is it possible to allow other resolutions like 480x576, its very annoying to patch my dvb files before importing and patch them back again.
especially because this program is so useful for dvb captures because you can cut out the commercials with it.
I agree fully. I use Ulead Movie Factory 2 because I can "fool" it by patching the first MPEG header resolution entry. Doing so with Tmpgenc Author will result in a GOP error, using 480x576 (unpatched) will generate an error also at last step.
So it will be a very good idea to give the user an option like "Ignore resolution entries" or similar.
I recently upgraded to Premiere 6.5 has anyone tried using Avisynth frameserver to TMPGEnc. I was using this with Premiere 6.0 and it was working really well. Do i use the same Avisynth file to use for Premiere 6.5.
What should my VFAPI settings be for encoding an AVI file made with the Microsoft Movie Maker 2 application on Windows XP? I'm having problems with my VBR audio track coming out choppy and I'm trying to narrow down the problem...
Tmpgenc does not Support VBR Audio as the Source audio so that is why you are Haveing Problems, You will need to use something else to Proscess the audio...
That is strange I have been useing Tmpgenc since it came out and on this BBS Forever and Have Never seen a Setting in or even heard of a Setting in Tmpgenc that Makes VBR audio..Can you please Tell me were the VBR audio setting is??? ThanX
I'm just trying to make VBR video and the PCM .wav file that results is choppy and I can't figure out why. Last night I encoded the same .avi file in CBR mode, and the .wav file was still messed up in the same way, so it has nothing to do with VBR.
What VFAPI plug-in should be used for Microsoft Movie Maker? What are the optimal settings for the VFAPI plugins?
OHhhh the VBR you are Talking about Has absolutly Nothing to Do with the Audio, I guess when you said "Haveing Problems with my VBR audio Track" was some Sort of Typo?? Because the Video is VBR will have absolutly No effect on the Audio, and either will the VFAPI Plugin settings Accept for the "Wav File reader" and that only affects Wav audio as the Source audio..If you are Getting Choppy audio when Playing on your Computer then That could be from Poor Sample Rate Conversion, that is if you are Doing any Sample Rate conversion, if so then go to "Options" to "Enviromental settings" to "Audio engine" and Check the "High Quality" setting under "Sample frequency Converter"..The Built in Audio encoder in Tmpgenc is Not that good so you would Get better results if you Used one of Tmpgenc"s External Audio encoders like "Toolame" or SCMPX" or use a Total seperate audio encoder, the External audio encoder can be downloaded off of the Net for free and you can find them by doing a Search on Google for them and you install then in the "Audio Engine" tab in the "Enviromental settings"..The VFAPI Plugins that effect the decodeing of DV AVI files are the "AVI VFW Compatibility Reader" and the "AVI(OpenDML)File reader" depending on if the DV File is Type 1 or Type 2, if the Audio in the DV AVI File is DV audio then one of these Vfapi Plugins Might have an effect on the audio but if you are Getting Audio But it is Just Bad Quality then it Probably is Not a VFAPI Problem..Have you tried Loading in your DV File then going to "File" to "Output to " then "Wav" and extracting the audio before you encode the Video and see if the Audio Quality is any Different(Beter/Worse)??
Hi- Thanks for understanding and sorry for being unclear. I tried the File menu option to convert the .avi to a .wav and it worked well. This is a good workaround because now I can just replace the .wav that came when I did the video conversion. I was unaware of the menu option to be able to rip the audio without doing the video. For experiment sake, I'll try to turn up the audio quality and see if it works during a video conversion...
Guys, I cannot get the video to stream to a single finished mpeg file
when using the tmpg wizard to convert mpg or avi files to DVD quality.
The box that you uncheck on the last stage of the wizard is grayed out
and I cannot unselect it.
What exectly do you mean?? Are you saying that you are Getting a M2v and a Wav audio file instead of a Mpeg file after encodeing??? If this is the Case then that is Normal, You are supposed to use your DVD authoring Program to Join the Audio and Video together and Format the Files so they can be burned to a DVD, You will only get a Single Mpeg file if you choose Mpeg1 Layer 2 audio as the Output audio format...
Mov files have allways been supported in Tmpgenc, You need the QT Mov vfapi Plugin for Tmpgenc to accept the Mov files, you can download the Plugin in the "Tools" section at "www.dvdrhelp.com"...
I use the latest version of TmpgEnc DVD Author.
I am Importing 2 video streams (vcd format)and
than create a dvd folder.
When bruning it to DVD, the audio and video are out of sync.
I tried this with other DVD authoring software and no problems occured
i can confirm this, the resampling from 44.1 to 48 khz causes desyncronisation.
if i convert the sound before with tmpegenc and then import it the sync is ok.
Just upgraded to 2.511 only to find that it is unable to open D2V files when using the VFP file that comes with dvd2avi 1.77.3 if i use the one that shipped with 1.76 all is fine. Anyone else experience this???
