WHEN CREATING A VDC FROM AN AVI (DIVX) I GET A GOOD PICTURE BUT NO SOUND HELP?

Convert the audio from the AVI to a wav file first then load that into TMPG.

ASHY

I converted a couple of times the movie Shrek with different bitrates. After some tries wizard showed me that file is even below 600MB, but I still get 840MB file. What is wrong?

Now I know how to do that, you have to go to Setting, chose the System and then you have to change Stream Type - MPEG1 system (Automatic).

If you are intend to make VCD's from these MPEG1 files then the correct stream type is MPEG1 VCD(non)standard otherwise padding will be added to your MPEG regardless of the bitrate you choose.

If you have already encoded the file you can remove this padding by running the MPEG through the MPEGtools simple multiplexer and choose the MPEG1 vcd(non standard) as the type and the MPEG should reduce in size.

i continue getting a floating decimal point error while trying to convert a video file from avi to mpeg1

Search> decimal at the top of this board as I doubt you will get an answer for this.
It's been answered far too many times already.

i tried to encode to mpg and it said
can't load p3 package d.ll
at address 02c1db4a, read error occurred against address 02c1db4a

runtime error 216 at 0013c43c

Next to the SEARCH button you will find a small white rectangular box.
Type P3P Package in the box and click on SEARCH.

where? in tmpgenc plus? or in my computer? thank you

At the top of this BBS!!!

J-a-y-s-u-s. It gets worse.

well don't answer it then!

why you keep answering ALL the time? always complain about other people posting ALL the time, talk about yourself

Shut it Techno.

who?

Don't give me that crap. You know who you are.

ASHY

excuse me? I have no idea what you are talking about.
Is this how you talk to everyone here?

Forget about it Hardcore, ASHY derives his self-worth from his articles in this bulletin board, if you critisise him you dent his ego.

Griff

hehehe

Play dumb if you choose Techno, but changing your IP isn't fooling anyone on this board.
I know it's you as I have been tracking your movments on this board since you decided to show your self on here again.
You will never change will you, pathetic I'd say.

As for your sad comments Griff, I'm not even going to bother retorting this time, I don't have time for retards with a such a low level of intelligence.

ASHY

ASHY - think what you like, I have no idea who or what Techno is. you assume people are bad, people like you put a bad reputation on this BBS, thus puts off people from buying such a wonderful product.

LOL.......goodbye Techno.

that's it, I have had enough, I am not posting again in the BBS because of ASHY's ridiculas conclusions.

>I know it's you as I have been tracking your movments on this board since you decided to show your self on here again.

Very worrying.

Griff

heheh...nice 1 grief.....u do a better job :)

hello,

i¡­m trying to multiplex an mpeg video file with a wav audio file but tmpgenc won¡­t open the wav file, it only allows mp2/1/3etc... to multiplex.
someone please tell how can i do this,

thanks,

didi.

You can"t multiplex "Wav" audio to a mpeg file with tmpgenc or any software I have heard of,cuz there aren"t many formats that support mpeg video with wav audio ,some DVD"S do but very few,and svcd"s and vcd"s have to have mp1 or mp2,so the only way you are going to get audio muxed with your video is if you encode the wav to mp2 or to ac3 which is what most dvd"s are....

MPEGs do not support Wav audio multiplexing.
DVD authoring programs do allow PCM audio with MPEG2 as an audio track.

ASHY

If by multiplexing you mean edit the sound into the picture you need to use a program like Adobe Premier - not cheap - but if you can get a copy it will let you do what you want.

Otherwise minion's suggestion of the mp2/mp3/ac3 would be an alternative.

Griff

i tried to encode to mpg and it said
"the resolution of the video is illegal"
is that mean i never gonna encode that
file?

What it means is that the "output" resolution is Illegal, mpeg files have to be in resolutions that can be multiplied by 8, and your avi file probably has a resolution that is not supported, but if you load a "template" then the resolution will be set to a mpeg specification, you probably just loaded your file in and tried to start encodeing without loading a template, if you do this the mpeg resolution will be set to your avi resolution, so load your file in tmpgenc load either a vcd/ svcd/ or dvd template and then encode and the resolution will be set to the format you are encodeing to.....

I employ the last version of TMPEnc and I have a question.Can somebody help me and to explain how I then to cut a file MPEG in some of the same files cuts?

If I can employ another software to cut my videos, which is his name?
Thank you in advance.

