Raise the prioriy of the......blah.. blah...fed up with answering this one now...just do a search for 'Priority' on this BBS and you'll find the answer.

I realize this one gets answered all the time but maybe this guy is new and what makes answering this question any different than before simply its becuase your tired dont take it out on the newbies. If you dont have any thing nice to say keep it to your self. Or you could just state to do a search for priority with out the attitude. You have to remember because this seems obvious to you doesnt mean its not for them.


minion  2002-10-03 12:30:01 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It has nothing to do with being a Newbie or not,It has to do with not looking for an answer to the question before you post the question..Every question to every problem with Tmpgenc is here is these Pages and everyone can easily find most of the answers to there questions if they just took a couple of minutes and read through a few posts .Or even useing the search function at the top of this page which is The first thing I see when I enter this Forum..Just asking for a little effort that is all...The Great One Helps those who help themselves..And I don"t mean Wayne Gretzky.......


ASHY  2002-10-03 20:55:34 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks Minion, glad ur always there mate to back me up when the clever dicks arrive.

Listen here Mr Ok Now, whoever you are. It's an easy thing to use the search function at the top of this page and is no big deal.
I may be fed up with answering that same question, but at least I didn't ignore it completely which I could have done. Instead I did direct the guy as to where he could find the answer and he probably did find his answer and more besides too.

So keep your smart comments to yourself until you have actually made some kind of constructive contribution to this BBS like I have in the past for the long time I have stuck around and helped out on it.

NewtronX  2002-10-04 01:38:49 ( ID:0ysy.lkdema )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hmm Interesting you seem to have taken this all the wrong way.
I always have positive thing to say about you and often credit you with being a real good advisor hear. It is I who am the "OK Now" and I think referring to some one, as the Dick is kind of harsh. When all I was trying to say is you seem to be a little harsh on the Poster "Abel" maybe he isnÃÕ as quick as you to figure out to search past post before asking questions. I mean I know my self I have learned a lot since I have been here and you guys seem to have been very helpful in the past and professional. I am glade you agree you might be fed up with answering that same questions. You know I go through the same thing at my job and some times have to remember the people I deal with donÃÕ know half the time and the other half well they should know better...lol Any way to make a long story short I am neither criticizing you Ashy or Minion in any way all I am saying is lets be Professional here. And their is no sense in your saying "So keep your smart comments to yourself until you have actually made some kind of constructive contribution to this BBS like I have in the past for the long time I have stuck around and helped out on it." I am neither trying to be smart (Just respectful of others) or am I Refuting your giving to this BBS you contribute immensely here..:o)

i agree with "newtronX" if u dont have nothing nice to say then dont answer! geesh... instead of making that kind of comment to "Abel". for me i rather not get any answer than getting that comment from ASHY. i know its not that hard to search for your question but like NewtronX said maybe this person is a newbie. u know wut newbie are right? they prolly didnt even know how to use BBS. they just saw someone ask so they ask too... or you ca just comment "try searching it with da subject 'priority'"

you guys think ur effin good than everybody...


NewtronX  2002-10-04 10:48:01 ( ID:0ysy.lkdema )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I dont think Ashy thinks he is better than every one myself he has always been on the whole very nice and helpful. However I do believe from time to time we all get caught up in life and forget to breath. Also I know exactly what Ashy and Minion are saying about people not helping them selfs seems their is a lot of that these days however their is no need to be un-professional and we should all be considerate of each other. Well I think this post is getting out of hand so I will ask we just drop this..Thank you Ashy & Minion I have a great deal of respect for you encoding advice its been a great help to me and I am sure many others please keep up the good work ~NewtronX


ASHY  2002-10-04 12:58:10 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Ok fine whatever I'm not bothering getting into a debate about this.
When I first posted that message the answer to the question had already been posted in a message posted on the same page then I went to the next page and the answer was there also and is probably on every page of this BBS.

Being a newbie does NOT excuse lazyness and I'm not accusing this person or anyone else of being lazy, but the search funtion is cleary visible is not hard to find and a quick read through the other posts is no big deal either.

It is a fact of life that people would rather let others do the work for them rather than make the effort themselves.

If I think someone has not made the effort to help themselves as it seemed to me in this case then Iam not bound by any law to help them myself.

