I have purcheased tmpgenc plus and i have had problems opening mpg2 files ever since version 2.57 came out. I have a fully licensed version of Ligos encoder installed that i just purchased. I have set the Ligos vfapi plugin priority to 2, i have uninstalled tmpgenc plus , Ligos encoder, reinstalled even resinstalled Windows XP. I know the mpg files are godd because Tmpgenc 2.6 will open them without problem. I am at my wits end. I read a lot of posts in the newsgroups about this same problem so i know i am not the only one. Can someone please help

Thanks
greg

If these are Mpeg2 files then The best and fastest way to encode them is useing DVD2AVI to make a D2V file out of the Mpeg2 file then encodeing that..I have no problems loading Mpeg2 files into Tmpgenc But I still Use DVD2AVI to frame serve them Cuz it is a much better Mpeg2 decoder...Sometimes De-Muxing the Mpeg2 file and Just loading in the M2V file works..You don"t need to encode the audio anyways Cuz it is allready in the Correct format for VCD/SVCD/DVD and encodeing it again will just degrade the quality and in some cases can Cause Sync problems...

I've been having the same sort of problem .. but I get 'Read Error Occured'! Check out my thread on the next page called "Read Error Occured ..." . I have just tried the Panasonic MPEG 1 encoder, and that seemed to work fine!!

Are you using Win XP?
Are you using Nimo codec pack? And it is the latest one?
If the second condition is true, then here is your problem.
In that case you will need to get back to pack 4 or 5.
it will fix it.

Dude, if this works, I love you, I'm downloading Nimo 50build8 bundle. I have Win XP and I get that stupid error too. Will that version on Nimo work?

AdonisXX  2002-12-14 19:15:56 ( ID:nikgot0jusn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I use dvd2avi, smart ripper and Tmpgenc to back up copies of my DVDÃÔ. I donÃÕ have any Problems with the DVDÃÔ that have a frame rate of E9.97Ebut when itÃÔ E3.976Ethere is Problems with the audio on the finished product is there any way to change the frame
rate on the DVD to 29.97 ??

Thanks in advance guys!!


ASHY  2002-12-14 20:33:03 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What sort of audio problem are you having?

What do you mean 23.976? There are no DVD's which are 23.976. All NTSC DVD's playback at a rate of 29.97 fps.

The only way you will end up with a DVD which is 23.976 is if you have used the ForcedFILM option in DVD2AVI.

This removes what is called telecining from the DVD and returns a 29.97 fps interlaced DVD to it's original 23.976 fps progressive frames.
This should not affect the audio in any, but DVD2AVI has been known to create out of sync audio files.


Switch off the audio option in DVD2AVI then use a program called VOB2AUDIO to rip the audio from your VOB files to a wav then use that as your audio source for TMPG.

Doing it this way is more accurate and yeilds better results than using DVD2AVI to rip the audio.

Hi, Ashy, I have a DVD titled 'momie dearest' and when i run it through dvd2avi the frame is 23.976 and the audio problems i am having is during play back of the back uped dvd the sound/audio is just in and out-sound plays for a second then there is no sound-does this through out play back. and as far as the forced film feauture it doest show up in the static window and i dont think that i am using that feature because i cant find it in dvd2avi anywhere-unless i am over looking it. i WILL TRY VOB2AUDIO thanks Ashy!


ASHY  2002-12-14 22:19:57 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I see it now Ashy-force film was not checked-none was checked-so i checked swap field order and ran the dvd through dvd2avi without audio-which i will do with vob2audio-it did change the frame rate to 29.97:) thanks ashy for your help your great!


minion  2002-12-14 23:24:44 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It is Phisicly Impossible to Have a DVD with a Frame rate of 23.9fps..It just Is not Part of the DVD Standard and if it did have that frame rate it would not play in your DVD Player...So somewere down the Line something is going wrong...The only way DVD2AVI will report a Frame rate of 23.9fps is if the "Forced Film" is Enabled....Ripping the Audio with "VOB2Audio" will Not make the Movie 29.9fps But it might rip the audio so that is in Better sync with the Video..I personally haven"t had sync issues Atributed to DVD2AVI But it has Happened with others...


wcpaul  2002-12-15 04:14:45 ( ID:ur5w0ckjg4c )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

A program I just found on doom9.org called PULLDOWN.EXE will convert 23.976 video streams to 29.97 by inserting repeat field flags.

