When I use the Merge & Cut function to divide a large MPEG file into two, the first one comes out fine, but when I go the second part, an error message comes out "Illegal MPEG video stream". I try to change the Range for the second part but this message still pops out and stops the operation. Can the expert help me out? Thanks a lot!!!
Well there are no Magic settings in the "Merge & Cut" that will make it work Properly when it doesn"t want to so the Only other option is to use a Totally Different Mpeg editor as the One in Tmpgenc can be Pretty Buggy at times, If you are Editing Mpeg2 files there are a couple of freeware Mpeg2 editors Like "Chopper XP" and "Mpeg2Cut" but for mpeg1/VCD"s I can"t think of a Freeware one right now But I do have one I can send you if you e-mail me..
Hi Minion, manage to get all the files you suggested and things worked pretty fine. But then think a file's audio is sort of out of hand.
When i used ac3 fix and after the encoding is done. It says the file has error of -2bytes. So is there any remedy for it. Cos simple multiplex it through tmpegenc had some message stating the file will not play well.
One more problem is that, after going through ac3 fix, there is an error of -2 bytes. And after i encode it to mp2 using heachac3e, the mp2 file has no sound at all. Cos it is quite puzzling to me. So i wonder if the -2 bytes error that is costing the problem.

Make sure you have all the Correct Codecs installed, If you install the "FFDShow Decoder" it will Decode allmost all Formats so it is better to install it than a Bunch of codecs...And Make sure the "Direct Show File reader" is set to "1" or "2" in the "Vfapi Plugins"....
After I convert avi's using TMPGn and nero,I seem to be getting Still Imagaes roughly about every 20-30 seconds when i play on my dvd player the picture seems to Pause but the sounds seems to carry on fine. Then a sec later the picture and the sounds are normal and everything back together.
Well Maybe tell us the Specs of the AVI file you are encodeing and the settings you are useing to encode the file, and are you just Burning with Nero?? No encodeing with Nero??
It is simple ,Go to "File" to "Mpeg Tools" to "merge & Cut" and the Choose "Video-CD" from the DropDown menu, then Click "Edit" and then use the Slider and the Mark In and Mark Out buttons to Choose the Begining and end of each Part you want to save, and from here I"m sure you can Figure it out...
I want to convert a PAL formatted file to NTSC with DVFilm's Atlantis however I only have mpeg2 files and I need avi. I've tried DVD2AVI v.1.77.3 to try and get to avi however the quality is horrible. I'm not sure if it's a codec problem, setting problem or if im trying to create the impossible. I'm using the MPEG-4 Fast motion compressor to create the avi but the file comes out like garbage. Any suggestions? TIA
The Best way would be to Frame serve the Mpeg file to the "NTSC/Pal converter", But I"m pretty Sure that the "Atlantis DV Film Converter" will only accept DV Files and will only output DV Files and encodeing your AVI to DV will Totally Ruin the Quality of your Movie..You would be best to either Use an encoder Like "ProCoder" Cuz it can do Proper NTSC/Pal conversion directly to AVI or to Exelent Quality Mpeg1/2..Or if you know how to use "AVISynth" it can do it while Frameserveing..Other High end editing Programs can do it also like Premier and Vegas Video 4..But if Atlantis does accept Regular AVI files you can Use DVD2AVI to make a D2V project file out of the Mpeg file, then use the "VFAPI Converter" to Convert the D2V into a Dummy AVI file that you can load into Atlantis to convert to NTSC then you can use something like AVI-Mux to Mux the audio to the NTSC AVI file....
I am getting error message saying File"C:......filename.avi" can not open, or unspported.
This message is happening for many of my XviD files. I can see the movie using Media Player, but TMPEG doesn't recognise it. Is there something I missed for the installation.
Well First off you will Probably get an error while encodeing if you use the XviD codec to decode your file so you should install the "FFDShow Decoder" cuz Tmpgenc Likes this decoder better than the Actual XviD codec, and to get your Files Loaded into Tmpgenc go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct Show File Reader" to "1" or "2", this should get the Files loaded...
