this program won't read or right some avi's movies and won't always convert sound to mp3 like I set it to. And need to intergraded divx.com's codec in to it so that it will read my avi's that are divx format.
If you want to MAKE AVI/DivX files then DONT use tmpgenc for this...Tmpgenc can do it But there are better programs for this and it is not what Tmpgenc was made for, so use the Proper tools for Makeing AVI Files like V-Dub...
I am currently using the Haupaugge WinTV-PVR-250 to capture some video (VBR). With version 2.59 of TMPGenc, I seem to be getting alot of crashes in Windows XP when trying to use the MPEG Tools to cut set the start and end of the MPEG, then re-output it. At first I throught that it was a issue with my computer, so I did a fresh build with hardware and software (Windows XP, latest Drivers, etc) but it still seems to happen. It only seems to happen when I drag it to the end of the file. My hardware is as follows:
AMD Athlon 1800+
ECS Motherboard (Cheapo)
512 Megs of RAM (running memmory checker on this now)
Integrated SIS Video (allocating 64 Megs)
Integrated SIS Sound
Western Digital 120 Gig HD
Haupaugge WinTV-PVR-250
Microsoft USB Mouse & PS/2 Keyboard
Windows XP SP1
Latest Drivers
WinDVD 4.0
ULead DVD Movie Factory
I have similar issues in the NanoMPEG software that came with the Haupagge, in which it crashes at the end of the file. Thinking it was a file corruption issue, I imported the file into the Tmpgenc MPEG tools, and did a reoutput with no changes. When I tried to open the new output file, again it crashed. The size of the file is about 3.7Gigs, if this matters.
Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Do you have another tool you could suggest to see if I can eliminate the problem from TEMPGenc. I would like to purchase this software, if it will work.
I have experienced this problem on Many occations and there is no solution for this...What you have to do is use a Different Mpeg editor..You can use something like "Mpeg2VCR" or Mpeg scissors..
Made the same experience with consistent crashes of MpegTools (running Win98), contrary to the demo version of mpeg1vcr that works reliable. This is why I do not believe in a problem in the Hauppage file or system environment. If the problem in TMpgEnc cannot be solved (as indicated by the previous response) I wonder whether many interested people want to invest in a purchase. As for me, though I was impressed by the other features of TMpgEnc, I will spend my bucks for a different tool. As for TMpgEnc, this is a sad story.
A disappointed potential customer, now lost to competition.

Tmpgenc"s "Merge & Cut" only supports files that have been encoded by Tmpgenc and only supports files that have been encoded useing the CBR encodeing Method...But that said it still doesn"t work very often ...But like A Lot of software I usually have to use other pieces of software instead of useing the same function in the original software..
I got an AVI of 730 MB and I want to convert it to MPEG 2 without changing it at all i want similar size and same or even better quality....
how can i do it???
Well You Most likely CANT do it...The size on the Mpeg file is directly related to the "LENGTH" of the AVI file NOT the size of the AVI file, if the AVI file is a Full Movie say 90 Minutes then the Minimum size if the File in Low Quality Mpeg1/VCD will Be 900MB and if you want it to be high Quality Mpeg2/SVCD at 90 minutes will be about 1.8gb..So for Mpeg1/VCD then it is about 10mb per minute and about 20mb per minute for Mpeg2/SVCD....
I stumbled on to something really cool here? I use Virtual Dub to capture segmented AVI. There is a spill drive, so the avi segments are usually split up between drive D: and drive E: and in completely different folders.
I didn't think TMPGEnc would know about segments on drive E: if I loaded the first segment on drive D:.. But it did!! It loaded up all AVI segments even those on another drive/directory as a single animation.. Is this by design? I had thought, at first, that every segment had to be in the same directory for it to work.
It's really cool so I wonder if TMPGEnc was designed to do it this way. I know some AVI's have code in them that point to the drive/folder location for loading the next segmented AVI in a chain. Does the TMPGEnc segmenting feature look for this code and use it if it's there?
all i want to do is to select more than only one avi-file after i have already set my template. after i took more than 50 scenes from my dv-cam to my harddrive, these 50 scenes must be added one by one (50 times ctrl+s to save a project and then adding all to the batch-list). This takes time......
If there is still a solution for my problem (and for many more dv-cam users) please tell me, if not - please integrate it in this great encoder.
maybe it works... but i don´t want to rename them, cause scenalyzer gave them all the name of the datastamp. i want to keep the filenames as they are (i want to create a video-dvd with the originally scene-names like 20011117 13.00.18 in the menu.
the option you mean is probably environmental setting-> general-> open sequence files as a movie ? it don´t works. i renamed the scenes as you told me, but tmpg don´t select automatically the other scenes.
But wouldn't it be nice to have a multiple file input for the wizard?
I want to build a kind of index of my DV-Tapes. I captured all scenes with e.g. Scenalyzer, every scene is a separate avi-file. Instead of selecting one file only it would be nice to select all files in one directory. The following settings can be used for each file. After burning a VCD with all MPEG-files you can navigate through the scenes at a DVD-TV-set, without PC or DV-Camcorder.
Except that it only loads up to 20 files at a time. It would be nice if it could load hundreds at a time (e.g. many of my DV projects are split into one scene per AVI file).
I have added subtitles to an avi file using virtualdub. Having completed this process, I start frameserving and open up TMPG v2.58 and attempt to open the .vdr file. I then get an error message saying that the file is not supported, can anyone help me solve it please ?
Have to set up the "Frame server Client" correctly??? try opening up another instance of V-Dub and try to open up the VDR file with it and if it doesn"t open then you haven"t set up the frame server correctly or there is some other problem with V-Dub..but if you can open it with V-Dub then there is some problem with tmpgenc...
on the same lines as the previous question, is it possible to convert a low frame rate such as 12 or 14fps into something that will give a decent result when converted to a mpeg.
thanx again
Yes it is possible But Not with Tmpgenc, you have to use something like "Advanced NtSC/Pal converter" or "Procoder" will do it but you can"t do it properly with Tmpgenc..There is a AVSynth command that will do it also...
AVIfrate will change the framerate of an AVI, but bear in mind this will de-sync the audio which you will then have to shrink or stretch with Cooledit to make it the same length as the AVI.
How can I add a subtitle to an Mpeg 2 film. I've got a movie (DivX)
and a hungarian subtitle for it (.sub, .srt). I can watch it on PC with
MicroDVD but I cant add this file to an encoding. The main thing is : I want
to make a VCD with a subtitle on it, encoded on the video.
Another question: I started to encode a (.asf) movie and the estimated time was
29:35:12 and lenght of the movie is 20 minutes. why does it take so long
You will have to use something like "Virtual Dub" to FrameServe the File and the Subs to Tmpgenc....ASF Files are notoriusly full of errors so if you use something like "ASF Fix" to fix the file and maybe it will encode faster...