I have not tried authoring with the result yet but passing through DVD2AVI seems to indicate that it works.

You have to demux/mux to run through this program.



Question - Newbie Question, Premeire files not reading in TMPGEnc No.31893
Brian  2002-12-14 19:12:12 ( ID:m.hq4vlgtv2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, I'm new to this, so plese be patient. I am trying to import completed AVI files from Premiere 6.0 (meaning the video has been edited, with transitions, etc). TMPGEnc says this type of file is unsupported. However, if I have raw footage from my Sony PD150, that I have not done any editing on, that is taken fine my TMPGEnc. Am I able at all to import the finished Premiere files into TMPGEnc? I have MYDVD, and the transcoding on that it terrible, especially with movement.
Thanks for any help


minion  2002-12-14 23:17:03 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Have you tried to raise the "Direct Show File Reader"????Go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "Direct Show" to "2"....this should work..


Mike M  2002-12-16 03:11:59 ( ID:bgay61ngau2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I had to export my movie from premier to Microsoft DV AVI. Then TMPGEnc would read it. It would not read the Pinnical DV format that I captured everything in.

Question - MPEG 2 Multichannel Audio No.31887
Murphy Prdel  2002-12-14 17:17:07 ( ID:rllyh8snka6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Will you add feature to produce MPEG 2 Multichannel Audio (coded from AC3 or separate WAVs) please? SVCD supports this (5.1 sound) and I want to make such SVCDs. In addition, SVCD supports more (up to 4?) sound tracks and subtitles. What about this feature?


ASHY  2002-12-14 22:06:38 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You seem to be under a misconception.
SVCD can support up to 4 channels of mono audio or 2 stereo tracks.
To add these extra tracks to your SVCD you would use the multiplexer in the MPEGtools to multiplex the tracks to your MPEG.
You cannot encode 2 audio tracks at once and don't know of any encoder that can.

As for MPEG 5.1 audio. This is hard to implement and complicated to create and is really beyond the scope of a general pupose encoder to produce such files which aren't fully supported by DVD players anyway and will probably have problems with playback.

If you want to have a go ReMPEG can apparantly transcode Vob files or AC3 files to 5.1 MPEG audio or you can use this program.

Your Player Will In Most likelyhood NOT Play Mpeg5.1 audio, the Players that do support this will have a "Mpeg5.1" Logo on the DVD Player....



Question - Vertical color bleed No.31882
Mike M  2002-12-14 16:26:20 ( ID:bgay61ngau2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have tried many different settings and even though I have found settings that have a minimum of motion artifacts, I always seem to get a vertical color bleed on color edges. I've tried it on 3 different DVD players and they all show the same problem so it's not the DVD player. It does not seem to be related to interlacing, as it is not a horizontal effect. It looks more like an encoding problem.

I have tried the settings found here http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0165394101/TMPGEnc_Template.html
And did not like them at all...too many motion artifacts. I have been going with CQ of 100 and a bitrate of 8000

Here are screen shots of what I'm talking about:
http://64.239.100.203/video/ss1.jpg
Its hard to see on such a small picture and it looks worse on a regular TV, but look at the transition from his shirt collar to neck. There are vertical 'smears' of the blue and skin tone.

http://64.239.100.203/video/ss2.jpg
There is a vertical line right through the edge of the subjects face.

It seems more noticable when it's playing then when looking at still shots.

All source material is miniDV.

Any help would be appreciated...trying to gove this a a Christmas present.

TIA,
Mike


Mike M  2002-12-14 16:39:53 ( ID:bgay61ngau2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Here is a third screen shot.
http://64.239.100.203/video/ss3.jpg

Its a blow up of the first. You can see the bleed on the collar. Also look at the skin tone bleeding off his ear into the green background on the right.

