What do the Noise Reduction settings control exactly? I understand "Still Picture" is for spatial filtering, and "Time Axis" is for temporal filtering, but what does the value actually mean? I assume that since the range is 0-100 that it is a percentage, but a percentage of what? A better definition than what is available in the help would be appreciated.
i am having problems encoding using said program...
i had nimo codec pack 9 installed and all i could get was the video.
then i uninstalled that codec and just installed the dixv 5.02 or the most current codec and again all i could get with tmpgenc was the video.. so my question is what codec should be used to get the audio for the encode? i have used virtual dub to get the wav of the video and i get an error that the file is not supported which tells me its a codec problem.
The audio is likely AC3 or maybe VBR MP3.
The next time you extract to a wav you must choose full processing and select PCM.
You have simply extracted an AC3 file and put a wav header on it.
Scratching my head a bit here. I had been getting the old "Cannot open/unsupported" error and read through the threads here and nothing worked. As it worked fine last night I began thinking about what had changed on my system. I uninstalled a trial version of Cucusofts avi - dvd convertor. When I reinstalled this TMPEng works again!! Anyone any idea why? I dont really want cucusofts software on my machine so if I knew what it was I could probably keep whatever codec or whatever is making TMPEng work.

I had the same problem, what I done is to, import the avi into windows movie maker and save again as a .AVI, then I could encode to MPEG-1, it worked for me.

The file was opened after I raised the priority of the 'Directshow file reader'. But it still can't be converted...

By the way, I do have the FFDSHOW. but it seems not working on it..
What exactly is the error you are receiving and what is the problem you are experiencing.
What format is the AVI, is it XVID, DIVX etc.
Are you trying to convert to MPEG1 or 2. We need more details.
i've got the same Problem. To answer your questions: I want to convert a xvid-file with the ending of *.avi into a mpeg1 or mpeg2 file. The program tells me, that it can not find a videofile.
I would be very glad if anybody can help me.
Hello there folks from Ireland.
I have the freeware version of TEMPGnc and I need to adjust MPEG1 bitrate, the freeware version doesnt allow me to do this, or should it?
If I get the full version will it allow me to adjust MPEG1 bitrate..
In the main widow click the 'LOAD' button then navigate to the 'EXTRA' folder in the 'Template' folder.
Double click the 'UNLOCK.MCF' and all settings will be unlocked.
I captured from vhs tape, got .avi file with good result compared to original video. file I get is 1GB fo 5 minutes.
Now - I convert it to SVCD using tmpgenc tahy works nice, but final quality (when viewed by wmp9) is poor if I choose "full screen". Picture is small if I choose "center".
Any good advice?
So this AVI is only 5 minutes long?
If that is the case you can ramp up the bitrate of the SVCD if your player can handle it.
Try upping the bitrate to 4000 and then check the quality.

No, AVI is 1GB for 5 min, but I have 1hour tape and more.
so this isnt the case.
Waiting for other ideas, thanks

I am trying to convert this to VCD, NTSC. It turns out that the completed MPG file is more than 1GB, so I cannot burn it in a cd. I've never had these problems before, and I've been using TMPGENC for years (though I recently had to re-format my hard drive and do some re-installing). I'm using TMGENC v.2.58 with the VFAPI plug-in. Please help.
You seem to have misunderstood.
By 'length' I was refering to the play length in minutes of the source.
The file size means nothing and is completely irrelevant.
Hmm, strange the file size should be around 500MB.
Make sure there is no blank data at the end of the movie.
TMPG sometimes has a habit of misreading the length of the source and can sometimes double or even triple the actual length leading to just blank encoded data at the end of the actual movie.
Check what TMPG states as the length.
If it appears it has miscalculated then first try raising the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' to 2 in the VFAPI plugins and make sure it's top of the list.
If that doesn't cure it then use the source range function to set the start and end points of the movie.
I want to use the command line codes to make it easier to encode stuff w/ a batch file. Are they somewhere on the site, or am I not allowed to have them unless I pay something?
VLC opens the movie as 5,1 by default, and 5,1 is just the background noise and music, no voices. I have to change it to stereo or mono to hear any conversation. So when i open TMPGEnc and do the whole wizard thing it wont find an audio file. With other "normal" .avi files (with no audio device crap) TMPGEnc automatically finds the audio source, but that doesnt happen with my current situation. And when i try to manually select the audio file, (the .avi movie, as it works otherwise), it gives me an error message, that it cant or or its unsupported.
Anyone have a solution for this? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
I think there is a way around the unsupported for RM. I have tried converting RM by using AVISynth and it work without losing too much quailty. And I know if it work for me then it should work for you too.
I don't understand what you are telling me.
Are you suggesting to me that I use AVISYNTH to encode Real media files?
I don't need advice on encoding Real media or using AVISYNTH as it I who advised you in the first place. http://bbs.pegasys-inc.com/bbscgi/ebbs/board.cgi?board=tmpgenc#topic28010
May be I have read this post wrong, but I don't really understand what it is about.
oh, sorry, it was late and i was tired and might have post something wrong. And yes you did show me how to get my AVISynth Script working. I do know much about TMPGEnc and might need help in the future. But what i'm trying to say is that I think there is a way to use TMPGEnc Plus to convert RM. Because for some reason I did it using AVISynth when I was trying to convert my Anime but accidently pick a different script that open RM.
I have 80 something AVIs that I captured from a DV camcorder. They are 3 min in length, and about 700mb each. The video is of projected 8mm film, so the quality is not great to begin with.
I used TMPGenc to batch encode in NTSC low resolution mode, which says 495 minutes can fit on a DVD-r in this mode (with mpeg-1 layer II audio, which I have chosen). This makes each 3 minute video about 200MB, and when I start to put them on a DVD, not nearly 495 minutes can fit. I am using sony DVD architect (bundled with vegas) - the video was captured from a sony DV camcorder DCR-PC110 via adobe premiere pro 1.5.
So, I have a few questions:
How should I encode them to be smaller? Just bring the bitrate down?
Can I do a batch encode and exclude audio altogether (the captured video has an audio track, but the audio is unrelated to the film, its just the sound of the projector, etc.)? Until now I have been setting the audio to 64kbps to minimize the space. Can I strip audio (delete the audio) from existing MPEG-2 or AVI files?
You have 80 files at 3 min each which is 240 mins in total.
Forget about the time it is the capacity that is important.
Use VBR not CBR as this will imorove the quality. You can select VBR in the first wizard screen in the drop down menu.
The capacity of the disk is 4.37GB. To fit all 240 mins on this disk you would need an average bitrate of around 2500Kb/s this is with the audio bitrate set to 64.
However to be on the safe side I would set the average bitrate to 2300Kb/s.
If the wizard does not indicate an average bitrate of around 2300Kb/s then you have made a mistake somewhere in the setup.
Once you have selected 64Kb/s as the audio bitrate ensure that you recheck the 'Auto setting' box so TMPG will re-calculate it's values.
If you do not wish to have audio then enter the 'Expert' settings and then select the audio tab. Click the 'Setting' button then put a check in the 'Change volume' box. Next change the value to 0.
