Bug report - Merge & Cut from the middle to the end cuts _behind_ I frame No.40459
Setsunaaa  2004-01-07 20:14:52 ( ID:jdmp7akwttc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Use any (valid) mpeg1 video, like those you can create with tmpgenc.
If you use mpeg tools merge&cut and cut from the middle of a mpeg file to the end tmpgenc does the starting cut right behind the I frame, there is no way to prevent this. I hoped this Bug would "go away on it's own", but it is in there since v 2.2 what I started with.

The resulting mpg should include the I frame, not exclude.

Suggestion: Please add an option to set the frame number instead of the time to do cut & paste, show whether the start of the cut is I/B/P frame. A frame-numbered cut is better to handle than just hangin' round on the time scale.

The Merge & Cut can Only Cut one way and that is on an I frame so no matter were you set the cut it will allways jump to the Closest I frame and it should Include that I frame ....


Setsunaaa  2004-01-08 19:08:29 ( ID:jdmp7akwttc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Do it, cut an mpg from the middle to the end. Play it. You will see artifacts because tmpgenc does not cut it right. Load the file again in an editor (virtualdub will do it) and it will start with an B frame instead of an I frame.

Do it, and THEN tell me whether it is impossible or not.

ashy  2004-01-08 21:27:33 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm sorry to disagree, but minion is correct. I have just done as you asked four times with four different files both MPEG1 and MPEG2 and every one begins with an I-frame in Virtualdub and no artifacts whatsoever.

You are either using a corrupt MPEG or you are not clicking the correct button before making the cut.


ashy  2004-01-08 22:14:02 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have just managed to produce the error you are talking about. When viewing in Virtualdub the MPEG starts from the 2 last B-frames of the previous GOP.

Upon further testing it seems it could be a Virtualdub bug or only Virtualdub which is able to produce it.
No player software shows the corruption caused by the 2 rogue B-frames only Virtualdub.

Also I have several programs which will allow me to see the frame the MPEG starts from and all start with an I-frame and show no corruption.

You can download a more accurate I-frame cutter from the link below.
It is a TMPG compatible MPEG2 codec which comes with it's own MPEG cutter called MME.exe
http://www.marumo.ne.jp/mpeg2/

MME.exe also shows the starting frame as an I-frame, the 2 others I used which also confirm the first frame is an I-frame are ReMPEG and Bitrate viewer(full version)


Setsunaaa  2004-01-12 06:57:05 ( ID:jdmp7akwttc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well, I (allways) use IBBBBPBBBBPBBBB as GOP pattern which makes that bug much more visible (I tried it with standard too like you did).
With that pattern even windows-mplayer (or WinDVD or active movie) shows that artifacts with cutted mpeg1 video. With uncut (or just merged) videos everything is right.

Thank you for the link to the other cutter !

Setsunaaa  2004-01-12 07:15:59 ( ID:jdmp7akwttc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

mm2.exe tested, it cuts it right (even with my IBBBBPBBBBPBBBB), tmpgenc cuts it wrong. In that case mplayer/active movie simply jumed over the for 3/5 second instead of showing the artifacts as it does on other times, virtualdubg shows the frames. But 0.666 seconds of a fast-moving musicvideo it a lot.

I would call this now "worksforme" state since the other cutter does it right, but I hope this bug will be solved someday.

Again, big thank you for showing me the other cutter.

Is there a plugin to allow conversion of real files? At the moment I am using EO to convert to AVI and the directly using Nero, but I would prefer to use TMPGEnc.

Thanks

Kevin

NO.


B_Racer  2004-01-08 09:18:04 ( ID:0jd4rmr3tyn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

There are DirectShows-Filters available for RealVideo, but you can't use them directly in TMPGEnc. You have to use AVISynth as a Frameserver. Search on SourceForge or Doom9.org


mickyjuice  2004-01-08 14:30:20 ( ID:zqigxf3uunk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

tmpgenc CANNOT convert any 'shite' real media formats

tmpgenc CAN covert the avi file you created with EO, seeing its not real anymore

I have the Divx codec (the latest one) but when i try to convert an AVI file it says usuported, I even bought the DivX pro codec but that did not work either. Any suggestions.

