TMPGEnc 2.5 (Free or plus version) BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
Hi again, I converted an avi file to mpeg1-vcd with tmpgenc 2.5. it plays fine on my pc but when I play it on my stand alone dvd player the sound is out of synch. I used VCDEasy to burn the VCD. Any suggestions? Thanks
Actually I have the same problem, but I haven't tried it on my DVD player yet.
TMPGEnc has nice features and I was thinking about purchasing it, but it creates that problem.
My files .avi work perfectly, but when I convert them in MPG I lose the sync. I haven't wasted yet the time to burn the VCD or SVCD (coz both create gap in sync)since I used 3 or 4 DVD players on computer and with all I have the same sync problem.
I use VCDeasy too to burn.
The players name is : RCA It plays, DVD, VCD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3.
I hope this helps. The synch is not out when the conversion takes place, only when I play it on the player. On the computer is fine.
Thanks
i dont know if this will help but run the avi through virtuadub first i capture video with my tv wonder ve and when i convert it with tmpgenc without virtuadub someties the audio gets out of whack(this is cause because of frame loss with the tv wonder). you might want to try a real vcd and see if it does it too if it does it then its your dvd player
Many times sync Problem are atributed to the Fact that AVI files sometimes dont run at the Framerate that they specify. Say your File says that it is a 23.97fps file But in reality it could play at 29.95fps so when it is encoded to a True 23.97fps it goes out of sync....
If the VCD plays fine on your PC then it is obviously your DVD player which is causing the problem.
I have a similar problem with my player where all MPEGs are in sync on the PC but are out of sync when played on the DVD player.
This I have found to be a combined fault of the burning software and the DVD player.
For some reason certain players don't like some of the files created by some burning programs for VCD or SVCD.
Nero and VCDeasy both create these files and cause this problem and so do many others, but all of these files are not required by your player to play the VCD/SVCD.
There is only one burning program I know of that can solve this problem as it doesn't burn these problem files to the disk.
The program is called VOB Instant CD/DVD. Give it as try it may solve your problem.
Specifically, the problem of playing in sync on the PC and out of synch on stand-alone's is, in my meager experience, the authoring software. Try authoring to title-sets (not burning to disk), then checking the last VOB file in PowerDVD to make sure it's in sync. Note that I'm suggesting that a file that PowerDVD thinks is in sync goes out of sync once it is authored. It's as if TMPGEnc doesn't adjust whatever timestamps that authorware uses but PC-hosted viewers ignore.
I am trying to convert captured avi's into small MPEG1's for web broadcast. The host website requires the format to be MPEG1. How can I change the resolution size and frame rate to decrease the mpg file size? I have tried everything I can in TMPGE, VirtualDub, and Premiere 6.01. The VCD standards are producing too large of files (2 minutes of video is 18MB). Thank you.
I have some AVI files and want to convert it into MPEG2. I have tried several external audio encode tools including toolame and SCMPX, but the sound quality of the MPEG2 file is worse than the AVI file. What's the matter? Is there any way to improve the sound quality?
Make sure you are using the highest possible bitrate.
Listening to live music captured from an HDTV receiver through good headphones, it is possible to detect a slight loss with layer II. But it is just a VERY subtle loss of ambiance. In this case, I author a DVD with audio coming from a WAV file extracted from captured AVI.
If you are noticing a problem on PC speakers and/or the material is less demanding than live music, there might be something else wrong.
i was using the program to split avi movie files with no problem now that my computer has been reformatted when i redownloaded this program when the avi files were converting to mpg files i lost all audio i was told i need a mpeg2 codec is this true if so do you know where i can get it?
It would not be a Mpeg2 codec if you don"t have audio, the problem is Probably the audio format in the avi files, extract the audio to wav and use the wav audio as the audio source...
i am having constant problems encoding mpeg2s from avi files.
it seems rather random. sometimes it will encode files fine, and other times it will crash with a floating point error or a 'ntdll.dll' error with the exact same encoding settings as before.
sometimes vbr audio in the avis caused problems so i extracted the video only using vdub, and still the same randomness occurs. ive managed to encode 1/2 of quite a few movies (only either the first or second 1/2 will encode), both 1/2s using the same video codecs, and me using the same mpeg2 encoding settings but i just cant find a reason for it.
If these File were downloaded off the net then that is Probably the Problem..Downloaded files are usually Corrupted in some way and the errors you are getting are usually due to a Problem with the file you are encodeing...
well just recently it hasnt been limited to just encoding...
i get runtime errors and ntdll.dll errors just from opening dialog boxes sometimes... it all seems rather random and not having anything to do with the file itself.
today i ran a 2 pass encode over a divx avi file and it crashed without an error message... and just disappeared. then i reloaded tmpgenc and tweaked a few of the settings... and it started running the first pass... then gave me a floating point error as soon as it started writing the output file on the second pass... which was after 3 hrs and rather infuriating.
is it only XP users that are getting these constant errors? i would like to know if any NT or 98 users get these random crashes.
if there is any solution that someone has found then please let me know.
im using a toshiba satellite 5205 notebook. standard specs. with winxp sp1. so i doubt its the hardware... i wouldnt put it past microsoft to botch things up though :)
I use Tmpgenc on a Daily basis and I run XP on my P-4 1.7ghz and XP Pro on my 800mhz and Haven"t gotten a Floating Point error since I stopped useing Downloaded files..You Might be able to Minimize these errors if you tried Frameserveing the Files to Tmpgenc with AVISYnth or V-Dub..95% of the Time when Poeple Post problems with getting these errors they are Encodeing DivX/XviD files that they downloaded off Kazaa or some other P2P network..I encode Captured AVI files and D2V files from DVD Rips and Have Never Had any sort of error, I have Had Lots of Problems but they had Nothing to do with Tmpgenc .....
tried to frameserve... but it doesnt seem to want to work.
i think this is most definitely my fault though :p i know this isnt a vdub forum so i dont expect you to tell me exactly how to do it... but im trying to use an aviproxy and it just freezes when i open it in tmpgenc.
ill try avisynth and then if i still have no luck ill find a faq or something... thanks for your help.
have Windows XP Pro and TMPGENC 2.510 loaded and all required codecs. I am not running windows media player 9.Getting error message file unsupported.files play in media player, and encode in other demo encoders.cannot raise priority of direct show mutimedia file reader to 2 as programme crashes, can anyone help please.
I have been using the free version for some time. I registered and installed TMPGEnc Plus 2.510 and now my mpg2 videos and coming out very shaky and blurred. I am using the same settings as before and even the same avi. Please help.

I'm stuck with this error on my computer when attempting to encode a movie. I have this program on one machine and it works perfect, but on this machine I get the error message "cannot open, or unsupported". I am able to encode audio. I thought maybe MediaPlayer 9 might be the issue from reading other issues other people had, but I have this version on my other machine as well. I tried encoding the same files on the other machine and they work. I compared the settings and they both look the same. I tried a small video clip and it encoded but movies won't. Now, this machine is running Windows XP Professional. The other is running Win98 SE. Any suggestions???
I"m sure that since you looked around you also tried Raiseing the Priority of the "Direct Show File Reader" to 2..This is the Only thing besides Knot haveing the Right codecs that I can think of...
Had exactly the same prob. just installed nimo codec pack build 8 works great now. give it a whirl it might work for you to. P.S cant get to work with media player 9 might be worth reverting to earlier version,good luck
