Hey i made an avi file to mpg and that worked fine sound and all then i cut it using the same program and burned it before i tested it (dumb) and well no sound came back to the movie i cut no sound? Weird eh? Someone a little help here
You didn't mention what encoding program you used but anyways try cutting/splitting the video with BBMEG. You can choose the size where it will split and then burn with nero. Check it before you burn
i have a problem. i try to encode an .avi file and it seems that the audio is unable to be processed with the avi!!! i have tryied to make a .wav of the audio of the movie and plug that into the audio part but i encode still with no sound. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!
This is what I do to encode avi to mpeg.
1) First, I always rebuild the avi file with DivFix.
2) Open Virtual Dub, open your avi file, go to audio chose full processsing mode, then go to file and save as wav.
3) When it is done processing, I usually close the avi file and then reopen it. When I open it again, this time I go to video choose direct stream copy and audio chose no audio then go to file and save as avi.
4) Close your avi file and then close Virtual Dub.
4) You will end up with two files one with video only and the other with audio only.
5) Open the video only and audio only files in TMPGE. Choose the settings you want etc., name your new mpeg and where you want to save it, then encode.

Well that didn't work. it kept on coming up with this error that the audio compression wasn't right or something like that.
i was using virtual dub to get the sound into an mp3 for the movie and it sez that the audio compression is different from the original or something like that.
however i did do this for a different movie and it did work using the virtual dub mp3 and the original video to encode the mpg. so it does work just not with the movie i want it to.
so if anyone has Yu-Gi-Oh Movie in mpg format or in avi format that can be encoded e-mail me
Why are you trying to encode the audio to mp3 this is incompatible for MPEG VCD or SVCD?
It could be that your movie contains Ac3 audio which is incompatible audio for TMPG and Virtualdub.
To extract the audio to a wav file use AVIMUX which can handle most types of audio in an AVI.
Just load the AVI into AVIMUX and highlight the audio stream then right click on the audio stream to bring up the compression settings. Choose PCM to extract to a wav.
i have used mp3's for audio just recently with tmpgenc as stated in previous post. virtual dub made it into an mp3. but i will try that progy that you metioned.
i have 2 other video capturing/encoding programs on my computer (Premeire, Cleaner), and i am wondering if adding this program will conflict with the others and cause a problem...? i NEED the .wmv capability to convert to .mpg.
Not At All...If software is made by a legit company and not your Neighbour and good software there shouldn"t ever be a conflict in 2 or more pieces of software, and not with Tmpgenc, i have Premier 6.5 and Cleaner 5.12 and about 20 other video editing ,encodeing Authoring and capture programs installed and never had any sort of conflict with Tmpgenc..There are ways to use WMV files in Programs that don"t normally accept WMV files By Frame serveing..I can encode WMV files in CCE or any other encoder frame serveing and a Lot Quicker than Cleaner can do it, unless you are useing Cleaner to Capture to WMV...
This lets you flip the "top field first" or aspect ratio flags along with many other settings. Saves having to go back and re-encode after a dumb error.
I am using TMPGenc, to take xvid encoded avi's and split them into DVD compatable, mpeg2 separate streams (for dvd studio pro). I have 10 video's, all with XVid codec, and 5 videos worked fine. The other 5 freeze the program or fail after 2-3 seconds. I can't figure out why some work and other wouldn't. Any ideas? Thanks!! I'm using .58 btw.
Hello, I've been using TMPGEnc for some time without any problems. I recently installed it on a new computer (AMD XP2000 and Windows XP) and it again worked fine. The only thing I've done differently is that yesterday I encoded an MPEG-2 file for the first time. Today when I tried to cut/join a different MPEG-1 file using MPEG Tools I get an error message and TMPGEnc shuts down.
Well it is totally simple, you open the mpeg tools go to Merge and Cut then load the first file then the second file then choose the output directory then click the "correct" button then click "Run" and that is it..even a Monkey can do it....but there is no gaurantee that the mpeg tools will work ,they are pretty Buggy...

