What is it with TMPG and new versions?!
Every time a new version gets introduced something gets broken.
I have discovered that the Ac3 filter which I used with TMPG now doesn't work as of version 2.57 and I don't seem to be able to find one which does.
Has anyone managed to find an Ac3 filter which works with the new versions?
Well it could be because you are converting the sample rate to 48khz.
TMPG does not have the best sample rate converter around.
Try and use Virtualdub to convert the samplerate to a 48khz wav and make sure you check the 'high quality' box.
When done check the length of the audio compared to the original audio length. If they are the same you should be ok.
I'm using a dual-intel-board (Abit VP6) with 2 x P-III/1.000. In the task-manager both CPUs are working - but together the CPUs does not work more than 50-56%.
Why does TMPGenc not use the full CPU-power?
Thx,
Reinhard
P.S.: I'm using W2K, the Canopus-NLE-SW does use both CPUs to 100%.
btw...the audio in the avi must be as good as the wav....its just that using the avi as a sound source for tmpgenc may result in some loss of sound quality or even missing sound in the resulting mpg.....
The sound quality will depend on the player you are using to decode it.
If for instance if you are using Mediaplayer to play back the AVI and this AVI has AC3 audio or MP3 then it is likely you are using a crap Ac3/Mp3 decoder with Mediaplayer.
Whereas the Wav decoder which media player is using is much better and therefore seems to produce better results.
In reality a decompressed or compressed file will always result in some quality loss not an improvement, it's just how you choose to decode it that makes a difference.

No, my audio is not AC3 or MP3 - it is a 32kHz stereo-pcm-audio from a video-camera, captured with a Canopus NLE-card. Other guys with a newer cam reported the same problem with 48 kHz-cams/audio.
Hello, I am attempting to encode the BMW quicktime movies. I have the QTReader.vfp file and completed encoding the films to mpeg-2. I then found that the entire mpeg-2 file is just the title screen of the movie including the quicktime player. I have quicktime 6 and am new to the TMPGEnc program. I would appreciate any help I could get. Thank you,

Why Not Just make your Own Templates with Different Settings???Then you just open Tmpgenc and load the template with all the settings you want...as Far as I know there isn"t a command line command for doing that...
Do you want to Know what it is or do you want to get rid of a
"P3P Package.dll" Error???? The P3P Package optimizes Tmpgenc for the Pentium 3 Proscessor....But if you are getting a P3P Package error then it is probably because you don"t have all the Tmpgenc files in the Same Folder...All the Files that came in the original Zip file you downloaded have to be in a Folder and all in the Same Folder, and One of those Files has to be the "P3P Package.DLL" file...
its a file that comes with tmpgenc....if yours is missing then either is got deleted or put in the wrong folder somehow....just download tmpgenc again and unzip the zip file into a single folder....and u will have all the files u need
I made a MPEG2 with TMPGEnc and loaded in in the merge/cut tool. It makes the video clip just fine, but deletes the audio. Is that a way to correct this??????????
Here's the problem...the avi you have most likely has the audio track stored in mp3 format, which TMPEGEnc can't decode. You'll need a program that will covert the audio track into PCM...this can take about 30 minutes in my experience !!
Go to http://www.divx-digest.com/software/avi2vcd.html to get the tool !!!
The avi size will probably increase by about 60%, but once you've done this...MPEGEnc should be sweet !!!
Sory Grant But I thing you read his question Wrong....His problem is he Is looseing the audio when useing the Merge & Cut tool...this is Just one of those problems with the Mpeg tools..They just aren"t reading or writeing the audio in this Particular Mpeg file and There is No Magic setting that I know that will Fix it..So My Advice is to Use a Different Mpeg editor, I would recomend "Mpeg2VCR" you can download a full But older version of it at "h**p://www.apachez.net/....
Is it possible to embed your logo intot he mpg files, for example i want my BMP logo to be displayed witht he movie at all times, sort of an overlay. is this possible, if so, can someone please tell me how to do that. please email me at webmaster@walia.com
Is there any software that can display all the info about a file, whether it is mpeg1, mpeg2, avi, etc, and tell you everything about the file, the resolution, bitrate, etc?
sorry about the dumbness of this question, hopefully it is easy for you to answer...
i unzipped tmpgenc, and when i try to run it i get "The instruction at "0x100090af" referenced memory at "0x004a0000". The memory could not be "written". I have an Athlon 1900+, 256M of DDR-RAM, etc: my hardware should be good enough to run it, i think. anyone have any suggestions? (right now i just want to convert I420 to mpeg4--this will make it smaller, right?)
