Help! Normally I've used DVD2AVI to create a .d2v file which I could simply import into TMPG and then encode the film.
Now suddenly after using the new 2.59 version I get the message "...cannot open or unsupported" whenever I try to import the file with the browse file button.
I've done this lots of time before and it always worked.
I've also checked this forum and set the options/evironmental settings/vfapi plugin/direct show...parameter to "2" - but no success.
Re-installing DVD2AVI and TMPG also changed nothing.
Any idea from the experts?
Help!

Copy DVD2AVI.VFP from DVD2AVI folder to TMPGenc.exe folder

ASHY

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. I'm getting error message "can not open or unsupported". I tried your suggestion and I moved the dvd2avi.vfp file to the TMPGenc folder, yet I'm still getting the same error message.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Well Go to The "Vfapi Plugins" and see if the DVD2AVI.vfp Plugin is Listed there, if it is Try Raiseing the Priority of it, and if that don"t work then try Makeing a New D2V file, and remember that you can not move or delete the Mpeg , Vob or D2V file untill after you have finnished encodeing the D2V file to Mpeg....

Thank you all - I've tried all you proposed, but the only change is that I don't have to switch to "*.* all files" in the selection box to select the d2v. Would it help to totally de-install TMPG including the registry entries (which I don't know)?

Any other suggestions?

The plugin must be installed into the TMPG folder in the same place as the TMPGenc.exe file and *NOT* in the plugins folder.

If the plugin is listed in the VFAPI plugins and you have raised it's priority then the problem must be with the d2v file itself.

Create another one with DVD2AVI from the Vobs and **DO NOT** move, rename or delete the VOB's, the d2v file or any of the folders associated with it.

ASHY

P.S. also make sure the plugin actually has a check next to it in the VFAPI plugins.

ASHY

Thank you very much for your efforts, Ashy! I had done all this before and checked and double-checked. Now - one hour later - I created a small d2v from a vob file and tried to import that - and suddenly it worked!
After that I tried to import a d2v that was created from another MPG2 file (and that was the case where I always failed before!) and now even this works again.!!
Perhaps this can help others who have the same problem although I have to admit that I don't understand why it works now...

regards to all who tried to help

Salut all!

#1.I'm trying to create a 4:3 PAL S-VCD wich is based on an AVI (DIVX 576x432) anime but there is a problem with the screen size. The picture is nicely and fully displayed (stereo sound is good too) but in the bottom of the TV screen, the top of the picture is displayed again. So the anime is displayed twice. I am a newbie with TMPEGenc plus 2.59 so i'm trying various screen size settings to fix this problem, but it takes many time. Maybe anyone can help me.

A>I used Windows Movie Maker in order to create chapters on the S-VCD (a PBC menu is created with Nero). The original AVI has been reencoded to a DV-AVI PAL 720x576 AVI file.

B>Last, the file is encoded to MPEG2 standard with TMPGenc2.59. A DVD PAL MPEG-2 704x576 CQ 65 mpeg file is produced.

C>This MPEG2 file is burned on a regular CD-R with Nero 5.5. The soft display a warning message : the file is not compatible with the Nero S-VCD standard. I select "unset compatible format" and burn it anyway.

The S-VCD work, including the PBC menu but the movie is displayed with a double screen...

#2.Moreover, does anyone knows if the next version of Nero will allow Schockwave SWF as background instead of the atcual BMP. It will be great if Ahead release this, we'll be able to realize animated menu like the DVD ones!

Anyway thanks for TMPEGenc plus that is a good tool.

Sorry for my english, i'm based in france.

Cool, i solve the problem by myself.

Appeared another one, bad decompression in complicated scenes.

I have to set the decompression rate manually...

I have two movies that are encoded mpeg1 with various parameters that are not correct for VCD. When I load up the video cd template and try to convert them the resulting movies are encoded correctly but the last 5+ minutes is cut off. What am I doing wrong? I opened the file with VirtualDub and the amount of frames is higher in vdub than what is listed in TMPGEnc but I have no idea how to resolve the issue...

I have this porblem too.. seems TMPGE gets confused if no audio stream present.. see http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=418719&highlight=tmpge+problem#418719

Might help...

How can i make chapters when I converting to Mpeg2 from Avi.
I want to choose how long it will be.
I know how to convert just this option I dont know.
Thanks

Use VCDEasy or TSCV to build your Chapters and burn the Disc.

I was used to TmpgEnc with win98se and had no real pb.

I now want to use it on win2000 pro sp3 in a simple user or upper user session. but the system refuse to launch the program.
(it works well when logged as administrator)

I tried to edit rights and security for the soft and for this user, but I don't found how to make it work. (I don't want to give admin right to lambda user!)

