How do you format dixv avi files so that it's playable in a DVD, in that, when formating it doesn't shrink. My divx file is like a widescreen picture and when I format in shrink the file into a standard picture and that makes it look distorted.
When converting avi to Mpeg2 I always get artifacts (blockiness) on dark scenes when played on PAL tv - It looks like the film is being viewed from behind a dirty glass filter (my tv screen is clean!!). THis does not happen in brightly lit scenes where the quality is awesome. PS I always encode with CBR and motion serach precision set to highest quality. ANy help with solving would be greatly appreciated - manyTIA
Your minimum bitrate is probably too low.
Increase the minimum bitrate until the effect disappears.
What bitrates and encoding method are you using?
Also do not use the 'highest quality' setting. It has no beneficial effect whatsoever apart from extending the encoding time considerably, use the 'high' setting.
All of the sudden TMPGEnc will not work. I have the free version and the registered Plus version, both of which I get the same message when attempting to convert an .avi file to .mpg - "c:my documentsmoviesexample.mpg can not be created". Does not tell me why though, that is all it says. I have never had this problem before and I am unaware of any environmental changes made to my pc. It is happening with any .avi file I attempt to encode. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I deleted the .ini file as suggested and when I started TMPGEnc back up and attempted to encode a file, I got the same message again. Anymore suggestions?
Hey guys, Sorry if this was already posted but I tryed looken for an awencer and found nothing. I recently got a tv tuner card and have been recording some shows. But when I try to cut the comercials out the sound is about 3 seconds off sync. I'm using MPEG-2 codec for video and MPEG-2 Audio Layer-II for audio. I'm pretty newbish to this stuff. Any help is much apprechated. Thanks for your time guys,
What is your source, AVI or MPEG.
If it's AVI then you can add subs in the normal way with Virtualdub and then frame serve to TMPG.
If the source is MPEG then use Virtualdubmod as B_racer suggests and frame serve to TMPG.
However if the intended output is DVD then you could just author in the subs.
I have an AVI where the audio is really bad. The source was like this too. The sound is really muffled. Is there any way to make it better? Here are the specs of the audio in terms of GSpot:
And I have another question about converting the video to MPEG-2 for DVD. The resolution is: 608x464 (1.31:1) [~13:10]
It is definitely supposed to be full screen. Should I use VAM Center, Full Screen, or Full Screen (Keep Aspect Ratio)? I really don't understand which to use in cases like these.
Maybe I should've asked at the Videohelp.com forums for the audio issue since it has no relation to TMPGEnc. But for some reason, Videohelp.com won't load for me (both of my computers) and yet it loads for other people. I'm wondering if my IP address got blocked by them or what but I don't remember doing anything bad at their forums. :(
My knowledge of TMPGenc is very very basic and so basically I will just load up a file and then convert it usually altering no settings at all. So my question is this, what settings should I edit to reduce the file size of an mpeg file (whilst still retaining decent audio and visual quality) and where are those settings located? If anyone has any advice about compressing the file as another format (although Im hoping only to work with mpegs and avi's) in other programs instead then that will be appreciated too.
HELLO GUYS
I am new and I need to transfer a 480 MB AVI file to DVD or to SVCD in order to burn it on DVD or CD. ?
Can anyone help with this > and how long should it take...it took me about 8 hours to encode it..Many thanks for all your tech help.

I have converted tons of DV material already but now I have a serious problem.
The source has lots of fast motion in it, and when I convert the source to mpeg2(doesn't matter which format) the picture is kind of jumpy, jerky and stuttering.
CCE is able to convert the DV source correctly, but I need the filters so I have to use Tmpgenc. Maybe I should try AVISynth
It looks like Tmpgenc removes to many information so fast movements are not smooth anymore.
Following settings:
DC component precision = 10
Motion search precision = Very Slow
Field order = Tried both
Filters = Deinterlace
Use floating point DCT = Tried both
Detects scene changes = On
I also have this problem with some Avi's and DivX's where it jitters every second or half second.. i have only used TMPGenc simply to convert avi>dvd or divx>dvd and have no experience in setting any other parameters... it mostly does what i ask it.. but i would dearly love to get rid of the jitter
