Anonymous  2003-03-04 16:52:03 ( ID:yjytvlhkr4f )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I downloaded the new version 2.510.49.157.

I am trying to create a DVD format file from a MPEG. I specified the Video & Audio file.

After I click on Start, The program is closing itself after 10 min.

I even ran defrag before I started.

Any help is welcome.

Hi
Love TMPGenc, but recently been getting a quartz.dll error at different points while encoding .avi to mpeg. No idea where to start !
TIA
Jo


Ashy  2003-03-05 23:03:30 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What sort of file are you trying to encode? Is it XVID?
What operating system are you using?

ASHY


Jody  2003-03-06 06:44:56 ( ID:mk8pw3dua56 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi Ashy
I got it sorted, d/l and installed new quartz.dll file, turned off all power settings and background programs, and didn't touch machine while it encoded it worked perfectly. Only taken me a month with various problems but very happy with finished results!

Question - TE25 - source aspect ratio for PAL DV No.35095
Mia  2003-03-04 13:05:00 ( ID:5iq10kudfxm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am confused as to which setting I should use under "source aspect ratio" and hoping someone can help. The help file didn't give me much help and searching the sources on the web gave no final answer either.

My source material is 4:3 DV Avi at 720 x 576 PAL. I want to create SVCD and DVD-files (Mpeg-2).
Using the wizard, TMPGEnc automatically selects "4:3 625 line (PAL 704 x 576)", but I'm wondering if "4:3 625 line (PAL)" is the correct setting for my material?

How much of a difference will setting "4:3 625 line (PAL 704 x 576)" or "4:3 625 line (PAL)" make on the Aspect Ratio on the final Mpeg?

/Mia


Minion  2003-03-04 20:07:51 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Tmpgenc will usually analize the Source file and set the "Source Aspect Ratio" for you so if it automaticle sets it to that then that is Probably what the source aspect ratio is, Just encode it and see if it looks the way you want...


Mia  2003-03-05 00:19:11 ( ID:5iq10kudfxm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

My source files are 720 x 576. Not 704 x 576. I don't know what the AR difference is between these two resolutions. But it can't be too much.
I have encoded two files, one using "4:3 625 line (PAL 704 x 576)" and the other with "4:3 625 line (PAL)" and I could not see a difference with my bare eyes. I'd like to know for sure which one the author of TMPGEnc intended for use with 720 x 576 PAl files, though...


Minion  2003-03-05 07:38:46 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Generally speaking there is very Little Differance, and it is Mostly a Matter of Preferance, so if it looks good to you then go for it,..


Mia  2003-03-05 21:21:58 ( ID:5iq10kudfxm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks.
But which one is correct for 4:3 PAL DV material at 720 x 576?
If there is a difference, there must also be one setting that is right and one that is not..


Ashy  2003-03-05 23:48:25 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You should choose 4:3 625 line (PAL) for 4:3 720x576 sources not 4:3 625 line (PAL 704 x 576)

TMPG always seems to choose the wrong setting for this, but this causes a slight aspect ratio problem when encoding to VCD/SVCD because an 8 pixel padding region is added to either side of the video.

I don't really want to go into detail why, but for encoding 720x576 to SVCD/VCD 4:3 625 line (PAL)is the correct setting.

ASHY



Ashy  2003-03-06 00:27:13 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Sorry I need to correct myself here. I got this sorted out a while ago and I've got myself a bit mixed up.

I've just done some tests and what I just told should be the other way around.

If TMPG chooses 4:3 625 line (PAL 704 x 576) for your 720x576 source then this is correct not 4:3 625 line (PAL).

It is 4:3 625 line (PAL) which causes a slight aspect ratio problem when encoding to SVCD/DVD because an 8 pixel padding region is added to either side of the video.

You can see this effect in mediaplayer 7/8.

Encode 2 small test mpegs, one using 4:3 625 line (PAL 704 x 576) and the other 4:3 625 line (PAL).
Play your source movie in media player 7/8 at full screen and mark with your finger the edge of the image.
Now play your test encodes.

You will notice the first setting should more or less create an image exactly the same width as your source, but the latter setting creates a slightly narrower image than the source. To be exact 8 pixels either side narrower.