Is there something particular to configure I missed ?

Is it that TmpgEnc is so structured that it needs admin rights on each use ?


(sorry for my english, I don't practice very often )

Solved:
the pb was the temporary file pointing to a folder inside "My documents" which is a controled acces.
the solution is to choose an "all users" folder.

i'm very new to all this so please excuse me if this is a dumb question.

i used the merge tool under mpeg tools to merge two mpeg2 files but when i opened the newly created mpeg file, there was no sound. i'd appreciate any help you can offer.

thanks,
nick

Sometimes this Just happens For No reason ..What I would sugest is Get yourself a Real Mpeg editor and Joiner....

minion,

thanks for your input. you mentioned "real mpeg editors or joiners". any suggestions?

many thanks,

When converting say an SVCD to MPEG2 DVD, the sound quality has a sort of
metallic noise to it, and doesnt sound as good as the original.

Anyone Help?

Bad sample rate conversion.

ASHY

if this is so, how can ichange it?

If you are using v2.59 click Optiom>Enviromental setting>Audio engine. Where it says 'Conversion quality' check 'High quality'

This should solve your problem.
If not you can use an external encoder, SCMPX being the best one.

ASHY

Another note is that you do not need to re-encode the audio.

Just goto the MPEG tools and use the simple multiplexer. Load your new DVD MPEG into Video field and your SVCD MPEG into the Audio field, name the output,
Choose 'MPEG2 program(VBR)' as the stream type and click run.

A new file will be created with the new video and original audio.

Sorry ignore this, just realised you are creating DVD. The sound will have to be re-encoded to change the samplerate yo 48khz. Please follow the previous instructions, but you will only need to re-encode the audio part with TMPG then multiplex with the DVD MPEG.

I'm trying to go from SVCD to VCD and using DVD2AVI to create the .d2v file. When I try to open the d2v file as the video it says its not supported.

Have you copied the DVD2AVI.vfp into the TMPGEnc-Directory?

I'm having the same problem. I copied the dvd2avi.vfp file to the TMP folder and I'm still getting the same error message.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

If some onecould help me with my problem I would be very grateful as I am getting nowhere. I used the search function but my problem does not seem to be addressed.

I have two segmented files captured at 480x576 using Huffyuv under VirtualDub each of about 19 minutes each that I want to frameserve to TMPGEnc in order to create one 38 minute SVCD disk. As a newbie I understand that Avisynth is the best for joining such segmented files but I can not get all the avs scripts to load under TMPGEnc. (I normally frameserve a complete 38 minute segmented file using the VirtualDub Proxy.) Only some of them will load. Those involving segmented avi will not. They will run fine under VirtualDub but under Windows Media player 6 (Win98 default) the video and audio is out of sync, though they do run.

I have installed ReadAVS and unchecked all the plugins except Avisynth/VirtualDub script reader v0.1.

In essence, the following script will work:
AVISource("C:SafeCapture2.avi") + AVISource("C:Capture2.avi")


This script will not and I get the usual " . . . can not open or unsupported message."
AVISource("D:Disk3A.00.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.01.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.02.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.03.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.04.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.05.avi")

This is only a test for the first segmented file and it won't load, yet I used the same syntax as the script that will. As I said this script will load into VirtualDub and Windows Media Player. I have reinstalled both Avisynth and TMPGEnc.

If anyone could help I would be most grateful.

Forget AVISynth For this..Tmpgenc can now Load segmented files, as of Version 2.59 you just have to name your files like "File#001.avi ,File#002.avi ECT" and the files will load in order Just like AVISynth would do it..But you have to First open Tmpgenc and go to "Options" to "Enviromental settings" and Put a check in the box next to "Open Sequence files as Movie" and that is all you need to do and it will open segmented files with tmpgenc...

To Minion

Thank you for such a very prompt reply. I am using 2.59 and your instructions work beautifully. I spent two days trying to get it going and you solved it for me in minutes. I have a great deal of respect for people like you who spend your time freely helping others who, like me, lack your ability.

Thank you again.

I am trying to encode some anime that is a divx avi into a vcd format. i know i am doing it right because almost all of the files i convert work properly, but there are a few files that will convert from 200megs to an 850meg mpg file. is it a divx issue or tmpgenc issue. can anyone shine a loght on this.

thanx....

fenix

I understand what the Problem is...What is so strange about a 200MB DivX file going to a 850MB Mpeg file??? The Size of the Source File Has Nothing at all to do with what the size of the resulting Mpeg file, what Matters is How long the Source file is and The Bitrate used to encode the file to Mpeg....

i understand what you are saying, i should have put that it is an episode, anywhere from 20 to 24 minutes a piece. that is why i am confused about the size of the file....

help me, you seem to know what you are doing
