I followed the avi to mpeg step by step but I cant get the audio our vidoe pull It keep saying unsupported. I also made the changes to vfapi plugin still can't open avi file when I try to open the they aren't there but if I go to them under the driv e they are there PLEASE HELP!!!!

Are you saying when you click the browse button to choose your avi file the file isn"t there but it is there if you go to it?If this is true then for some reasom your avi files aren"t being read as avi files cuz when you choose your file after clicking the "browse" button all supported file types should be displayed, maybe this is happening because you don"t have the right codecs installed on your system to decode the file, but if you didn"t have the right codecs then you shouldn"t be able to view your file, so I have no idea why you are haveing proglems but try going to "vcdhelp.com" and see if you can find a solution there....

I ripped my DVD using smartripper, and saved the project in dvd2avi, but when I try to frameserv and open it in tmpgenc, tmpgenc just completely freezes and I have to press ctrl,alt,del before I can do anything else on the computer. What am I doing wrong?

Did you make sure you have the "dvd2avi.vfp" plugin in the vfapi plugins? and the priority of that plugin has to be high enough at least "1", pluss don"t moove or rename any of the vob or d2v files in the path between dvd2avi and tmpgenc....

what causes this message and how do I fix it?

I just purchased the TMPG program and am trying to convert my avi files to VCD in order to burn and play on my DVD player. The problem I am running into is when I try to convert the video file I get the error "cannot open or unsupported". I have no problem playing these files using a DIVX program but how do I convert them? Please help.

Thanks,

Pam

Well Ashy,I'm sorry but I have searched all over the page and although I see where a lot of people have the same problem,I can't find where you have answered the question in any detail. For example what plugins do we need and more important where do you find these plugings. Also what steps do we go about to fix the problem. Not all of us have the computer skills that you do and sometimes we need step by step help. Just telling us to look on the page is not the answer. If you can't help please advise.

If you were to type unsupported in the search box at the top of this page the answer would have presented itself many times.

I have answered this question myself soooooo many times it just gets tedious when the answer is so readily available just by looking in the right place.

Anyway seeing as you are in need the usual way to correct the problem is to start TMPG and go to Options>enviromental setting>VFAPI plugin and right click the 'Directshow mutimedia file reader' and raise it's priority to 2 and the rest to 0.

ASHY

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone have probs with tpmg when cut/join video files? My prob is when i join/cut mpgs i lose sound in the middle of the mpg file, anyone know why?

Does this happen with all or just certain files. If it's just certain files it is probably a dodgy MPEG file.
Just re-encode the audio and multiplex it with the video and then try cutting again.

ASHY

It happens everytime i use tmpg

I would completely delete TMPG from your system and download another version and see what happens. This sometimes fixes weird problems with TMPG.

ASHY

I also tried that b4 but i still get same probs.

I used EO video to convert real media files into .avi files, then I tried to convert them to .mpg using TMPGEnc. The problem is, there is no video when it's converting, only sound. Why is it that this happens? It's probably not TMPGEnc's problem, but I've posted around and nobody has been able to help me, so if anybody could, I'd really appreciate it.

You can't have looked to hard. If you have a look around on this board you'll find the answer about a 100 times. You won't have to look for your answer to hard as it is probaly on every page of this board.

Is there any way to encode an MPEG-2 transport stream with TMPEnc Plus. I am trying to encode some video content for our VOD system.

Thanks

Yes, but I think you have to re-packetize it into a program stream, "mpeg2vcr" has an option to do this....

No I don't think TMPG is able to produce transport streams, but as Minion says you could use MPEG2VCR to convert the program stream to a transport stream using it's stream converter or you could just use MPEG2VCR to multiplex to a transport stream.
There are also various other softwares able to do this, another is MPEGcarver.

There are two versions of MPEG2VCR. the downloadable version only handles mpeg1's. The $600 version handles mpeg2's. It will most certainly convert between program and transpiort streams though.

And If I use the MERGE-CUT option, the program use this file type without problem. (X-files?)

You need to install an MPEG2 codec.

How can I purchase the TMPGENC Plus version? I do not have credit cards, that are supported at pegasys-inc... I am from austria and I couldn't find any distributor that sales the software...
Is there any other way to purchase it??
Please help me, I want to use the software for private issues only!!!

Thanks for your answers!

I do not think TMPGEnc Plus retail package or something tangible is available (except online version).

You should visit:

Ever since I put 2.56 on, I have having problems converting avi's and mpgs.

1) On most mpegs, the # of frames is a very big number and the estimated time to convert is a very big number; OR
2) No video at all; OR
3) When converting uncompressed AVI's, after about 35% or so, it all goes black.

I have same result as orion940. I am trying to re-encode MPEG-2 in format for VCD on 1 minute source clip. Frames to go is 600000000, and hours to go is 6000, approximately. 2.51 version performed this fine! Still trying to solve for why-

Eh, are you able to change the settings when compressing video in Tmpg Enc
They are blocked from being changed

To unlock the settings you have to load the "unlock.mcf" template in the "Extra" folder,when you load the template all your settings will become unlocked so before encodeing make sure everything is the way you want it cuz the settings have a habbit of changeing after you load the template....

I have problem as follows:

I've followed up the same as instructions of Webpage
"Using AVISYnth as a frame server between Premiere and
TMPGEnc"

the process I do OK until I click "Start", immediately
the screen becomes just black color....whereas the
status bar of WHOLE works and source position still
00:00:00 (unchangeable number).

The first time I tried with a short of video (only
10mins)but everthing OK....

This time I do 2 hrs video for DVD dics...and failure.
I do sth wrong with this ?(although I recheck and redo
many times carefully but no result and have more look
on net for guide).

Please help me or show me what to do next.

Thank you very much in advance.