Having said this I did give the poster the benefit of the doubt and did direct his question as to where he would find his answer.
So for anymore have a go heros and moral defenders all I can say is your comments don't count until you have actually proved you have made substantial contribution to this BBS and spent many hours trying to help others out as I do and know for a fact Minion does.

It wasn't with an 'attitude' that I posted the reply but more a vent of frustration at the common disregard for using the search engine.
It is there and should be used and a little ticking off won't hurt anybody and wasn't done in a nasty offensive way, but the post may be read by others and a lesson may be learned.
Unlike myself who finds it offensive that newbies EXPECT that they deserve the regulars advice and respect without making the effort for themselves.

On an end note I will say that most newbies are polite and are indeed in need of a little help and have no problem with helping those people out even if the questions are repeated. You can tell by a persons post whether they have actually made an effort to find the answer and as far as search engines go I've heard the excuse that it wasn't seen or they didn't know how to use it far too many times.
Search engines have been used on the net for god knows how long and are everywhere. If you don't know how to use a search engine than you shouldn't be on the net.

Apologies to anyone who happened to be offended as this wasn't my intention.

Question - Quantize Matrix No.28878
Foxbat  2002-10-02 11:42:28 ( ID:lctjdxsp7aa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I've got a question on the settings of the "quantize matrix" in TMPGEenc:
can anyone explain me, what it's all about? There are so many "explanations" on the web but it seems to me that no one really knows what to do. Is there any analytic way to set the matrix (not only a pseudo-empiric proceeding).
By the way: I search for an optimal matrix to get DV and (S)VHS material on DVD.

Thanks to anyone who can help me!!!

Bernd


B_racer  2002-10-02 14:52:52 ( ID:gxmkoa4dlnj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If you want to know what a Matrix realy does, you have to learn a lot about the DCT and how they work. You must know things like Scanorders (Alternate for Interlaced Video, ZigZig for Progressive) and Stuff like that.

The simplest Explanation is: Each Element of the Matrix represents a part of the Frequence Spectrum of a Picture, not Pixels!
The left upper corner stands for low Frequencies, the lower right corner stands for higher Frequencies.
And High Frequencies are High Details, low Frequencies are Low Details.
So if the Numbers in the Elements are big, you will have a higher Quantisation, and that results in less Details in the Picture.

If you plan to produce a Interlaced SVCD, then search the Web for the interlaced Matrix from mb1



Question - Encoding Problem, Always Stops at ..... No.28875
russ2489  2002-10-02 07:36:32 ( ID:ma6n7wfyka2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello, Im trying to encode a video of mine. Only problem is that always when the movie gets so far done it will freeze up and not encode any farther. I have tried this 3 times and nothing seems to work. I also did move the Direct Show priority thing to a 2. Thanks and hopefully one of you can help me out.

Thanks,


Russ


minion  2002-10-03 12:20:19 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Does it freeze up around the same time every time??If so then it is most likely a Problem with your AVI file..You can try frame serveing it to Tmpgenc with virtual Dub and with Virtual Dub it has better filters so you might get a better result if you have a less that perfect Source file...


russ2489  2002-10-03 18:23:50 ( ID:ma6n7wfyka2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I will play around with it, some of my others files do not freeze up so it must be that particular file, thanks.



Question - Audio encoder for TMPGE No.28871
Sonny Trang  2002-10-02 03:36:28 ( ID:exohdm9yplr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

A while back I think Ashy sent me a sound encoder to encode sounds separately from TMPGE, but I seem to loose that mail. If anyone knows of any freeware sound enconder, please let me know. When I used TMPG 2.57 to encode 1-hr AVI to MPG2, I lost the sound at ~33 min mark, and get it back within 1 min or so. I also had the same problem with version 2.56, but with a 2-hr AVI convertion, loosing sound at ~45 min mark.

Seem like all versions of TMPGE have this problem.

So I plan to encode sound separately, if I can find some freeware.

Sonny

http://shibatch.sourceforge.net/
goto this site and get the sampling rate converter, use it as a external plug-in for Tmpegnc.

http://www.sonicspot.com/scmpx/scmpx.html
goto this site and download the audio encoder, also use it in tmpegnc as a external plug-in.

In Tmpegnc goto Options>Environmental settings>External tools and then browse for the .exe files for each of these programs(after you unzipped them of course)


Sonny Trang  2002-10-02 18:13:12 ( ID:exohdm9yplr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for replying.

