Hi,

I am getting the following error message when oupting files in Xpress 3.0:

'Invalid sample format 0x80048002'

Can anybody tell me why this is happening? Cheers

Bizt

had this same message.
does not occur using tmpgenc 2.5 plus.

same thing here.
Using TMPGenc 3 Express.
Was trying to output 2nd half of 2-part image.

look here for a possible answer - http://www.moviecodec.com/thread/3430.html

>I have same problem.
What is the deal with this software. I have yet to sucessfully encode and burn an AVI,Divx or Xvid to DVD with TMPGEnc express 3.0.
Either I get the same error as above , or the program just shuts down in the middle. Other programs (DVDSanta,WINAVI) work but I sure wish I could get my 50 bucks worth from this purchased software.
Hey support..... a little help please!

I am still pretty vague on this stuff myself but I found an answer to this at the URL offered by Tall Steve. The problem is that the AC3 audio codec filter doesn't appear to be compatible with TMPGEnc 3.0 and the process halts with the error when TMPGEnc tries to write the audio layer. I also had problems with previewing the .avi files in TMPGEnc which is another indicator that a compatible audio codec was available. I downloaded the ACE Mega Codecs Professional pack and installed the audio codec I needed from that.

The 'Invalid sample format 0x80048002' error looks to be caused by an audio codec problem when decoding a video+audio input file -- I've seen it happen with MP3 audio when ffdshow was installed.

To solve the problem, try the following:

Use Render in GSpot to find out which audio codec is being used, and then inhibit the use of that codec by uninstalling, disabling, or lowering its priority.

In the case of the MP3 codec in ffdshow, all that was needed was to use ffdshow -> Audio Filter Configuration to set the ffdshow MP3 codec to Disabled.

i have tried all that. ac3 is a caunsing the problem so i disabled it in ACE Codecs now I get this error.

Hi,

I am getting the following error:

No quoted number of character-string '%.2f'

I have read some of the other posts and replies and they mention stuff about disk space, FAT32/NTFS and cache settings.

I have 38gig free and my HDD is formatted as NTFS so it shouldnt be that. How do I alter the cache settings and what should I set it to? Cheers

Same goes with me, and it started doing it this morning, with no modifications whatsoever... It worked fine last evening.

I also had this problem. I'm not sure what causes it, but I was able to work around it by using an avisynth script that refered to the the video source instead of using the source video directly. To try this, install avisynth (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=Avisynth). open an empty text file and type:

AVIsource ("C: empSource[filename.avi]")

where c: emp is the drive letter/path of the video file you are trying to encode. Save the file with a .avs extension, and then open this file in Tmpgenc instead of the origional source file. Worked for me, hope it works for you.

(hope this goes through)

youre wicked mate
without your kind offering of assistance on the net i wouldnt have been able to solve the same problem!

However I like to raise, for following opportunists, that the [ and the ] are not required in the link to the filename. Hence should read

AVIsource ("C: empsourcefilemane.avi"

Thanks a lot!

Thats

AVIsource ("C: empsourcefilemane.avi")

for correction.

THIS IS A POST FOR MICHELLE - HA HA - IM ON THE NET AGAIN! YOU SEE ME IN HERE ?

Sweet shell she is ;-D

Nice one Feste and site runners!

Just had the same problem myself.

2 things I changed

# The filename - it contained a few extra unneeded chars.
# The location of the output file - a drive with more free space.

Take your pick which may work for you.

Emale.

I had this error and changed the drive I was exporting to. I changed it from E: (80gb with 45gb free) to c: (40gb with 15gb free) and it exported no problems. Weird

http://www.weethet.nl/english/video_divx2svcd_tmpgenc_ac3.php

when selecting video CD Pal template, it clearly states 352x288 however the resulting output is 312x288 and it displays black bars in media player. I have nos such problem with Tmpeg 2.5 Plus

the mpeg2 section works fine, no problems at all

I solved that myself

Hi,
Running W2000, P4 CPU 2.4, Intel 865 Mboard, 1G ram. Xpress will load new files and edit great for a couple of hours. Then it will sort of lock itself out from accessing the hard disk drive for maybe 3 or more minutes. The W2000 task manager says Xpress "Not Responding". The hard drive activity light is on solid and other program accesses to the hard drive are slowed down. PC monitor window is also affected. Finally when the drive activity light is out/cleared, Xpress is back. But the next command causes it to go locked again. This behavior continues with Xpress until I re-boot the PC. System resources RAM available and CPU activity are good, not impacted. As I finish typing this Xpress has locked itself for 12 minutes. I hope it clears so I do not have to reboot. All help appreciated, thanks. regards - tom

