Lately, I've been getting movies turn out distorted....with square-like shapes that distorting the picture. It's like the pixels aren't right in the picture. The movies I encode are high quality movies (DVD rip, DIVX, AVI), yet I keep getting crappy pictures. What can I do to try to resolve this problem?
Please e-mail me an answer ASAP.
Hey, whenever i try to convert off of my D drive it says can not open or unsporrted and i cant drag it into any of my computer folders because my comp. wont allow me to, what can i do?
The problem is odviously with your computer, have you tried Right clicking the file and go to "Copy" then "Paste" it on your desktop???Maybe you should get your computer looked at....
hi. i just download the program and when the program starts to encoding..takes at list 20 hours per movie..
can someone please tell me if it is always like this..or i can do something to make it works faster
Encodeing to mpeg is a very CPU intensive operation and it will suck up most of your resourses know matter how fast your computer is..But if it is takeing 20 hours you must have a slow computer like maybe a 500MHZ, on my 1.7GHZ VCD"s encode in Real time..So maybe it is time for an upgrade...
Tmpgenc will Probably Never support adding subtitles whithin the program it"s self....It Just isn"t the job of a mpeg encoder to add subtitles to a source file..You can rip the subtitles from the dvd then add them in Gordain Knot and frame serve them with Gordain Knot and Avisynth.or use Virtual Dub to frame serve the subtitles to tmpgenc........
It is more or less pointless adding selectable subtitles to MPEG files anyway. VCD doesn't support it and even when you can add subtitles with a program such as Iauthor to a SVCD. Most players will not recognize the subtitles anway.
The only option you really have if you want subtitles is to hard encode them into the MPEG file by framserving to TMPG with a program which supports them.
There are better programs for this than Tmpgenc but if you want to try with Tmpgenc you first need to have either the "Cyberlink" or "ligos" mpeg2 codecs installed on your system so tmpgenc can read the file..if you have one of these codecs installed then you just load in the mpeg2 file and the go to "file" to "output to" then "avi"....

well ther are a few there is Mpeg2AVI which is more for Vob files to avi but it works for mpeg files to, and you can use DVD2AVI 1.76 or later, it might make a seperate audio file but you can mux than with the video with aviMux, then there is Flask Mpeg, and there is one I just ran across that looks easy to use it is here:http://www.divx-digest.com/software/mpeg2avi_imedia.html , it is called I-Media mpeg2avi...and there are a dozen more programs for makeing avi/Divx files out of mpeg files..
I have a movie which is captured from TV, and I have a separate soundtrack which is in 5.1 surround (that is 6 separate channels in a Samplitude project). Is there any way I can encode this to a mpg (or other format) and keep the surround sound? I have tried to read about AC3, AAC, DTS... but I only get confused. Please, please help me out.
Surround sound is not supported in the "SVCD or VCD" specification, if the audio file you have is in "Dolby Digital AC3" you can multiplex the audio with the Mpeg video but it probably won"t play on your DVD player....
I am getting this on the startup page every time I start TMPGEnc now.
I did'nt know it was nessesary to buy a MPEG-2 encoder sepparately?
What do I do from here, I get a strange numbered error every time I try to convert AVI to MPG to make a CDV.
The error means exactly what it says, it means the the "Mpeg2 encodeing function has experied..It only works for 30 days after download, now if you want to keep useing tmpgenc for encodeing mpeg2 you have to buy the program..but you can still use the mpeg1 encodeing....
When I encode my movie at full quality (720x576) PAL, the preveiw screen has horizontal lines in it, but only when there is fast movement or motion in the movie, I tried low res option and doesnÃÕ do it, It wouldnÃÕ be so bad, but the end product turns out the same????, Any help would be much appreciated.
It sounds like you are getting "Interlace Lines" Which you really shouldn"t be getting with a Pal file,Are you sure that the Source file is a Progressive 25 FPS Pal File???Try useing the "Deinterlace filter" in the "advanced settings" and choose the filter that looks best...
Hi, Thanks very much for you help, still getting the lines, The thing I find strange is that if I encode the video with the low res option, I dont get the lines, but of course the overall quality is not all that, and when I aurther the dvd, my software transcodes the video as it's not a legall mpeg2 file eg, mpeg1- 352x288, dvd mpeg2 720x576.
Do you know why the lines only appear when there is is movement or the camera has been panned a bit too quickly ?
I also agree that it is strange you are getting interlace lines. Even though PAL movies are indeed interlaced they generally do not have interlacing problems. This sort of effect only appears on movies which have had a pulldown added.
You either have a source movie which is not oringinaly in the PAL 25fps format or you have a PAL movie which rarely has a 24:1 pulldown added.
If the former is true then it is easy to correct by either IVTC or de-interlacing.
If it is the latter then you will have problems with this movie. You can get rid of the interlace lines by de-interlacing, but your movie will have slight regular jerks.
In either case your movie is going to end up with jerky playback anyway because both of these scenarios will create the jerky effect.
Regarding the fact that the interlacing lines do not appear at low resolution. This is normal and is usually the case. Interlacing lines only become apparant at higher resolutions.
I am not able to encode in mpeg-2.Have tried many different encoders (Tmpgenc,bbmpeg,etc...)and always end up with black video. Can anyone help me please.
Some more information would be helpfull..Like what format is the source file??and what is the audio format of the source file ECT....you just might need to raise the "Direct show file reader"..go to "OPtions" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi plugins" and raise the "direct show" to "2"...
During an encode session from avi to mpeg-1 I get after 30% a few error messages. Does anyone know what it means?
Error 1: Write error occured at address 0048714A of module "TMPGEnc.exe' with 00225000
Error 2: Runtime error 216 at 0000215C