BTW: Im sure that it is the DivX codec i need

Thx

Download and install FFDSHOW, configure it to decode all MPEG4 codecs. Then in the VFAPI plugins in Enviromental settings change the priority of the Directshow reader to 2


mickyjuice  2004-01-08 13:49:31 ( ID:zqigxf3uunk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

if ur not sure what codec u need d/l a prog called 'gspot codec information'
dont know the site do a google search

Question - TMPGEnc terminated after encoding No.40443
michael  2004-01-06 18:37:08 ( ID:6arp1tka7gj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello,

Anyone know why TMPGEnc 2.521 automatically terminates after encoding an AVI file into MPEG2 (system stream Video+Audio)? I did this in the lower part of the main window (not via the wizard)? Once the encoding is done, the program exited. Is this a bug or feature?

Thanks

--Michael


Video Guy  2004-01-06 18:42:56 ( ID:4yfrh0hqv72 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPGEnc "crashed".

This seems like codec problem.

If the avi is Divx or Xvid try installing ffdshow and use it to decode you files.

If the avi is DV type 1, try frameserving with AviSynth.

If your source has vbr mp3 audio try converting the audio to a wav using something like VirtualDub.

if ur video encodes is it really that much to worry about?

newbie  2004-01-06 17:38:52 ( ID:m7uqxzxdquh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

wnen demuxing a set of vobs (within mpeg tools) is there a way of selecting more than one file at a time?
if not, is it possible to write a script of some sort to batch process a number of files?


Video Guy  2004-01-06 18:31:58 ( ID:4yfrh0hqv72 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPGEnc does not support batch demuxing.

ashy  2004-01-06 18:57:03 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Why would you want to batch demux a set of VOB files? I can't see no reason for it.


Minion  2004-01-06 22:47:10 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When you Ripped the Vob files off the DVD you should have Demuxed the audio Tracks then and Killed 2 Birds with One stone...Programs Like Smartripper and DVD Decryptor have the Option to extract the Vob files as seperate AC3 and M2V files and even as a Single Long Movie instead of a Bunch of 1gb VOB files...


ashy  2004-01-06 23:10:47 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If you wish to demux the complete set of vobs into seperate components I.E. .m2v, Ac3 and subs the you can use Vobedit to do this.

No. You can't use TMPGEnc to bypass the DRM. You have to legally own the WMV clip in order to watch it (meaning you have to have the license registered to your computer). DRM is very restricting.

Load file into merge and cut. Select type of file, double click it then set cut points. Exit and save.

Request - TMPGEnc Plus should includes a tool to fix slightly corrupted or damaged mpeg file No.40422

It would nice if TMPGEnc Plus include a tool to fix damaged mpeg file.


ashy  2004-01-06 17:30:55 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Why? TMPG doesn't support any other MPEG files, apart from it's own, which should not be corrupted.


xcool  2004-01-06 20:31:36 ( ID:so4dxbw2pjo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I thought MPEG file is MPEG standard file. Are you implied that TMPG has its own standard/variance?

If "TMPG doesn't support any other MPEG files", then a nice feature would be to include a MPEG tool to make 'other MPEG files' TMPG MPEG compliant, so that TMPGEnc Plus or DVD Author would not reject 'other MPEG files'


Minion  2004-01-06 22:57:34 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yes, Tmpgenc encoded Files are a Little Bit differant than some others ,Actually a Lot of encoders have a Little Bit different way of compileing the File that make it structurally different than other Mpeg files..Some Programs notice this Too Like when Burning a VCD made by tmpgenc with VCDEasy ,VCDEasy will Give an Error and then say that that it is OK because it is Just as sign that the File was encoded by tmpgenc..There is actually a Little utility out there(I don"t remember what it is called) that can actually analize a Mpeg file and tell you what encoder created the File....
The Only way to actually Fix Corrupted Frames in a Mpeg files is to remove the Frame which can cause Other Problems like Sync problems and Jumpy Playback ,If the error in the File is Just audio or Video PTS Time code errors or non compliant Gop structure then that can be fixed useing a tool like the "Gop Fixer" in "Mpeg2VCR"....Cheers