I am downloading now, and my next question is why do I need the
sampling rate converter?

Sonny


gbagman37  2002-10-03 04:26:10 ( ID:gfs3fzybyzl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You do not need it, it is just Tpegnc does not do a very good job of encoding audio, so I use an external one. The sampleing rate needs to be changed for a Mpeg anyway. Also it seems to encode the movie faster.



Question - meta data No.28865
Oh  2002-10-01 20:11:46 ( ID:enob4yszwt2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

first, thanks to minion

I tried to do that with TMPGEnc, and I did. but it didn't work.
I want to know, just how to put those info lines
and make it show during the play at the bottom line.

second, I tried to use 'ID-TAG' and I could change the infos of asf files,
but couldn't with MPEG files.
there is a saying like 'Install Power pack to enable tag editing'
but I don't know how.

third, this thing called Kazaa, how do I get it?

thanks again.
hope to hear from you soon.

Why do u keep creating new threads on the same subject???

It is annoying and difficult to track the gyst of the thread. If it's an attempt to have ur posts noticed then don't bother as your post will most likely still be read so please refrain from this practice.

Question - CPU Utilization No.28862
StephanWolf  2002-10-01 18:32:20 ( ID:jghoz8n9qow )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am using TMPGEnc 2.5.8. When I first start Encoding, the CPU Utilization is at 100%, but as time goes by, the utilization continues to decrease until it reaches about 5%. It will spike up to 100% about every 3-5 seconds, but then drop back down to 5%. Any idea what could cause this?

System Settings
AMD Athlon XP 2000 processor

Do you have anything else running at the same time and if so check background priority.



Question - windows illegal operation error opening up avi file when direct show priority increased No.28861
azacamis  2002-10-01 18:14:27 ( ID:uj4bzxdhryn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have a problem opening up this particular AVI file, as usual the 'cannot open or supported' error. It can open just fine using WMP. I thought checking the video codec it used might help but I cannot see it under WMP properties. It is definitely the video cause I can open the audio just fine. I tried increasing the direct show priority and it did not gives the same error but windows 'illegal operation' instead.

Any clues?



Question - Template that sets items on "Advanced" tab No.28858
phrend  2002-10-01 18:13:01 ( ID:lysds8lbtrm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I would like to make a template that sets up everything for me... including the settings on the "Advanced" tab. When I save my own templates, these settings do not appear to be saved?

Thanks...


ASHY  2002-10-01 20:35:09 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

That is correct these settings cannot be saved which only makes sense as each input source is most likely to be different anyway so there is no point in being able to save these settings.
Most of the settings do not change when TMPG is shutdown anyway unless you change them manually or load another movie.

ASHY


phrend  2002-10-07 07:11:39 ( ID:lysds8lbtrm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well... I'm trying to use TMPGEnc to convert videos that I extract from my TiVo to SVCD. They are all the same as far as I am concerned... too bad I can't make a template to automate the whole process.

Thanks for your reply... I guess I'll need to keep looking to see if there is an app that will better suit my needs.



Question - Win 2000 compatibility No.28851
SuperstarDJ  2002-10-01 10:47:20 ( ID:8aadzeh8w6r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am trying to use TMPGEnc 2.58 on Windows 2000 with limited success. It often crashes after a few minutes of video has been compressed to MPG1 format.

Any ideas..??? Does anyone know of compatibility issues?

I do not have administrative rights on the PC, and am not sure if this is effecting the performance. It used to run fine under previous versions of Windows.... and I used to have an earlier version of TMPGEnc, and upgraded recently.

I am in a bit of a hurry to get some files sent out and need any advice... cheers.!!


Travis  2002-10-01 17:45:35 ( ID:2dgvoenolff )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hey, my name is Travis.

Anyway, I have noticed that if I try and do anything in Win2000 that takes up memory Ram the Computer restarts. That includes Games or Video editing. If you have a good enough pc, I suggest keep on doing things in windows and It might be alright. I've had it where I'm playing games and I get a stack dump message. Or the system restarts. Also, I have kept on doing things on the PC that won't take up much Memory ram so that the PC doesn't Restart(somehow). Try surfing the net while it's working on it. Or maybe try a memory clear program. I haven't tried that yet. Let me know if it works.


adv_h67  2002-10-01 18:33:48 ( ID:qelq1kvs20l )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I can tell you I have had Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 (now Service Pack 3) and DirectX8.1b, last chipset drivers, and just finished today to encode a long mpeg-1 movie for DVD during 23 hours. Tmpeg 2.58. No problem. Browsing internet sometimes, copying files and answering mail when needed. No hangs.


