Just wondering is it possible to save the project before the encoding process is finished.... Say 10% through the encoding phase, close the computer down and return to the same location later.... I have tried it without any success, any help would be appreciated.... After opening a saved project the encoding process starts again from the beginning.... Thankyou to anyone who can help me out....

NO..Once you have started encodeing you Basicly have to wait till it is Done, you can"t save the Project part way through the encodeing to start up the next day were you left off..I don"t think Any encoder can do this...

I know one that can pause when ur encoding pretty useful too :)

Yes you can Pause the encodeing By Clicking "Stop" and when it asks you if you want to abort encodeing just Don"t answer .......

I've been making VCD backups of my DVD collection and I'm on Blade 2 right now. I've burnt all four cd's, but the last cd, number 4, has some problems. When I try watching it, the video will go black for a few seconds and then it'll show up again. The audio works when the video is out and the movie continues, only I can't tell what the hell is going on! CD's 1, 2 and 3 are fine, however. Any idea's?

Well if it is in Both the Disk and the Mpeg file you will have to encode that Part over again.......

can anyone tell me the best software to put mpeg to vcd i am currently using ulead is this a good program.sometimes the film crasses towars the end and im burning them on 4

I am trying to convert a .avi file into a .mpeg/vcd. But time after time Tmpgenc stops the encoding process after it finishes encoding 77% of the file and then it just stays on the same frame untill I force close Tmpgenc. I think that there may be some bad frames or something like that in my source .avi file if that is the case, how do I fix it?

Aaron.

There isn"t Much you can do to get it to Encode the whole file the whole way through if there are Corrupted frames But you can use the "Source Range" and set Tmpgenc to start encodeing another file a Few frames after were it freezes then join the 2 files Together with the Merge & Cut..

Can I convert a PAL avi or mpg file to NTSC with this software?

Tmpgenc is terrible at frame rate conversion, your better off using canopus procoder.

Procoder is Very Expensive and it is very hard to find a hacked version of it..But you can use AVISynth to do it,I had some Sync problems useing AVISynth to convert Pal to NTSC but it was easy enough to fix, and Some High Quality Editing Programs do NTSC/Pal conversions, Like Vegas Video 4 does Very high Quality conversions to Pretty much any Frame Rate format...

Hi....I'm getting an error message when I try to load a video file onto TMPEnc.
The error message reads: "TMPgenc has caused an error in the MP43DMOD.DLL and will now close, if this problem continues try restarting your computer.
I've restarted my computer, but it doesn't make any difference... can anyone suggest a solution..thanks in advance.

I too have been having a similar problem.

It will encode some files fine, and others it bombs with an illegle operation "TMPGENC caused an exception 10H in module MP43DMOD.DLL at 0167:073e5c5d."

It does it on all formats....please help!!!

After reading more posts on the bbs, I have figured it out. The problem is with Windows Media Player 9. I removed media player 9, went into the system files and deleted MP43DMOD.DLL, then went to the windows downloads and downloaded and installed media player 7.1 and it WORKS!!!!

when you use the cut and merge function, the audio misses for the last 32 seconds of the film.

even if you don´t cut/edit the mpg-file!

what could this be? and it´s a real bug, cause all users i talked to had the same problem.

The Merge & Cut is a Bit buggy at times and a Miriad problems seem to pop up, especially when cutting the second half of a File..I would sugest useing a Real Mpeg editor like "Womble Mpeg2VCR" to edit and Join files...

thanks alot for your answer. it´s a pitty that tmpgenc doesn´t work correctly, cause it would be the easiest and most comfortable way to edit .mpg´s.

can i do cuts with womble? example cut the first 5 seconds. it would be great if the program would just really cut, and not rerender or such a thin.

sorry for my bad english, but i am from austria. ;o)~~~

i have movies that i have downloaded that i want to burn onto a vcd disk. i have successfully burned many dvd's to vcd using dvd2avi. but when i select the downloaded movie file on the first part of the wizard screen, i get error message "file 'file.avi'can not open, or unsupported." i have installed both divx 3.11 and 5 codecs.

Try this, go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct show File Reader" to "2"..This should get the file loaded, But with DivX files you should make sure that Tmpgenc can read the audio cus you might need to extract the audio from the Divx files to WAV and useing that as the audio Before encodeing the file...

i upped the priority to 2, and still same problem.

im new to all this but can anyone tell me whats the best codecs to use for divx ,xvids please thanks for all replys

There is a Good Codec/Filter called "FFDShow" that is For "Decodeing" Mpeg-4 Type AVI Files like DivX and XviD and it works for other Formats as well, you can NOT use it For "Encodeing" files just to Decode files..You can get it here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53761&release_id=131530

thanks for your help i will try that and also does it matter if you have more than one encoder on ur pc and is ulead a good program to put the encoded mpeg onto vcd thanks again

You can have as Many Encoders on your Computer as you wish, I know I have Quite a Few, I have 4 versions of the same encoder with No Problems(I really should clean out my Drive) and Yes Some Ulead Programs are good For Authoring VCD"s and SVCD"s to CD-R but they aren"t good for encodeing to Mpeg..

i'm using dvdrip/dvd2avi/TMPGEnc to convert to svcd...when its finished i have a mpeg file..good quality...other vcd's i've seen have other files in it like EXT VCD MPEGAV SEGMENT...does this mean mine wont play on dvd/vcd players with just the mpeg file...how do i get the other files..Thanks for any help!!Show me the light!!

You need to use software such as Nero to burn the MPEG to VCD.

After ripping a dvd to svcd i found when playingback the 1st cd plays in 16:9 and i set tv to 16:9L but still has black borders top & bottom, but 2nd cd plays 16:9L and fills the sceen! 2nd one also has a lot off squeaks and judders. I burned @4x and set to 1400kbps to fit on disk, does svcd need to be higher, why does this happen? (using tmpgenc/vcdeasy/smart ripper/dvd2avi.)
Thanks.

What format is your TV 16:9 or 4:3?
Also not all movies are actually 16:9. The actual image part of a lot of 16:9 movies is in an even wider screen format and thus will have black borders top and bottom.
If your image looks correct without distortion then the only way to fill the screen with these anamorphic movies is to clip them.

What stream setting did you use when cutting these movies?

Your playback problem may likely be due to either too high burn speed, should use 4x or nearest, and/or cheap disks.

My TV is 16:9 but has 16:9L to stretch black borders( this does distort vid)
encoded at 1400kbps/16:9 Display / 25fps/ mpeg2. I Also noted that the audio 48khz encoded at 41 with vcdeasy and didn't see any option to keep the same rate, thus the audio is the same as VCD format(ie: quieter)
