I am working on an Athlon 1.2Ghz machine, 640MB ram and Tmpgenc 2.59.47.155. When I try to encode a file into MPEG format for an SVCD it takes way too long to encode, say 14+ hours! I check the cpu useage and it it not using it at all (win2k). Sometimes it will encode at a good speed (1 hour of video takes about 1-1.5 hours to encode) for a short time, useing 90-100% of the CPU, then it suddenly drops to 1% and stays there.
I am running the same version of Tmpgenc on my Athlon XP 2100+ and it does not have these problems. The 2k machine with the problem is a fresh install with all updates. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
If I encode DVD MPG2 standard mpegs, put them on a couple of Cd's and take them to his place can I create a DVD from that?
He is using Apple's DVD Studio Pro and the way he currently uses it is the application merges separate video and audio streams. The QuickTime plug-in creates two separate streams, one for video and one for audio which DVDSP then imports and merges as part of the formatting process.
YES..well Probably...a mpeg file is a Mpeg file no matter if it is on a Apple or a PC...what might matter is if the language that the mpeg file is written in is compatible with APple..Well I think it should be Cuz Like I said a Mpeg file is a Mpeg file no matter what system it is on....
You know Ashy, i might have gone off the path a little, but the reason i asked about the whole "Divx/AVI" thing is that, I wanted to know, and learn how to create movies in all format, new and old. And since i have Tmpgenc, and it has an "avi" output, i really wanted to know basically how to use it to make a Divx file. It didn't have any listings of different types of forums to go to, it just said "TMPGEnc BBS" so i figured pretty much that meant anything goes.
But like i said i might have strayed off the path, but i still want to know how to use the avi function in TMPGEnc. The so called "on-line manual" that comes with the Plus version is kind of vague. I know all about codecs, it's just getting it (Divx Pro) to work with TMPGEnc,when the Divx Pro screen pops up, which i know how to get to come up. I just want to make sure i get my $48 bucks worth. Making a MPEG is no problem, i just want to go down my list a know how to do it all. Anyway, thanks for your help, and any links that you do have, will be greatly appreciated
OK, so i just got a DVD player that plays VCD, so if i use this program to make a VCD file, why does it just make a mpg file - will this play in the player? or does it need the .dat files etc to play VCD's - im just not sure how all this works. If someone could gimmie some advice, id appreciate it. thanks.
When tMPGEnc makes the MPEG file, that's just the first step. After that, you need to consider the CD burning software your going to use. Consider Nero by Ahead software. When you run it, you tell the wizard that you want a "VIDEO CD" and it pre-builds all of the needed directories and files (minus the actual movie). Then you drop the MPEG file into Nero's file window, Nero examines it for consistancy (and can rebuild if needed), then will burn the CD as a standard VCD. So tMPGEnc is half the job. You still need a package that will generate the VCD layout for you, and this is found in most popular burning programs. =)
Look, you realize that where you can cut is limited by what type of video you have right. It won't matter what tool you use. Some video (like DIVX) only store a keyframe every 300 frames if that's how it's setup in the codec. If you then try to edit it with anything, you're not going to cut anywhere but at one of those keyframes. Just a heads up. I have a feeling the video you are working with is the problem and NOT TMPGEnc.
I have a strange Problem.
Recently i installed Tmpgenc 2.59 und try to convert divX5 to SVCD (2 CD'S).
But the 4th window shows an estimated Filesize of 3 gig (400 % of an 700 MCB cd).
I can increase the average bitrate but not lower it, even in expert settings, the bitrate i.e. 800 isn't shown there it stays at 1600.
Can anybody explain why it isn't imposiible to lower the Bitrate?
ciao I
First off Don"t nescessarily Believe what Tmpgenc says the final file size is going to be Cuz It doesn"t seem that it is very accurate..Use a Bitrate Calculator...If you are trying to Lower the Bitrate down to 800kbs(Much to low unless you like Crappy Quality) you will need to Load the "Unlock.Mfc" Template from the Extra Folder then all the settings will be unlocked...at 1600KBS you should be able to Fit about "One Hour" of SVCD on a 700mb(800mb) CD-R with OK Quality, But if you lower it any more than that the Quality will get progressivly Worse and at 800kbs the Video will be hardly recognizeable as the movie you encoded...
Hi minion,
that's what I want to know, some times ago, I installed a previos release of tmpgenc and there I could reduce the bitrate as I need.
And now I thought I missed an option something like this.

Hi, I'm trying to use tmpgenc to encode an avi into mpeg, I've never had problems with doing this before, but now when I try and do it, after doing the first few frames it brings up a dialog box, that says error, and a couple of random numbers, eg 1 10016 or, 22556 3345772 if I click ok, it brings up another box with a different number after a few more seconds, whats going on? and can I change something to stop this? At the moment I'm just using the default settings to turn it into a pal SVCD.
You Might NOT Be able to Fit 83 minutes on a CD-R..Try to enable Overburning if Possoble..I have been able to burn 825mb with Overburning useing VCDEasy...But that is the most I have been able to burn On TDK Cd-R"s...
If You Want More Room, Look On Ebay. You Can Buy 90Min. Cdr's For Dirt Cheap. I've Bought A Couple Of Hundred Of Them, And They Work Great. Just Make Sure That You Use "Nero" And That Your CD-Burner Can Read The 90-Min CDR.You Have To Do An Overburn And Use "Disc-At-Once" Setting. Just Remember This, Because You Must Overburn When Going Over Past The "79:59 Min Mark.
Good Luck!
When I am encoding a movie with Tmpgenc Plus and I am using the 2 pass mode
on about half of the movies when it gets to 50 percent it stops and gives
invalid pointer error and once it gave error 65534 65536?
I am using a pentium 4 with 768 RDRAM and windows XP. Can someone help ?
I have been using Tmpgenc to encode AVI files captured from my SONY camcorder. I have been using Windows Video Maker to capture the DV. This has all been working well until I installed DVD2SVCD.
Tmpgenc no longer recognises AVI files that have been rendered within Windows Video Maker. If I render the AVI files within VideoStudio then Tmpgenc will recognise the file and encode.

What settings are you guys using to encode avi files to mpeg2?
I'm trying to encode some stuff that was shot in DV (NTSC). It's about 15 minutes in length. I was also curious about TMPG's VBR capabilities. I tried a couple test encoding but the resulting file was horrible.
