how to split audio to separate channel ???

I have the following audio stream

test_stereo.mp2

and I want to split to

test_mono_left_channel.mp2
test_mono_right_channel.mp2

is there any software can do that ???

Use an audio editor.

After you've got the MP2 file, open it up in your favorite audio editor (I use Cooledit Pro) and split the channels.

For some reason pressing start on TMPGENC closes the whole application. I have tried re-installing it with a different version, but the same thing happens. Any ideas out there?

thanks in advance..chris

Hi,

does anybody know how to convert an Mpeg-2 File into an Mpeg-1 file using only tmpgenc ? Or do i need another programm ?

Thanks in advance

Gregor

why don't u try? after all tmpgenc is free for mpg1 encoding and u get 30 days on mpg2 encoding which u r not doing anyway...

Yes you can encode Mpeg2 to mpeg1 but you need the Cyberlink ligos or sony mpeg2 decoders installed...and it is a good idea to De-Mux the mpeg2 file then just encode the video to mpeg1 then mux the audio to the video....

when converting and the file is done the picture is black but when playing as the avi it displays fine , what would be the problem?

environmental settings.....vfapi tab and raise the priority of the direct show filter

Hi,

Why is it impossible to select VCD or SVCD source aspect ratio's in
the "Select Source File" menu. Loads of AVI files have 353x288 or
480x576 sizes. These are not selectable.

Thanks,

Marc

What do you mean? Both Resolution are 4:3 Ratios (PAL). So there's no need for more confusing Settings.

352/288=1.22
480/576=0.8

This is not 1.33

I mean that loads of AVI files have strange ratio's. Sometimes
the sizes I mentioned. Otherwise you always have to resize the
movie.

Marc

The source aspect ratio is not determined by You, but by your File, so changeing the source aspect ratio would be a Useless procedure because you would be changeing the what the real aspect ratio is...If you want to keep the same aspect ration as the source file choose the 1:1 aspect ratio as the out put ratio...and to change the settings you need to load the "Unlock.mfc" template....

I agree with B_Racer.
What's the problem both ratios are 4:3.
352x288 is a 4:3 PAL resolution and 480x576 is an SVCD MPEG2 resolution and any encoding program should recognize the SVCD flag and the aspect ratio as 4:3.

Ok thank you. The stange sizes of VCD and SVCD are
sometimes confusing, and I did'nt know that they
will be reconized automaticly.

Marc

How can I easily calculate the size of the svcd I will convert?
I want to make to 700mb svcd movie files. How can I set up Tmpgenc, so it wont make bigger files?

Download a bitrate calculator.

ASHY

Depends how much quality per disc space you want.

By default, an SVCD is 2520 Mbps and yields about 42 min on 700MB disc.
If you drop the quality of the video, however, to 1750 Mbps, you should be able to get about an hour, and so on.

And yes, you should get a bitrate calculator.

What does the "VBV buffer size optimization" do? When should I use it?

>"VBV buffer size optimization"
Where the hell does this setting exist?

I haven't noticed a setting for this.
It is possible adjust the VBV buffer size under the 'advanced' tab, but I'm not sure about the 'optimization' setting you are referring to.

If you simply mean 'What does the VBV buffer setting do' and are not referring to an actual 'optimization' setting then to put it *VERY* simply this setting tells your decoder which buffer setting to use.

MPEG files with different bitrates need different buffer settings.
The wrong buffer setting can affect the playback of your file.
In most cases if you are using a TMPG template you should have no problem with the set VBV buffer settings.
In genearal higher bitrates need higher buffer settings.
If you choose you can let TMPG decide the setting by changing it to '0'(automatic)'

I'm not going to go into detail about this (as I have before) it's a far to complicated subject and takes ages to explain the fundamentals of it.
If you search on google you should get some info. You may also find some info if you use the search button above.

TMPGEnc 0.11 had this Feature, but it produced Double MPEG-Headers (non compliant Streams).
If he really want to change die VBV-Buffer, he should try MPlex, the Multiplexer included in TSCV.

Afterripping a movie to SVCD (MPG2) previewing it on the computer is fine, but after burning with nero burning rom 5.5 and playing the SVCD in a DVD player the SVCD has around a 1 sec pause every 18 - 20 secs! this problem reoccurs at virtually the same time every time.....any idea??

Have you done any kind of frame rate conversion. Is the framerate of the SVCD different from the original movie?

ASHY

MINE DID THIS BUT IS EASY TO SOLVE GO INTO MPEG TOOLS -SIMPLE MULTIPLEX- BROWSE THE VIDEO INPUT AND PUT IN YOUR SVCD MPG THEN CHANGE THE `TYPE` FROM MPEG2 TO MPEG-1 VCD SAVE THE OUTPUT TO ANOTHER FOLDER AND THEN CLICK ON RUN TAKES ABOUT 5 -10MINS THEN USE NERO TO BURN AS VCD NOT SVCD -BURNT DISK WILL NOT PLAY ON COMPUTER BUT WILL PLAY ON DVD PLAYER AS AN SVCD (this fools the player into thinking it is a vcd but resolution is svcd)

Hi,

Is there a way to get an idea of the filesize by using
the VBR or CQ options in TMPGenc. When you are using
DVD2SVCD for example and using TMPGenc as encoder, the
program can calculate the target filesize. Is there a
way to fit VBR encodings to the size of CD's?

Thanks,

Marc

You can only make a rough guess with CQ VBR as it's imposssible to be precise.
You can find a typical scene in the movie and encode it for 1 minute.
Look at the file size then multiply that by the amount of minutes in the film and that will give you an idea as to how large the file will be.

To be more exact encode about 5 mins of a typical part of the movie then do the math.

Anyone interested in setting up a mirc channel? either e-mail me or submit a response!

What's a good Mpeg2 cutter w/ out having to drop some $$$

BBMPEG and DVtool can cut to file sizes, but there is no preview or just use TMPG.

MPEG Scissors (crap)

Most of the other cutters of any worth are gonna cost you $$$.

ASHY

Bitrate viewer is reporting the VBV buffer at half of what I enter in TMPGEnc (224 in TMPGEnc, but only 112 in Bitrate viewer!). Is that correct? Anyone else experience the same thing?

Don't worry it's a bug in bitrate viewer I think as it does this with all encoders.
