Im trying to convert an avi in xvid format to vcd using tmpgenc v2.59 but i keep getting this msg ..."write error occurred at address 77fcb9ae of module 'ntdll.dll' with 00000000."

whats this telling...can anyone help me out...thanks

Hello look > Minion : I read somewere that to properly encode Xvid files you have to change the Four CC code of the Codec to the Four CC Code of DivX...

Being a newbie at this game, i've not a clue what that means, can someone point me in the right direction of how and what program to use to do this.

Also, i found that it only gives the ntdll.dll errors with certain Xvid's, i've encoded some Xvid's since fine, but still no luck with the original one :(

Mazz..

This was something that I read in a Different Forum and after Adviseing someone to try it it didn"t seem help Him with his Problem encodeing Xvid files unless he didn"t do it properly...You can allways try Frameserveing the Xvid file with Virtual dub...

when encoding an *.avi to *.mpg I get this msg:

write error occured at address 76556152 for module 'TMPGEnc.exe'


what does this mean, and why does that error occur?

When the next version comes?

Is there a date for that? On next week, next month, next year???

This version has even that multiplexing bug what is really annoying. :(

BTW.. TMPGEnc is the best program I ever seen. :) Hiroyuki Hori, please keep developing it.

I was wondering if there is a way to get back the MPEG-2 converting feature in TMPGEnc? I only used it for 2 days a few weeks before (and it didn't even work) and now it says the evaluation has expired. :( Is there another freeware program that allows converting to SVCD? Also, why is converting to SVCD in TMPGEnc only for evaluation?

Mpeg2 is a licensed technology and encoders distributed in a public way like this required payments be made to the license holder. As long as you have to cover the license, it seems only fair to pay the small amount necessary to keep their software efforts alive.

The quality and flexibility of TMPG rivals that of encoders costing hundreds of dollars. (Only the performance lags.)

The Only way to get the Mpeg2 encodeing Functions Back is to Purchase the Program, which is a Good Investment Cuz it is One of the Best mpeg encoders with the Cheapest price..You could Try Useing BBMpeg which will encode to Mpeg2 But it is also really Really Really slow, and the Quality isn"t as good as Tmpgenc...But it is freeware..

Thanks for the reply! I guess I'll be sticking with VCDs as SVCDs don't even work on my DVD Player and it wastes my time to get it to work.

Since I was experiencing so many lockups using Tmpgenc 2.57+ under WINE, I decided to give it a try under a freshly installed copy of Win2K SP2.

Same thing. It still locks up the entire machine. TMPGenc 2.56 and under work fine however. The only additional software on the system is PowerDVD 4.0, DVD2AVI and DirectX 8.1.

TMPGenc (the entire machine for that matter) locks on files whether they are DVD rips or self encoded files.

Can someone please give me a clue here?

My System is:
AMD XP1700+
256mb DDR@266mhz
4 80gb Maxtor UDMA133/7200 HDs
1 CD-R/RW
1 DVD-Rom drive

I have the same problem as you.

Anytime I start encoding with tmpgenc, after seconds, my computer reset. Anybody know why?

My computer:

AMD k7 1.3 Ghz (266MHz)
Gigabyte GA-7drx
512 DDR Ram (2x256)
SB live 5.1
Geforce MX 440 64MB
20 GB HD

Windows 2000 SP3

I try taking off one module memory and only working wiht one module memory (256MB). After that, I change de module memory and the problem continue.

It¡­s my Micro or my Motherboard problem?

My computer reset every X hours. working only with emule program.
X hours could be 8-12h, It is not at the same time. It is variable.

Anybody can help me, please?

Well Tmpgenc Was Never Made to Run On "WINE" so if you can get it to work then that is a Bonus But we Can give advice on how to do something the Program wasn"t Made to do in the First Place....

@LeXus99
I recall TMPGEnc gave me a great deal of problems when trying to run my (admittingly cheap) memory at it's rated PC2700 in fast-turbo modes on WIN98. I usually got floating point errors or locked up... Switching down to PC2100 and "normal" mode solved this issue for me.

@Vicdiz
If your machine is shutting down every so often, and when put under stress, it very well could be a heat issue. Athlon mobo's usually have a shutdown temp set in their bios to regulate this. Remember, encoding video will really put the chip under stress and create much more heat than when the machine is idle... Make sure everything is cool under the hood or you could damage your equipment!

