Hi, I'm new to video conversion, and am having a problem with TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress. I'm trying to convert avi/mpeg files into VCD/SVCDs. The problem is, that no matter what I seem to do, TMPGEnc resizes and centers my videos, so they display as a fraction of the original size and surrounded by borders.
I've tried manually resizing, cropping the image, changing the resize options, but get the same result. More confusingly, TMPGEnc previews the file as being fullscreen (or nearly so, for widescreen videos) like the original, but the final result is just a small box of video in the center of my screen or TV. I've used older versions of TMPGEnc before, and had no trouble. I'm sure this is some obvious newbie error on my part, but i'm pretty frustrated at the moment. Any advice on what the problem is and how I can fix it?
I agree that the preview is not as good as the free version (2.5).
Perhaps, you can try setting the "Image position" option to "Full screen" or "Full Screen (No Margin)". The "keep aspect ration" checkbox might also affect your output.
Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, I tried playing with all those options. That does affect aspect ratio, position, etc., but I essentially still have the same problem. What should be a full-screen or wide-screen image, like the original file, still appears as a smaller image in the center of the screen. Has anyone else had this problem?
I have taken several short movies and am putting them onto one DVD. Everything seems to be working fine except I cannot return to the main menu with the menu button on my remote once one of the movies has began playing. I can skip forward and back between movies though.
Hi there. I am trying to locate a TMPGenc template called KVCD-KMOD (that's the only name I have for it) and having absolutely no luck whatsoever. I have seen the KVCD templates for TMPGenc on the kvcd.net site and this one is not there. If anyone knows where I can locate this particualr template, I'd be most appreciative for the heads up. Thanks in advance.
I used TMPGenc to create a DVD with menus. It played fine on my PC using POWERDVD. But, when I try to play on a standard DVD Player (Panasonic RV31), the disc is not recognized.
I can burn the DVD without Menus and it plays fine, so something about the menus is preventing the DVD from geing recognized.
I can't save edits as mpeg files rather it saves as TMPGenc which other programs cannot open. The solution I used was to batch recode which gave me an mpeg file
An MPEG 1/2 file will always be bigger than an AVI if you want to maintain quality. You can reduce the size by reducing the bitrate, but the output will look crap.
Wrong. A MPEG-1 is encoded at CBR therefore the size is 10 MB per minute (compulsory). Therefore 1 CD-R approx 80' of VCD movie is compulaory.
You either must use the KVCD templetes or split the movie into 2 (for a 80 min < length < 160 min movie).
Can anyone help please...here's the situation. (BTW I am new to this)
I have a series of avi files which I want to convert to mpeg so I can watch it on my TV. On recommendation, I downloaded and installed TMPGEn. Converted one file (using defaults). Pictures are perfect but sadly :-( no sound
I have checked the posts in this forum and so far I cannot see one straight answer (remember I am new to this)
How do I get the audio? I asked for system (video & audio) when I encoded the avi file and yet no sound.
If I can stream the audio into a wav file using something esle, how do i combine the 2 files into a "working" mpeg file that I can burn to a CD?
Can someone pretty please give me a step by step instruction so I can reach my goal. Thanks
i get the ntdll.dll error and i realize this has been asked many times before, but all everyone says to do is install ffdshow,and it doesnt work. please help me out if anyone has any ideas.
i found out that XPress does the same thing i was wanting Plus to do and XPress worked fine with no errors, so i suggest getting XPress if you are getting this dumb error.
for no good reason I decided to add a file to my dvd proggie for the hell of it being it was a ripped DVD just to see what would happen, now its a rip of that new flick "flying daggers" and the quality is gorgeous and I took a break to get a cup of coffee and answer a question in the TMPGenc forum for some poor dude, well I then opened my progiie and where it says add file or add DVD I hit add file and clicked on my VDV Rip file and my DVD drive in my NEC DVDRW went nuts........!! I mean NUTS.. It started revving like you were racing a car engine out of control, it went so fast that I actually got scared because I started smelling that burning plastic smell!! Lol I hope I didnt fry it and I doubt it but if anyone else wants a laugh try adding any MKV file and let me know what happens!! Oh and while were here and tho this is the wrong forum, I tried changing the value of my "priority" on my VFAPI plug in on my TMPGEnc proggie but I dont see how you guys do it?? I tried like right clicking so I could delete the value but to no avail, I uncheked and rechecked the DirectShow box in case that was how you did it, I see the value as -1 but I would like to set it to a normal or +2 if possible.......any idea's?
