Hey, Can um help me? Im having trouble converting avi to mpg! Every time i convert the sound goes out of sync!! Ive changed the audio gap but that doesnt help!! It stays in sync for the first 5mins then goes outa sync again! Ive checked the files that im converting from and they are in perfect sync the whole way through! So the only conclusion i can come to is that TMPGEnc is causeing the problems! Can some1 help me to fix this please???
chears
Well the Problem could be that there is a Glitch in the avi file at a certain Point that is causeing it to go out of sync..Or , what is common with some files is that the avi file wil actually Play at a slightly slower of faster speed that the reported Frame rate while in AVI format but once encoded to an exact frame rate the audio becomes a Different length causeing it to go out of sync, this is a Problem with the avi file, what you can try is if the audio is out of sync then that means that the audio is Probably a different length than the Mpeg video so you might need to Stretch or shrink the audio to the exact length of the video with an audio editing program like "Sound Forge" or "Cool Edit" but this can be quite tricky...
I had the same problem with my AVI-files in Adobe Premiere. The solution was to export sound in a .wav, to shrink it with Cool Edit and afterwards to replace the original sound by the shinked .wav. Then I converted it with my VideoServer-pluging and Tmpgenc. The result was perfect.
I also have had this problem, you go on about cool edit, but how do you know how much shrink the audio file, is there some web site with a tutorial that shows you how to do this.

Do the sizes of the converted file mean anything? Because a VCD, SVCD, DVD, etc. all have different sizes. If I make a 480x480 VCD, would it automatically resize to fit on the TV?
This all depends on Your DVD Player ...It Might or Might not You just have to try it..Generally if you player supports SVCD then you can Probably make a VCD with SVCD resolution But what would be the point..You Should Just give it a Try..
In the past, I did make an SVCD, but it came out trashed on the DVD player. Instead of saying something like "VCD 2.0" on the screen when I inserted a VCD, it shows folders like "cdi", "mpeg2", etc. I forgot what all the folders were but those 2 were there. And to play the SVCD, you had to go to the "mpeg2" folder and click on the MPEG file in there. And then the video comes on trashed. I checked the DVD Player Compatibilty at VCDhelp.com and read the reviews, people say my DVD PLayer supports SVCD, but another review said it doesn't. WHich one should I believe/!
It Probably doesn"t Support VCD But some poeple have been able to get it to work ....If your Player did Play them then it would Just play as soon as you put the disk in it...
To answer the original question, yes, the size does mean something, but not what you are used to.
You're used to the "pixel" specification of computer equipment, but TVs work with "lines". Think of the TV display as being part digital (with 480 (NTSC) or 576 (PAL) lines) and part analogue (with each line varying in colour and intensity along it). This is very simplified, but it'll do for now.
The DVD and SVCD spec has 480 or 576 vertical lines - one-to-one mapped to the TV display. VCD has 240 or 288 - half the vertical resolution, hence lower quality.
Horizontally, the data is spread out along each line. On a widescreen TV, flags in the file tell the TV whether to spread out the data across the full width or a part of it.
The more pixels there are to spread along that line, the higher quality picture you'll get. Obviously, if you're spreading them across a full 16:9 picture, you'll need more to maintain the quality. VCD has 352, SVCD has 480 and DVD has 720.
Mpeg is not a Format for makeing Files smaller it is Generally Just for makeing file into a format that can be played on a DVD Player in VCD/SVCD/DVD Format..If all you want is to Make Files smaller then your File is Probably allready in that format Right now which is Probably Mpeg-4/DivX, the only other format that Might give you a Smaller file size is Windows Media format But the Quality will Get Much Lower as a Result....
No, Don"t use that Resolution, That resolution will look wierd and it is To large for the Bitrate you are useing, use 352+240 or Lower and 1150kbs is as low as you can go in this Version Cuz it has a Bug in it..But the File will be Bigger than it is Right now, at 1150kbs the File will be 10mb per minute of Video so a 90 minute movie will be about 900mb ,But there is no use useing Mpeg as a compression unless you are makeing VCD"s, SVCD"s or DVD"s if you Just want to make a file smaller use Windows media Encoder and it will give you a Smaller file size in WMV Format...
I've read and re-read guides on altering the bitrates both CBR and VBR. Yet the output mpg files are comming out the same length. The image quality reflects the decreases in BR, yet my files are comming out the same length. Either Im doing something wrong, or you cant decrease BR to fit a movie onto a single CD.
I have been looking, havent found it yet, but I am assuming that since you didnt say "cant be done" it is possible. Can you atleast confirm that it is doable, im just doing it wrong.
Anyone have any info on media player 9? Any Negatives?
I'm wondering whether it's worth installing on my xp system. I know that there's no way to uninstall it other than use system restore points, but what else?
If you Install Media Player 9 It could be the Biggest Mistake you ever make ,Media Player 9 Has Had really bad reactions with Certain Codecs on your System and Tmpgenc Might stop working and Certain Files types might stop working on your System..There have been Many Posts about reactions with Media Player 9 and Tmpgenc and other video Programs so I would sugest Not Installing it ....
I also found that Media Player 9 contains spyware which monitors what copyrighted material you play. However, I'm not exectly sure what is done with the info. I'm still searching for more on the subject. I'll post back when I get details.
Looks like Bill is at it again. I'm not surprised.
Hi,
i wanted to convert an avi to a mpeg file. the avi works fine and i can hear the sound, but there is no sound in the converted mpeg. i tried some options with no success.
is it possible to copy a dvd to a cd, using lower bit rate, but keep same file format? my dvd player doesnt play vcds etc (never will i think)+ i have a few film on pc in divx + avi i would like to play on tv.
No ..You can"t Burn a file on a CD-R in DVD Format in an Attempt to play it on your DVD Player..Well you can But your Player will not play it ,The Format is called Mini DVD and Very Very Few Players will actually Play them and If your Player doesn"t support VCD"s or SVCD"s then I doubt that your Play supports Reading Video data from a CD-R...You should Maybe think of Getting a different DVD Player, you can get one that Plays VCD"s and SVCD"s for Under $99 canadian..
Here anyone having problems with these new xvids and ac3 audio's try these settings. Converted a good austin powers 3 and it was fine on vcd, not sure if that had ac3 tho. A lot easier than trying to re-encode the xvid to another avi formatt, plus when extracting ac3 sound to wav through virtual dub for die another day, it was very sketchy and jumped every few seconds. Havent tried converting die another day yet cos need to redownload but should be ok.
Just change the priorities as follows in your TMPGEnc->Options->Environmental Settings->VFAPI plug-in:
What do you think Tmpgenc Is For???? Why don"t you Post what your Problem is and Maybe we can help, or you can check out this site " http://www.vcdhelp.com/ "...
Yes..there are a Couple of Ways to try to do this..First you can try setting the "Video Arrange Method" to "Fullscreen Keep aspect Ratio" or you Can use the "Clip Frame" settings in the "Advanced settings" to remove the Black Bars on the top and bottom...
I find it impossible to convert xvid files with tmpeg.i can load the file and select where to splt it but then tmpeg just freezes,and will no longer operate without rebooting. i have spoken to friends who have the same problem.
