Hi,
i wanted to convert an avi to a mpeg file. the avi works fine and i can hear the sound, but there is no sound in the converted mpeg. i tried some options with no success.
is it possible to copy a dvd to a cd, using lower bit rate, but keep same file format? my dvd player doesnt play vcds etc (never will i think)+ i have a few film on pc in divx + avi i would like to play on tv.
No ..You can"t Burn a file on a CD-R in DVD Format in an Attempt to play it on your DVD Player..Well you can But your Player will not play it ,The Format is called Mini DVD and Very Very Few Players will actually Play them and If your Player doesn"t support VCD"s or SVCD"s then I doubt that your Play supports Reading Video data from a CD-R...You should Maybe think of Getting a different DVD Player, you can get one that Plays VCD"s and SVCD"s for Under $99 canadian..
Here anyone having problems with these new xvids and ac3 audio's try these settings. Converted a good austin powers 3 and it was fine on vcd, not sure if that had ac3 tho. A lot easier than trying to re-encode the xvid to another avi formatt, plus when extracting ac3 sound to wav through virtual dub for die another day, it was very sketchy and jumped every few seconds. Havent tried converting die another day yet cos need to redownload but should be ok.
Just change the priorities as follows in your TMPGEnc->Options->Environmental Settings->VFAPI plug-in:
What do you think Tmpgenc Is For???? Why don"t you Post what your Problem is and Maybe we can help, or you can check out this site " http://www.vcdhelp.com/ "...
Yes..there are a Couple of Ways to try to do this..First you can try setting the "Video Arrange Method" to "Fullscreen Keep aspect Ratio" or you Can use the "Clip Frame" settings in the "Advanced settings" to remove the Black Bars on the top and bottom...
I find it impossible to convert xvid files with tmpeg.i can load the file and select where to splt it but then tmpeg just freezes,and will no longer operate without rebooting. i have spoken to friends who have the same problem.
When encoding in "3:2 pulldown when playback mode" mode, TMPGENC marks all frames as Progressive. This causes problem with some DVD players, for example JVC XV-S300BK: the image jumps down one line twice a second. I believe that according to MPEG2 standard, all frames with an RFF should be marked as interlaced.
Thanks, keep up the good work!
Well Lately I have been Ripping NTSC DVD"s and they Have been Comeing up as Progressive with a Frame rate of 29.970fps which I have never had Before and It has Been really confuseing me Cuz I usually load the File from the DVD into Tmpgenc"s Wizard to Judge the Correct Field order and they have been comeing up Progressive when they are 29.97fps NTSC DVD"s , in the Bitrate Viewer they come up as Frame baced not Field Baced and Progressive...Anyways to your Problem ,I guess You could Just encode it as 23.9fps and Use "Pulldown.exe" to Make it 29.97fps...
Thanks, I know that pulldown.exe does everything correctly. It would be nice if TMPGEnc could do that because after pulldown you have to mux manually. I think I will write a program that sets Interlaced flag in frames with RFF=1 to fix TMPGEnc mpegs. It should be easy to do using bbmpeg sources.
When I use TMPGEnc v.2.59 > MPEG Tools > Simple Multiplex at Type: MPEG-1 Video-VCD, load an mpg file, define the output and press the button [Run] a window comes up displaying:
"Outputting..."
and - next to an exclamation mark - "Multiplexing...".
This process takes about 3 minutes and then another window appears with the text:
"Warning...
92217 s packets cause buffer underflow
The MPG file might cause error when it played"
instead of the expected message:
"Rewriting header..."
after which the process would be finished.
The number in front of "s packets" varies with the input file. Apparently, the MPG produced in this way cannot be played on my standalone Philips 576 DVD-player hooked up to a widescreen TV. A software player however has no problems with this product file, not even Windows MediaPlayer 6.4.
Does anyone know what this error means and - more importantly - what I should do to avoid this phenomenon?
Help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks in advance.
It seems that the Mpeg video file you are trying to Multiplex as Not a Mpeg1 VCD file But Maybe Just a Plain Mpeg1 file,First try Multiplexing with the "Video-CD Non-Standard" setting and if you still get the error Try Muxing with the Plain "Mpeg1" setting..If the Plain Mpeg1 setting works you can change the header to a VCD header By loading the File into the "Merge & cut" and use the VCD setting there and Just run the file through and it will Put the correct header on the file and Not give you the error...
ive been testing a lot of movie converting programs lately and it annoyed the crap out of me when i couldnt seem to get a vcd functioning. First i tried VDub on the dat file but stops when importing the file and says "packet sync error on packet stream (3b92518)". so i tried using VCDGear to convert it to mpeg first but i still got the same error in VirtualDub. I'd really like to get it functioning since i now have 4 vcds thats currently not able to be played.. thnx in advance =)
Your Post Neglects to say What you are trying to do...Are you Ripping a DaT file off of a VCD Disk to a Mpeg1 file?? and If you are for what purpose?? Can you please Post some more information on what you are trying to do and What you are working with and Problem you are haveing...
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been answered before by Ashy, but I read the other posts, and didn't think my situation was the same.
I am having problems, as far as i can tell, with audio after creating a converted file. Here are my settings:
- DVD (NTSC)
- Mpeg-1 Layer II (Audio MP2) (I also tried Linear PCM audio)
- Non-Iterlaced
- 1:1 (VGA) (wasn't sure what setting it should be...default)
- Film Movie
I bypass the filter settings, and the length of the file reads at the top of the bitrate page as 73 minutes (it is only 24 minutes long). So I go back to the filter page, and select Source Range, and sent the start for the first frame of the file, and set the end frame for the last frame of the file.
I return to the Bitrate Settings page, and the file reads as 25 minutes (close enough). All the settings are default (with Auto On), and the bitrates for video and audio are selected.
I click Next and the file is set to save as .mpg...I start the encoding, and return when it is done. I open the new .mpg file with my WinMedia Player and the video runs fine, but there is no audio. I checked the settings as suggested in another post, and they are all set.
If anyone can help this newbie, i would greatly appriciate it!
Thanx,
bread
PS>> Earlier I tried encoding an m2v+wav (Linear PCM) file set, and had the same results with the wav file not playing.
You Told us What you are encodeing to But you didn"t tell us what you are encodeing, What is the source file you are encodeing??? Is it an AVI file you downloaded Or are you encodeing Vob files From a DVD??? what ever it is it seems that the audio format in the file you are encodeing is Not of a format that is supported in Tmpgenc, if it is an AVI file you are encodeing you Probably need to Extract the audio from the avi file to a WAV file and use it as the audio source and if you are encodeing a VOB file from a DVD then you need to load the VOB file into DVD2AVI and frame sere the VoB file to Tmpgenc with a D2V file and use it to decode the audio to a WAV file to use as the audio source...
Oh, sorry, yes, it is an avi file. So are you saying that I need to extract the audio as a wav prior to using TMPGEnc? If i select PCM audio, it creates a wav file, but i need to have a wav file before the encoding?
Trying to make a vcd from small video clips from my digital camera tmpgenc won´t open the files. Why? I haven´t done anything with the files, just downloaded from the camera to the hard disc. It works with Arcsoft videoimpression, bundled with the camera, but I don,t like that program.
