I have been using TMPGEnc and I'm not sure which size to use. Is it 1:1(VGA) or 4:3(NTSC)? I want to burn the MPEG file onto a VCD so I can view it on TV. Well, I have been using the 4:3(NTSC) size and when I burned it onto a VCD using Nero, some of the top, left, right, and bottom portions have been chopped off from the TV.
The movie I was encoding had subtitles on it. When it was viewed on the TV, the subtitled went below the TV screen. Why is this? How can I fix this?
Hi there!
1:1 is normal TV. 4:3 is some widescreen and most laptop size. 16:9 is widescreen. I do all mine at 4:3 and on a normal TV it might be a bit squashed but is all there. On a widescreen (mine) its fine. I use pal but it should be the same. So it all depends on what you want to view it on (and in the case of 1:1 what it was originally ie Letterbox)
I think you are off there "4:3" is Normal TV 16:9 is widescreen and useing the 1:1 settings uses the same aspect ratio as the file you are loading in so there will be no aspect ratio change from the file you are encodeing, so if the file you want to encode has a aspect ratio different than the ones that are selectable then useing the "1:1" will use the aspect ratio of the source file...
I'm using VirtualDub to capture video. And, as you probably know, VD generates several files with the extensions .00 .01 .02 .03 and so on..
How do i select all these files and compress it into One file?
Do I have to merge them together afterwards or? When I merge files there seems
to be a audio-click/tick at the mergepoint.. So i rather select all the files
at once to encode into one nice mpg-file! :) Is this possible?
Use the "Append AVI" function in Virtual Dub to load all the avi files into V-Dub in the correct order then Frame serve the files to Tmpgenc and it will encode then into 1 big file....
If you created these segments with Virtualdub then there is no need to use the append function as Virtualdub adds a flag to these files and will load each subsequent segment automatically.
Open the first segment with Virtualdub and ensure 'automatically detect and load additional segments' is checked. Virtualdub will then load all segments as one file automatically.
Actually I ment encoding in TMPGEnc, and TMPGEnc doesn't seem to understand
that there are several files / a sequence of files to load..
My bad, I was unclear.
How do I "Frame serve" TMPGEnc from VDub then? Sounds advanced! :)
I have a 60 second .AVI file that I am trying to compress into a MPEG-1 file. No matter what bit-rate, size, etc, I try, keep getting the same file size- 10MB.
Click 'Load' then navigate to the 'extra' folder in your templates folder then double click 'unlock.mcf'
Next click Setting>System and change the stream setting to 'MPEG1 VCD(non standard)
If you aready have encoded the file with a lower bitrate then run the file through the TMPG simple multiplexer with the above setting. This will remove the padding which is being added to your file and will adjust the file size accordingly.
To know if there will be sound in the movie just do small test encode then play it back or go to the source range filter hand have a look at the audio graph.

When i want to decode a divx mpeg layer3 movie everything goes well but when i use the expert button to cut a movie i get the error message "win 32 api call failed"
I have a really simple animation here that blends two logos on a black background. All the colors are fine expect for whites, which appear yellowish in the output file. What is even more bizarre is that the whites get even yellower towards the edges.
Anyone know whats up here?! Any help would be hugely appreciated as I'm testing the app for my boss to buy and I've got a major deadline coming up. I don't want to revert back to cleaner now - this seems so good otherwise!
Okay, after a little more messing I've noticed that it's not just the whites that are being discolored. There appears to be some kind of yellow gradient (transparent at the top, strongest at the bottom), overlaying the whole video. It's just the whites that are affected the worst.
Right - I've sorted it. In case anyone else was having the same problem, all I did was tick the 'Interpolate YUV data from 4:1:1 to 4:4:4' in the General Environmental Settings.
Just so I know, does anyone know what purpose this serves?!
It was a raw animation of two image files animated in After Effects and output to uncompressed AVI on a Win2k machine.
I suspect this is a bug report.
After encoding an MPEG file, TMPGenc unexpectedly just quits after completion, regardless if it's a single file encode or a batch encode.
I'm running win2k on an amd 1.33 ghz machine. I have more than enough ram and space for the program (I could adjust the temp directory for it)
Thanks lots if you guys could figure out why.
You have to extract the audio from your AVI file to WAV with Virtual Dub or sound forge and use that as the audio source,But if the audio is AC3 you can use AVIMuX to de-mux and uncompress the audio...
Every time i try to encode a 700mb avi film file, it doesnt have any sound. i have tries severel different films, dont know what to do, its really annoying, as i leave it for ages, and when its done there is no sound.
try VirtualDub to create a .wav file from your movie sound and use this in tmpgenc as the sound source.
or use avi2vcd to create an .avi file with uncompressed sound
