hello.

I am using the trial version of DVD Author and it works great. However, I've run into a problem with some new DVD+R 4x media that I am using. The media is very high grade, but the TMPGEnc burner software is only recognizing the media as 2x. I've used other 4x media with no problem, so I'm not sure what to make of it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you certain it is 4x, which burner do you have?
Have you tried any other software such as NERO for buning?

you should try to get a dual format dvd burner. that way you can burn both + and - dvdr's. also, i have found out that -r's have a better tendency to run in dvd players. and as far as making vhs to dvds, roxio software seems to work ok, i haven't really used it for that, but i have used to make slideshows with background music. and you can also build a semi-decent menu.

the best software i can recommend requires a mac. final cut pro works great if you need to edit anything from the vhs after its in the computer. and dvd studio pro is awesome for menus and making a dvd.

hi when is it possible for a new button to be added to the batch encode so the following could be made possible

input all your mpegs of choice like normal
set a common output directory
and apply a common template to all the mpegs

at the moment u have to load the mpegs in normally set all its settings from a saved template then add it to the batch list

Are there any guides available that are somewhat descriptive with using noise reduction?

My guess is that the top slider is the one that removes the noise.
My guess is that the middle slider determines by how much.

Now the third slider time axis > is this something like a temporal cleaner in VirtualDub?

If you have source a file wich is very noisy, such as cable or antenna TV reception, what settings would you use?

I really need someone to help me on this TMPGenc 2.5. I am trying to convert this anime into VCD into NTSC file. Usually when I open the video file of the anime I am trying to convert the Audio file shows up, but recently the audio file doesn't show up anymore. I tried to use Virtual Dub but I don't really know how to use it that well enough. Virtual Dub audio always go before the picture frame. Please if anyone could help me out in solving either the TMPGenc or the Virtual Dub I would really appreciate.

Go to DVDRhelp.com for a tutorial on how to extract the audio to a wav with Virtualdub.

After converting a movie from flash to avi and avi to mpeg, when played on a standard DVD player my movie is too big on all sides. I need to get the movie to fit like it's supposed to. Anyone have any ideas?

May I suggest VirtualDub:

I have some DV footage (720x576) that I'd like to convert for DVD. For various reasons the output mpeg encoded file must be 704x576 (not 720x576).

I'd like to retain as much quality as possible and therefore prevent tmpgenc from squeezing or intepolating the input frames - in other words, I want it to take pixels 9 to 712 from the input and use these as the EXACT 704 pixels in the output encoded file (and pixels 1 to 8 and 713 to 720 are just discarded).

What advanced settings do I need to force tmpgenc to pass the exact pixels from input to output in this way?

Clip the Frame without setting borders. Use Center as positioning methode. That's all.

Hey Guys,

I'm new to TMPGEnc, but I can already tell that it's a pretty powerful tool. I'd like to know how to use it more in depth, which is why I'm asking here!

Here's my question.

I'm trying to convert flash movies (.swf) to mpeg, and the only way I can think of to do it is by converting them to .avi with Flashants swf2video, and from there using TMPGEnc to make the change from .avi to mpeg. Ideally, I'd like to get these flash movies onto a DVD, but for now svcd is fine. My problem is that when I convert the .avi files to mpeg2, they look fuzzy. What should I do? Change the resolution?

Also, when I try to use the DVD encoding, it splits the files up into a .m2v file and a .wav file. I know this is normal, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I'm sure you've all gotten this question a lot, and I'm sorry for asking it again, but how do I do it? I need the best quality possible!

Third, and lastly, what's the best way to burn completed avi to dvd conversions? I've got dvd x copy xpress, but that only allows you to copy dvds, not create new ones (unless I don't know how to use it right.)

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:

I did some searching and found out how to splice audio and video files together. That pretty much settles that question.

I'm still having video problems, though. Flash (by default) produces very crisp and clean video, which is what I want my final product to be on DVD. All I can get from TMPGEnc is fuzzy. What am I doing wrong? I use the wizard > Select DVD (NTSC) > Browse to my .avi file (which is crisp and clean) > click next > next > next > next. Then it starts encoding, and it's still fuzzy! I've got 60 minutes of flash video that I want to put on a DVD. I don't care how it gets done, only that it looks good in the end. Your help is appreciated!

with no answer in sight from any of you,
I did a bit of experimenting and partially solved my transfer problem.
Apparently a larger flash resolution to start with makes for a cleaner
mpeg after compression. I suppose I'm just stating the obvious.

I used DVD Author to make the necessary .vob files and burned it.
While it looks great on my TV, a decent sized chunk of the video is out
past where the TV displays. In other words, it got cut off.

How to I make the video fit on standard ntsc tvs?

Is anyone going to respond?
Come on, guys, I need help here.

Hi All,

I've got a problem with my beloved TMPGEnc-2.521.58.169-Free.

After some time..And I'm not sure that it's after a specific download, it just won't start. I can click all that I want on my shortcut, or on the .EXE directly, but all i'm gettin' is 3-4 sec. of hourglass, and then nothing...

Then I have to re-install my computer to use TMPGEnc - and that sucks..

System:Barton 2500+, All-In-Wonder 9000 GFX.

Anybody's got a clue ???

Delete 'TMPGEnc.ini' from the TMPG folder.

I have just downloaded the trial version of TMPGEnc Version 2.521 and am trying to convert OMA audio files to MP2 I can do this but when i play the converted file the sound goes the file carries on playing. so i wondering if this is because it ia a triel version.

No it's a protection with OMA files. The OMA decoder will only decode the first 30 seconds of the file.
You need to convert the OMA to CD audio or MP3 with Soundstage first.

How can i add an srt file into the mpeg so its saved as a single file

You want a Subtitle-Track?
In this case, you need a Tool like DVDLab PRO, DVDAuthor + DVDAuthor GUI or IFOEdit with SRTtoSUB.

Unfortunatly, TDA, the DVDAuthoring-Tool from Pegasys, is still not able to include Subtitles.

I am trying to re-encode a mpg file from a bin and cue set. The mpg plays fine in windows media but when I try to open it in the tpmgenc 2.5 project wizard it says that the file can't open or is unsupported. I have changed the showtime setting in the enviroment tab to no avail. I also downloaded and installed the ffdshow to no avail. I have no idea what to do now. Any help is much appreciated.

I'm assuming you have extracted the MPEG from the BIN.
Download the codec below and put it in the TMPG folder.