I have an DivX AVI which is 640x360 pixels. After loading this file on the second wizard screen TMPGEnc leaves the Aspect ratio at 1:1 (VGA). Isn't this wrong? 640x360 is 16:9 right? Is that why I'm supposed to set?
What exactly is it the aspect ratio off? There is no explanation and no help in the documentation.
Why would TMPGEnc even need me to set this? Why can't it work it out for itself?
No, 640+360 is 1:1 ,640+352 would be 16:9 , Well that is what My aspect ratio Calculator says and What Tmpgenc"s aspect ratio calculator is saying also..Tmpgenc will usually choose the Correct Source Aspect ratio, But on the Output aspect ratio you can set it to what ever you want But 4:3 would be best if you are watching on a Regular TV....
Version 2.512 no better than 2.511. It MAY hang after some time of encoding.
LED indicating HDD activitiy is permanently ON. Same problem as with 2.511.
I reverted to 2.510. Never had a problem with 2.510 and older.
Single P4/XP/512MB/80GB HD
I had this same problem. I'm using a P4 3.06 hyperthread 533Mhz FSB. What I found was when the program hanged, the task manager would show 1 cpu going to 0% while the other was still running 50-70%. If I disabled the hyperthreading in the environment settings, it worked OK. It also worked ok if I disabled both the SSE extentions. Finally, at least on one test so far, it seems disabling the pipline for mpeg encoding (top one of the 3 hyperthread options) would allow it to run OK with the SSE extentions enabled. Good thing is it doesn't seem to cause much (or any) performance hit.
Thanks for your post, I was beginning to worry about the hardware since it is a newly built system.
UPDATE: Found on my system that 2.512 seems sensitive to having any other applications running simultaneously, including solitaire. Also in the course of troubleshooting I had increased the task priority to high, but when I lowered it to normal the program hanged even with no other programs running. While I understand that its a good idea not to run other apps while encoding, the original problem happened while it was the only one running.
I found a copy of 2.510 and so far it has not hanged. I even tried running 3 instances of 2.510 simultaneously encoding files for DVD, windows media player playing an internet stream and solitaire for three hours with no problem.
I also had the hang problem with 2.511. It would be nice if older versions were available, I was lucky to find a copy of 2.510 another machine.
While 2.510 seems to have solved my encoding needs, it has done little to help my solitaire ;) (P4B 3.06 HT/1GB mem/200GB WD HDD)
I have this DivX .avi file and I want to convert it to PAL, MPEG file. I've VobSub installed and usually have subtitle files as .sub or .srt and can easily convert with TMPGEnc but today it doesnt convert. When I press start it says "The Error occured when ACM was initialized." I dunno what this means and why. Can someone help me?
ACM is the "Audio Compression Manager" which Probably means that there is a Problem with the Audio in the Source File, Probably a Format not supported By Tmpgenc..Try Useing something like AVI-Mux or V-Dub to extract the audio from the AVI file to WAV and use that as the audio source...
Well it looks like the Problem is in "VobSub", I guess you will have to try a Different method of adding subtitles...You can add subtitles With Virtual Dub and the "Subtitle Plugin" and Frameserve to Tmpgenc...If there is a Web site for Vobsub it might be good to Check out there site as Tmpgenc has nothing to do with VobSub....
The Audio format in your AVI file is Probably not supported By tmpgenc, You will have to Extract the audio from the AVI file to a WAV file and use the Wav file as the audio source in Tmpgenc, You can do this with Virtual Dub or AVI-Mux depending on the Format of the Audio in the AVI file...
I've been using TMPGEnc for a long time, this is the first time I've seen something like this. I'm converting an average quality MPG to NTSC VCD MPG.
When the conversion was complete, both files showed the same length (20 minutes) and had the same beginning and end scenes. BUT, the VCD file was smaller than the average quality original, making me suspicious. It turns out a huge chunk of the middle of the video was MISSING from the VCD version.
I checked in settings to confirm that I hadnt set TMPGEnc to only encode a certain time frame. Everything is fine there, it's set to encode the entire video.
