The mpeg files are converted through TMPGEnc Plus with AVI file and wav file which is made through VirtualDub-1.6.4 and HeadAC3he_024a12.
The mpeg file is played correctly with sound if the convert templet is "Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)"
But other mpeg file is played with NO SOUND if the convert templet is "Super Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-2 480x480 29.97fps CBR 2520kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)"
The audio source are same at both.

I wish MPEG-2 file with sound.
What is matter?
Please help...

I wouldn't bother with the wav extraction etc. Just load the avi into tmpgenc and set to ES video + audio. This works well in my experience (for a PAL DVD)

Hi, I read some old messages talking about templates for encoding VCD at best quality. I've got some Divx movies that I'd like to convert to either VCD, XVCD, SVCD, or XSVCD. Whatever it takes to give me the same quality of the original source. I don't care the size of the files and I don't mind if I have to use 3 CDs to save a 1 hour movie.
I prefer VCDs (non-standard) so if anyone could send me a template to give me the most cristal clear quality I'd be thankful.
Either send the template or send the whole settings I should use... whatever.
Thanks in advance

I've got an avi file that won't convert properly to mpeg in tmpgenc. The picture is a wash of colors when I look at it in 'filter settings' under 'source range' or in the preview window. All my other avi files convert perfectly. I did a check on the avi file using avicodec and it tells me this:

Video : 642 MB, 1049 Kbps, 23.976 fps, 608*336 (16:9), DIV3 = DivX v3 ;-) MPEG-4 (Low-Motion), Supported


I also ran gspot on this non working avi file and it tells me it's a div3 codec and that I have two supporting codecs installed that can play it. I also did a render check and it says my direct show can play it as well. All my media players (vlc, wmp) can play this avi file. So why does tmpgenc show me nothing but a mess of colors when I try to convert it to mpeg?

I've used tmpgenc before, but this time, i got a problem. my output file is alot longer and alot bigger than the oringinal. from past experiences i know this is not suppose to happen and the size is suppose to be about the same as the oringinal aswell as the length. However, its not and i get 2 hrs of black screen. i remember solving this problem before, but that was years ago, so i cant remember, anyone care to help me solve this problem of black screen after video?

P.S. i checked the FAQ and i used the search, i cant find a solution.

Same problem here. I haven't changed any of the settings but the result is awful. I've unistalled and reinstalled the program but nothing has changed.
Hope someone's got a clue about the problem.

Using TmpgEnc to convert Avi to M2V, it always stop at 97% with "Stream Writing Error". I have followed the instruction by TmpgEnc official site to change the Environmental setting for the temp file, it still won't rectify the problem. Can someone help?

This does not seem to be an issue with TMPGEnc itself, but I am hoping someone here can shed some light on my issue.

I have a Dazzle DVC80 capture device and using MovieStar5 to capture my video to raw avi. For 25 minutes of video, my file size is roughly 5 gigs.

I tried to use the MovieStar software, TMPGEnc, and also Nero to convert this raw avi file to SVCD. Each program will completely lock up my computer and random times during the encoding process.

I tried VCD and it looked like it was working, but with about 4 minutes of encoding time left, everything locked up again.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may be happening?

I'm using the VirtualDub MPEG2 version and want to remove logo's from my MPEG2 files. I use TMPGENC to encode the files that are modified in VirtualDub using the Frame Server function.

However following the tutorials to remove the logo's yielded files that were orginal 2.5GB down to 350MB. Naturally with this unwanted compression I get unwanted artifacts etc.

Has anyone used this process to remove the logo's without altering the video quality?

Are there special settings within TMPGenc that need to be set to retain the original video quality? If so, what or where can I find these settings?

Here is the method that I have been using to remove the logo's.

1) Open VirtualDub and load a MPEG2 file.
2) Open filters and add Delogo and then configure to remove logos.
3) Then select Video Compression and here is where I select Uncompressed.
4)Then I open Frameserver
5) Then I open TmpgEnc to encode the files

As mentioned before the original size was 2.5GB , after doing the above the filesize is 350MB. I don't want to compress anything video or audio , all I want to do is remove the logo's.

I have tried other settings such as : select in Audio & Video processing modes..."Direct Stream Copy" or "Full Processing Mode"... Neither option yielded an uncompressed file. By the way when I used Direct Stream Copy it took over 18+ hours.

Another point to mention is that in all cases the audio was synced with the video.



Any help, comments, tutorials etc will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Cannot get the audio to snyc up with the video. There is about a 6-8 second delay. Video happens then audio come in about 8 seconds later.

