I've ripped the Swordfish DVD using "DVD Decrypter". Then used "DVD2AVI" to create a .d2v file and audio file. For some reason every time I encode the first half of the movie to an MPEG the audio is like 10 seconds before the video. Other movies I've encoded with no problems. Why is it doing this?
This sounds like in the original DVD the sound had a delay given to it that you did not notice when you got the outputs from DVD2AVI. What I would suggest is to take the AVI and put it into VirtualDub and then take the Wav which, if you got an AC3 from DVD2AVI you can get from BSWEET, and add that wav to the VirutalDub also. Then play with the Delay factor until everything comes out correctly. Save it and redo it into Tmpgenc.
If there is a "Audio Delay" it will have the delay value in the name of the audio file..You should only get a Delay if you are ripping the audio to the wrong format, you have to rip it to "WAV" format with the "Dolby Surround downmix"..And if after all this there still seems to be a delay then there is an easy fix you just de-mux the Mpeg file and re-Mux it with "Mpeg2VCR" it has a feature in it"s multiplexor than will allow you to adjust for audio delay when joining the audio and video streams...
I was wondering if someone could give me a little help with this problem.
I have a VOB file that was converted to AVI and the audio extracted as a WAV file. I am using TMPG encoder to convert them back to a MPEG2 so I can burn it as a DVD. I edited the AVI file and need to make the WAV file match the AVI file. Is there any way to preview the file in TMPG encoder before you actually encode it? ANY help is very appreciated and thanks so much for your time.

I used DVDTOAVI to convert the VOB file to a AVI file and it seperates the Audio from the video. I looked but did not find a option to keep them together when converting them. Is there another program that is better out there?
thanks so much for the info
Matt
i'm no expert on dvd...maybe others can help...all i can sugest is to use dvd2avi to demux the vob file and then encode to mpg using tmpgenc rather than avi and do the editing on the mpg...if thats posible...what kind of editing are u doing? just cuting? or filters? or..
The way you use DVD2AVI to make a Mpeg1/2 file is NOT to make an avi file..What you do is go to "Save Project" and save a D2V project file and a Wav audio file then you load the D2V file into tmpgenc as the Video and the wav as the audio then encode to mpeg1/2....Doing it this way is a lot easier than makeing an AVI file and faster and the quality is much better...
I installed the last version of TEMPGEnc. and tried to encode two different movies to burn without succes for either of them for the same reason.
When i start the process the program estimate it will take about 14 hours for a 1h25 movie
But that's not the problem, after 4 hours and a half the preview and source position show it reached the end of the movie but only +/- 30% of the process seems to be done if you believe the progression bar.
i then have a error message saying:
Read error occured at adress 00401CB8 of module 'TEMPGEnc.exe' with FFFFFFFF
The resulting file seems to be the correct size but is not working.
I'm using downloaded templates but they worked before with the previous version of the program.
>If it is an DivX-Movie, you should use VirtualDub as a Frameserver.
Thank you for taking time to answer.
I tried this and apparently it's a conspiration!
TMPGEnc now refuse to open the .vdr file saying the format is not supported.
i'm new at working with these can you tell? ;)
To frameserve from Virtualdub you need to install the Virtualdub frame serving client first.
Look in the Virtualdub help file for info how to do this or go to VCDhelp.com.
Before that though try raising your Directshow multimedia file reader to 2 under the VFAPI plugins tab in TMPG, Option>enviromental setting.
Well that should get your file into DVDit, all you need is to have the "interval of sequence header" set to "1" and have a closed GOP, have you tried DE-Multiplexing the mpeg file and loading the audio and video seperately??For some reason doing that seems to stop than error...
I am capturing my video from a digital camera onto my 80gig baracuda IDE Harddrive, when I try and encode it using TMPG, I get Horizontal lines in the film, but only when there is fast movement of people or the camera.
Does anyone know the data rate needed to capture video onto the hard drive and encode to DVD.
What you see is interlaced Video. This has nothing to do with your Harddisc. It's the way, Camcorders are working.
You have two choices: Leave it interlaced, but that needs high Bitrates.
Deinterlace it, but then you will loose sharpness and smooth Moving.
Your best bet is to use the "De-interlace filter" in the "Advanced Settings" and choose the filter that get"s rid of the lines best with the least amount of blurring, and be sure to have the field order set correctly, because this will dive you a sort of jumpy look in high motion scenes..If you use the "Wizard" to load the file in then it will analize the file and set the field order correctly...
If he want's to encode for DVD, it is NOT the best choice to deinterlace.
Hey, we are talking about DVD! On DVD, you have enought space to use high Bitrates for a very clear and sharp interlaced Video.
funny funny
no i went through virtualdub and clicked on the movie i am trying to format so i can play on my dvd.......next step tmpg when i click on the movie to place in tmpg that is when the illegal stream format error appers now any suggestions?
i have a avi file of which ive extracted the audio wav and inserted into tmpg.i have retarded and advanced the audio until i have the audio in sync.i encode a test piece with the audio in sync (say -1500ms) and all is ok.when i encode it again with the audio retarded to -1500ms as before it is out of sync ????????.
i have had this with a few avi,s lately so im wondering if anyone has any ideas.
the top an bottom of the problem is...no matter how much i sync the audio up with the video file ...it changes next time i encode??
Cheers ..my heads done in an i cant think anymore...ouch
I want encode video files in Windows Midia Video (WMV) to MPEG-1 (Video-CD)format by TMPGEnc v.2.58.144.152. When I start encoding process, file in WMV format encode to MPEG-1 format normally, but via some time encoding process stopped and show report: "OUT OF MEMORY". This going on ~ 4-7% from beginning encoding process. My computer have 256 Mb RAM, 7 Gb free HDD space. MPEG-1 file, which got before stop encoding process, playing normally. Why encoding process stopped? Help me, please!
also....convert the audio with dbpower amp to wav and add the wav to tmpgenc.Make sure u download the wma codec from that site also.http://www.dbpoweramp.com/. Just right click the wmv file and choose 'convert to'to get the wav