I downloaded wmp 10 and when trying to load file into tmp 3 i would normally in video area when the length of files are different in video and audio change the cut-edit and key frame list which would then enable me to change the audio to fit the video length.
I can no longer do this. I have deleted wmp 10,redownloaded tmp3,changed the restore point and am so frustrated that i am considering a restore of my whole operating system which is not really what i want to do.
Can anyone offer any help?

I wanna include chinese subtitle while importing DVD-Video as source. But there's no such setting.

TMPGEnc seems do not like to support the DVD copy concern option?!

In the "add clip", "cut-edit" and "filter" pages/windows, I cannot see the bottom of page. Unable to resize the windows to rectify this either, which means i can't see or use the buttons at the bottom of these pages.
Is there any correction for this? I'm using WinXP-pro.

Seems like it's a waste of time asking questions in this forum, nobody cares to answer my question, or five others after mine.. how sad!

Take a serach you will have a couple of answers.

Thanks, but I can't find any relevant info with search. Can you please point me in the right direction?

Hello,

I have just downloaded the trial version of TMGPEnc Express and I am having problems at the very first stage of use:

When I (successfully) import an AVI into a new project it plays the audio at half-speed although the video is fine. You can also hear a constant high-pitch whistle indicating the the audio sample speed has been reduced. I must stress that this is before I have performed *any* work on the file. I have tried changing various options in the program, but with no effect.

The same AVI plays fine in Media Player and also other competitive encoding and authoring products. Can anyone tell me what the problem could be?

Thanks,
Andy

You have an AVI with VBR-Audio which TMPGEnc can't handle propperly.
Covert the Audio to WAV first by using VirtualDubMOD and Open the WAV as Audio-Source in TMPGEnc.

B_Racer - many thanks for the suggestion, but I won't try it - simply because I have over 50 tapes to transfer and if I can't use the native features of Xpress without going through another 3rd party tool then it's going to take years. I'm going to try another product. EditStudio from PureMotion is looking good at the moment. Their support is absolutely first class.

Thanks again,
Andy

I am using TMPGEnc Express 3 to recompress .vob files. The problem I am having is that the director's track is encoding by default.

I can always use DVD2AVI to do this and add a process. But I would rather do it right in TMPGEnc if it can be done.

Does anyone know how to choose which audio track will be encoded from a .vob source?

Thank you,

Mike

when encoding to an MPEG VCD from WMV, the output file plays a second or two then pauses on one frame and then plays another few seconds and pauses again. it does this throughout the file. The audio is fine, it plays as normal, its just the video is screwed

What WMV file is it? To WMV gathered in the network, mostly, protection has started and cannot encode.

when converting avi file to svcd with tmpgenc xpress 3.0 I get an error message when the encoding is at 50%
Error "any_file.avi" is not a supported file format

I'm getting the exact same problem, Have you been able to find a solution? I have tried every combination of Codecs, and Filters I can think of and somtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Thanks, Steve

I have a 3 hour avi file encoded with divx5. I set everything up in 2.5 and it was encoding fine until almost the end where it gave me a message, "invalid scanline" or something similar and stopped the encoding. Would've been nice to have a 'skip frame' option. But no, it made the whole thing useless.

The avi plays fine in players.

So i grabbed 3.0 because you can cut out parts of the movie. I was just going to test if it could encode the bad part and if it couldn't, i'd cut out half a second or so. So when i add the avi to 3.0 and play it in the cutting mode, it won't show a picture, only the 1st frame. When it encodes it just encodes the one frame which stays on screen forever but with sound.

I used DivFix and DivxRepair an neither reported any errors with the file.

I've downloaded and installed the divx codec off the official website just in case something was wrong. Same problem still. So i downloaded a movie trailer off the site. It plays fine but it has no sound. LOL. Opposite problem.

I've also noticed, the trailer is 1:15 but in tmp 3.0 in the 'clip info it reports it as 1813 frames but in the 'cut-edit' when i play it says xxxx/3762 frames.