REQUEST for an x64 build now that WinXP-x64 has been officially released

This is one app that would benefit greatly by 64-bits; with sixteen 64-bit gp registers and a huge amount of addresable memory I wouldn't be surprised if the speed increase weren't threefold over a 32-bit build.

here here to that would definatelty get my dual core 3800 cooking

yeah, definitely.

i think its divx or xvid encoders, encode twice as fast on xp64, without being optimised.

x64 will revolutionise video encoding!, its probably the only real reason a home user should chose it over 32 bit. (ur average joe blog :D)

I have an avi file (which plays flawlessly), with ac3 (5.1 CH audio). I seperate it (using Virtual Dub) and produce m2v file with the video only using tmpgenc.

I finally wish to make a DVD out of it.

The result is always deley in the vidoe of about 7-8 seconds.

How can this be corrected?

Is it a continous async (delay) or is it becoming bigger and bigger while playing?

I have this problem. Mine the delay gets worse as the video goes along. I separate the video from the audio and save the audio as a wav file using virtualdubmod. It doesn't happen on all videos but is the same on repeated attempts at the video. When watching the DVD you'd hear little hickups in the audio and they accumulate over time to make the delay worse and worse each time.

I have a problem: My TMPGEnc isn't taking any movies files of mine....it keeps telling me that it doesn't support the files and they're the DVD2AVI vfp. files. I've been inserting these in TMPGEnc before many times, but now it won't let me do it. This is getting to be very frusrating as I have a lot of movie files to do! I recently had to wipe everything out on my hard drive. It was working before I did this, now NOTHING'S working on it! I have an AMD athlon(tm) xp 2500 processor, 1 gig of RAM, integrated sound card, two hard drives(120 gig & 200 gig) and a NVIDIA GeForce 5200 video card (128mbs) and two DVD burners in it.I have the TMPGEnc version 2.58....Somebody PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS!!

Copy the DVD2AVI.VFP from your DVD2AVI folder to the TMPGenc folder.

I've tried that and it still won't work. I've even went as far as to wipe everything out on my hard drive and it still won't work! I've adjusted the directshow to 2 and 3 and it STILL WON'T WORK...ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!! I just don't understand it...it worked before and now all of a sudden it doesn't want to work and now I have all these movies I need to do....any other suggestions?

The directshow settings have nothing to do with the DVD2AVI frame server as it uses the VFAPI interface.

Follow these steps and it should work.

First of all carry the instructions I gave you previously again.
Ensure that the the version of DVD2AVI that you created the .d2v with is exactly the same version you are copying the DVD2AVI.vfp file from to the TMPGenc folder.

Secondly do NOT move, rename or delete the .d2v or any of the files or folders associated with it inckuding the source files until you have finished encoding.

Run TMPG then navigate to the VFAPI plugins folder. You should see the DVD2AVI.vfp plugin listed. If it is, ensure it checked. If it is checked then try raising it's priority and then restart TMPG and then load your .d2v

Instead of jumping through all these hoops of nonsense, you should make sure first that you havent lost or overwritten your necessary codecs. Have you made significant changes to your system since the last time it worked for you? Without proper codecs installed, TMPEG will not support very many file types. I recommend K-LITE CODEC PACKS. They are complete, quick to install, and 100% free. Try this first.

Well it just goes to show the extent of your knowledge with your 'Hoops of nonsense' crack and your little understanding of how the VFAPI interface works.

First off he doesn't need an installed codec to decode the MPEG2 source as DVD2AVI works as a frame server through the VFAPI interface and has it's own standalone codec and only needs the DVD2AVI project file reader added to the TMPG VFAPI list to decode MPEG2.

Secondly anyone who advises installing a codec pack on a system has little or no knowledge of why these should NOT be installed. Anybody with plenty of encoding and video editing knowledge on any of the video forums will tell to stay well away from them.

Lastly before posting messages challenging someone elses advice, make sure you know what you are talking about as your advice will do diddly squat as far as decoding MPEG2 with DVD2AVI is concerned.

um, could you please explain all this again in stupid man's terms? i can't find a plugin folder? and i dont understand why a file needs to be moved from the folder it was saved in to the tmpg folder? i imagine it has a browse button for a reason?

i made a .d2v file with DVD2AVI and when i browse for the file, it's not automatically detected as a video file, i have to view All Files (*.*). then, when i select my file, it says it's not supported, or couldn't be opened.

I'm not familiar with either DVD2AVI or TMPG, i'm just following steps outlined in my uni course notes for ripping DVDs. So some really simple steps to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Hi,

i bought a new Canon A510 digital camera and i can do movies with it.
The problem is i tried to convert the .AVI using TMPGEnc and it wont even open the file. The AVI is encoded in Motion-JPEG so i can't use it in my video editing software. Do you have any ideas that could help me ?

You need to install the Morgan media MJPEG codec or similar directshow codec.
