It Sure does work on XP, If you are loading Mpeg files into Tmpgenc you have to make sure that you have the proper Mpeg Decoder installed on your system..You need either the "Ligos" mpeg Decoder, or you need the "Cyberlink" Mpeg Decoder, if you have "Power DVD" then you should have the Cyberlink Decoder, sometimes De-Multiplexing the Mpeg file will get it to load in to Tmpgenc.......
Have you tried uninstalling TMPGEnc, downloading it again and re-installing ?
Failing that, make sure you don't have other applications running in the background and that you do not have screensavers or power management active
1. Bad source or codec
There may be error in the source movie or codec may be something wrong
2. Hardware error if you have different RAMs in your PC, or if your
system is unstable, the error may occure. Overclocking may cause it.
Even if you do not have any problem with other application, MPEG encoding
is one of most stressful work for PC, such error occures.
I'm having a similar problem. No offense, but this is a completely useless error message. It doesn't even indicate what program it is associated with; it just says ERROR. Since this is a free version and has been running well for me so far, I can't really complain too much, but if this ever came through my QA, it wouldn't have made it out without at least an indication of what application it's associated with, and that's the bare minimum. Anyway, asside from my design frustration, my error has a different number: -537403781 98304. It reoccurrs every few seconds when trying to encode a VCD mpeg from a DiVX source file. The source file runs perfectly fine in Media Player, I don't have any problems when running it through virtual dub, and I have re-downloaded and installed TMPGEnc (TMPGEnc-2.57.41.146-Free.zip) and still have the same problem. My machine is well maintained and I've never encountered a BSOD or any other stability problems, I shut down all other applications, and no powersave or screensaver is currently activated. All hardware in the machine is of the same make. I've run through this same scenario with similarly encoded source files, and this is the first out of 5 that I've run into an problem with, so I seriously doubt it's a problem with my machine, or configuration. The encode continues to run after I click OK on the message, but it the error just keeps coming up approximately every second of the source file. It's always the same error number. I'm assuming it's a problem with the source file, but so far have not been able to come up with any information or solutions, which makes me so frustrated with the vague error message. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
I actually stay awake all night and clik through all the pop up error... guess what?
the result is a completely useless file, it got no video or audio, just a blank screen with the same length as the source, imagine how frustrate i am now...
i also try shut it down and restart, it still pop up that same error, except it got the second number differently
After weeks of using the latest tmpgenc(with no succes by my pc keep locking up)
ive down graded to an older version of tmpgenc without the wizard with the nice feature that will encode to a certain % of cd space.
Is there a way of calculating how much mb the finished vcd or svcd file will be? and do options on tmpg like, sharpen edge/reduce gost and even motion shearch speed alter the amount of mb?. What im saying is is it possible to work out how big the ecoded file(s) will be before encoding?
many thanks
You can download a "Bitrate Calculator" to figure out what bitrate to use so you will be able to fit the movie on a CD-R..but if you are just doing Standard VCD"s then you can figure out the file size like this ,Each minute of Movie is 10MB of Mpeg file, for a Standard SVCD is 20MB per Minute...
I don't want it. Minion said that it may be what is causing my color distortion. And since I have not downloaded any smr codecs. Only Divx 5, Nimo Pack, and the codec that come with Windows ME. I don't always have the distortion and wanted to know if it was possible that I got the codec in the Nimo Pack and if so how to identify it and Kill it. :-)
And who says divx 5 isn't causing the problem?
Do i have to remind you that open divx is still in developement?
removing the codec isn't that hard.
it might removable with remove software (if it is in the list of installed software)
I should be in the list of installed codecs
in every windows version you can find it in the device manager>sound, video, game controllers>video codecs.
open the properties and you'll see what codecs are installed.
from within the properties you can remove codecs that cause problems.
What that does is remove the keys for that codec from the registry thus removing it from the OS, not from hd.
good luck
BTW, early releases of windows ME have the wmv7 codec instead of wmv8 which is a mpeg4 codec and that will screw up any hacked divx codec.
The WMV 7 codec is part of the mplayer installation.
Later versions have the wmv8 codec that doesn't bother with any hacked codecs.
Yes, It is called "Batch Encodeing" ..What you do is ,load in your file do the settings then go to "file" to "save project" and save the project file, then repeat for each file till they are all project files ,then go to "file" to "Batch encode" then load all the project file into the "Batch Encode" window" then click "run" and it will encode all the files in a row.
I am having some problems getting sound after encoding. If the source DVD is Dolby Digital 2 channel and I rip with Smartripper and DVD2AVI, the finished MPG created by TMPG looks and sounds fine. But if the source DVD is PCM, the resulting MPG looks good, but has no sound. I checked the wave file that DVD2AVI created, and it plays normally. Both DVD's were ripped to 48khz wav files. Any ideas?
hi ppl,
i recently encoded couple of episodes of animes in order to put them into VCD, but suddenly, when i encoded one episode, the size of the mpeg file became twice bigger than the original and there is no sound.