Question - File not vcd ready after splitting No.40417
nycemsmedic  2004-01-06 06:31:22 ( ID:eddxhltt4kc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi everyone, question...........when i convert avi to mpeg (ntsc)the file comes out perfect. Im using a LG cd burner to burn the cd with Roxio 5 software, so i must split the file. Im using avi-mpeg-asf-wmv splitter. here is the problem....... after i split the file(usually in two equal parts) the file has a break point in it. Roxios software keeps hitting me with errors............file is not vcd compliant, and in the window that tells you about the mpeg, the audio is not being read correctly on the second half of the two files, and when i burn it anyway it doesnt play on my dvd player. when i re convert it to mpeg(even tho its still mpeg)its fine. i find this a waste of time, and was wondering if there is a workaround to correct this, or if im missing something? i love roxio for the other work i do with music, maby im not giving NERO a fair chance. ty dave


ashy  2004-01-06 17:36:22 ( ID:hywsrqzufqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

For a start of ROXIO is absolute crap and NERO beats it hands down for VCD/SVCD/DVD, but thats not the problem.

You can't use the program you have used for cutting VCD compliant files you will just end up with 2 ordinary MPEGs which are non compliant.

You must use TMPGs 'Merge and Cut' tool to cut VCD then select 'MPEG1 VCD' to add the correct VCD header to the MPEG and make it compliant.

Run your MPEGs through the simple multiplexer, rename the output and select the above setting then run. It should now burn without any problem.


Freddybigbaz  2004-01-06 17:40:46 ( ID:vix5lwzgkuj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You don't need a seperate program to split your file.You can do this in Tmpgenc.When setting up Tmpgenc to encode your avi to mpeg,use the Source Range function.With this,you can select the start and end points for each half of the film,and correct audio lag too.I don't use Nero,but I'm told the resulting files work fine.You could try VCD Easy to burn your discs too,it gives you some good options.Hope this helps.

when I convert a avi into a VCD and play it on my stand alone DVD player the movie messes up time to time for acouple seconds and the frames skip when there is high motion in the movie.. I tried converting the same movie with a differen't converter and had no problems.. only reason I don't use the other program is because I can't set the black bars..


Video Guy  2004-01-06 18:59:26 ( ID:4yfrh0hqv72 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Did you use the VCD template or your own custom settings?


Minion  2004-01-06 23:14:41 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Tmpgenc from tite to time has Problems with Bitrate controll so the Bitrate has a tendancy to spike and when this Happens you DVD player has to suddenly spin the Disk really fast so that it can read the sudden increased data rate which causes the Jump and skips in High Motion scenes..The only Way to get over this Problem is to Maybe not use a VBR encodeing Method or do not use a Higher than Standard Bitrate but even then it can still happen...If you even want to set the black bars and other aspects of the Image with other Encoders then learn how Frameserve useing AVISynth......



Question - Bright Sports (Starts?) No.40411
rickdaustin  2004-01-06 04:37:52 ( ID:bws3ijldqrj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have a strange problem that has occurred with TMPGEnc and the Premier Pro media encoder. I have a video that contains a few shots that have very bright reflections on either plates or silverware. The video is fine when the original AVI file is viewed. After being converted to MPEG the bright spots have a flickering star-like effect for a few seconds just as the scence appears. I've tried a number of settings in TMPGEnc based upon tips I've found but I can't seem to removed this flickers. I wonder if the reflections are so bright that after being encoded to MPEG they are causing a problem?

Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this? I could probably cut out a 4 - 10 second slice of the video to show what I mean if that would be helpful.


Minion  2004-01-06 23:26:25 ( ID:/d4nypdxsbj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The Flickering could Just be Artifacts from Interlaceing, in which case they would only be Viewable on your PC Monitor which isn"t meant to display Interlaced material were your TV set is ,I have a TV out Card hooked up to a 13 inch TV set so I can See what the Video will look like when Displayed on a Interlaced TV and Most Interlace artifacts totally disapear when Played on TV....You can try encodeing the Part in question and use the Deinterlace Filter and if the Problem disapears then you Know it was from being Interlaced and you won"t have to worry about it.......


rickdaustin  2004-01-07 00:45:49 ( ID:bws3ijldqrj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

After reading your message I decided to do a bit of checking by viewing the output through my external TV which is connected via my camera which is connected via firewire. As it turns out the original footage played from the timeline has the problem as well. I certainly feel like a blockhead (add to that my inability to correctly spell the words on my subject line (:<)). I can't tell you how much time I wasted thinking the problem popped up once the sequence was converted to MPEG.

Thanks for your reply since that nudged me back to looking at the source material. Lesson learned, make sure you know your source material, even the insignificant portions....
