could anyone tell me how after splitting a film in half the second disc has the video and audio slightly out of sinc with each other,and of course how to stop this happening,thanks in advance martin.

The reason why is cuz the mpeg tools suck, and to solve this you need to use a different mpeg editor, you can try "m2-edit pro" or "mpeg2vcr" there seems to be a constant problem of one sort or another with mpeg tools.....

Hi,

I have trouble using TmpGenc to convert a MPEG2 into SVCD

The problem is that the MPEG has different recordings - and between each recording there is about 1 second of noise (seems that my video-camera is putting this noise between different recordings)

TmpgEnc is losing the sound after each recording - this 1 second of noise (gap, transition) seems to confuse TmgpEnc.
Sometimes TmpgEnc is not only losing audio - but crashing while converting.

Does anybody know how I can deal with that 1 sec noise between recordings ?
Is there a way to remove "transitions" ?

thx

heinz

Try using the 'Cut editing' function in the source range filter to cut out your noise gaps.

ASHY

OK, this may work.
However, if u have many transition it will be painful to find each.

Isn't there a way to make Tmpgenc to skip gaps automatically - or at least to indentify them ?

thx
heinz

use the correct feature to eliminate the noise

>use the correct feature to eliminate the noise

Hi,
where can I find this feature ?
I've already switched on noise reduction (HQ-Quality), even tried Ghost etc.
Nothing helped so far

thx

If you are loading the MPEG2 file directly into TMPG then why don't you try using DVD2AVI and create a d2v file from your MPEG2 and load that into TMPG instead.

ASHY

I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have a .avi divx file that has "Morgan Stream Switcher" compression.
It can be played fine in 3 diffrent players but when I convert it to anything with TMPGEnc Plus, the video looks great but there is no audio.
Why can't TMPGEnc Plus convert the audio with the video?
Do I have to extract the audio with a diffrent program and then merge it with the processed video? I hope there is an easier way.
Please help if you can.

Thanx Robb

extract the audio with virtual dub in wav form the when u start the tmpg wizard insert the video and the extracted wav file and off u go.....all it is ...is that tmpg doesnt support certain forms of audio

thanks

Can anyone please help with error message "Index of scan line is out of range 281" I spent 3 months downloading this movie and 4mins 27 secs into changing it from an 'avi' to an mpeg with TMPGEnc 2.55 I get this message and it stops encoding. Please if anyone can help, tell me in easy to understand lingo.

This could mean that there is some corruption in your avi file, possibly bad frames, there is nothing you can do about it accept you can start encodeing again at the point right after it crashed then you can join the files together after encodeing,you can do this by going to the "source range" setting and set it to start encodeing a few frames after it crashed then after it is done load the files in the merge and cut and merge them together.These are common problems with movies downloaded off the net cuz information gets lost or corrupted while encodeing especially in your case when it takes so long to download one movie.....

>I go the same p3package.dll error on mine. I did what menion said and it work (slow), but worked. I then stopped that and put the .dll file in system and system32 folders and it worked like a charm. I don't know what is wrong with your application, but I haven't seen anywhere that you uninstalled and reinstalled the application. (first rule of troubleshooting).

>It is simple enough that this may be a "PEBCAK" error. (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard)

And to address all of the "put p3package.dll in the search field" that only brings up all of these complaints. Someone needs to place the .dll file on here so that it can be copied and give a valid solution to this. There is no real solution that I see. Us users have to sort through the complaining and ignorance in order to find a solution.

I am converting an AVI to SVCD with TMPgenc and when it finishes there is no video, just audio. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

MoVieBoY

This can be caused by a few thing"s but first a little tip, if there is no video in the encodeing screen while encodeing then there is no video in your mpeg file,but first you should post the procedure and settings you used to encode your file and you should post the specs of your avi file like frame rate resolution and codec with out this information we can only guess at what might be wrong.first you need to have the proper codecs installed on your machine to decode your file, you should make sure that your "direct show" plugin is set to a high enuff priority, to do this go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi plugins" and raise the "direct show" plugin to "2" by right clicking it.Another reason could be that your avi file is encoded with a codec that is not supported in tmpgenc like some dv codecs...you can try these things to see if they work and if they don"t post the correct information so we don"t have to play a guessing game.......good luck....

OK, I get a "Read Error Occured at Address 00477747 of module 'TMPGEnc.exe' with 043E71AE" error when encoding MPEG2 video from AVI.

I've tried to figure this one out on my own but haven't been able to. Any help would be appreciated.

i want to raise the resulution but it is locked away, i have tryed loaded the unlock template but its says illegal streaming

You might be getting the error cuz you can only use resolutions in mpeg that are divisible by 8 and if you try to use a illegal resolution you will get an error........