It probably has nothing to do with the fact you encoded a Mpeg2 file the day before, the problem probably is that the Mpeg Tools are really Buggy and there isn"t anything you can do to fix then when they don"t want to work...Use a different Mpeg editor...
Everything is free on the net, you can find a couple Mpeg editors at "h**p://w*w.apachez.net" in the tools section, like Mpeg-VCR and M2-edit pro, they are older versions but they work fine...
I am using a Dell OptiPles GX260 2.25 Ghz with 512 Mb memory.When starting the conversion process, I receive an error stating that P3Package.dll will not load and the process will not continue. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
OK, This is a Very common Question..First make sure that all the Tmpgenc files are in the same folder and not just sitting on your desktop...then look in the Tmpgenc folder and look for a file called "P3P Package.dll" if it isn"t there then that is your problem but if it is there you can try copy and pasteing the file into the System32 folder and if that don"t work download tmpgenc again..
I have the logo filter for virtual dub but this takes long because I am taking my final mpeg and going to avi with the logo on it than i gotta go back to mpeg with tmpgenc.
But you say there is a way to transfer it over to tmpgenc straight?
Can I take my original dv2 files and use those in virtuald? and cut out all these useless steps?
This is what i was doing... DVD TO D2V, D2V to MPEG, MPEG to AVI with logo than AVI TO FINAL MPEG.
Maybe I can cut out many steps and save lots of hours.
I have converted my avi. file to mpeg using tmpgenc and i put it right on to a blank cd. As you probably guessed, it doesn't work in my dvd player. Is there something else I have to do to get the video to play? The dvd player says "bad disc"? I could really use some help from some nice person, I would love to get this thing working. Thanks in advance for any advice. -Patrick
Hi there, tmpgenc on help you to encode but not burning VCD. If you need more help, you can check in the 'http://www.vcdhelp.com' website which show the steps from converting avi file to burning VCD/SVCD/DVD. Check it out and browse around the website. It helps alot.
Well it probably has to do with how you burned it to disk...What did you use??You have to use a Program specificly designed to burn vcd/svcd"s like Nero or VCDEasy, you can"t just burn it to a CD-r as a data cd and have it play...
Hi, I would like you guys to help me out. I'm not sure where's my problem is. Please advice. I use VirtualDub to change the audio to wav file. Then i use TMPGEnc to encode and everything seem to be ok without any message popping out. After complete encoding, I use Nero Burner to Burn the CD. Everything seem to be ok during the burning process. But went the VCD complete burning, i try it on my DVD player and also my laptop. The audio seem to be find but the picture doesn't play as smooth as the original file for the whole show (Can't see the picure nicely like playing a movie in the internet (300kbps) using 128kbps broadband speed). I'm not sure what happen where i just follow the instruction on 'AVI to VCD MPEG' and 'How to make VCD with Nero 5.5+'. Please advice whether its the encoding problem or nero burning problem and also the step to overcome the problem. Thanks in advance.
You didn"t really explain the problem very well but i"ll try to throw some tips at you....First you have to encode the file to the same frame rate as the source file you you will get Jumpy playback on yer DVD Player..Look at the Mpeg file after encodeing it and see if it is a problem with the Mpeg file of with nero..
This is all the information that i can provide. I think my problem is what you call jecky playback but i don't know where is my mistake is. Everything seems to be find until completion of burning process. Please tell me where my mistake is and tell me what should i do to overcome this problem. Thanks in advance.
Well It looks like you have the proper settings in Tmpgenc, unless the field order is incorrect but that really doesn"t degrade the Quality per sey as much as it is anoying to watch cuz of the jumpyness when there is a Lot of motion..If it is a Blocky Picture with a Lot of stray piXels floating around then that could just be the Crapy Quality of a standard Bitrate VCD..If you think it could be the field order You can find out what the correct field order is by Loading the file in the WiZard(plus version?)and tmpgenc should pop up with a Dialog saying "Judgeing Field Order" then underneath it will change it to the correct Setting...but if it is just Crappy quality you can try raiseing the Bitrate...
