On Windows NT or 2000 the latest TMPGEnc. is freeze. Windows ME says unsupported fileformat. It is a *.avi but in file properties there is no information about the format. I can play it with ThePlaya and windows Media Player. I'm unable to create a video CD.
Thanks for any information.
I've got a samsung 709 and i've finally found the right media to make some backup VCD's. I have a load of old tapes with startrek on, original series all way up to the current day. However i found that TMPGEnc doesn't seem to read the DIVx files i have.
I've tried using Nero 5.5, but it comes up with an error message. Something like currupt file. Anyhoo, TMPGenc allows me to select my divx encoded avi file. However i can niether preview the sound or the video.
I'm currently converting one of the AVI's now, but the window which i assume should show the film, is just blank.
I've an AVI-CD and want to creat the necessary number of Output-CDs/-Files
(MPG). Every time i tried this with TMPGEnc, the programm creats only
1 Outputfile with a 1,2 Gb size.
Pleas help!!!!!!!!!
What exactly do u need help with? the file size so it fits on one CD? if so, encode the avi as a VCD and then use nero to burn it as a VCD, it will accept the file size, because nero works on timeline so it ignores the size of the file!
Techno what do you mean Nero works on a timeline so it doesn't matter on the size of the file. Of course it does!
You can't fit 1.2gb on one cd no matter how long it runs for.
10mb is roughly 1 min in VCD format, so 800mb is the max for an 80min cd.
Rainer a full vcd movie will not fit on 1 cd, you are going to have to split the file in two using the Merge/Cut MPEG tools in TMPG or in future, if you want your file split automatically halfway through the movie then you could use the source range filter and encode the movie in two halves.
Ha ha ha.......You've got to be having a laugh.
Techno Iam telling you now and I will absolutely stake my mothers life on it. Nero will NOT burn a 3gb file on a disk!!! So according to your maths a 100gb file as long as it runs for 78 mins can fit on a cd. No way!
If anybody can prove me wrong then go ahead because Iam very interested to see this amazing feat acheived.
If that was the case Techno we wouldn't need high capacity DVD's, so start talking some sense.
The higher the bitrate the more Mb/min is needed.
800mb is still 800mb and no matter what you do you won't fit 3gb on it.
I suggest you create a 3gb file and try to burn it on an 80min disk then get back to me Techno.
what I noticed is if you have a file 80 min at 1150kbs,nero will say it is 80 min,but if you double the bit rate at the same 80 min length,nero will say it is twice as long,so the length that nero says it is ,is directly related to the bitrate or file size...
Exactly Sherlock.
For Techno's information, the timeline of Nero is *NOT* related to the length of time of the file, but is related to the amount of minutes available on the disk.
The length of the file could be 10 mins but if the bitrate is high then Nero will show the timeline as much higher.
For example an MPEG2 file which runs for one min but is 40mb in size will show as 4 mins in the NERO timeline and not 1 min because 10mb is equal to 1min when burning a SVCD or VCD.
I'm trying to convert old svhs tapes into svcds, I made a high quality avi file, but after the coding into svcd format with tmepg the sound isn't synchro anymore (it was synchro in the original avi file)... what should I do to correct this (I use the regular svcd pal template, and the avi file is already at 25f/s)...
Also, if it sill happens, if the audio is faster than the video, increase the frame rate. If the audio is slower than the video, de-crease the frame rate.
the sound is originally recorded in the avi file at 44.1khz...
if I raise the frame rate (the sound goes faster) will the mpeg2 final file still svcd compliant?
Because I have done this myself just now with a video and works fine, maybe the burning software might complain but ignore it.
If it does not work then, extract the audio as wave using virtualdub and then load this in and the video in TMPGENC and encode as 44100Hz, 224bitrate. Let us know what happens.
I think Marco is trying to ascertain as to whether it is the actual file at fault or the burning process or the DVD player itself, so the principal is not the same.
yes ASHY, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I TRY TO KNOW : I HAD SIMILAR/OPPOSITE PROBLEM OF PRETEN:
PERFECT VCD PLAYED ON PC WITH WIN-MEDIA-PLAYER OR WINDVD , AND OUT OF SYNC WHEN I PUT IT IN PIONEER-DV444.
I FOUND OUT THAT PIONEER-444 PLAY IN SYNC VCD ONLY IF THEY ARE STANDARD .
ON MINE I WAS SAVING SPACE ENCODING AUDIO AT 128KB AND THIS WAS PLAYED WELL ON PC BUT OUT OF SYNC IN PIONEER-444.
