Question - TME2 - TMPGEnc version 2.58.44.152 won't take avi files No.56083
Ellie  2007-07-12 18:21:29 ( ID:hjmpx4dcirn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello... I am trying to edit some video clips... I can without problem take mpg and cut it etc... but when I choose .avi I only get video!!! The sound WONT come up!!!! I have no idea what to do... have tried everything... am I missing codecs or something???

Plz help me!!!!

I need my program to work... plz...


nTekka  2007-07-12 21:46:35 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You may be right, probably a missing codec, either AC3, AAC or MP3. Likely MP3 because your using AVI container. Use GSpot on your source video to find out what audio it uses then download the appropriate codec online somewhere.

Let me know if i'm way off or if you run into some other problems.


Ellie  2007-07-13 17:23:01 ( ID:hjmpx4dcirn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have used Gspot already and it say that I aint missing any codecs... I have no idea what is wrong... Gspot said everything is working and all codecs are in place... but I am gonna try clean regedit once and then install TMPGEnc again and if that doesnt work I will upgrade codecs anyway...

Could this problem have anything to do with the fact that I dont have Windows Media installed? I only have window media classic installed because I use other programs to watch video clips..


Ellie  2007-07-13 17:37:31 ( ID:hjmpx4dcirn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

ooooooooooook I decided to try with "lots of stuff" option instead of custom option on codec install and now avi is showing up... damm it was codec all along... problem solved...


Ellie  2007-07-13 17:45:33 ( ID:hjmpx4dcirn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooook me yet again... program is now showing audio link also under video link BUT when I try to edit the clip only video ends up... still NO sound... what the heck is the problem????

before audio wasnt showing but now it is.... still need help guys...


nTekka  2007-07-24 00:07:30 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

ooooooooooooooook but this time it would help if you can tell me what audio codec your avi file uses. Probably best if you simply download a codec pack with all the codecs you ever want to use, but be warned this could cause problems later on if your unorganized. It will probably work for the meantime tho, go to www.freecodec.com and download K-Lite 3.25 Full, then load up TMPGEnc 2.5 and import your files again. Also make sure that you have DirectShow file reader enabled in the Options > Environmental settings > VFAPI Plug-in and uncheck AVI file reader so FFDShow can kick in to decode your file.

Let me know if this works.



Question - TE40 - Which resize/crop values are taken ? No.58096
pstein  2007-07-12 12:15:57 ( ID:x1ksultpg/6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I want to re-encode an avi video with TMPGEnc Xpress.
After loading the avi I have a couple of possibilities to set the target size:

In "Source"
in "Format"
In "Format"->DivX codec Settings"

Which one is taken ?

Similar question with "crop" values: I can set cropping values in "Source"
and in "DivX-Settings" Which are taken for the encoding process ?

It seems to me that the values in DivX-Settings are NOT considered ?

Further question: Is the video cropped at first and then resized or vice versa ?


nTekka  2007-07-12 21:43:12 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm assuming "Source" = "Filters" with Picture resize and Picture crop. Another thing to clear up, which output template are you refering to with "DivX-Settings". There is only two available templates, DivX file output and AVI file output which you can select the external DivX codec.

Now that the confusion/terminology is cleared up, i'll start with the Filters.
Picture resize will modify the source pixel video resolution, same with cropping.
When you select Format output, the resolution here would be your "viewing" resolution. Here's an example, 720x480 pixel video is the source, lets say i resize it to 352x240 with the picture resize filter. Then during the format I use the size 720x480 then this will be my new viewing resolution and the source video (352x240) will be in the center of the 720x480 viewing resolution. Another aspect to all this is the aspect ratio, which doesn't modify the resolution, but simply stretches the pixel to fill up 16:9 or 4:3 ratio.

I hope that answers your question, I recommend not touching the resize filter and simply change the viewing resolution in Format tab, it will automatically resize the source video to fit within this viewing resolution.



Question - TE25 - Encoding No.43665
bus56f  2007-07-10 21:38:13 ( ID:j8gthqkbcin )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Tmpgenc took about three hours to encode a full movie, now all of a sudden it takes 7 to 8 hours just for one movie. Can any one help me?


nTekka  2007-07-11 23:41:09 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It all depends on your source file and system. TMPGEnc 2.5 is the same for all computers, so if theres any problems its very likely to be either your source video or your system.