Hope this hasn't confused you cuz I nearly got myself a little confused with it.

Question - TE25 - help me Ashy and Minion No.35092
Pete  2003-03-04 11:22:39 ( ID:z.m5bpadjb2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I know the quality of the encoded mpg can never be as good as the avi, but i was wondering if there is a way other than increasing the bitrate, making the mpg as smooth as possible. I've tried messing about with the VFAPI settings, and that hasn't helped a great deal!

Could you please tell me possible methods of making my mpgs smooth. The mpg will be burnt to vcd, and must be playable on a PAL system.

Thanks


Minion  2003-03-04 20:12:07 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What do you mean by "Smooth"?? Does the File Play sort of Jumpy?? Make sure that your Source file is a Pal File cuz you can"t use Tmpgenc to encode a NTSC file to a Pal Mpeg file, doing so will cause your File to play Jumpy...


wcpaul  2003-03-04 20:56:59 ( ID:q7gr550x3gw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Don't throw all of Mpeg into the VCD bitrate catagory. The standard covers quality levels which far exceed any common AVI formats (high definition, etc).

It is a shame that even video professionals cling to the myth that DV is higher quality than Mpeg. This has hindered the development of a 4:2:2 consumer camera format which, at 15Mbs, would be better than 25Mbs DV.



Question - TE25 - Final MPEG will not play in XP No.35091
MaDDog  2003-03-04 10:42:05 ( ID:gvzp.ussib. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I just encoded an avi file to mpeg. I even selected the option shut down after finised encoding. Reason, I previously encoded the same file and when I tried to play it I could not get it to start. It seemed to be stuck on the last frame at the end of the movie but recognizing it as the start point. I know the entire movie was encoded since the final output size is 695 MB, but it will not start. I was using version 2.58.44.152, I just downloaded the upgrade v2.510.49 hopefully this is the fix to this problem. Can anyone tell me what happened or who I can fix this problem?

Thank You

When i try to convert from avis acquired by my pinnacle DV500 i get a lot of error windows like:

Then program crashes.

What can i do to avoid this? Do you think it will be useful to install canopus DV codec?
thank you!



Question - TE25 - re formating video No.35085
bucknaked  2003-03-04 05:05:14 ( ID:5d11mhsrkxr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

i have been trying to get an mpeg to burn properly for weeks now, it plays fine on the pc but keeps pausing when i burn to disc and play on the dvd player.
VCDEASY tells me its a non-mpeg1 audio stream (48000hz should be 44100)
also not the correct PAL format.
so i demuxed and put the audio and video in the source windows and went to settings/video and resized the pixels, went to audio and changed it to 44100 then hit start and nearly 4 hours later played it on the pc and it looks great.....except the video seems to lock up 10 minutes before the end while the audio keeps playing....WHY !!!!!!!
I cant understand why i cant burn something to disc (SVCD) that plays perfectly on the PC
Help please


Minion  2003-03-04 09:35:07 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If you just want to play it on your PC then why Make a SVCD??? if you are just going to watch it on your PC then you would be better off keeping it in the Format that it is allready in...and Usually Problems with the Frames freezing in the Mpeg file are due to Problems in the Source file not tmpgenc, and you will probably say that "the File plays fine on my PC so there can"t be anything wrong with the AVI file" but that doesn"t really matter, Media Players are made to skip over errors in Files were the encoder analizes every single frame and all it takes is one Bad frame and it can lock up on that one frame...


bucknaked  2003-03-05 00:58:28 ( ID:5d11mhsrkxr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

o.k thanks for reply, i tried to check it with mpeg corrector but it left an mpeg that i could do nothing with (realplayer told me i had no memory, vcdeasy wouldn't load it)
what would you recommend i check/fix it with ?
i don't want to keep it on the pc

Well then Just Burn the AVI to a Disk, and when you want to play it Just put it in your Disk drive and Play it..There is Nothing you can do to Fix the Mpeg file, You can try to Re-Encode the AVI to Mpeg if you want but there is No gaurantee that it will work this time either..

