Does anybody know how to get the correct subtitles when convert fron DVD/Video_TS to e.g. WMV... I do not see an option to choose anywhere...

tmpgenc does not support subtitles. Maybe future version will support.

Question - Sonic Producer No.53473
politeagression  2005-07-28 19:07:39 ( ID:tbdjamc/itj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, I have been trying to use this encoder to make mpeg2s to import and master from Producer, and I have been getting the same error message saying the data rate is too fast for dvd, I'm wondering if anyone has any imput on the matter, or settings.

I started with 9bit and am currently trying 8, but I'm wondering if thats even the cause.

thanx in advance.


vman  2005-11-29 18:57:57 ( ID:1nj24nnmnjg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The error is about the video bitrate you are using for encoding the mpeg2 files. For Sonic Producer you cas not use more than 4000k.

Does anybody know how to create a batch file manually?
I need to encode a load of MP3 audio plus seperate video files, and TMPGenc asks for editing conformation after each one i load - it will take me weeks to sit there and press OK after each one loads!

If anybody has the format, i can write a piece of code that i will make available for anyone.

Thanks in advance

Why is it when I open a VOB file that plays just fine, it
has DTS audio, that the audio is unrecognised?

If DTS is unsupported, why not at least give that error

I used Xpress 3.0 to copy the source of a pal dvd to my hdd. It's at 25 fps. I've encoded it to ntsc 3 times, once on CBR twice on VBR, but after about 2/3 of the way through it gets stuck on one frame for the rest of the movie. The sorce doesn't have this glitch, so I'm lossed.

Just starting using this program. I have an hour long AVi. file and encoding it into a mpeg2 file. it has been 25 minutes and only 13% is complete. IS that normal? Is there anyway to speed it up?
Thanks.

Depending on the speed of your processor, yes.
>Is there anyway to speed it up?
1. Faster processor.
2. Reduce output quality (e.g., CBR instead of VBR, less accurate motion search)
3. Switch to a faster encoder. ;)

You're welcome. :)



Question - Audio Missing on most Xvids No.53461
lamen  2005-05-21 18:51:32 ( ID:dmkjo0pojfr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, in TMpgENC I am having problems with the audio dissapearing entirely in certain files. The files are using Mpeg-3 audio. I believe this is due to it being Variable Bitrate. So my first workaround was to bring it into virtual dub and extract the audio to a wav file, that made the audio way off-sync. When I load the video into vdub it says this "VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source avi file and will rewrite the header with standard cbr values..."

Anyways, any idea why the audio isn't working in TMpgEnc in the first place? or what is a workaround I can use? These files work fine in other similar programs, but lack the quality.


JNavas  2005-05-25 17:25:22 ( ID:wqrmqptx/r6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The apparent problem is lack of a suitable ACM (VFW) codec for decoding MP3 audio that isn't 100% compliant with the standard, and I know of no such suitable codec. The easiest work-around I know of is to first use the freeware AVI Audio Decompressor (which comes with avi2vcd http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=avi2vcd) to decompress the MP3 audio into a new AVI along with the video.


JNavas  2005-05-31 21:35:29 ( ID:ipzln20mey. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The Kristal Studio MPEG Layer-3 Audio Codec 4.2.0.0 (MPEG Layer-3 Producer, Copyright 1999-2000 Kristal Studio), which can be found in the Nimo Codec Pack 5.0 Build 8 http://nimo.titanesk.com/modules/freecontent/index.php?id=1, will decode the audio in some (but not all) problematic XviD+MP3 AVIs in my tests.

Bug report - TMPGenc 3.0 XPress frame rate problem with XviD source No.53447
JNavas  2005-05-11 17:55:04 ( ID:n/sue0nj9rm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When attempting to encode 23.976 fps XviD sources (as verified by GSpot 2.21) into DVD-compatible MPEG2, TMPGenc 3.0 XPress incorrectly detects the source frame rate as 30 fps, resulting in jerky MPEG2 output.

These XviD sources play perfectly in a variety of players, and encode properly in NeroVision Express 3.

There appears to be no way to override the incorrectly detected source frame rate in TMPGenc 3.0 XPress, and there doesn't appear to be any reasonable work-around.

This problem exists in version 3.0.4.24 (original release) and version 3.1.5.82 (latest version as of this writing) of TMPGenc 3.0 XPress.

Codecs: XviD-1.0.3-20122004 _Final Release_
XviD-1.1.0-Beta2-04042005 _Beta Release_
Platform: Windows XP SP2 on 2 GHz Mobile Pentium 4

TMpgEnc is pretty bad at 23.97 to 29.97 framerate conversions.

