just saw that the JA version of 2.524 Plus is out.
Does anyone know if there will be a english Plus version as well?

The English one is there now.

Hi there. I am trying to locate a TMPGenc template called KVCD-KMOD (that's the only name I have for it) and having absolutely no luck whatsoever. I have seen the KVCD templates for TMPGenc on the kvcd.net site and this one is not there. If anyone knows where I can locate this particualr template, I'd be most appreciative for the heads up. Thanks in advance.

I am getting an unrecognized exception while processing the AVS file. It is complaining about the MPEG2Source line.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong

Any help would be appreciated
thanks

i want a part out of the middle of a file so i use source range, but when it converts there is no audio???

Hi,

I'm trying to encode mpeg-1 from avi.

The output file is bigger than the input file in ~25%.

Can I configure TMPGEnc to make a smaller mpg file?

Thanks

An MPEG 1/2 file will always be bigger than an AVI if you want to maintain quality. You can reduce the size by reducing the bitrate, but the output will look crap.

Wrong. A MPEG-1 is encoded at CBR therefore the size is 10 MB per minute (compulsory). Therefore 1 CD-R approx 80' of VCD movie is compulaory.
You either must use the KVCD templetes or split the movie into 2 (for a 80 min < length < 160 min movie).

Can anyone help please...here's the situation. (BTW I am new to this)

I have a series of avi files which I want to convert to mpeg so I can watch it on my TV. On recommendation, I downloaded and installed TMPGEn. Converted one file (using defaults). Pictures are perfect but sadly :-( no sound

I have checked the posts in this forum and so far I cannot see one straight answer (remember I am new to this)

How do I get the audio? I asked for system (video & audio) when I encoded the avi file and yet no sound.

If I can stream the audio into a wav file using something esle, how do i combine the 2 files into a "working" mpeg file that I can burn to a CD?

Can someone pretty please give me a step by step instruction so I can reach my goal. Thanks

Use the following guide. It will definately help you

i get the ntdll.dll error and i realize this has been asked many times before, but all everyone says to do is install ffdshow,and it doesnt work. please help me out if anyone has any ideas.

i found out that XPress does the same thing i was wanting Plus to do and XPress worked fine with no errors, so i suggest getting XPress if you are getting this dumb error.

I just downloaded TMPGEnc and it's freezing - and worse, it leaks all my ram to zero and then I have to hard boot. It's very very ugly.

Why is it doing this and what do I have to do to make it stop. It never begins to work on my avi video - it just stops right after I hit the start button, freezes, then leaks all the ram.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,
It would seem that there is a problem with your install to me. Its kinda tuff 2 say without knowing more but to make sure use your program add/remove tool and delete the download, grab another from this site and then reboot your PC do another install and BEFORE using reboot AGAIN, this to make sure of what we are starting out with, Ill check back in to se how you are making out, also tell us exactly which version you are using........ill be waitin on ya!

Hi, OK I tried this, although there was nothing to uninstall. I deleted the directory, rebooted and re-unzipped the free TMPGEnc (even though it says it's supposed to be free, I keep getting "YOu only have 27 days usage remaining" message.)

The problem happened when I changed the VFapi plugin settings. At least with those changes, I could get the .avi to load in both audio and video boxes. Now that I reinstalled and left it at factory settings, I can browse to the video, but it doesn't autofill the audio source box. (and the radio button area at the bottom right moves to Video Only). When I set to that selection back to video plus audio, and try to input the file as the audio source too, it gives me an error message that the audio file can't be supported or open. (other packages can open it.)

Hello Everyone and Thank You for reading my post.

I am having problems encoding a WideScreen video in the QT .MOV format.

Essentially, the original .MOV file is already set in a "235 to 1" aspect ratio.

If I use the "16x9" option in TMPGEnc, I can preserve the aspect ratio and the video appears on screen just like any WideScreen DVD would, with the usual black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Unfortunately, and this is my main problem, the left and rigt edges are gtting cropped on every TV I play my new creation on.

I have tried adjusting other settings relating to "Aspect Ratio" in TMPGEnc, but I still have not found one that works.

Could anyone please help me with my problem?

Thanks for your time.

You will NEVER see the same amount of image on a TV as you will see on your monitor.

There is always a certain percentage of the image at all sides that is hidden in the overscan area of the TV and is perfectly normal.

I have used TMPGEnc Plus faithfully for a couple years without problems. Recently I added MPEG Editor to my PC for the added funcionability.

I also recently purchased a Digital Camcorder that uses MiniDV tapes. I have uploaded the video to my pc via the firewire and WinDV as an avi file. The problem I am having is that when I try to bring the avi file into TMPGEnc it only recognizes about the first four minutes of the file even though the file may be over 30 minutes long.

I have never experienced this before. Any ideas? I am stumped.

I've been having problems with avi files for the last week or so. At one point I couldn't open them in TMPGEnc or any media players other than the divx player. Now I can open them in media players, though the timings are all wrong (for example, 90-minute videos display their length as 6 days.) But I still can't open any avi files at all with TMPGenc - I get the 'cannot open file, or unsupported' error.
This happens with avi's of any type, which used to open and encode fine. I've checked the files with GSpot, have the right codecs and can render them fine. I've tried increasing the priority of the directshow multimedia file reader with no effect. Anyone have any ideas?

I am having the exact same problem. TMPG worked fine on my WinMe machine but with XPPro I get that "cant open, file unsupported" error. I CAN make an mpg file of the audio of the AVI file, but not the video. Hope someone answers soon.

Found a fix that worked for me :-)

"Common TMPGEnc problems, solutions and tips

If you get an error message when opening like file unsupported or can not open or is not supported or you get an empty(black) video preview window or the video look wierd in the video preview window like green or purple or pink
Try first to change the directshow codec reader priority settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 2 or to the top of the plugin-list and try reopen the video.
"
I set mine to "1" at the top of the list, hope it helps you too.

Thanks - have tried this though, with no success - I still get the same error message. Can use avi's for audio source but not video. Anyone else have any ideas?

I think you only have a problem with a codec.
Try to download the DivX- or xVid-Codec.

Hi Folks,

i have a bunch of selfrecorded MPG1s where the audio is out of sync. It just needs a little gap-setting to correct this, but I don't want to recompress the Video just for inserting a gap in Audio. Is there any way to correct the sync of Audio without recompressing the Video of an MPG1?

Thanx

Frank

Re-mux with MPEG2VCR or BBMPEG
