Hi there, I'm new using this program , and I have this problem, I'm trying to convert an AVI file to MPG so I can use it to create a dvd, but ... it finishes right (after 6 hours) but there is not audio on the file, using the wizard I see the audio is selected, what am I doing wrong?
thanks
The AVI is likely to contain AC3 audio which TMPG cannot decode without a relevent Ac3 decoder installed.
Virtualdub will NOT do it either as it doesn't support Ac3 unless you have Virtualdub_ac3.
Your best bet for decoding Ac3 in AVI to wav is to use AVImux which can handle many other audio formats without problem too.
The v2.59 changes state: "Chained files can be managed as one animation."
I'm at work and can't test this for the next 9 hours, but does this mean we can
finally create a single MPG from multiple AVI sources? Please say yes! :)
That is not the answer to his question, please try to stay on subject..
I too would like to know if that's what 2.59 features list means. I'm going to look into it now and if someone doesn't post first I'll be back later with the answer!

AFter using tmpgenc every now and then to convert avi files to vcd format, I've run into a problem on a new DivX file I received ... first, MediaPlayer (and the DivX Player) would only play the Video, but not Audio ... I then downloaded a codec pack (Nimo Build 8), which now let me play the DivX fine ... anyway, now tmpgenc won't even accept the DivX files it converted before ... what am I doing wrong here???
You probably just need to raise the priority of the "Direct Show" File reader..Go to "options" to "Enviromental settings" to "vfapi Plugins" and raise the "direct show" to "2"...But your Problem will Be the audio I think Because I think the Audio format Is AC3 , I think that Because Media Player wouldn"t play it Untill you Got the Nemo Pack, which Contains an AC3 filter so you can play AC3 on Media Player..tmpgenc can not read AC3 audio so you Will need to extract the AC3 to Wav from your DivX file..AVIMUX Can De-Mux the audio and uncompress it to WAV/Pcm Format then use that file for the audio in Tmpgenc....
Somehow, something is totally messed up now - even a file I was able to convert before can't be opened with tmpgenc right now! Keep getting "cannot be opened or unsupported" ... also, couldn't change the priority, tried to uncheck all but the directshow filter/codec ...
That is a pretty General Question don"t you think?? A Complete answer would Be Many Pages Long..Why don"t you Post the exact problem you are haveing in detail and then we can help you...And go here:http://www.vcdhelp.com/ ,there is lots of good information that will help you...
Well what works for me is to not use Tmpgenc for editing...The reason could be cuz the Mpeg file has a VBR stream which Tmpgenc doesn"t support the acurate editing of those types of files, or there might be some sort of error in the header of the file which you might be able to fix by de-mux and re-muxing the Files to rebuild the header..But sometimes it just doesn"t work properly so I use a Totally different editor, there is "Womble Mpeg2VCR which is a good editor But has a Bad habit of adding a lot of Data padding to the file..But M2-Edit Pro 5.0 is the one I use these dayd if I do any mpeg editing But I try to avoid it if possible cuz Mpeg files aren"t really meant to be edited..
good day,
ive tried converitn all my wmf and avi files into mpeg so that i can burn it as vcd. my problem is everytime i played it on my vcd player it won't work. the player reads only version 2.0 disc. can i do something about this? can Tmpgenc convert those saiod files into a vcd version 2.0? pls help.
thanx
How did you Burn the Mpeg/VCD file to Disk???Cuz if after you are don"e encodeing and the Mpeg file has Audio and video on it (you should watch it before burning it)then is should play ,that is if you Burned it correctly and your Player supports VCD...You Have to Burn VCD with Special Software that is Made for Burning VCD"s..You can"t Just Burn the Mpeg file to a disk with any software then play it...VCD v2.0 is Determined by your Burning program..VCDEasy Supports Both VCD V1&2 and SVCD and it is Freeware, It is a Good Program Cuz it also supports Chapters which are pretty Much manditory if you want to watch your VCD...
Over on the DirecTiVo hacking forum there is some discussion on multiplexing, editing and demultiplexing files that were encoded with variable frame rates.
It seems that the MPEG transmissions from DirecTV don't follow a consistent 29.97fps; the actual number of frames varies and is controlled by the presentation timestamps within the stream.
