Question - TE25 - Video clip to DVD, What progams to use? No.25349
Drivnvws  2002-07-22 22:39:40 ( ID:.stz9egjbkj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, I have just encoded a video clip to DVD(using TMPGEne). I have done this before, but went from video clip to VCD, and it has worked fine, after working out a few problems. I changed the bitrate to around 4300 (to maintain high DVD quality) to keep the file size under 4 gigs and then waited the 12-13 hours the process took, looked exactly the same as when I did the VCDs, only took longer. I used Record Now DX (the software that came with the DVD writer) to burn the converted file to a DVD-RW, which took an hour. But when I put the burned DVD-RW in my DVD player, the DVD icon apeared (showing that the player recognizes the DVD), but the No Play statement appeared across the DVD window. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong. Thank you, Emily

Did you actually author this file to create the correct file structure and vobs or did you simply burn the file as is with your software.

The MPEG TMPG created needs to be authored by a DVD authoring program to create the correct file structure before burning otherwise your player won't recognize the files on it.

Here is a link to some DVD authoring programs.

Question - TE25 - DivX->MPEG-1 = gigantic file, plz help No.25345
osiris  Home )  2002-07-22 22:31:52 ( ID:x.rmf5quc.f )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm trying to convert a DivX avi to MPEG-1. This has always worked perfectly before (with other files, in size 512 x 352).

Input (according to WinXP file properties):
DIVXMPG4 V3, 512 x 384, 25fps, 134kbps, 24 bit
Audio 128 kpbs, MPEG Layer-3
Duration: 44:06
File size: 348 MB

I want it in VCD format, PAL or NTSC (guess PAL is the correct choice given fps of source). Conversion works in TMPGenc 2.57, but gives me output file of ridiculous 1 214 MB (!) (using the project wizard).

Tried some different stuff, for instance outputting it in 352 x 288 by making a project myself and changing resolution in (Main window) Setting button->Video tab->size. But this just gives me repeated errors ("-562303043 362016").

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I don't feel 100% intelligent right now :-/

I encountered the same problem until someone here previously told me that there is some glitch with tmpgenc and divxmpeg4 v3. Well not really a glitch but the problem is easily solved by using Virtualdub. Just extract the audio using virtualdub and use the extracted audio file for the audio source instead of the divx file that you are trying to convert. Hope that helps.

you can get virtualdub at
www.virtualdub.org

Thx, works fine. Needs one extra tweak though, I have to set end frame manually (not too much work). Strange though, if I drag the slider to the maximum right and press "set end frame" it displays the correct value, it's only if I leave it at -1 that it predicts the wrong size.


Olli  2002-07-23 15:28:42 ( ID:k24fqlswccn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What usually works for me is to decompress the audio using the decompress utility which is bundled in with avi2vcd - that way you get one large avi with decompressed audio and specify it as both audio and video source.

ok when i convert a avi file to mpg, the mpg always goes slow and skips then gradually skips and gets slower untill it just stops after a while then resumes, how can this be resolved?
a better explanation would be, that when i play the mpg file, it goes slow through the whole movie, like skipping through the whole movie, i dont know how to explain it better, but i do need help can someone help me?

1)Are you creating VCD/XVCD/SVCD/XSVCD ?

2)Have you checked vcdhelp.com to see the reports on your player to see what bitrates it will handle ?

3)What do you use to burn your VCD's

4)Are you trying to play a PAL VCD on an NTSC TV ? (or vice versa)


ASHY  2002-07-23 17:10:10 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

There are a couple of things that may be causing this.

1. You have not attached VCD headers to the MPEG. Whenever you encode to MPEG or split the file using MPEGtools you must make sure the stream type is 'MPEG1 VCD' if it's a standard VCD or 'MPEG1 VCD(non standard)' if it's out of standard. Run the file through the MPEGtools simple multiplexer with the option above.
Does your burning software give you any warnings?

2. It could be a fault of your burning software which is not compatible with your player. Which software are you using and are you using the correct VCD burning option?