Lupy Is right ,You shouldn"t use Tmpgenc for this, even though it can do it with most files it isn"t what Tmpgenc is optimized for..You would get better results with "Virtual Dub" which is Freeware..And you might not be able to get it to work Cuz I think I420 is a YUV Format Whitch Tmpgenc doesn"t support...
>I think I420 is a YUV Format Which Tmpgenc doesn"t support...
What do you mean by this?
TMPG supports YUV but will convert YUV to RGB first when decoding the file as TMPG only accepts RGB as input.
If it didn't we wouldn't be able to encode most compressed AVI formats or import MPEGs.
As for encoding AVI's it is the codec being used which does the YUV encoding not TMPG itself, so there should be no problem in using TMPG to encode compressed AVI with YUV.
I mean When I try to Load in Uncompressed YUV or YUY2 tmpgenc will Not read it..At all..I can"t get it to Read YUY2 Mjpeg either..Then i read one Of Your Posts you are were complaining about Tmpgenc Not supporting YUV/YUY2 decodeing then I figured that was the Problem...Unless I mis-understood what you were talking about?...
Which uncompressed AVI codec are you using? You should have no problem loading uncompressed YUV into TMPG or YUY2 MJPEG either. Both work on my system.
When I was referring to TMPG not supporting YUV I meant directly.
TMPG is capable of opening any YUV format, but it must convert the YUV data to RGB first.
This slows things down considerably as decoding RGB data takes longer because of the extra data contained.
If TMPG didn't have to decode the YUV data to RGB it would speed things up because YUV contains half as much data to be decoded than RGB.
This is one reason why CCE is faster as it does direct YUV decoding of YUV formats.
As far as I'm concerned I can't understand why TMPG only supports RGB. Most modern codecs support YUV and converting to RGB has no beneficial effect.
I don"t use Any codec..That is what I mean By uncompressed, Capture card is set to YUY2 and the Codec is set to No Compression..The files are about 1.2gb per minute..Tmpgenc will load it But the Picture is Green,red,Blue and wierd shapes, But if I use a Avsynth Script and Use the Convert to RGB Command then it will accept it properly and encode it..I don"t have the same problem with CCE..It has Been like that on a Few different configurations so that is why I thought that tmpgenc couldnt do Raw YUY2 data.......
No idea what is going on there. Possibly a bad codec with a cheap card or maybe a wrong colour space setting. What is the capture card?
All capture cards capture to YUV and many people used uncompressed frames and have no similar problems.
I have just made a test capture at 768x576 uncompressed YUV using a WinTV Go capture card.
The results are fine when opened in TMPG. The only thing that is noticible is that the image is slighlty brighter than the original.
Apart from that no other artifacts are present.
I made several hundred vcd's but I am still trying to perfect the process. I would like to make SVCD's but my stand alone DVD is not compatible. A few of my VCD's have jumpy video(the video pauses for 1-3 seconds, then jumps ahead) The audio stays fine. It seems to happen more often towards the end of the movie. I have tried putting only 1 hour on each cd, since I have to use 2 anyway, but still have same problem. Any Ideas?
This is the way I make Vcd's!!!After ripping the vob files with Smart Ripper I use DVD2AVI to create my dv2 file for frameserving to TMPGEnc for the Video only. In Audio>Tracks>(select)NONE.
After opening the vob file(the first one) under video>FIELD Operaton>(Select)Force Film.then File>Save Project. This will create my dv2 file for the video in TMPGEnc.
Then I use VOB2Audio to create the Wav file.In TMPGENc I load the template for VideoCD NTSC FILM,change the motion search presision to HighQuality(slow), Highest quality doesn't do much but takes way longer.
Change the Video Arrange method to Full screen(keep AspectRatio2) in the advanced TAB
In Options>Enviromental Settings>External Tool, check external Audio Encoder Layer2and browse for your exe. for SCMPX(which I like better than TooLame for an external audio encoder).
Check USE by Sampling frequency converter and browse for exe. for SSRC(a good sample rate converter)
I get that sometimes also and I think it has to do with Bitrate spikes..So when the Disk is playing in the DVD Player all of a sudden the Bitrate spikes which meants the DVD Player has to suddenly speed up and usually it can speed up fast enough to make up for the jump in Bitrate so you notice the Video slow down the Catch up as the Disk start to catch up with the right speed of the Bitrate goes Back to normal..This is probably more common with DVD players that Only play VCD and Not SVCD..They put Faster Drives in DVD Players that Play SVCD Cuz SVCD has over twice as High of a Bitrate..Mine Plays VCD and SVCD and it Plays then Really well and it is a Total Cheapo Player ElectroHome DVD Player that I got at Costcos for $99 Canadian.....
