I'm trying to create an XVCD from a DVD (NTSC film) source with nonstop action. Even with stationary subjects, the camera is in constant motion. I'll be playing the XVCD on a Panasonic RV32 DVD player, which has a maximum data rate of about 2500 Kb/s for a CD-R/CD-RW source. What would be the best TMPGEnc settings to minimize motion artifacts? I'm willing to accept a standard VCD pixel resolution if necessary. The program only runs about 30 minutes so the final file size isn't too much of a consideration. Thanks in advance.
I've done some DivX to DVD-format conversions on my server (PIII-500, 256, W2K srv) without any problems. Now, to speed the process up a little, I want to do the same on my WKS (P4-1700, 512, Xp Pro).
When I try to do this I get "filename.avi can not open or unsupported."
Why? What shall I do to fix this? I can see the divX's on my Wks so I don't think it means that I don't have the right codecs installed.

Every time I try to use TMPGEnc with an audio track it crashes.
I have a ReplayTV 5040 and I have tried all quality files: standard, medium and high. The files play find in WinAmp or Microsoft Media Player or any number of other players.
It seems to be audio related because if I used DVD2AVI make a *.d2v file and .mpa file (which holds the audio I assume) I can load the .d2v file fine and encode anything and everything but once I load the .mpa file it crashes.
This same thing happens with if I use the MPEG tools in TMPGenc to break out the Audio track to a mp2 file and a m2v video fileEas soon as I tried to load the mp2 file it crashes.
Of course the mpg files from the ReplayTV had the audio embedded and they crash right off the bat when I tried to load them.
The crash is always that same ÅÆxception Floating-point invalid operationE. Exc0000090) occurred in the application at location 0x10005dd9E
Has anyone else seen this? I have say TMPGEnc works great with just the video part of the file but the audio I driving me nutsE
There could be an error in the audio header But why in the world would you be encodeing the Mpeg audio file anyways, The audio is allready in the correct format for Mpeg so just de-mux the mpeg file and just re-mux the audio with the encoded Mpeg file..Re-encodeing the audio will Just degrade the audio quality and Can cause Sync issues so You should NOT encode the audio if it is allready in Mpeg audio format...
Ok, so I had the P3package.dll problem as well. My problem was that I didnt extract all of the files into a new folder and I was just running the exact files that it downloaded. When you go to extract it, change the output directory so that it is in its own folder and not just the desktop. It should work then.
I have a file, "Orange.County.DVDRip.DivX-DOMiNiON.avi" which works just fine. However, when I attempt to convert it to MPG format, using TMPGEnc 2.59, the audio disappears......there is no audio stream visible when setting the source range, nor is there any sound on the completed conversion.
You should Maybe look through other posts to find your answer Cuz the answer has Been posted Many Many Times...The audio in the AVI file is probably AC3 or some other format which Tmpgenc can not decode..You need to decompress the audio to a WAV file with something like "AVI-Mux" or Virtual dub, then use the WAV file as the audio source....
when i load an avi to virtualdub a message saying " virtualdub has detected an improper vbr encoding in the source.....it may introduce up to 14128ms of skew from the video stream...". what does it mean? what should i do about it?
This means that the audio is "MP3 VBR"..and if you make a New file with it the audio will go out of sync...I think there is an option that will alow you to just change the header without changeing the actual Audio file...This is Probably more a Question for the Virtual Dub Forum....
just ignore that popup and rip the audio to a wav file from the file popdown menu and use tmpgenc to put the video and ripped audio together. always works for me.
I used someone's advicing on using AviMux to extract the audio last time. I left the preroll and interleaving settings at default(not at 100ms), the wav played fine on the computer but when burned onto a CDR, it gets kind of choppy on the TV. How can I correct this without re-converting? I just remembered that I forgot to multiplex the converted file so that it's a non-standard VCD. Would the audio get better if I went and multiplexed it?
Your post is unclear.
Are you saying you created the wav and it plays ok then used this as your audio source to convert to VCD?
What do you mean you forget to multiplex it without using then non-standard VCD setting? Why do you need to multiplex if you have used the wav as your audio source when you encoded.
Does the VCD play ok in the PC?
Either way it is unlikely that the audio is your problem. Once encoded the audio becomes a standard .mp2 file.
Your problem is more likely due to some other setting you have changed. What video bitrate are you using?

No, because I was unable to extract the WAV file in VDub for some reason, I used AviMux to extract the WAV file from the AVI file. I used the source AVI file as the Video Source in TMPGEnc and the WAV file as the Audio Source. MPEG Obession (on this board) said that the audio was AC3 so it couldn't be extracted in VDub. When extracted in AviMux, I used an Audio Preroll of 750ms and an Interleaving of 1000ms. After I finished converting with an average bitrate of 1596-kps at 2-pass, the MPEG1 file can be played with Windows Media Player without problem. The audio and video is in synch and at great quality! I was wondering if I needed to go multiplex the file to Non-Standard VCD because it doesn't use the standard VCD settings. After I burned it to VCD with Nero 5, on the TV, the audio becomes choppy. On the computer, it was fine!
If you are creating non standard VCD then you should ALWAYS use the 'Non standard setting' otherwise you may have problems. The muxing rate for standard VCD is not the same for higher bitarte MPEGs.
Re-mux your MPEG, but *DO NOT* use v2.59. Use an earlier version. v2.59 has a bug in it's muxer.
If the above does not work and the wav plays ok on it's own in media player and as a movie file in media player and not in your DVD player then I'm afraid there is only one reason for this.
The bitrate you are using cannot be handled by your player.
VCDhelp.com has a list of DVD players with Max bitrates they can handle.