Thanks for the reply....

I am using PC2100 DDR and heat does not seem to be the issue. I suspected this a while back and ran the heat sensor software at the same time I was rendering my video just to check. I also recently ran a CPU test program that claims if used under an already overheated system, it would ultimatly fry the CPU and probably the motherboard power caps as well. It's recommended only running it for a few minutes. I let it run for several hours. It did not lock up the machine.

For that matter, would TMPG2.56 not have the same effect? It would still be processor intensive, and it works great (under both WINE and Win2k).

Are you running an XP chip? Since I originally posted, I have checked TMPGEnc 2.57 thru 2.59 on non-XP Athlons under both WINE and Win2k with no lockups
(So, it DOES indeed work great under WINE).

My conclusion, either there is a bug in TMPGEnc v2.57 and greater where XP chips are concerned, or my CPU has a bad instruction in it somewhere. If the latter, I would surely see lockups with other rendering programs, such as Lightwave 3D.

BTW, I cannot, as of so far, use the Cyberlink codec under WINE and am using the m2p.vfp codec instead under Linux. Under Win2k, I'm using the Cyberlink codec.
This has been the same for all tested CPUs, so the m2p.vfp codec DOES work.

Now what?

I aldready posted earlier but I really need a solution and one hasnt been offered yet. PLEASE!!!

I am in the process of trying to create a DVD Project in DVDMaestro. Up until this point, I have succesfully created and burned two DVD's made in DVDMaestro. The process I go through to make my media DVDMaestro compatible is as follows:
Using these programs:
TMPGEnc:De-Multiplex all .MPG files into seperate audio(.MP2) and video(.M2V)
Power Tools MP3 Merger:Merge seperate .MP2 files into one audio file.
TMPGEnc:Edit the .MP2 file to 48K
DVDPatch:Patch the .M2V files to a DVD compliant resolution
DVDMaestro:Load patched .M2V and 48K .MP2 files into DVDMaestro

Although there are two more steps after these to complete my process, it is at the last step that my error is occuring. The first patched .M2V and 48K .MP2 file load into Maestro flawlessly. When I attempt to load up my second and last patched .M2V file into DVDMaestro I get the following error:

'Temporal References in a GOP are out of sequence.'(0xc1070034)
Now for the solution... =]

It seems like there is some problem with the GOP sequence and may have become corrupted in the last MPEG. You could try re-packetizing the MPEG.
M2Edit has a feature to re-sequence MPEGs which may solve your problem.

MPEGCarver and is another which can do this.
Vitec MPEG-2 Pro can add sequence headers to a GOP, but not sure if this will 'fix' and re-sequence the MPEG or not

I have a mpeg file processed using TMPGEnc, it works fine, the file is under 700Mb, but when I try to burn it using Nero, it tells me the file is too long for a 80min CD-R. The runtime is 89mins. Is there a way I can fit this file in VCD format onto a 80min CDR?

Nero Is Wierd like this sometimes, you can either enable "OverBurning" and set it to 89 minutes in Nero, or Use something else to burn VCD"s like VCDEasy which I think is a Better Program for Burning VCD/SVCD"s Cuz it allows you to Make Chapters which Nero doesn"t...

Yea, i go w/ VCDEasy and ?Burn at once, or Burn it now? Its so simple and fast, I cant remember its name. But it will let you overburn w/o even asking.

Are you sure this file is only 700mb?

If you have created a 89min standard VCD then this file will be 890mb, I would guess Nero is telling the truth.

When I try to open a d2v file with tmpgenc, I get the following message "Cannot open or unsupported" I used to have windows 98 and had no problems with d2v files. Anyone know why?

Thanks

Make sure you have the DVD2AVI.vfp Plugin in the Vfapi Plugins, if you don"t then take the "DVD2AVI.vfp" file from the DVD2AVI folder and Put it into the Tmpgenc folder and then it should be there..make sure you didn"t movie or rename or delete any of the Vob or Mpeg files you are Frameserveing..and if all else fails then Make a New D2V file...

i noticed following problem when producing mpeg2 svcd pal videos:
single vertical jitter every few seconds (approx 1-2 lines).
i use version 2.59; same problem occurs with every elder version
of tmpgenc i tried. (input-files are 720x540 pal videos, captured by
pinnacle studio dc10+ card)
jitter does not occur, if i encode the same files with pinnacle studio 8.
since i prefer to use tmpgenc i would be interested in a solution of
the problem.
has anyone an idea what the cause could be ?

