Request - TE25 - Why can't Tmpgenc read VOB files ? No.18595
Dennis  Home )  2002-04-10 11:58:18 ( ID:gdoi5fzrbsw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi.

I would like to see Tmpgenc able to read VOB files directly instead of having to convert them or something.

If the VOB file is decrypted onto a harddrive why can't tmpgenc read them or are there some Copyright issues in the way or something ?

Regards Dennis


Techno  Home )  2002-04-10 12:02:21 ( ID:82zqdopxre6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It is not a good idea to encode vob's! There is a similar post in this page or the previous, read the reply. :)

DVD's are encrypted so this maybe one reason why TMPGENC will not open the files.

Aha I see, copyright mumbo jumbo probably... DUH...

Grrr, well anyway if you use DVD2AVI you can encode a vob file anyway to divx or whatever :) hehe

Thanks Techno, shouldn't you start working for Tmpgenc alliance ;)

Question - TE25 - Buffer Underflow No.18587
tim  2002-04-10 08:28:40 ( ID:2thlhlrhy3a )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I get the error "###### s packets cause buffer underflow. The MPEG might cause error when it played." when I am using the MpegTools to multiplex the Mpeg file. Anyone knows what's teh cause and how to fix the problem? Appreciate inputs.

Thanks


Techno  Home )  2002-04-10 10:07:57 ( ID:82zqdopxre6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

well, it could mean that the frame inb ur video has corrupted frames/incorrect bitrate assigned to the frame.

Check the video for errors, using virtualdub (as long as the video is AVI or MPEG1) Use virtualdub v1.4.9 http://www.virtualdub.org

Open the video in virtualdub, goto edit and check stream for errors, or something similar to that.

Hope it helps

sherlock  2002-04-10 20:47:54 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I get this error to when trying to multi-plex,buffer underflow is caused by not enough bits to create the desired mpeg frames,as to how to fix it is hard to say but you can try increasing the buffer size,this hes worked with me on occation or you can try "cbr" mode were the bits are constant through the whole file......


B_Racer  2002-04-11 15:01:09 ( ID:gxmkoa4dlnj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Your Bitrate is too high for SVCD. Maximum for SVCD in TMPGEnc ist 2788 kbps for Audio + Video. Any higher Bitrate causes this Error.

Rck60s  2002-04-10 03:42:47 ( ID:xmskm5l1zim )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

After I convert the DIVX5 to full uncompressed avi in virtual dub and then put it thru TMPGEnc to recompress to MPEG2the sound plays fine for about 4 minutes and then drops out...It then reappears a few minutes later starting from the exact spot it had dropped out from but totally out of synch with the film...What am I doing wrong...Techno if you have an answer please email me as this problem has caused me to create at least 4 coasters with very expensive blank dvd media


Techno  Home )  2002-04-10 08:44:35 ( ID:82zqdopxre6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

My friend:

You did not need to uncompress the video in virtualdub.

u could have uninstalled DIVX 5 codec, installed v4.11 or v4.12 and then encoded it! :)

NOW:

try to do the above and this:

extract the audio in virtualdub as a wav and load in TMPGENC

make sure the audio sample rate it 44100hz in virtualdub.

If the audio is faster than the video, even after 44100hz conversion then increase the frame rate.

other wise, if the audio is slower than the video, then decrease the frame rate.

I hope it helps

Question - TE25 - cbr or vbr? No.18576
mjsla  2002-04-10 02:10:41 ( ID:lbmzvc69ysm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Should I encode via "cbr" or "vbr?"


Techno  Home )  2002-04-10 08:42:09 ( ID:82zqdopxre6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

depends on a few factors:

the quality of the original source and the file size u want it to be.


go for VBR if the quality is good on the original source.

Go for CBR if there are parts of the video which has some blocks. CBR is used for VCD if u haven't noticed :)

Techno


Dennis  Home )  2002-04-10 11:54:34 ( ID:gdoi5fzrbsw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hmm

I would suggest you use 2-pass VBR, CBR is good but I tried to encode a VOB (dvd) with that method and the results where the same compared to 2-pass vbr only that it took up half the space.

The thing with 2-pass VBR is to keep a hight bitrate average between 2000-2400 then there could be some blockyness on fast moving pictures but it's hard to see and the whole movie is good enought quality anyway.

The above is for SVCD, for VCD you don't need to care about anything, just load up the template for your needs, select maximum motion search quality and encode.