So, where can i find this wizard (plus version) software so that i can try to correct the setting for the field order. What's the full name of this software?
Hi Ashy, I living in a NTSC country. After burning the VCD, I tried both playing on my TV and even on my laptop and the effect is still the same. I think my problem is what Minion said 'Blocky picture with a lots of stray pixel around'. My anime movie has a lot of small blocky thing arounsd the screen. My anime in AVI file looks great when i play the movie (I don't think is the quality of the anime). Is it the birate problem? If i burn VCD, i can't increase the birate. Do i need to burn SVCD to get the picture right? I'm just wondering about the video source. Do i need to change it or just stick with 1:1 VGA. Some instruction uses 1:1 VGA and some changes it to 4:3 525 line (NTSC). Please advice......
I'm getting sort of confused as to ur problem here.
What exactly is the problem?
Is just that the picture quality isn't as good as the original or are you experiencing jerky playback problems?
If it is simply a quality problem then I'm afraid this is just the nature of VCD. Standard VCD to be honest is not that good.
If you want higher quality you will need to increase the bitrate or you could try encoding to SVCD, but your DVD player may not support it.
Sorry Ashy, I sorry if i confuses you with such a question. I tried to burn a VCD and i have no problem during the process. I'm not sure it is called jecky playback or 'blocky picture with a lot of stray piXels floating around' which minion said. When i try to play it on my DVD player, the picture have lots of small boxes around the screen and some times don't. Is this where you'll call 'blocky picture with a lot of stray piXels floating around'? If yes, then should i change burning VCD to SVCD so i can get better quality? Please advice....
The problem is the bitrate which VCD uses and frankly isn't high enough to give a quality picture without blocks.
These blocks are called macroblocks and mainly appear in high motion scenes which need a high bitrate. Because of the low bitrate of VCD the bitrate isn't high enough to cope with the detail and action scenes which xauses a blocky picture.
To remedy this you can either up the standard bitrate until the blocks appear or use a VBR encoding method which will allow you to fit a higher bitrate movie on to a CDR but while keeping the file size reasonable.
I am sending you some templates to use which will give you a much better quality picture and will allow you to fit at least 100mins on to 2 80 min cdr's.
>To remedy this you can either up the standard bitrate until the blocks appear or use a VBR encoding method which will allow you to fit a higher bitrate movie on to a CDR but while keeping the file size reasonable.
Sorry this line should read:
To remedy this you can either up the standard bitrate until the blocks disappear or use a VBR encoding method which will allow you to fit a higher bitrate movie on to a CDR but while keeping the file size reasonable.
Hi Ashy, I have try to download the template you send to my e-mail account but fail. The problem is listed on your e-mail account. Could you please check your e-mail account where the problem is listed there.
I have sent the solution to your problem in your email. You are incorrectly trying to download the file using a download manager. You must disable your download manager to download attachments from email accounts.
I'm having trouble converting a movie i downloaded on the web (twice), each time i tried the convertion stopped at 99% with an error (write error occured at adress 004028A9 of module 'TEMPENC.EXE' with 009006C0)
I noticed the file name ends up with .DVDrip.VITE could it be i need to change a setting in the environmental setting or maybe am missing a codec?
>Well If it stoped at 99% then it should be done encodeing anyways...Can you play the file that you encoded???
Nope the file is not playing and window media player is only showing a question mark instead of a running time next to a black screen. Very frustrating after 5 hours of converting. :)
The file can still be fixable...Maybe....the last part of encodeing is were Tmpgenc writes the Header and the sequence end code and that is were the crash probably happened so you can try to load the file into the multiplex and just run it through and it might correct the problem with the incomplete header...

I'm sorry i probably sound like the beginner i am :D
The multiplex and simple mulitplex look for MPG files so i guess it's the converted file that doesn't work i need to load there isn't it?
In any case thank you for sticking with me in my present perillious adventure :D
