I admit that I'm a dweeb here. I have TMPGEnc, and I have an MPG file. I want to take that MPG file and make a VCD out of it.

Is there anyone who will take pity on the dweeb and tell her **in idiot terms** how to do this? Like, "this is your mouse."

I know just enough to be dangerous.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and hopefully to answer.

Well the Hard part is Over you Just need to Burn it to Disk with a program that supports Burning VCD/SVCD"s Like "Nero" or "VCDEasy"...

Hit this link it will show you exactly what you need to know.

Ok here is my simple question for you guys seeing that I am pretty much out of my league with this.. I download movies from Kazaa and I was wondering how i can burn them to a disk in VCD format so I can use my VCD/DVD/MP3 home player to view these said movies?? any Help??

Thanks

Well Use Tmpgenc to encode your AVI"s to Mpeg1/VCD then burn them to disk with a program that supports Burning VCD"s....If you are Haveing a specific Problem you should post it instead of asking a Very general Question like "How do I make a VCD out of AVI"s"........

This should be real easy, i use the "Stop" button as pause and the "Cancel" as resume, it would be cool if there was a pause and resume button as well..

Hi all,

I have an avi that I've decompressed the audio into a wav file. I then grab the avi as my video and the wav file as my audio and encode it. When it is finished, I play the resulting file and I get only the audio, no video. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Dave

You don't need to split the audio and video file before loading it into TMPGEnc. Just load up the video file, TMPGEnc will recognize the sound itself.
Then it should be just fine.
Hint: Try out a few settings and find the one'S that work best with your system and work out best for you. Use a short video file for it, so encoding time is shorter.

YES...Sometimes you DO have to Extract the audio from the AVI as a WAV file Because the audio format isn"t supported or Tmpgenc Just isn"t reading the audio format Because of some sort of Configuration Problem...Usually if there is a Picture in the Tmpgenc Window while Encodeing then there will be a Picture in the actual Mpeg file, But if there is no picture while encodeing then there isn"t going to be a Picture in the Mpeg file...Usually if there is no Picture in the Mpeg file it can Be cured By encodeing again with the Priority of the "Direct Show" being raised to "2"...

I'm pretty new to this stuff, but so far almost everything has worked out fine. I can convert an avi to a mpg and keep the screen ratios the same. The picture looks fine and it plays in the same ratio on my comuter. However, when I pop into my DVD player and try to play it on TV, the picture gets adjusted and is squashed to fit fullscreen. Is there any way to get it to play the same in the DVD player as it does on my computer? Please help.

Thanks

Does anyone out there have a text file they can forward to me that explains how to convert DVD onto DVDR using one DVDR disk for all movies. I have tried VCD helper guides but they seem to leave out details. I would be thankful if anyone has a guide they can share-also prefer guide that uses TMPGEnc as the encoder. THanks in advance Guys!!!

i downloaded the nemo codec pack. he started the wizardof tmpg. when he starts to encoder he brings the message of unknown or unsupported.

Hello..
I'm currently going to make several formats of my home movie clips.
one is VCD, DVD, Divx, and a WMV format.
I applied noise reduction filter that really is a time consuming, and I thought it would be nice if TMPGEnc could output to multiple formats (like mentioned above) right after it prefilters the image to avoid redundancy (re-filter each time I encode to a different format).
I know one current solution is to output to an uncompressed AVI first, but that would be a waste of space if it's a full movie.

I hope this feature would be added very soon!
Thanks!

What? how many other encoders do u know that do this and how long do u think it would take to encode a movie when doing what u ask.

It would take an enormous amount of CPU power to do what u ask and is just not feasible.

The Only encoder That I know of that Can output that Many different formats at once is "Canopus ProCoder" and it is "REALLY SLOW".....

I use original MP2 or AC3 Streams of DVD or DVB.
So my suggestion: A Audio "direct Stream copy" (Similarly as VirtualDub)

Thus I would save the muxing of m2v + AC3 Files!

Very nice request!

The option already exsists and has done for a while.

Simply enable the feature in the enviromental settings under the CPU tab.
Use the command 'mux://' before the file name to mux the stream rather encode it.
For example:
VIDEO: C:movie.avi
AUDIO: mux://C:movie.mp2

This will result in the Video being encoded and the audio just being muxed with the Video and not re-encoded.

sorry this should say the 'General' tab not the 'CPU' tab

Oh, that's it! But it isn't comfortably :(

How I can use the TMPEnc program to make a compressed file with MPGEG1 using images JPEG from an photo album ?

Simply the JPEG-File as video-Source and go...

Around long VCD to provide I used the P and B Frames very highly. Therefore the GOP is very large. Extent of utilization causes a high memory. If the memory is not enough it must be swapped. That drives the computing time up.

I kwon I can limit with "MAX number of frames in A GOP".

My suggestion: A mechanism that choose automatic the "MAX number of frames in A GOP":

maximum use of RAM <-> "MAX number of frames in A GOP"

Buy more ram. It will encode better and faster than any software cahange.

Nice!
But I have two old P-II Computer with BX-Chipset, too... More than 512MB is not supported :(

And I would use gladly different software at the same time! But if TMPG use all Memory... :(

wouldn't it make the file a non VCD comliant?
I've read somewhere that there is a max number in GOP limitation also in VCD..
I could be wrong though.. :)

I don't know about a GOP length limitation. My DVD-Player play all SVCD CD's a made :)

My question is, I have mpeg files bigger than 4gb, acquired by ATI AIW7500 from satellite channels, and I would like to cut, converte and others by TMPGenc but I can't. It seems that TMPGeng doesn't support mpeg files bigger than 4gb. It's true?? How I can fix this problem??
Thanks

Try frameserving from Virtualdub or AVIsynth.

Also try DVD2AVI. It has the best decoding quality available.

Load the Mpeg. Save project to get a d2v file. Play with audio settings until you also get a wav or mpa file. If you captured film material with ATI's Inverse Telecine enabled, set video "force film" mode.

If audio is mpa, load it into TMPG or any audio tool with a decoder (I use Ulead Audio Editor) and save as a wav.

Make sure DVD2AVI.vfp file is in the directory with TMPG executable.

Load the d2v file (Video) and wav file (Audio) into TMPG and play with encode settings. Run a few test segments with reduced source range.

If ATI inverse telecine/forced film did a good job at converting to 23.976fps, use the "3:2 pulldown when playback" encode mode setting to get DVD compliant 29.97fps with repeat field flags (progressive). Otherwise go back to DVD2AVI and disable force film and encode as interlaced.

thanks for your answers, I'll try soon.

hi all, solution proposed by WCPAUL works !!! I'm happy, the only "problem" is that for a 4,9GB file (1h49min) it take about 22hours.
Doesn't matter during the night I sleep and pc works.
bye
