DLuksa  2005-12-23 16:45:46 ( ID:4y2retwjsvg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am new to this program and am a very green novice in need of direction. I am trying to convert a MWAV file from Windows Movie Maker to MPEG. When the conversion reaches 100% everything just stops. I see from a previous post that it is writing the headers. How long should that take? I have left it for over an hour with no change. Will I get a message when the conversion is finished. I have tried exiting and burning my VCD but the movie freezes up in various frames. I would appreciate any help you can offer. I have been working on this for days and need it for a Christmas gift. Thanks.


ashy  2005-12-24 20:11:19 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It shouldn't take long to write the headers, but it depends on your system. We're talking less than a minute here.
Best thing to do is set the end point of the file a second just before it finishes using the source range function and raise the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' in the VFAPI plugins to top of the list.

Hello,

I wrote this as a reply to a previous problem earlier, so maybe it didn't get noticed. Thanks in advance for any help. :)

Hello,

I am attempting to convert .mpg files to a smaller size for playing on a portable device, with PocketTV. The video comes out backwards and upside-down. I tried all 3 things from the other post about this problem, and it is still the same. Any other ideas? Thanks.

ashy  2005-12-20 19:21:51 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Use the flip option in FFDSHOW. You will need to make the 'Directshow file reader' top priority in the VFAPI plugins first.
If it's MPEG 1 then you could make the 'MPEG 1 file reader' top priority or if you have the plus version the 'CRI sofdec decoder' top prority.
At least one of these options should work if not all 3.


sticman  2005-12-21 02:15:30 ( ID:muyrjsj0ko. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi ashy,

I tried them, no go. I only have the free version, so I couldn't try the 'CRI sofdec decoder.' I tried putting "Microsoft MPEG-1 Decoder" top priority, no change. Then I installed FFDSHOW, checked the 'flip video,' and moved "Directshow Multimedia File Reader" to the top. Still no change. I even unchecked everything else. I noticed that MPEG-1 input was not allowed when I unchecked everything but "Directshow Multimedia File Reader." Is it possible that FFDSHOW doesn't accept MPEG-1 as input? Also, I noticed that it's just upside down, not backwards. I downloaded a trial version of TMPGEnc express and it seemed to work on that, but that will only last for 2 weeks. I can't afford the $70. :)

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

ashy  2005-12-23 13:10:53 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You can download the plus version for free with a 14 day trial. That will allow you to use the CRI sofdec decoder.

My guess is you have a codec pack installed on your machine which is using a filter that is causing this problem. Does it happen in normal playback through mediaplayer?

You have 2 other options, you can frame serve through AVIsynth with a simple script or you can frame serve from Virtualdub.

Mediplayer 6.4 will tell you which filters are being used for playback in it's properties.


sticman  2005-12-28 23:16:08 ( ID:wtt3ptvlnbc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi ashy,

I tried it on a different PC and it works fine, so I think you are right. I believe the problem is with the Sony VAIO Zone software, which probably installed a codec that doesn't get along with TMPGenc. Unfortunately, I can't get rid of VAIO Zone, so I will just have to use a different PC for TMPGenc. I have used GSpot to list the codecs, and nothing seems to be amiss. I tried framserving from virtualdub, and I didn't have time to try a whole file, but I will probably just use the other PC, as it is faster anyway.

Thanks again for all your help.

ashy  2005-12-30 21:29:24 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

A simple script in Avisynth will solve all your problems. Just use the FLIP VERTICAL() command or you you could probably solve it by using the CONVERTTOYUY2() command.

ashy  2005-12-15 20:39:12 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yes.
Load the source, set the resolution you wish to capture at then click File>preview then move to the frame you want and right click on it and select 'copy to clipboard'.
Paste into any image program.

sergiobn  2005-12-13 15:08:42 ( ID:cqjtv45m.u6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I use TMPEnc Plus 2.5 and it was running ok for several months.
But now, when I start encoding a movie, when the progress bar reaches 100%, it stop and freeze. I have to force quit the application. And the resultin mpeg file runs without any audio.
I have unistalled TMPGenc and re-installed it again, but the problem remains.
What is the problem here?


ashy  2005-12-13 18:17:22 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just leave it. You need to give it time to write the headers. Go and have a coffee or somthing as it can take a while with some files.
Either way that won't be the reason you have no sound, that is another problem. Probably aa source that TMPG can't decode such as AC3 or sometimes even VBR Mp3.


sergiobn  2005-12-14 14:05:18 ( ID:cqjtv45m.u6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

But the source file I was using is a Quicktime movie, with the same codec I always use for years. In the past I had no problem at all.
I had never to wait too long for the application write the headers.
It is a strange sintom.

Anysuggestion will be appreciated.

Cange the audio output to MP2 instead of PCM.