Is this something to do with the Quantize Matrix settings?

minion  2002-12-14 23:11:10 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I don"t know what it could be caused By but sometimes little problems like this can be solved By reaiseing the Priority of the "Direct Show File Reader" in the "VFAPI Plugins".....there are a Lot of settings in the "Advanced Settings" that help with color correction so maybe you can fiddle with them...?


Mike M  2002-12-15 07:00:29 ( ID:bgay61ngau2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks. I rasied it from -1 to 2 and it did help some, but it's still not that great. Going any higher didnt have any effect.

I took one 30 second video clip and encoded it multiple times with different settings so I could compare them all.

A lot of people seem to like the 2 pass VBR, and while it makes smaller files, I do not like the video it makes. CQ at 100 handles motion much better.

I've tried playing with just about all the settings and cant get the bleed to go away. I'm just about to give up...

-Mike


minion  2002-12-15 07:17:13 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well Maybe you should try a Different Mpeg encoder...There are A Few others that give exelent Quality, a couple give even better than Tmpgenc But not many, if you e-mAIL me i can Sugest a Few that you should be pleased with...

hi, i want to ask you , how can i change avi files to mpg files?
when i download, it's avi, when i watch with window media player, it wont work, there are just only sound no screen......why is that?
please tell me


minion  2002-12-14 23:07:05 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Are you saying that you downloaded some AVI file But when you play them in "Media Player" there is no Picture But there is sound???Well first you have to make sure you have the correct Codecs installed on your system...And if you do have the right codecs and you still don"t see a Picture in the Downloaded AVI then the AVI File could be corrupted..To make an Mpeg out of a Good AVI file you Just load the file into tmpgenc and follow the directions that the "Wizard" gives you...If you have a specific Queastion about encodeing then Please Post it....



Request - Dual Xeon and hyperthreading - Tmpgenc sees just two processors!! No.31878
Ninja.rogue  2002-12-14 09:03:39 ( ID:len4cdzvgsl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have a dual Xeon system, XP professional, and have enabled hyperthreading.
Now I have four processors on my System properties.
But Tmpgenc 2.59 just sees two of them - not four - and I have indeed no advantage of using hyperthreading.
So why should new 2.59 be hyperthreading-aware?
I could be aware of it only for single processor machines?
Please, let me have your dual xeon impressions...

You CANT install Tmpgenc as a Plugin for Premier...What you can do is use the "Premier Video Server" or "AVISynth" to frame serve from Premier to Tmpgenc But Tmpgenc will not be a Plugin...You can learn about the Premier Video serve and AVISynth at : http://www.videotools.net/



Question - problem after installed wmp 9 No.31874
minikat  2002-12-14 05:45:11 ( ID:xgywmqavgcf )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPGEnc worked fine before I installed windows media player 9. Now, it cannot open window media format files anymore(MPEG-4 Video Codec is ok). Why?


minion  2002-12-14 07:32:14 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

WHY??? Because Media Player Sucks the Big one, and Probably the only way you will might able to get it to work like Before you installed it is to do a "System Restor" to Before you installed Media Player 9...Your WMV Files are probably encoded with WM7 or WM8 and the New Media Player installs the WM9 codecs....



Question - Is an SVCD supposed to be 480 X 480? No.31872
InoMan  2002-12-14 05:44:02 ( ID:colabmgzrcj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, I was about to create an SVCD, but before I started converting the file from AVI, I noticed that TMPGEnc defaults the resolution to 480 X 480 on its SVCD template. Will this fit my tv screen properly without everything being stretched?

Thanks


minion  2002-12-14 07:29:02 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The Standard Resolution for NTSC SVCD is 480+480...It should look Pretty Close to the source File as Long as you have the "Video Arange Setting" set to "Fullscreen(Keep Aspect Ratio)"...and Depending on the Source file"s resolution and aspect ratio there Might be Black Borders on the Top and Bottom..You can Also customize the Way the Image looks in the Frame By Useing the "Clip Frame" settings....