3. You are burning your VCD at a speed which is to high. Most if not all players have a problem with disks burned above 4x, so if this is the case reduce your burn speed.

the basic problem is that when it is in avi, it plays beautiful, but when converted to mpg it plays skippy like a bitch, so somewhere along the way when i use tmpgenc, i am doing something wrong, thanks for the advice. though :)

Bagatur  2002-07-22 21:11:14 ( ID:2cjarkgbnqr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

so i have converted an avi into svcd and when i watch mpegs - there is this
delay between video and sound.
how do i fix it?
can i fix it EXACTLY or i will have to guess some numbers to try to get it right?
and how do i fix it anyway?
please give me a detailed instruction how to do it?
or maybe there is some website with very good description of what to do in
this case?


Minion  2002-07-22 23:13:58 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You can use "mpeg2vcr" or "bbmpeg" cuz they have to option to off set the audio to the video in the multiplexor to correct sync issues.But it is a game of guessing....................



Question - TE25 - No video after converting avi 2 mpeg (have changed priority to 2) No.25335
Greg  2002-07-22 18:17:32 ( ID:exsc9c5s.wm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have no video after converting from avi to mpeg.

I have changed the priority to a 2 and everything else to 0 on the options screen but I still see no video.

When it is encoding I do not see video.

After the movie is encoded I get a black screen and the audio.

Please help

I have check other postings but the changing of the priority seemed to help them.

I also can watch the avi on my media player before the encode but after I get the black screen.

Thanks for any help

Make sure you have all the divx codecs installed. I had the same problem until I installed all codecs. Go to VCD Help to get them. www.vcdhelp.com

Hi. I am having the same problem. The strange thing is that I was having no
problems at all. Then all of the sudden it won't open any mpeg files at all
including the ones that I made previously with the program. I'm using the
2.56 plus version. I have a report to tech support but so far no reply.


Till  2002-07-24 22:22:34 ( ID:c1zrtgdhih. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I also have the same problem.
I'm using the version 2.57.41.146-Plus-EN, that I just bought. (yes I think we have to buy such nice package).
The strangest thing is that it happens on file that I previously was able to open from within TMPGEncode.
It definetely looks like this is a recurent pb since I read similar pb on the list without being able to fix it with the solutions provided.
I'd love to have s.o. from TMPG to have a look at it.

ASHY  2002-07-22 15:01:46 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yes, but you will need an MPEG2 codec to open the file or you could frameserve it from DVD2AVI.
After you have set up the file to be encoded, you would the click File>Output to file>AVI file and then choose the codec and parameters you wish to encode the AVI to.

Bug report - TE25 - No sound in Windows Media Player No.25317
simonaa  2002-07-22 11:19:04 ( ID:zvcflshclp2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just downloaded TMPGenc and installed.

Took an AVI file that I know plays fine and ran part of it through TMPG to produce a PAL mpg - VCD standard at 25fps, 352x288 - all the standard defaults from the wizard.

Ran the .mpg file with Windows Media Player and picture is fine - but no sound.

Has anyone else found the same problem. It seems quite a basic issue. ??

Thanks
/simon


ASHY  2002-07-22 12:52:47 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It may not be media player that is at fault. If your AVi had Ac3 as the audio then it is likely you have encoded your MPEG without sound as TMPG does not support Ac3. Try your MPEG in a proper MPEG player. I recommend WinDVD, it is available as a free download from Intervideo.com. If there is no sound here too then it is your MPEG which is at fault not Media player.

What you need to do in this situation is extract the audio from the AVI to a wav file and use that as your audio source in TMPG.

ASHY


simonaa  2002-07-22 20:45:22 ( ID:zvcflshclp2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for the feedback, I tried running the output mpg in a number of players - all no sound.

Original Avi shows DivX MPG4 with 48kHz, Sterio, 16 bit sound.
Output mpg shows MPEG1, 44.1KHz, Sterio, 16 bit sound.

