I have been using tmpgenc quite a bit and it works pretty good but now I have a new problem. I have a movie that is suppose to be a divx/avi movie but I can not load it into tmpgenc because it is at a framerate of 14.985. I used virtualdub to convert it to 29.970 and then I loaded it into the tmpgenc but the final product had correct sound but the video played back at about twice the speed it should. How do I correct this problem?
Well obviously it's going to play at twice the speed, you have doubled the framerate!
Load the original 14.985 fps AVI into TMPG and choose the framerate option - '14.985 fps(internally 29.97 fps)' under Setting>Video where it says 'Framerate'
This will convert the AVI to the correct framerate for you when you encode.
Hi. I've got an unusual problem. I am using TMPG (free) on the Japanese version of Win98. In response to this, TMPG automatically sets itself up with Japanese menus. There seems to be no way to change this. I've looked at all the settings and scanned the .ini file as well, but I can find nothing.
It's not a big problem as I can handle Japanese pretty well, but it is a bit of a pain as it's not my native language. Is there any way to force TMPG to use English, or at least provide me with a choice of languages?
Multiplexing means to combine 2 or more streams of video and audio into a single stream. Generally, it means to combine multiple single signals into a one without loosing the ability to demux them.
I have the DVD "Whales" and want make a VCD of it.
The backcover says it's NTSC, PowerDVD also says 29,97fps.
Well the movie is 40 mins long but if I encode it as
NTSC-VCD (I use the wizard for it) I get a 50min-video
and the sound end (who wonders) after 40 mins.
So, what's the problem there? Any solutions?
Oh and sometimes I get at ~80% that errer, too:
"Write error occurred at address 004028A9 of module 'TMPGENC.EXE' with 008C0890"
Is that a known bug? Any solutions for that, too?
>Well How did you encode this DVD???What method did you use to encode the Vob files???
hm? I didn't the DVD. I bought the DVD and what watch it on a VCD-only player.
Like I sayed, the Source-Video from the DVD is NTSC, 29,97fps. Why the video get's longer? it's 40 mins but after I encode the VCD-MPEG-file it's 50mins!
What In the world are you talking about??? I asked you how you encoded the DVD to VCD and you say you didn"t!! Then How the hell did you make a VCD out of it????? Well My Question stands..."HOW DID YOU ENCODE THIS DVD OR VOB Files????
There is NO OTHER WAY to make a VCD out of a DVD besides encodeing it....Geesssuusss....
I think theres a misundertstanding here. Minion is not asking how you encoded the actual DVD, but what process did you use to encode to VCD from the DVD.

uhm well your question "how did you encode the DVD" sounds to me
that you ask how I make the DVD, sorry... :}
Well, as I sayed already(!), I used the TMPGEnc Wizard-Preset for"NTSC-VCD"
and set the motion-search to High-Quality. :}
That is not What I"m talking about...How did you extract the VOB files from the DVD???How did you Extract the audio track from the VOB files???How did you frameserve the VOB files to Tmpgenc???Or did you Frameserve the VOB files or Did you try to Just load the VIB files directly into Tmpgenc(A Big No No)???