Workaround:
From TMpgEnc 3.x, save the output as a wave file only, then frameserve the avi file (with no audio) from VDub to TMpgEnc 2.5x. Be sure to set the framerate conversion in VDub. Now use a DVD authoring program to create the DVD file.




doktor  2005-05-15 12:39:18 ( ID:pnf1lzalrhl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You may use ffdshow or 3ivx for xvid decoding - it reports correctly the framerate to tmpgenc xpress or tmpgenc xpress correctly understands it. don't know if it is a problem of tmpgenc xpress or xvid.

Thanks for the suggestion. I suspect that work-around would indeed work, but then why bother at all with TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress? Use a separate AC3 encoder instead. With ffmpegGUI, there's not even a need to first split out the audio into a WAV file. For that matter, why then bother with any version of TMPGEnc -- any MPEG2 encoder could be used, some of which are both better and faster than TMPGEnc.

The principal attraction of TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress (with the AC3 plugin) is simple yet flexible, one-step encoding of good quality DVD-compliant MPEG2 with multiplexed AC3 audio. Take that away, and you might as well use other tools that are faster and/or better.

I've found ffdshow to be too unstable/problematic to use. The 3ivx codec (instead of the XviD codec) does indeed solve the problem of incorrect source frame rate, including the correct Video Mode (3:2 pulldown playback), but the resulting MPEG2 video from TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress is still jerky. (Output from NeroVision Express 3 is much smoother.) Thus TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress apparently has a compatibility problem with the XviD codec (which is probably a TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress problem given that other applications see the correct source frame rate), and doesn't do a terribly good job of frame rate conversion in any event (as reported by others). Regardless, thanks for the suggestion.

Don't do any framerate conversion. Encode it in 23.976 fps with 3:2 Pulldown on playback. TMPGEnc is able to do this corretly since version 0.12a...

This thread is about TMPGEnc *XPress* (*not* TMPGEnc or TMPGEnc Plus)!

TMPGEnc XPress can do what you suggest when the 3ivx code is used (rather than the XviD codec), but the resulting output is STILL JERKY!


JNavas  2005-05-20 17:19:27 ( ID:n/sue0nj9rm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

UPDATE: AviSynth can solve the problem! Use AviSynth to frameserve the XviD source into TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress, and TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress WILL then properly encode DVD-compliant MPEG2 and AC-3 audio output, smooth instead of jerky!


freaky  2005-08-19 20:09:39 ( ID:/mhfvvjnzth )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

change the framerate from the avi before you encode it with avirate and rip the audio out of it with vdub and change the framerate from the audio with ac3machine encode de avi with tmpgenc on the framerate you change it to. to a M2V file and join them with ifoedit and you have a good Q dvd in the framerate you like

The solution to the 30 fps problem with Xpress that I found to work was to deselect generic MPEG-4 support in the DivX codec. Once I did that, any AVI file I loaded that had been encoded with XVID had their correct frame rate showing, along with the correct number of frames.

Many, many, many thanks for your solution.

Question - Virtualdubmpeg2 to TMPGenc Compresses File No.53446
GMan  2005-04-26 16:31:49 ( ID:st0vkign45g )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm using the VirtualDub MPEG2 version and want to remove logo's from my MPEG2 files. I use TMPGENC to encode the files that are modified in VirtualDub using the Frame Server function.

However following the tutorials to remove the logo's yielded files that were orginal 2.5GB down to 350MB. Naturally with this unwanted compression I get unwanted artifacts etc.

Has anyone used this process to remove the logo's without altering the video quality?

Are there special settings within TMPGenc that need to be set to retain the original video quality? If so, what or where can I find these settings?

Here is the method that I have been using to remove the logo's.

1) Open VirtualDub and load a MPEG2 file.
2) Open filters and add Delogo and then configure to remove logos.
3) Then select Video Compression and here is where I select Uncompressed.
4)Then I open Frameserver
5) Then I open TmpgEnc to encode the files

As mentioned before the original size was 2.5GB , after doing the above the filesize is 350MB. I don't want to compress anything video or audio , all I want to do is remove the logo's.

I have tried other settings such as : select in Audio & Video processing modes..."Direct Stream Copy" or "Full Processing Mode"... Neither option yielded an uncompressed file. By the way when I used Direct Stream Copy it took over 18+ hours.

Another point to mention is that in all cases the audio was synced with the video.



Any help, comments, tutorials etc will be appreciated.

Thanks!