I don"t really know exactly what you are talking about but it sounds like you are looking for a mpeg editor, there are quite a few good mpeg editors like "m2-edit pro" and "mpeg2vcr" and "ulead video studio, and, media studio" any of these will do a good job editing your mpeg files...

Is it possible to have an option to save out uncompressed audio from TMPGEnc.

I am using it to make DVD's and I would like to use AC3 for audio.

Currently I have to

1, Extract from my Tivo
2, Multiplex
3, Encode and edit in TMPGEnc
4, Demultiplex
5, AC3 encode in BeSweet
6, Multiplex

This has caused an extra encode of the audio in the chain, and will be reducing the quality. If the Audio could be made to come out of TMPGEnc as PCM Then I could avoid step 4 and quality loss.

Cheers

You could just not encode any audio in tmpgenc just the video, then mux the ac3 after encodeing is done.....

Can anyone help me with opening & encoding a DV file?
I have changed the VFW to priority 1 in the VFAPI plugin menu (as suggested at vcdhelp.com) but it won't encode the file.
It says 'Can not open or not supported'

thanks
Mark

You need a VFW DV codec.
Try the shareware MainConcept DV codec (good and fast) or the free Matrox DV codec (I don't know any of its "goodies").

Ps. It used to work, I don't know what I've done.....

I have an NTSC SVCD video that I have encoded that causes ZoomPlayer, BSPlayer, and WMP6.4 to freeze on the exact same frame. The clip however plays back fine in PowerDVD.

When it freezes the video stops playing immediately, and the sound continues for another second or two and then stops as well, but the time coutners in any of these players continues to run to the end of the file. If I attempt to click anything in any of the players the applications will freeze requiring an End Task from Task manager.

I have re-encoded this video about 4 or 5 times now, and it freezes at the same spot every time.

I have tried 2.55 and 2.56.

It appears to freeze ont he last frame before a scene change.

I have clipped out the relevant section of the file (it's about 8mb), if you would like it sent to you somehow (ftp, icq transfer, irc dcc), or my TMPG project file, e-mail me.

I have encoded many videos with TMPG and this is the first one i've experienced this with.

Thanks.

This is odviously a problem with the file you are encodeing as opposed to tmpgenc, there is probably a badly corrupted frame in the avi file at the exact point were it freezes,you can use the "cut editing" feature in the source range to skip encodeing the bad frame or frames were the problem happens....

Actually the surce file is fine, and TMPG reads every frame perfectly (i've performed a manual ivtc of this clip, so i've seen every frame).

I can encode the same source with CCE and it produces no such problems.

This *is* a problem somewhere in TMPG.

So every other file you encode turn"s out fine?It"s just this file that behaves this way when encodeing with tmpgenc?

It seems strange that TMPG is producing an error in this file.
I don't see why this would affect it, but as a test why don't you encode this movie without the manual IVTC,maybe use the automatic IVTC or non at all to see what effect it has. It may be a bug with the IVTC.

ASHY

I've tried everything I can think of to get it to work as it should, I failed to mention this was the first video i've encoded with the new versions and I don't recall what my previous version of TMPG was but it was expired so I had to upgrade and I never had this problem with it.

I now have a totally different source video with the exact same problem, again it freezes at the same specific point every time the video is played back.

It doesn't seem to matter what I do or how many ways I try encoding either of these videos, they continue freezing at the same location.

Lately, some of the new mpegs i made had a sound sync problem. I'm sure it wasn't a problem with the original avi since that played fine. This is just a suggestion to put something to fix any sync problems in the mpeg tools.

You can find the tool you are looking for in BBMPEG.
BBMPEG will allow you to skew the audio when multiplexing.

As a note, what most people don't realise is that a great percentage of these AVI's which have been downloaded which may play ok and in sync are usually at fault for sync probs not TMPG. The reason being is that a lot of these crappy AVI's are originally out of sync and have been adjusted by skewing the audio to re-sync the movie.
These then play ok, but when it comes to encoding this skew is ignored by the encoding program and thus ends up out of sync.
If the AVI is loaded into Virtualdub first it will usually tell you how much skew has been added. You can then add this skew to the MPEG using the audio gap correct in the source range before encoding.

at first i had no problems creating vcd. now everytime i use tmpgenc my movie plays good on my dvd for about 10 minutes and then it starts freezing. the converted version of the movie does the same thing on my computer while the unconverted version plays fine on my computer. PLEASE HELP