Regards Dennis

Question - TE25 - Image is blank - no sound, but encoding continues No.18569
tomnguyen  2002-04-09 23:06:55 ( ID:gaytl2s3qoa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am trying to convert an AVI file over to a NTSC VCD MPEG-1 format. The original file is likely encoded in DIVX5 or DIVX4. I had originally Divx 3.11 Alpha installed on my machine, but was unable to 1.) play it in Medial Player, 2.) open it from TMPGEnc. However after installing DIVX5 I was able to play the video, but not able to encode it in TMPGEnc. There is a blank screen when I try to encode. However, I am able to encode older DIVX AVI files. Does TMPGEnc not support AVI that is encoded in DIVX5? Thanks in advance.


sherlock  2002-04-10 08:01:36 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

divx5 isn"t supported in "tmpgenc" you will have to re-encode to divx3 or4...


Techno  Home )  2002-04-10 08:40:58 ( ID:82zqdopxre6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

sherlock: correction:

uninstall DIVX 5, install DIVX v4.12 or 4.11 and tehn encode the DIVX 5 video in TMPGENC, u should get audio and video.

Just correcting you sherlock :)

Thanks for the help...I was guessing that. However, where can I find DIVX 4.11?? All of the regular sites that I go to, to get DIVX, have all updated their links to DIVX 5. Great community- hope to contribute in the future.....

Found the 4.11 codec, and downloaded the direct sound codec from Microsoft - everything is a GO!! thanks.

Question - TE25 - TMPGenc Bitrate Options for SVCD No.18566
Ed  2002-04-09 22:09:48 ( ID:/hubr4iu0sr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm looking for a way to leverage my VCDHelp bitrate calculator. In effect, I would like to use two-pass variable bitrate without the first pass, to save time.

Rationale: Two-pass requires minimum and miximum, and average bitrate settings and resolves the bitrate bins during the first pass. Given a gross estimate of overall motion (low, medium, high, very high), I should be able to anticipate the same thing.

The best that I can do for now is use the AUTOMATIC bitrate and set the maximum bitrate and the quality. The size of the SVCD produced seems sightly dependent upon the setting but I cannot tell what the algorithm is.

Any help on this subject would be great.

I would like to use TMPGEnc and I am using MSP6.5 and a Rapter card from Canopus. What file type should I build to loose NO quaility. Please note I have used Type 1 DV files but too much detail was lost in rendering the avi file and then encoding again using TMPGEnc to build the MPEG2 file.


Techno  Home )  2002-04-10 13:00:30 ( ID:82zqdopxre6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

are u capturing? if so use these setttings:

NO RECOMPRESSION
YU12
320*240
25/30fps
cd quality wav audio

this will take alot of hdd space but the quality is worth it, DVD/near dvd quality.

Then encode in TMPGENC.

Trying to convert my DV movies from my Canon MV3i MC to VCD's for playback on my DVD player. Tried TMPGEnc and got fantastic picture quality results, however, the sound was extremely 'tinny' with a constant whistle noise in the background. Tried playing with some of the options, but this does not seem to help. Can anyone out there help. It would be most appreciated.

to get better sound quality you should use toolame. It is a sound encoder for mpeg that can be used along with tmpgenc.

Vist www.vcdhelp.com to find out about download of this programme and how to set up tmpgenc to use it.

take care

What is the original samplerate of your audio.
The samplerate converter of TMPG isn't too good and gives many probs like this.
My advice would be to run the audio through Virtualdub and change the samplerate first, but make sure you tick the high quality box.

Tried most of the above....little success!

Got toolame to work in TMPGEnc but the sound is no better. (bearing in mind, when playing it in original .avi format the sound is ok). Besweet doesn't seem to work in XP (even through command line), and the same goes for avi2mpg1.exe. Virtual dub doesn't accept avi. files! (by this point I'm pulling my hair out). An finally where can I find wavelab (no mention of it in www.vcdhelp.com)!?

Can you still help me?

I am trying to encode an avi file that was generated from Premiere6. Its 1hr 17 min long.

TMPGEnc starts encoding ok but at 12mins the picture goes black. The resultant mpeg file has picture and audio upto 12mins but then picture is black but audio is ok to end.

Anynody have any idead what is happing here?

akkers  2002-04-10 11:14:35 ( ID:984k0y6iduh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Its justplain DV avi. I think itis encoded with MS Dv codec or Pinnacle DV codec.

I have tried upping the priorities in Env settings. It makes the picture go green!

I am not sure why its ok for 12 mins and then causes problem.

How do I use different codecs? Where do I get them?


akkers  2002-04-10 22:21:07 ( ID:ujv2ebjxawc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have also tried other DV footage. This one also goes black at about 12:40mins.

Is this time 12:40mins some magical figure past which TMPGenc cannot handle?