Minion  2002-10-02 07:16:27 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Maybe if you weren"t Surfing the net abd downloading and running other programs it wouldn"t take you 23 hours to encode, it only takes me 6 maX for 2 hours of full res Mpeg2 ..


adv_h67  2002-10-03 08:19:15 ( ID:nj0i9qykqon )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

My comment was about stability. It lasts 23 hours because it is a 4 hours movie from a crappy VHS tape, and the needed filters to clean the movie a bit (SpatialSoften,msharpen from avisynth, scaling and Deinterlace in TmpegEnc for best results) makes the encoding more slow. If I use TmpegEnc noise filters it would last 36 hours, estimated by TmpegEnc. Possibly my occasional browsing during 1 day has slowed down the process 30 minutes or less, but no hangs ;) .
My computer: Athlon XP 1500+, chipset nForce with 512 MB DDR RAM.


adv_h67  2002-10-03 08:35:13 ( ID:nj0i9qykqon )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I realized another detail. I am using my Windows 2000 with full Administrator rights. It could be your problem (some months ago, I had problems with TmpegEnc and user limited rights before).


SuperstarDJ  2002-10-03 10:05:06 ( ID:8aadzeh8w6r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I think I read somewhere that you can't have a different version of TMPG put on your machine if you have had a previous one. Does anyone know if that is true?

I just installed the same version on to a colleagues computer and it works just fine..... but that doesn't solve my problem..!!!!



Bug report - TMPGEEnc. File Error - not supported video? No.28845
russ2489  2002-10-01 08:05:35 ( ID:ma6n7wfyka2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have this problem when I'm trying to convert. In the box where you pick your audio input and video input you have to then brwose and find your movie. Anyways I can pick my audio fine and it works. But when i try to put my video in there comes up this can not open, or unsuported. So I heard something about Raising the "Direct File Reader" but I can not even find out where i can raise that. Also is there any "Plug Ins" I can download and where could I donwload them.

Thanks

Russ


Minion  2002-10-01 22:53:12 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

"Options" to "Enviromental settings" to "Vfapi plugins" and Raise the "Direct show" to "2"..

Hi Guys

I an new to this so it would save a lot of time if you could help me. In Options/Enviromental I rightclick on the Direct show and raise it to 2. It then places it self on top of that screen. BUT I still get the message can not open or unsuported when i try to open my avs file. Did I miss something on installation or what.

Thanks

Joe


minion  2002-10-03 12:42:18 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When useing AVS file from AVISynth it is probably better to Dis-Able the direct show instead of raiseing it...What works with AVS files and Tmpgenc really well is "Link2 Tool avi wraper" but it is hard to find ...


josef  2002-10-03 14:53:56 ( ID:x.rmf5quc.f )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for your fast answer minion

No i am using DVDx where i create the avs file but i still get the damn massege all the time. I have tryed to raise the direct and lower it and disable it. Any tip what to do next..

Question - write error occurred during MPEG generation No.28844
Ray  2002-10-01 06:48:00 ( ID:h2qpg8lbfnc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi there,

Did one of you guys ever seen this error while writing the MPEG file?

"Write error occurred at address 00487142 of module 'TMPGEnc.exe' with 00229000"

This happened twice to me, after first installing the TMPGEnc-2.58.44.152-Free version. Does anyone recognize this error? I should have had enough resources free (>5G), both on my drive as in RAM (512) . The processor is an Intel P4 1.8Ghz.

I would be obliged for any good suggestions,

Ray

During the encoding process i keep on getting small error boxes, saying "Error -53740378 166992" and similar. WHat is this? how can i stop it?


ralf  2002-10-01 11:48:53 ( ID:.l/xw0lubxk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Probably the Audio Data corrupt. Try to encode the audio with VirtualDub and
then use this wav-file in TMPG Enc.

You may first try to clear the box with the audiofile in TMPG Enc. if it works thats the problem.