I read a article that i have to use virtual dub to extract bla bla bla... Even after i do that, the audio is like lagging, and the audio is not synched with the video.
P.S. I have a strong computer, so i don't think the comp is a problem in that case!
To fix the sound try using external tools. Download scmpx (free)and then go to options, environmental settings, external tools, layer 2, browse, and then select scmpx. Im not sure but maybe you dont have the right codecs for the sound to play. Try to download a nimo codec pack and see if that helps. Let me now if this helps.
The problem with out of sync sound when reencoding avi's usualy appears when the audio codec that is used is mp3 or an obscure codec taht is derived from that.
Mp3 audio doesn't provide interleave with video it was designed to be a audio only codec and mowadays most people use vbr mp3 to make matters worse.
A trick is used to interleave mp3 audio + video in .avi files. I always have sync problems with mp3 audio in avi.
Try reencoding the sound to pcm wav first and use that file as input for tmpgenc when encoding to vcd, chances are that might solve the problem.
Well, this may look like the weirdest suggestion you've ever heard, but... I have encountered the very same problem (files getting twice as bigger as they should be). I have discovered that TMPGEnc has troubles encoding AVI files longer than 2 GB (most probably 2 GB... I haven't tested it that thoroughly, but 1.5 GB was okay, while 2.9 GB was not). What TMPGEnc actually does is that it doubles the framerate (!) of the file, making the MPEG file effectively twice as longer... and, as an extra "bonus", audio dies after a while... The only solution to this problem I was able to find was to break the AVI file into several smaller files (each one under 2 GB) and later plan to merge the resulting MPEG files. Everything works just fine with AVIs smaller than 2 GB. Does this help?
When File/MPEG Tools/Merge&Cut/Add SVCD .mpg file/Edit, then an error occurs: "The DLL 'mplapx.dll' can not be loaded. OS Reports: The specified module cannot be found."
OS: Windows XP Prof.
TMPGEnc Version: 2.57
That happens with all the versions of TMPGEnc installed in my computer. The DLL doesn't exist in a different computer where all the TMPGEnc versions work fine. Both running WXP Pro.
hello everybody!
i really do hope that someone can help me solving this particular problem.
i´ve been encoding an avi file to a mpeg file,everything went rather well,except the fact that the audio is missing...
do i need to change some settings before encoding, as the mentioned file is originally italian with english subtitles?
also,what settings do i have to change,to be able to watch an encoded file in 16:9 on the tv set,because i have, of course, changed the ratio but on tv it looks far too streched!
thanks very much in advance,mia.
The audio in the avi file is probably unsupported in Tmpgenc, what you need to do is extract the audio from the avi file to a wav file with "virtual Dub" and use that as the audio source when encodeing....You can change the aspect ratio to 16:9, and watch it widescreen, if you can use the settings in the "Clip frame" feature to arrange it the way you want.
More a question for advanced users
does anyone know of a program that will allow me to check the headers of a vcd or svcd compliant mpeg?
for things like aspect ratio
Even let me change for instance aspect ratio without the need to reencode the whole thing?
Or add a comment to the header.
Up to now i've only done straight forward encoding, need to get in a bit deeper into the mpeg matter.
This might be what you are looking for ,there is a program called "Mpeged" that analizes the mpeg for aspect raitio and is supposed to be able to change certain aspect ratio"s, and gives lits of information on The mpeg"s properties.It is freeware and you can get it here: http://wessweb.tripod.com/mpeged/.
There is another cool tool called "DVD Patcher" it will let you patch in different header information on Mpeg files, like if you have a mpeg2/svcd file but the bitrate is to high to be svcd compliant so you can change the header so it says that the bitrate is say 2500kbs so your authoring program will accept it.You can change the aspect ratio bitrate and resolution Headers..It comes in handt for authoring programs that will only accept Totally compliant files..
I'm a newbie to video capturing and have a question about headers. I have a demo of DVDIt Pro and every time I try to write to a disk I get an error: "Each GOP header must be preceded by a sequence header." Basically, my encoder must set the header but I can't firgure out how with TMPGEnc. I have gone into the GOP settings and messed around, but no luck.
If anyone could point me into the right direction I'd appreciate it.
I have had numerous errors trying to encode files. I have several movie4s that were ripped from DVD's. These are in "letter box" format. I cannot set the input aspect ratio to anything other than 1:1 or I get all kinds of erros. The last one was a error box saying "-562303043 625056". This is of course usless. What do I do?
1:1 ratio is fine if the source is 4:3 it only means that you use the source as is.
if the ripped video is letterboxed 4:3, then use full screen without keeping aspect ratio
Then you set the output to 4:3 ratio and you should get a letterboxed 4:3 as output again.
but there might be something wrong with the source, if that is the case then forget it.