For some reason when I convert rm to mpg I get the video but no audio. Does anyone know why?


Lee  2006-01-11 18:13:11 ( ID:mzfgfu1e29o )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I had the same problem the first time. Did you ever solve the problem ?


Thanks,
Lee


ashy  2006-01-11 21:12:40 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPG is unable to decode RM audio. You will need to convert the audio to wav first.


Lee  2006-01-12 03:43:07 ( ID:mzfgfu1e29o )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well,
That's fine, but the movie is one avi file. Can I pull the audio out ?


teac  2006-02-17 14:54:14 ( ID:pfb7dxe9dso )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

use goldwave then save audio as wav or mp3 then multiplex it in tmpgenc with your rm video already converted to m1v
:)

any other softwares to convert RM audio file? not so familiar with Goldwave...

Hello...Is there a way to easily add all mpeg files in various subfolders to a batch project? I have a folder with many subfolders containing mpeg files and the only way i can figure out how to add them to a batch project is one by one which is very tedious. Any help would be appreciated :)



Question - Misreading AVI length No.43516
Steelshanks  2005-12-07 23:46:13 ( ID:lvung0xhdqf )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have been a happy TMPEG user for several years now, and recently experienced a very strange problem.

I make VCD's/DVD typical and I've never had any problems, however I recently updated TMPEG to the latest version and now it is misreading my AVI files length. For example, an avi that is 30 minutes long, it was think it's 90 minutes long, it is always misreading by approximately 3 times the length. This of course causes problems because the output file is 3 times bigger than it needs to be.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

SteelShanks


ashy  2005-12-09 17:12:56 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

'Directshow file reader' priority to 2 in the VFAPI plugins.


Crocodile  2006-10-01 22:07:38 ( ID:ebrdfyjab2m )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I was getting the 3x file issue, and also my files had no audio.

This advice sorted the 3x issue (I was working around this by selecting all but the last couple of seconds of the clip to encode) and also the audio! Thanks very much for a great product.



Question - Rendering Time No.43512
DunHill  2005-12-04 07:37:15 ( ID:djcvxqjwl12 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm new to TMPG. I have a dvd quality avi file, 90mins/20Gb, converting to mpeg-2. I load the DVD(NTSC) template, no problem. However,the rendering time is approx. 30 hours.

Is this to be expected?

System:

P4 2.53GHz; 8kb/512kb mem.cache
1Gb Ram
120 hdd (80Gb free)

ashy  2005-12-04 14:01:29 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Depends on whether you are reading and writing to the same HD or not.
If you are then that's half of your problem. A 20gb AVI is massive and will require a fair bit of memory resources too.

I would download and install FFDShow then go into the config settings and enable Raw AVI decoding. It should speed it up.
Also set the 'Motion search precision' in TMPG to 'motion estimnate search' No need for anything else as the AVI is of high quality anyway.

If you are using any filters in TMPG then disable them.
an AVI to MPEG2 should take 4-5 hours on your system.


DunHill  2005-12-06 00:08:11 ( ID:djcvxqjwl12 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks Ashy!

I have my avi files on an ext. hdd via usb and the output file to Cdrive. After applying config. chgs to TMPG alone, rendering time dropped from 39+ hrs to 2+ hrs.

Thank you, again.

ps.
Ashy,how did you learn so much about this app? Since, it doesn't seem to have documentation. Or is this just your field of expertise?
Do you know of any free online tutorial for av editing? I'd like to learn more to have better understanding.


ashy  2005-12-06 17:42:09 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have used TMPG for many years and gaimed most of what I know by experience. If you download TMPGenc plus you will get a manual with it.
An excellant site for video creation with lots of TMPG tutorials is http://www.videohelp.com/



Question - Error Msg "Can't Load P3Package.dll" No.43508
JvstJim  2005-11-29 20:33:45 ( ID:k8n/onjbasr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have been successful previously converting wave files and I believe AVI but now in trying to convert an AVI file I get error msg that Can't Load P3Package.dll. My folder is showing this .dll file. I tried to redownload TMPGEnc to no avail. Any help greatly appreciated.


Dennis  2005-11-29 23:24:42 ( ID:ky0iy1hosdn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Extract all files of the zipfile to a specified folder. Then run the .exe file. This should do the trick.


ashy  2005-12-01 19:37:06 ( ID:/larvwb4b.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Why people think they can run programs from a zip file or just extract the .exe from the folder and the run the program is beyond me. All those other files in the folder are just for show I suppose....


Dangerous too  2006-01-16 03:31:58 ( ID:ispvt2warjm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Since it originally worked...Did you drag the .exe file out to the desktop? I did and mine quit working. Drag it back in to wherever you extracted the file to and it will work again. Classic case of knowing enough to be dangerous...
