what setting do i tweak to get the sound and video in check with each other, i encoded a video with seperate audio source but the sound was few seconds behind the video, looked on faq but no joy
If it is a Few seconds out of sync then you have a pretty Big Problem, and the Problem probably is that your Audio file is a Different length than the Video file, check to see that the audio and video are same length before you encode them..
You have Got it all Wrong..I said the Length NOT the Size..Of cource the SIZE will be Different But the LENGTH should be the same..In Minutes and seconds and Milla-seconds Not Mega Bytes.....
Well if you have a Audio editor it will tell you ..or something Like the DB Power Amp Power Pack, But what should work is to Right click the File go to Properties and the length should be displayed, or if you load the audio file into Virtual Dun then go to "File" to "File Information" it should tell you...
IT isn"t Tmpgenc..You probably just have the Right Combination of filters installed to decode the file But it isn"t tmpgenc that is specificly supporting AC3...Or you just think the File has AC3 audio...
Minion is right you just have the right codec installed. Even with the right Ac3 filter installed it's still touch and go half of the time as to whether TMPG will open the file correctly.
Well if it works then use it ,But I"m sure that it will not be very consistant, and it Probably handle Real Domby 5.1 Cuz that has 5-6 audio chanels and I don"t think Tmpgenc has Downmixing functions...
When i encode my DivX or XviD they always come out with horrible video quality. Its not the source or "garbage in, garbage out", im just doing something horribly wrong. Anyone with good experiences converting from these format please do tell me what your steps are. Thanks in advance.
Generally if your AVI File has good Quality you should be able to get acceptable Quality Just by loading in your File and chooseing the SVCD template and encodeing it...There are No special setting or anything that to Make the Quality good unless the Source file has Bad Quality then you have to tweak a Few settings to get a Better result so there isn"t something special that we know that you don"t..And what exactly do you mean By Horrible Quality ??What exactly is wrong with the Files??? Just remember your Shouldn"t upsize the resolution of your source file, meaning if your Source file has a Resolution of 320+240 you shouldn"t make a SVCD out of it, that file would make a Better VCD..And allways encode to the Frame rate of your Source file, meaning if your File is a Pal file don"t encode it to NTSC or Visa versa..Maybe give us the specs of your Source file and how you are setting up Tmpgenc to encode it then maybe we can find something that you are doing wrong..If you are Haveing big problems you can e-mail me and I"ll try to help out if I can..
Well to do this you load in your File and look at the source aspect ratio then set the output aspect ratio to what the source aspect ratio is, then set the Resolution to what the resolution of you source file is..But if your Source file has a Resolution other than the Standard resolution for what you are trying to make (VCD/SVCD/DVD) it probably will not play on your DVD Player..and the Output resolution has to be divisible by 8 or Tmpgenc will give you an error....
It is Impossible to Have a Mpeg file with a Resolution that is not Divisable By 8..ALL Mpeg files have to have a Resolution divisible by 8 that is Part of the Mpeg standard, there is NO Way around it with ANY Encoder...
oh, ok. i didn't know that. so how do i pad my video with black to make it's resolution divisible by 8? i do not want to stretch or cut any part of my videos.
Well you can try This, set the Resolution to the Closest you can to the resolution of your source file but scale it up Not down, then under "Video arrange Method" set it to "Custom" then put in the resolution of your source file..This should just add a Black boarder for the extra pixels..If you made these files your self then next time choose a Resolution that conforms to Mpeg standards,...
The "Video CD Non-Standard" setting is for exactly for that ,Muxing Non-Standard VCD files, non-standard meaning vcd"s with Higher than Standard or Lower than VCD standard Bitrates..The regular VCD setting will not remove any Padding in the VCD stream or it will add Padding if the Bitrate is Lower than the VCD Standard..If you are useing the Multiplex to Change the header of a SVCD so you can Play it on a DVD Player that doesn"t play SVCD"s then you should use the "NON-Standard" setting because it sure isn"t a Standard VCD..But don"t you get a "Buffer Underflow" error when doing this????
Depends what you mean by choppy.
If it's at regular intervals then it is because you have changed the frame rate.
If it's random then it is either your burn speed which is too high, I always recommend 4x but try 8x if you wish or it is your bitrate which is too high.
When I go to convert an avi and I have everything ready to go, it starts showing the avi to be converted then I get a stream writing error. What does that mean and how can I stop it.
I think I have it fixed. For some reason when I convert an avi to mpeg i get the stream writing error. I close out the program and try again it works just fine. Must be a little bug. Thanks for the help
When I am rendering VCD and SVCD, I can choose VBR or CBR. Which one has a better quality when I play it back? Is there any other consideration for these like file size or encoding time?
converted a avi to mpeg, no sound, used avi2wav for sound and then tried to convert them together, but the end result was that sound was out of shync with the movie by a few seconds, how do i get round this???