when i download a movie ie: avi and play it it looks great. when i use tmpgen and convert from avi to mpeg i get purplish splotches here and there..it starts out normal then get splotches, then normal and so on. I checked for angelpotion and I don't have it, I have divx and nimo codecs. What else can I do to get rid of the purple splotches while converting? thanks a lot!
The angel potion used to Come with the "Nimo" codec pack, so maybe check again...There is no other codec that I know of that can cause this effect besides Angel potion, unless you have other Hacked Codecs on your system..
hi all, i can create VCDs from DVD no problem at all but i also have a number of Divx avi's i have downloaded that nero will convert to mpeg for me but they are too big to fit on one disk.
i have tried using TMPGEnc 2.57 to cut and convert these Divx avi's and everything seems to work fine except i have sound but no movie ?
that is, when i play the said mpeg back in say media player there is only sound and nothing else???
any ideas how i can convert one 700Mb Divx avi in to an mpeg and then split it so it would fit on say 2 CDRs so i can make a VCD?
You probably just need to raise the "DirectShow File reader" in the "Vfapi Plugins" ..go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "direct show file reader" to "2"..You know the movie is encodeing if the picture is displayed in the Tmpgenc window while encodeing...
I have A 940MB muxed mpeg2 file I need to cut this in half, so I can Burn onto 2 cds. I use the cut/join feature in tmpge. I start the cut at 00:00:00 and try to cut at 54:36:00 and no matter what tmpge program freezes up. I am using amd athlon 2000+ processor with 256mb memory and windows XP for my OS.
any help appreciated...

This is a common problem with the "Mpeg Tools" and there is no Fix for it, you have to use something else to edit your mpeg files..go here :http://apachez.net/ and go to the tools section and try out some of the mpeg editors there..
I am converting an AVI file to MPEG-1. I have set the converstion to VBR and the estimated file size is 4.8M I instead wind up with a 14M file. I've tried other settings and always get the same file size.
You can"t accurately predict the file size with a VBR encode unless you are useing 2-Pass VBR,if it says the file is going to be 4.8mb then is the AVI about 25 seconds long?? or is it closer to 90 seconds?Have you set the "System" setting to "Video-CD Non-standard?? set it to this if you are makeing a VCD and set it to Mpeg1-VBR if you are just makeing a Mpeg1 file...
