How come when I converted this file with TMPGEnc the sound doesn't work? When played there audio for 1 sec and then it's gone throughout the show... please help
No encoding program is going to support real audio.
Real audio and real media files should be banished from the earth forever. They are just a pain and a now a pretty useless format.
Hi to all,
my problem is a dixv avi that won't encode to either vcd,svcd,dvd, tried everything sugested on the bbs & read all i can about converting avi to DVD, still no go. Have made many vcd & svcd with no probs, but just having a go at dvd. First time i tried encoding this file though!
It seems to be a problem with the file itself or a codec issue i think.
The avi is conmpressed with divx mpeg4 (low motion). checked for frame faults in vdub, vdub crashed saying error with divxc32.dll. I installed ffshow in tmpeg and increased direct show to 2, still no luck!Tmpgenc crashes and whole pc freezes have to re-boot, the thing is that this film plays all the way though in wmp! so wouldn't have thought there was a fault with it, is there something I'm not doing?
used all standard templates for vcd ,svcd and dvd.
Altered dvd .mcf to cq (70 or 80) 6000 max bitrate (5000 + 4000 too)non worked.
set DC component to 10, set matrix to mpeg standard, but nothing worked!
Is there a way to set all the font sizes? I am happy the all color feature was created but I have a dvd with nearly 100 chapters and its a real pain to change all the font sizes. I even created a theme with the correct size but it wont change the font size from default when I apply it.
I encoded 2 files for a 16/9 pal system. I want to make a dvd with tmpgenc dvd author.
The menu I get is always 4/3 and not 16/9. I have a 16/9 tv. So I have black borders on the sides or i loose the top and bottom of the menu.
Did i do something wrong?
The LSX encoder that comes with ULEAD Mediastudio 7 has almost no options, whatsoever...
Does anybody know what it is set for internally, so I can set TMPGEnc to mimic it and then tweak TMPGEnc. Currently DVDs burned with DVD compliant Mpeg2 video from ULEAD are the only ones that work in my DVD settop. Ones burned with TMPGEnc NTSC DVD template freeze and resume at certain parts in video or don't play at all.
I'm using VBR 8000kbps, field order a, DV-type1, interlaced, 4:3, 720x480, 29.97fps and have the NTSC-DVD field in Ulead's Mpeg2 settings picked, instead of standard MPEG2, although DVDs worked with standard MPEG2 selected, as well.
This is the TMPG BBS not the Ulead forum and you are still making multiple posts on the same subject, you have at least 9 on this page.
I for one am fed up with your willy nilly posting all over the place.
If you continue to multiple post I will request to have your IP banned.
Here's a tip for you.
Download bitrate viewer http://www.tecoltd.com/bitratev.htm then create a short clip with Ulead and create another with TMPG.
Load each one into bitrate viewer then copy and paste the properties of both of the files here, so I can compare them.
This way it may be possible to determine what the actual difference is between them both.
It is not possible to pause the program and then close it, but you can pause it and just move the program out of the way to the edge of your screen by simply clicking the stop button. When you wish to resume just cancel the abort and it will continue.
If you wish to shut your PC down then put it into hibernation. When you restart you can continue where you left off.
I encode my movies to TMPGE and it does the video perfectly but the audio plays for 3 to 6 seconds and then NOTHING. And the audio is scrambled too.
What settings did I do wrong ?
SECONDLY I used Stream Type ES Video/ AUDIO Is that correct?
Worked in past from Adob but not Pinnacle.....
My original files are AVI files from Pinnacle Liquid edition.And they play perfectly in windows media etc etc...
Come to new conclusions.................TMPGEnc does not like the XviD codec. I've tried to convert many movies I've recompressed containing the XviD codec (As XviD can have up to a 10000 bit rate).
So what's your point?
That a hacked MPEG4 codec sometimes has problems with a program that doesn't officially support it? How is this a bug?
However XVID AVI's will work just fine if you configure TMPG correctly to work them and don't use AVI's that are possibly corrupt or downloaded from the net.
If you search this BBS you will find details how to make XVID work fine.
Are you useing AVI2VCD or are you useing Tmpgenc?? What do you Mean by 2 Clips are these 2 Parts of the Same File or are the 2 files of a Different Format??
This is the TMPG BBS.
Why don't you ask your question in the AVI2VCD forum.
The author of TMPG does not support the use of these third party programs with TMPG and hence any problems as such are not TMPG problems, so take your question to the AVI2VCD forum which is where the answer to your problem lies.