You shouldn"t have a Problem as I have used the 1.77 version before without a Problem, Make sure that the DVD2AVI.vfp Plugin shows up in the Vfapi Plugins..But if you can"t get it to work then just use the 1.76 version, There is No advantage useing 1.77 over 1.76, because it is newer don"t mean it is better....
I don't use smart ripper and am currently not converting Box but SVCD mpgs created using VCDGear 2.511 will also no longer open these mpegs. even though 2.59 does and they are both running on the same pc with the same settings and codecs availible to them.
when i have encoded from avi to dvd the picture quality is very good but will stutter in parts. The sound carrys on as normal.Is there a setting to change to help this problem.Have raised direct show to 1.
Jurkey Video is usually from one of 3 things, (1) You have either encoded the AVI File to the Wrong Frame rate, You have to encode the File to the same Frame rate as the AVI file, so if the AVI File has a Frame rate of 25fps then the mpeg file has to have 25fps..or (2) You have the set Wrong field order, this will Give a studering effect when the Camera Pans or there is a Lot of movement on the screen..(3) You are experienceing Bitrate spikes, But this usually would not be a Problem with DVD Files...
NO..I guess you Didn"t understand what I meant By Cut them out, You cut Off the Bottom of the Screen were the Subtitles are Displayed, You do this By useing the "Clip Frame" setting in the "Advanced" settings..You click the "Settings" Button, then you go to "Advanced" then you Double Click "Clip Frame" and there are a Bunch of settings there that you can use to Clip off the Bottom of the screen, it is Very easy to figure out even a Monkey can do it ...
Does this Happen with every File you encode or Just a Certain File?? As the Problem is probably with the File as opposed to the new version of Tmpgenc...
Do you by any chance have multiple CPUs or a Hyperthreading CPUs? I've been having hang problems too since I upgraded to 5.11. As a workaround, I've been turning off multithreading.
The same. It either freezes somewhere in the middle of the encoding (at different places) or pops up a message box "Read error at address xxxx". I have single AthlonXP CPU, nevertheless playing with the settings did not help. I use the program to convert PAL DV to PAL VCD.
>Does this Happen with every File you encode or Just a Certain File?? As the Problem is probably with the File as opposed to the new version of Tmpgenc...
It may hang with different files. Strange enough: If I restart the encoding a couple of times, the encoding may finally succeed.
(I do frame serving with Avisynth 2.08 and dvd2avi *.d2s project file)
>Do you by any chance have multiple CPUs or a Hyperthreading CPUs? I've been having hang problems too since I upgraded to 5.11. As a workaround, I've been turning off multithreading.
Windows XP home. Single CPU. Hyperthreading: not as I know.
I tryed to convert it to normal SVCD PAL (25 frames/sec) with TMPGenc Wizzard (CQ 75).
After TMPGenc was finished, i took a look on the result and every second 2 frames were repeaten. So the Movie can be only watched when i'm drunk enough for a enless repeat of 2 frames every second...
Is there an option to fix that and to keep audio/video sync?
Your File is Probably 23.97Fps not 23fps..There are a Few ways to go about this, you can use AVISynth to frameserve the file to Tmpgenc and get AVISynth to Change the Framerate, you Can encode your File to 25fps in Tmpgenc and just check the "Do Not Frame Rate Convert" setting in the Advanced Tab, But this will Make your Audio out of sync Because the Video will Be about 4% Shorter, so you would have to use a audio editor Like Cool edit or Sound Forge to shrink the File by about 4% or to the exact same length as the Video then when the audio has been adjusted you encode it to mpeg audio and then mux it with the Video..And the last option is to use a Program that can Do a Proper NTSC/Pal conversion like Procoder, or many Video editing apps can do it well also like Vegas Video 4 and Premier, either way you decode to do it you will need a Pretty Good understanding of How video works and how to use the Various Software....good Luck
1) Yes, you'r right, the fps is 23.9... not 23... means ntsc-film.
2) Ever heard of DVD2SVCD Bundle? Just check as input AVI, check the NTSC2PAL box, click on Go and after some hours i got a fine PAL SVCD with 25 frames and synth audio without double frames every second.
I'm compressing MPEG1 for CD-ROM at 320x240 using deinterlace. Tried different source files (720x480 DV) or (640x320 Uncompressed) and the result has jagged edges around figures. If i double the size in Windows Media 200% everything looks good. I found some other MPEG1's on the Internet that look fine at the same size. So must be a compression issue. I have tried all combinations of aspect ratio, field order, etc..
First off there is No need to use the De-Interlace when useing Mpeg1 because Mpeg1 is Progressive..And I think the Jagged edges thing is a Media Player Problem, I get the Same effect when useing it to watch files but not when I use other Players like "Power DVD", I notice I get the Jagged edges when watching in a Small Window But in a Big window they disapear...
320x240 always looks crap with jagged edges on the PC no matter what software you use. The effect wasn't so bad in Win98/Me, but in XP it just look awful.
I suppose it also has to do with your graphics card too and how good it's antialiasing features are.
I have a now dated NVIDIA TNT2 which aint too good at antialising.
These sort of MPEGs usually look a lot better in the DVD player and don't have jagged edges.