RE-ENCODED AT 224 KB WAS WELL ON BOTH (PC AND TV-VIA-DVD)
REGARDS
Have you tried following some of the DivX to VCD (SVCD) guides out there. That way you will probably find out what is wrong or what you are doing wrong.
Goto http://doom9.com ... and try goto purplemans site (under the links) om that site or www.vcdhelp.com
Well, there is no known issue about this for TMPGENC about turning pictures upside down! Are you sure the original source is not upside down? Try decreasing the directshow priority in the environment settings
I have the exact same problem all my mpeg files are played upside down in media player,and all my avi"s are with super colorfull macro blocks,but I ignore it because it doesn"t affect the encodeing,I think it is cuz of powerdvd cuz it happened after i installed it..........
When I try to download the version 2.53 and unzip it, it says invalid archieve. try re-downloading it. Have done so, and still unable to open it. How can I get this to work?
A friend of mine has the same DVD player, but it won't accept CDR's.
It will however accept most CDRW's as will most DVD players that don't accept CDR's.
Your right Techno. Just discovered why it was taking so long encoding vobs. Wrong Mpeg2 filters! Changed filters to Ligos now encodes roughly same time as DVD2AVI only slightly slower. Still gonna use DVD2AVI though, makes things simpler.
Hello,
I am using the trial version of tmpgenc to convert avi videos captured using the studio dc10 plus capture card. I am using tmpgenc to convert to mpeg2 format and then using Vcdeasy to create an SVCD disc. The problem I am having is that along the edge of any moving object, there is noticable jitter or shakiness. This is not evident when I play the original video (created by an analog camcorder) or the AVI file on my PC. I tried several options (CBR, VBR etc) and also the various motion search options however I still do not get a satisfactory mpeg2 conversion.
What you are seeing are probably interlacing artifacts. Double click on the deinterlace entry where all the filters are and try the different options. If you are PAL, interlaced even adaptive is a good place to start. NTSC, interlaced odd adaptive.
I am a little confused about interlaced vs de-interlaced. It was my impression that NTSC format was interlaced. If I create an mpeg2 stream which is deinterlaced would it play correctly via a DVD player and TV ?
I thought since the TV expects interlaced video, the mpeg2 stream needs to be interlaced as well. Is this true ?
Thanks.
You are right, your television expects an interlaced signal, and this is what your DVD player supplies. While there are players that will play progressive DVDs and output interlaced pictures to the TV, it is normal to make interlaced m2v streams for use in DVD players.
This setting is set in TMPGenc under Settings > Video > Encode Mode and should be set to interlaced and means the finished stream will be interlaced.
Under Settings > Advanced > Deinterlace is where you set how the encoder deals with source material that is either interlaced or not. If you double click on the deinterlace entry and use the slider bar to cue up to a frame which has motion in it , you can see the effect the various options have.
Large! For a 1hr movie it'll be about 20gb. Not recommended. Why don't you capture direct to MPEG2 if thats your goal. There are a few programs on the market now which can do this. Here are a few:
As I said earlier, I use VTR->VGA CARD->VirtualDub(capturing to AVI)->TMPGenc(encoding to MPEG-1 VCD)->Nero(to burn VCD or SVCD) process.
Then VGA card is an important part for video quality? Not capturing software such as Virtualdub?
Have you ever used Virtualdub? There are many options for capturing? And I normally use 'YUV' 352x240 cd quality audio and nothing else(no compression).
And I wonder why quite lots of frame drops happen(2500/80000frames).
Also Tmpgenc plays an important role for video quality, doesn't it? Any good tips? I tried different options to improve quality but about same regardless of various encoding time.
It all depends on the speed of your system.
If you have a decent speed processor of say something around 800mhz then your frame dropping is most likely due to the fact you are capturing uncompressed and your hardrive is having problems keeping up with the data flow.
For uncompressed frames you would need a hardrive with a spin speed of at least 7200rpm and would need to be defragmented.
I would capture to the Divx codec at maximum quality this will take the load off your hardrive and should be pretty good.
Also capture in compatablity mode without filters and ensure DMA is enabled for your Hard drive.
I use the DIVX 5 codec at maximum quality and capture at 640x480 using my WinTV Go PCI card then convert to MPEG2 and the quality is VERY high.
When I click the start button, I receive the message "Can't load the P3Package.dll". Is there a patch for this or am I doing something wrong....I am a beginner. Please help, I feel really close!