Couple of questions -
How can I tell of the avi had AC3 encoding?
How can I extract the sound to a wav file?

/Simonaa


Minion  2002-07-23 04:55:16 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Try playing it with "dvd playing software" cuz it will play AC3 but if it doesn"t play it then the file probably has no audio but if it is ac3 then you can extract the audio to a wav file with an ac3 decoder you should be able to get it here

ASHY  2002-07-23 17:44:41 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm not sure about the audio. 48kHz, Stereo, 16 bit sound usually means Ac3.
Where did you get this information?
Try extracting the audio to a wav with AVImux.
http://www.bsplayer.org/avimux04.zip

Just load the AVI, check the audio stream then right click it and choose PCM as the audio compression.

Question - TE25 - Plus version No.25310
Olli  2002-07-22 07:18:59 ( ID:dazey0v8lbg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

How many people here actually use the plus version ?
Is it worth purchasing if all Im going to be doing is converting DIVX to XVCD ?

I know it has a few whistles and bells, but is the plus version going to offer me any radical chnages that will improve my encoding by a noticeable amount ?

P.S Yes I have read the readme on the plus version, I'm just interested what peoples opinions are


Minion  2002-07-22 08:10:07 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

There isn"t really any reason if you are just doing mpeg1/vcd accept that it is faster, but if you are doing mpeg2/svcd/dvd then it is worth the price cuz the mpeg2 encodeing is better and faster with the plus version.


Olli  2002-07-22 09:17:43 ( ID:k24fqlswccn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks ...


ASHY  2002-07-22 13:03:23 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm not sure about the faster encoding Minion as I think the speed is the same for both versions as they both use the same version encoding engine. I must say that I haven't noticed any speed improvement using the plus version compared to the standard version.

The thing I would say to you Olli is that it is obvious you want that bit of extra quality compared to VCD as you are encoding XVCD. If this is the case then it is likely you will eventually want to encode to MPEG2 as SVCD is superior in quality to VCD. Once you have got the hang of MPEG2 encoding it is unlikely you would want to go back to MPEG1 providing your player can handle SVCD.

I have created some excellant SVCD's which just could not be matched by XVCD and with a few tweaks here and there manage to get most of my movies on 2 cd's with a nice quality.

Basically all I'm saying is if your serious about quality, MPEG2 is the only way to go and for that you need the plus version.

Minion  2002-07-22 23:08:40 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have noticed about 10% quicker encodeing for mpeg2 on the plus version on my 1.7ghz system as opposed to the demo version but I didn"t really notice any differance on my old 800mhz system...


Olli  2002-07-23 00:43:17 ( ID:dazey0v8lbg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for the info guys ...
Ashy ..unfortunately my DVD player doesnt handle SVCD.

I have heard that it is possible to 'fool' the player by creating an SVCD and then re-writing the header as MPEG1 instead of MPGEG2 so the player thinks it is playing a VCD but I havent tried this yet.

What advantage is there to me creating SVCD's seeing as my XVCD's are already at SVCD bitrate (ca 2500) and resolution (480x576). Does MPEG2 produce a better quality image ?

thanks

Olli

I downloaded the program and tried to install it when I do I get a message "This archive is not a valid Zip archive". I delete the file and tried to download it 4 other time and every time I get the same message. Is there only one specific type of zip program that will open this file? The zip I am using is Camzip and I never have trouble opening other files. How can I get this program installed?

The problem is almost certainly the decompression program you are using. It is known that TMPG does not unzip correctly with certain programs.

Try Winrar, it never seems to have any problems like this.

ASHY


Dan  2002-07-22 17:54:41 ( ID:k5hwznt.r8n )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Winrar doesn't work ether I keep get all types of error messages.


ASHY  2002-07-22 18:22:44 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If Winrar is giving you an error and you are using a recent version then there must be somehthing wrong with the zip file.
There are two things you can try. One is download the program from another source. The second is do not use a download manager when downloading.