Tmpgenc does not Properly convert Pal to NTSC or Visa versa ,Well you can But then you will have to use an Audio Editor to Change the Length of the Audio because when converting 25fps to 23.97fps the audio length is Changed because less Frames a second makes a Longer Video File..So what you do is set the Framerate to 23.97fps with 3:2 Pulldown on Playback then set select the "Do Not Frame Rate Convert" in the Advanced settings and then encode Just the Video to Mpeg..Now you will need to extract the audio from the source File to WAV format and then you will need an audio editor like "GoldWave"..You now Find out the Exact length of the Mpeg Video file and write it down and then load the Audio into GoldWave and use the "Time Warp" Feature to Change the length of the Audio file to the exact Length of the Video File, then render the Wav file and encode it to Mpa audio and Multiplex it with the Video File...You can also use a Good Quality Video editor to do the Conversion cuz Most good editors Like premier or vegas can do proper Frame rate conversions...Cheers
>That's not dvd standard.... only 48kHz & 16 bit... I'm sorry for you
Sorry Olivier, 48 kHz is only for compressed sound. I think you were misinformed! The the dvdrhelp.com site is wrong.
I write about lossless, uncompressed digital audio (LPCM)!!
Please read DVD Demystified from Jim Tayler (side 304, 305):
Dolby Digital (AC3) = <448 kBit/s by 48 kHz
MPEG-1 = <384 kBit/s by 48 kHz
MPEG-2 = <912 kBit/s by 48 kHz
but
Linear PCM = <6.144 MBit/s and 16, 20 or 24 Bit by 48 or 96 kHz !!!
And please see some leaflets from Sony or others about DVD-Players. All new player can play 96 kHz LPCM (by 24 bits) !!!!!

"Linear PCM is uncompressed (lossless) digital audio, the same format used on CDs and most studio masters. It can be sampled at 48 or 96 kHz with 16, 20, or 24 bits/sample. (Audio CD is limited to 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.) There can be from 1 to 8 channels. The maximum bit rate is 6.144 Mbps, which limits sample rates and bit sizes when there are 5 or more channels. It's generally felt that the 120 dB dynamic range of 20 bits combined with a frequency response of around 22,000 Hz from 48 kHz sampling is adequate for high-fidelity sound reproduction. However, additional bits and higher sampling rates are useful in audiophile applications, studio work, noise shaping, advanced digital processing, and three-dimensional sound field reproduction. DVD players are required to support all the variations of LPCM, but many subsample 96 kHz down to 48 kHz, and some may not use all 20 or 24 bits. The signal provided on the digital output for external digital-to-analog converters may be limited to less than 96 kHz and less than 24 bits."
The CSS license (not the DVD Technical Notes) does not allow digital PCM output of CSS-protected material at 96 kHz. The player must downsample to 48 kHz. But the DVD-Standard give a permission to use.
Please note: We talk about S/P DIF Characteristics.
The Standard IEC958 "Digital audio interface" define that the Signal bitrate is 2.8MHz (Fs=44.1kHz), 2Mhz (Fs=32kHz) and 3.1Mhz (Fs=48kHz).
With regard to DVD-Audio some new DVD-Video-players can output 96/24 PCM audio using a non-standard variation of IEC-958 running at 6.144 Mbps instead of the normal limit of 3.1 MHz.
OK, I will make my one DVD-Video with a GOOD sound. I use LPCM (is lossless uncomressed digital audio) with 96kHz sample frequency and 24 bits sample size, witout (!!) CSS license (it is my one license).
If I produce the DVD with Spruce DVDMaestro I have no problems with my PCM-Stream (96kHz/24Bit). TMPGEnc DVD Author did not work correct!!
i use virtualdub v1.5.10 (even use virtuadub mod & virtualdub_ac3) to extract ac3 from Xvid avi file. when i try to transcode it to mp2 rempeg just stay at 0%....anyone knows what's wrong with it?
Oh and by the way, you DO NOT extract to an AC3 with Virtualdub unless you are creating a DVD. You should be extracting to a WAV which TMPG will convert to Mp2 no problem.
When Virtual dub extracts AC3 to Wav it It extracts it to an AC3 File with a Wav header, and if you set it to Full proscessing Mode it in Most cases seems to extract to a Blank file..But if you install the AC3 ACM Decompressor then Virtual dub will extract the AC3 directly to wav and with Dolby downmix when Nescessary...Or you can Use AVI-Mix to extract it directly to AC3 and then encode the AC3 to Mp2 with something like "Headac3he" them mux it with the Mpeg tools...
thanx for the response guys. actually i want to transcode ac3 to mpeg 5.1 multichannel stream using rempeg.the movie i dl has 2 parts,1st 1 i transcode it successfully with rempeg but the 2nd part just says at 0%....

Virtualdubmod and Virtualdub_ac3 don't have this problem. It is only Virtualdub which produces the wav header on Ac3 files.
Then you may have a problem with your AC3 file, it may have corrupt frames.
Download Ac3 fix and the GUI from this link: http://www.roderz.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/euro2/ and run you Ac3 through it.