Question - TE25 - Tmpgenc wont run No.35081
Graeme  2003-03-04 00:32:28 ( ID:nsaxjv/ogca )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Having run Tmpgenc for a while now, after a crash during processing, Tmpgenc now wont start.
The problem began with the program starting and at starting processing it generated an error "Read error occured at address XXXXXXX of module KERNEL32.dll with XXXXXXX".
It has now progressed to the program not running at all. Upon starting the program an error of "Read error occured at address BF7A125 of module KERNEL32.dll with 0078FFAC".
I have tried all the usual things like deleting the program and reinstalling it, but with no result.

Any suggestions Pleaseeee

It sounds Like Possibly you have a corrupted File in your opperateing system, Go here : http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?kernel32 and download the Kernel32.dll file and replace it with the One on your Computer and see if that helps, If it doesn"t then I Don"t Know what it could be...



Question - TE25 - how do you get audio out of an asf file??? No.35074
tom  2003-03-04 00:09:47 ( ID:12kuykh8tkw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I've got 52 episodes of the sopranos, but 5 of them I have are ASF files and I cannot get audio out of them from tmpg or vdub. Vdub actually says they took asf capabilities out of the program because of a copyright infringement against microsoft. Any clues??????????


Minion  2003-03-04 01:40:08 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What I use to extract the audio from ASF/WMV files is to use "DB Power AMP" to extract it or use it to directly encode the audio to Mp2 audio, But make sure you download the appropriate DB Power AMP Codecs....


ocj  2003-03-04 02:36:26 ( ID:h/v5gmnayao )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just use virtualdub 1.3c and use direct stream copy for audio and video then save the file as an avi and u can use tmpgenc for the new avi file.It usually works flawlessly unless the asf is damaged or improperly encoded.

that version is easily available just search yahoo "virtualdub 1.3c"


Minion  2003-03-04 09:16:51 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have tried the Virtual Dub ASF and I couldn"t get it to work with ASF files(Even though that is what it is supposed to be for) I kept getting a error something like "Couldn"t find Decompressor" or something, But if you want to try it you can get it here : http://www.apachez.net/


ocj  2003-03-04 14:40:23 ( ID:h/v5gmnayao )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

for some asf files u need a voxware codec for audio i think

the only way i could get that codec was by using real one player to play the file and then the codec was downloaded automatically so i could play the file.

You need the voxware codec to decompress the audio but if you can hear the audio from the file then you may already have the codec and the error you have is something else


tom  2003-03-04 18:59:17 ( ID:xguguaxyrll )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for all the help guys. I followed minions first set of instructions and downloaded the db power amp codecs, restarted my computer, put the video back into tmpg and audio showed up. Glad I didn't have to use vdub, although i have downloaded 1.3 just in case. Minion are you the programmer of tmpg or what? you know everything, so you don't even need to be on this site, yet you've helped more people than i can imagine. Thanx for all the unselfishness.


xxx  2003-03-04 19:15:02 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

ASF uses windows media audio which should be installed by default with mediaplayer.
You can use Graphedit to extract the audio to a wav if you know how to use it or ASF tools to convert it to AVI, but I would try DBpoweramp first.

Question - TE25 - avi file unsupported when set to video source No.35072
mist  2003-03-03 23:51:30 ( ID:zjthudbhkjh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I want to convert an avi to mpeg but when i set the avi file to the video
source it sais that the file is unsupported.
I tryed to raise the priority of the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader to 2
as suggested here but it crashed instead.

How can i fix that problem?

thx in advance.


Minion  2003-03-04 01:37:16 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Try it at "1" instead of "2"..And if that doesn"t work then make sure you have the correct codec installed and you can try Frameserveing the File with "Virtual Dub", if the AVI File is a Xvid File then try installing the FFDshow Filter/Codec and it helps with Decodeing Xvid Files and DivX files : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53761&release_id=131530 .

If I create a .d2v file with DVD2AVI and try and open it in TMPGEnc in XP
it tells me the file is not supported.

When I open the same file in Win98 it opens the file.
Can anybody help, I am getting sick of having to reboot everytime I want to encode a file.

AMD XP 200+ Processor

Copy the DVD2AVI.vfp file from your DVD2AVI folder to your TMPG folder.
If you still have problems, raise the priority of the DVD2AVI project file rerader to '2' in the VFAPI plugins.