Have you tried to De-Interlace the Files to Fix the Jitter????

no, because i need it interlaced to produce svcd-cds which are played on the dvd-player connected to the tv.
the jitter is not permanent; it's a single image-move down/up approx. 1 line, then for seconds everything is ok, and then it happens again...

The De-Interlace Filter doesn"t make the File a Non-interlace File it Just blends the 2 fields together so you don"t have to Wory about Problems with field Jitter...I use it all the Time when Makeing SVCD"s and It does wonders for Fixing Problems like this But the File will Still Be interlaced...

i tried the non-interlace filter when i started to make svcd's. my experience is, that non-interlaced looks better when played on the pc and interlaced looks much better when played on the desktop player connected to the tv set (when there is movement in the scene, it is very jittery when non-interlaced is used).
in fact noticed my problem after months, when i captured the 'neujahrskonzert 2003' of the vienna philharmonuc orchestra, because of many sequences with no camera movements or with very slow zooms...

I have this file where I can get the video, but not the sound.I tried to extract the sound in virtual dub and clicked on 'file information' and under sound it had "unknown (tag 2000)....I've tried and tried to find the right encoder AND decoder for this thing.....somebody PLEASE HELP ME FIND THIS FILE!!!...GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

It is Probably "AC3", You can use "AVI-Mux" to demux and uncompress the audio to a WAV file and use that as the audio source...

>It is Probably "AC3", You can use "AVI-Mux" to demux and uncompress the audio to a WAV file and use that as the audio source...

where is this 'avi mux' and how do I use or apply it to the movie file to make it work?? I've never used it so I'm dumb to this part. Is it in virtual dub or tmpgenc? Please help me out with this process on how to use this file.

Download it then search 'AVImux' in the search bar at the top of this page.

please help when i try to open tmpg i get illegal op error in kernel32.dll

I would like to convert multiple files at once. I am having to go through each one separtely and convert each one that way. I have 100's of files to convert and it's getting annoying. Could you please tell me if there is a way to convert a whole file of movies? Thank you, in advance.

name each file sequencially then go to Enviromental setting, click the CPU tab and check the 'Open sequence files as a movie' option.

Now load the first file and the rest will encode.

ASHY

I tried the above thing, but i still can't convert several movie files to mpg files for joining, i would like to do this all at one time. Thanks for the help, any other ideas? and i am doing something wrong? I renamed 4 of them and opened one for converting, the rest did not open.

The Files have to be named like "File-001.avi, File-002.avi, File-003.avi ect" and they have to have the same characteristics like Resolution ,Frame rate and Codec..This feature works Flawlessly for me with Every format even Mpeg2 files..But if fore some reason it still won"t work for you you can use Virtual Dub to frame serve all the files as a Movie to Tmpgenc...

I understand the sequencial naming, but does this work with converting mpg's to a joinable mpg? I mean that i am taking mpeg files the cannot be joined to each other and converting them to mpg's with the program so that they can be joined. I named them that way, but it still only converted one video at a time.

What format are these MPEGs, MPEG1 or MPEG2?
Why would you want to reconvert them?
Simply join them all using the MERGE&CUT feature in the MPEGtools.

ASHY

I don't understand why, but they read as mpg files on the computer, but when i check their type with gspot, they read as an avi file. The avi files won't join in virtual dub, so i have to do this. Here are the reports from gspot:
Audio Visual Interleave (AVI), Video Media: 4cc: DX50. Video Codec: DivX Decoder Filter.

These files are infact MPEG4 files which are actually AVI's.
Confused?
Divx is MPEG4, but has an AVI wrapper, so these can be treated as AVI's and should have an AVI extension.
They will join in Virtualdub if you do it right and also in TMPG.

Follow Minions advice and it will work, but don'rt forget to click the CPU tab and check the 'Open sequence files as a movie' option.

ASHY

I am having this same problem, only not with batch encoding. I cannot load single mpeg4 avi files. How do I get them to load...also, tmpeg crashes when I try to load mpeg2 files....?