I used SmartRipper to extract the VOB-files, used DVD2AVI to extract the audio-track and used the *.d2v file that smart-ripper has make and loaded it.
I need to encode about 50-60 min video onto a CD. What will be the best seting for encoding: 352-240 and higher birate than standard VCD, or SVCD format (480x480 with VBR)?
Well if you want to make a SVCD then you will be useing a lower Bitrate than Standard....What you need is a "Bitrate Calculator"......look for one on "Google"..
Well there isn"t any Charity orginazation for software..But you might be able to find an old version of it at " http://www.apachez.net/ " in the tools section...
I cannot open my dv2 file or movie file!
I read on a previous post to import the dvd2avi.vfp file into Tmpg directory, I think Im being stupid but how do you do this?
Look inside the "DVD2AVI" folder and you will see a File called "DVD2AVI.vfp" Copy and paste this file into the "Tmpgenc" folder..that is it..But there is no need to do this if the "DVD2AVI.vfp" plugin is showing in the "Vfapi Plugins"..Go to "options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and look for the plugin in the list..if it isn"t there then you need to copy and paste the DVD2AVI.vfp" file into the "Tmpgenc" Folder...another thing you have to remember is that you can not moove or Delete any of the VOB files or D2V file from were they are or it won"t work..and if in the end everything looks fine but tmpgenc still won"t accept the D2V file then you should try makeing a New D2V file...
This doesn't really concern TMPG, but I can't find a solution for my problem anywhere, so I'll try and ask it here.
I have an ATI allinwonder rage pro. I want to use it as a digital VCR, however:
-The picture recorded is alwasy shaking, no matter what codec I use (or waht settings in that codec) (usually divx 5) or which program (ati's program, FlyDS)
-The audio is never synched (I can't get it better with virual dub or avi info tool, because the speed of the audio (or video) seems to vary)
I have the latest ati drivers installed, running XP on a PIII 550 300 mb ram.
How do you mean shaking? Do you mean it jerks?
This could be due to dropped frames. Try dropping the bitrate setting and the resolution down to 352x240 because on your system there isn't enough CPU power to cope with high bitrates and high resolutions.
With your System you shouldn"t try to capture with the DivX-5 codec, it is a Very CPU intensive Codec for Video capture..Even on My 1.87ghz I can"t capture with DivX at pretty much any resolution...A good Low CPU codec to use is "Pic-Video Mjpeg" and it produces Quite good Quality Files, but the files are a lot bigger than a DivX file so you will need to have at least 5-7gb per hour of video at 352+240 on 18 quality..And with your Card you would be better off useing Genaric WDM Drivers and Capture with Virtual Dub cuz it is one of the best and only programs that properly Keeps Sync with the time lag between your Capture card and your sound card, and properly compensates for Dropped frames.. I use a ATI TV Wonder(Conexant BT878A) and useing the ATI Drivers and software I couldn"t capture at very high resolutions or Bitrates and the Quality of what I could Capture was Marginal..But after I switched to Genaric WDM Drivers I can Capture at 756+576 without dropping frames with Quite good Quality....Just a sugestion?
I agree that changing the drivers will make a difference, especially, as Minion points out, if the the drivers are locked to a maximum frame size like the crappy ones I got with my WinTV Go card.
I changed to the tweaked WDM drivers below and the capture performance of the card increased.
WDM drivers work best on a Win2000/XP system and much better than the old VFW drivers which is what you usually use on a Win98/ME system.
Having said this Virtualdub is a good program, but is now a bit outdated as far as capturing is concerned. Virtualdub is a VFW only capture program and thus means performance won't be as high a WDM capture program.
The best WDM program I have used so far for capturing (and believe me I've tried most of them) is IUVCR.
The performance and features of this program are excellant, it also has options for synching the audio.
There are also tweaked drivers on the site which will work with any BT848/878 card.
Also regarding the DIVX 5 codec.
I actually do use this codec for all my capturing because of it's de-interlacing and progressive capturing abilties.
My P4 1.7 can capture to 720x576 at full quality with this codec without dropping frames or sychronization.
It is also possible to use it with your system as I used to on my old P3 500.
just make sure you select 352x240 as your resolution and change the 'Performance/Quality' setting under the 'Advanced' tab to 'Fastest'.
This won't affect the quality of the capture but the file size will be larger.
Another important factor is to make sure your Hard drive is 'defragged'.
When I use "Virtual Dub" the Driver is a "WDM Driver" well that is what it says when I go to "Capture AVI" then go to "Video" and at the bottom of the list the Available Drivers are listed and the only driver that is listed says "Microsoft WDM Image Capture(Win32)" the VFW driver seems to only work in "Compaibility Mode".....IUVCR is really Buggy on my system, The Framerate is allways locked at 25fps or lower so It won"t let me capture at 29.975/30fps NTSC.
Expect massive frame loss capturing using virtualdub to a primary hdd with a P3 550 :o)

I am having trouble fitting an average movie onto one VCD. I lowered the bit rate (after calculating it) but am having 2 problems.
1) It still exceeds 800 MB for an 80 min disc.
2) The movie aspect ratio is not standard. The pictures are elongated, even after I have unlocked the parameters and choosen the ones I typically use.
If you are lowering the bitrate to lower than VCD standard Bitrates you need to change the "System" setting to "Video-CD Non-Standard" or Tmpgenc will Pad the stream to be VCD compliant so the file size will be the same size ...You could be getting a wierd elongated look Cuz the AVI file has a Non standard Resolution..A Lot of files on the net Have totally Screwed up Resolutions like "640+272" which is a strange looking resolution when converted to VCD...Use the "Clip Frame" settings and the "Video arrange Method" to arange the frames so that they look as you want....
I encoded the video with newest version of TMPGenc, and burn into VCD. Everything is fine on Mintek player, but Sony-DAV450 does not play the video correctly. Is it possible that I missing some settings?
If everything is fine on the Mintek, then it must be a Problem with the Sony...The problem probably is that the Sony is More picky with the type of VCD"s it will play..your VCD could be slightly out of Spec and that is why the Sony is haveing problems with it...I have noticed that the more expensive players are much more picky with the files they will play..I work in a Big chain Electronics store and we get so many poeple comeing in and buying $300-$400 DVD Players and they end up bringing them back in a few days Cuz they won"t properly play there home made VCD/SVCD"s..and they end up exchangeing them for a Cheapo $99 dvd player like a ElectroHome or Mintek or some other cheapo player Cuz they will play non-standard VCD/SVCD"s....
I have a Sony NS300 DVD and I can use a cdr brand called Magmedia that works very well. I got a lot of help from http://vcdhelp.com/dvdplayers.php. It lists all the dvd players.
The problem only exist on the newest verios of TMPGenc. The video encoded by older version of program has no problem on either DVD player. Is it possible of new implymented INTEL HT Technology?
when I'm converting a movie to a DVD format, some of the screen turn out to be either square or full screen. How would I convert them to widescreen? I like that format better because it shows more of the picture. Can somebody tell me how to do this? Thanks!!!
