"it is known that TMPG's muxer does not create 100% VCD 2.0 whitebook MPEGs."
Is this why Easy VCD gives its error stating "improper VCD format not usually a problem normaly a indicator that TMPGenc was used"?
Also why doesnt the author fix this? Can you shed some light on this.
Thanks ~NewtronX
--------------------------------------------------------
Yes I believe this is why VCDeasy produces the error.
It is not the actual files which are at fault, but the way TMPG multiplexes.
VCD's have strict constraints.
If the muxer doesn't conform to these constraints when writing headers then a less than tolerant VCD player will reject the file.
Most DVD players won't have a problem it's only strict VCD players which have this problem.
I don't know why the author doesn't fix this, maybe he believes it's not his problem as most players will handle TMPG files ok.
Here is some ifo as to why a muxer may not be compliant, but I can't tell you the exact reason TMPG doesn't comply. http://www.icdia.org/cdprosupport/encoding/pink/mpeg_bytes.htm

That is a Bit wierd Cuz I use the Tmpgenc Muxer all the time and have never gotten that message in VCD easy with Strictly Tmpgenc Muxed files ,Then again i don"t make files with VCD headers or files with SVCD headers I just use plain Mpeg2 files..So I guess this is Mostly a VCD header problem...
Think Your right Minion :)
"i don"t make files with VCD headers or files with SVCD headers I just use plain Mpeg2 files..So I guess this is Mostly a VCD header problem..."
Since I always make VCD's and it gives me the error may be your right.:)
Can you explain what the header problem could be that makes Easy VCD have this error. I dont know enough how the header is constructed for a 100% VCD 2.0 whitebook MPEGs.
Thanks ~NewtronX
i just downloaded TMPGEnc version 12h (0.11.26.110) and i don't know how to use it =( i want to burn the movies that i downloaded from kazaa and burn so i could watch it on TV, or at least burn it so that it won't take so my movies won't take so much space in my computer. one time i burn a movie into a disk but when i played it again in my computer to see if it's working, i couldn't see the video but i could hear the audio...
please help!?!
1.) Can you play the downloaded file and see video and hear audio? IF you cannot see the Video, you need to download the DivX 5.0 Codec and you may also want to find the Nemo Codec and downlaod it. That should work.
2.) I recommend going to www.vcdhelp.com and looking there for Newbie guides, How-To Guide, etc. It is a great resource, and where I got started in all of this stuff. SPend some time and research there. Then, if you have questions about the stuff you find, ask more detailed questions then.
First off the Old version you have is really OLD and Tmpgenc has greatly improoved since then so it would be adviseable to use a Newer version Cuz if the speed and Quality differances and also the compatibility issue...and encodeing to Mpeg in most cases will make the file BIGGER not smaller..If you you can watch the video before encodeing it But cant see a picture while encodeing and there is no Picture in the mpeg file it Doesn"t have anything to do with the DivX 5 codec at all..It has to do with the "Direct Show File Reader" not at a High enough Priority..Go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "Direct Show" to "2"...
When converting some avi files to mpeg, tmpg reports the file play time to be alot longer then the actual play time. currently trying to convert a file with playtime of 1:41:56 and tmpg thinks its 2:59:16
Is it a problem with the avi files header?
Is there a way to repair it.
Thanks for any and all help
I have been using TMPGEnc to convert .AVI to .MPG for quite a while. I have converted probably 200 files with no problems yet, all on WinXP Pro machines.
I just built a new PC, WinXP Pro, AMD XP2100+ with 120GB HDD and 512MB DDRpc2700. WHen I try to run TMPGEnc with it to convert the movies, it locks up after about 3 minutes. Completely freezes the machine, I have to Reset and Reboot.
ANy ideas what might cause this? It is not the movie, as I can take a movie that will not work on teh new PC and it will work fine on the old one.
You are probably haveing problems with the Sequence header not being before each GOP...go to "Settings" to "GOP" and were it says "Interval of Sequence header" put it to "1"....
I have been using TMPGEnc and I'm not sure which size to use. Is it 1:1(VGA) or 4:3(NTSC)? I want to burn the MPEG file onto a VCD so I can view it on TV. Well, I have been using the 4:3(NTSC) size and when I burned it onto a VCD using Nero, some of the top, left, right, and bottom portions have been chopped off from the TV.
The movie I was encoding had subtitles on it. When it was viewed on the TV, the subtitled went below the TV screen. Why is this? How can I fix this?
Hi there!
1:1 is normal TV. 4:3 is some widescreen and most laptop size. 16:9 is widescreen. I do all mine at 4:3 and on a normal TV it might be a bit squashed but is all there. On a widescreen (mine) its fine. I use pal but it should be the same. So it all depends on what you want to view it on (and in the case of 1:1 what it was originally ie Letterbox)
I think you are off there "4:3" is Normal TV 16:9 is widescreen and useing the 1:1 settings uses the same aspect ratio as the file you are loading in so there will be no aspect ratio change from the file you are encodeing, so if the file you want to encode has a aspect ratio different than the ones that are selectable then useing the "1:1" will use the aspect ratio of the source file...
I'm using VirtualDub to capture video. And, as you probably know, VD generates several files with the extensions .00 .01 .02 .03 and so on..
How do i select all these files and compress it into One file?
Do I have to merge them together afterwards or? When I merge files there seems
to be a audio-click/tick at the mergepoint.. So i rather select all the files
at once to encode into one nice mpg-file! :) Is this possible?
Use the "Append AVI" function in Virtual Dub to load all the avi files into V-Dub in the correct order then Frame serve the files to Tmpgenc and it will encode then into 1 big file....
If you created these segments with Virtualdub then there is no need to use the append function as Virtualdub adds a flag to these files and will load each subsequent segment automatically.
Open the first segment with Virtualdub and ensure 'automatically detect and load additional segments' is checked. Virtualdub will then load all segments as one file automatically.
Actually I ment encoding in TMPGEnc, and TMPGEnc doesn't seem to understand
that there are several files / a sequence of files to load..
My bad, I was unclear.
How do I "Frame serve" TMPGEnc from VDub then? Sounds advanced! :)
I have a 60 second .AVI file that I am trying to compress into a MPEG-1 file. No matter what bit-rate, size, etc, I try, keep getting the same file size- 10MB.
Click 'Load' then navigate to the 'extra' folder in your templates folder then double click 'unlock.mcf'
Next click Setting>System and change the stream setting to 'MPEG1 VCD(non standard)
If you aready have encoded the file with a lower bitrate then run the file through the TMPG simple multiplexer with the above setting. This will remove the padding which is being added to your file and will adjust the file size accordingly.
To know if there will be sound in the movie just do small test encode then play it back or go to the source range filter hand have a look at the audio graph.