Unfortunately no MPEG editing or multiplexoing/demultiplexing tools seem to follow the timestamps properly, with the result that while these files play fine on both computers and DVD players, it's almost impossible to do accurate edits.
I was wondering whether TMPGenc could be fixed to handle variable frame rate?
As far as I know if the Mpeg file doesn"t has a constant frame rate then the file will go out of sync and will look jumpy while playing..But if you are just looking to edit the mpeg file then Tmpgenc isn"t really the Program to use Cuz it"s editor isn"t the greatest...
where do i go to download winzip?? i will try that and thanks for your help i just need to compress my avi file so i can send it ...it says its too large also want to send it in a nother format like mpeg??
thanks
ben
Well that is really strange that you don"t know about Compressed Files...lol...Well if you want to download WinZip you can get it here: http://www.winzip.com/ but seeing as a lot of Compressed files Are in RAR format it would be better to get "WINRAR" from here: http://www.rarlab.com/ it will uncompress ZIP and RAR files and other formats were WinZip will only do ZIP files...But as I said before encodeing your AVI files to Mpeg will in most cases NOT make the file smaller...If the File is say a DIVX/AVI or some other Mpeg4/avi format the file will get much bigger...Low Quality Mpeg is about 10mb per Minute, so if you do a Low quality encode if say a 2 hour AVI file the file will be 1200mb or 1.2gb....
I am enconding a avi video in SVCD format and after any seconds the programa isue a error -272762914 131072, if I confirm after any seconds the error is otherway.
My computer P4-2.4 Windows XP 512 Mg.
Your programa version (trial) 2.58.44.152
This seems to happen quite often with Files that are downloaded off the net..And as far as I know there isn"t really any solution for this accept not to use Files downloaded off the net, they usually get corrupted in some way through the downloading proscess...Or you can try to frame serve the file with say "Virtual Dub" or "AVISynth"..
The VFAPI Plugins Give Priority to certain File types for encodeing ..Without them you wouldn"t be able to encode anything at all..the only way to use Tmpgenc as a Encoder for media studio 6 is to use the "Ulead media Studio 6 Video server" which you would have to Buy from here "http://www.videotools.net/" it is a New product and It is still very buggy and it isn"t supported By ulead ...
Ok, So I used the TMPGEnc to turn my avi's into MPEG. But when I use my Roxio Easy Creator 5.0 VCD creator and tried opening it, I get a window with an X saying "the file, will not work in a VCD player. To make this file video CD compiant, you will need to use an MPEG encoder that supports Video CD encoding." Do I need to turn something on in my TMPGEnc program??? Please help? Thank you!
- DyNasty
Your Problem is Probably "EZ-CD-Creator" ALL Roxio Software is total Crap, and I would rather get kiked in the groin that be forced to use that Crap....Use something else to burn the VCD..Anything even "Nero" or VCDEasy"....
All of a sudden tooLAme will not work any more as a plug in audio encoder. **NOTE maenc did the same thing I just checked ???(*.mpa can not be opened, error message after just over 36000 frames aprox 14+ minutes worth of audio)at the same point on each attempt and even with different input files Windows crash message. It worked perfectly until all of a sudden no go.
I have uninstalled and re installed everything ,empited temp folder, tried different freq. converter,and encoder, more than once no go. Frame server
with DVD2AVI .d2v and .wav. (DVD to .vob with Smart Ripper) then (.vob to .d2v
and .wav with DVD2AVI) and frameserve to (TMPGEncPro for .mpa output) Worked
great for a while I dont know what or if I caused problem?
Any advise??
well Don"t use Tmpgenc to encode the audio...use something else like "Headac3he" or even "DB Power Amp", well if it worked before then it isn"t a problem with Tmpgenc or toolame But probably a Comflict with codecs or other programs you have installed on your system...
Well duh. But I thought someone else might have experienced this problem. If anyone is interested I moved the environmental settings general tab temp file to another directory,as a mater of fact to a different HD and all is as it should be again(not that there was a free space related problem)?? I like to encode .d2v+.wav to a system video+audio.mpg and let DVD Complete take it from there, very very good results. Anyway thanks for the input and response.
The same JUST happened to me last night, making a VCD NTSC Film.
TooLAME crashed, investigating if it will reoccur... This has never
happened before. 2.59??? I can't Project Wizard a VBR SVCD to
128 audio anymore..... What the!!!??