With that said, the increased speed is probably a codec corruption that's taking your system resource and or having difficulties reading your source file. Best way to fix it is to find out more details on your source file and double check your system for any particular codec conflict or corruption. Another piece of advice, don't ever install FFDShow filter or codec packs unless you are an experience user, it will only cause more trouble.



Question - TE25 - No sound after merge and cut the mpg file No.43663
Old Guy  2007-07-10 13:27:57 ( ID:ymva1ultffc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I combine audio and video by Mpeg tool and the result file MPG have sound. But when I use the merge and edit function to cut a part from the MPG file. The result is no sound but the file before edit is normal. I cannot find what I did it is wrong. Please help. Thank you very much.


nTekka  2007-07-11 23:36:58 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Can you give me some details on your source file? codec for both video and audio. Are you able to see the audio input if you manually import the video? I'm guessing you might be missing a codec, likely MP3 codec if its AVI file, AC3 if you have MPEG.
I recommend downloading GSpot to check your source file to find the codec and download the appropriate one.



Question - TE40 - CONVERTING MPEG2 PAL to MPEG2 NTSC No.58094
audioprojects  2007-07-04 12:12:54 ( ID:lltxir4nf/g )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I converted a mpeg2 PAL to a mpeg2 NTSC and the problem that I have right now is that the audios from the PAL version don´t fit with the NTSC video...normally, when you convert a movie the audio is going to work with any of these two formats...but in this case the audio is getting desincronice during the movie...and at the end the result is 3 or 4 seconds delay.
Also, the PAL version movie is : 02:05:55:19 and the result to make it on NTSC is:02:05:48:06...?????The normal result could be more long than the PAL version....
If some body knows something about it...let me know

Ciao!!

nTekka  2007-07-06 01:34:51 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TXP4 usually does a good job with converting PAL <> NTSC, most cases it depends on your source file. Give us some details to your source file, like bitrate, codec for video and audio, VBR/CBR?, etc.

I'm assuming your source is AVI, I think i've said this before but AVI is open source so it doesn't have much of a standard so there is more problem with this format. However, it is also easy to fix. Just download the correct codec then go into TXP4 Options > Preferences > File input > uncheck both the DivX and Avi file reader.

That will put DirectShow file reader as the primary and it will use your PC's external codec to decode. This has worked for me so give it a try, if not then you could always demultiplex your audio and convert it to WAVE.



Question - TE30 - DVR-MS to mpg without re-encode No.53547
SoupNazi  Home )  2007-07-04 02:00:00 ( ID:zj3shyrloen )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi

How can I use TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress to convert dvr-ms to mpg WITHOUT re-encoding?


nTekka  2007-07-06 01:38:55 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Use the Source Wizard and make sure you check the "Convert to MPEG-2" checkbox, let it finish converting then go to "C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\My Documents\TMPGEnc\TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress\DVRMS Convert\" or where ever you told it to save the MPEG2 file to.

The converted MPEG2 file should be in there. Next time post in the correct forum, this is for TXP3.



Question - TE40 - Mpeg Joiner [Merge & Cut] No.58092
richTV  2007-06-26 00:02:47 ( ID:1cdehql10ec )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I've always wondered why TMPGEnc3.0 and now 4.0 XPress [i'm using 4.2.3.193] never had a mpg joiner built into them under the MPeg Tools part of it. All it has are the Multiplexer and DeMultiplexer tabs but in the freeware version, the MPeg Tools has the Merge & Cut tab.

if i have a bunch of mpg's i want to join back together then i end up using the freeware version of TMPGEnc.

since it would make sense to put that function into XPress as well.

tnx for reading.


nTekka  2007-06-26 22:12:27 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It would make sense to have this option, but its not necessarily the correct way. MPEG joining or any type of video joining will cause problems down the line and isn't very accurate. On the surface level it might sound easy if you have 2 MPEGs with similar setting so naturally you would think its ok to join them, but what if the GOP are slightly off, what if the audio and video are variable bitrate? how would the program know how to correct these differences to create a smooth video. Ultimately, you may end up with audio/video desync or degrade in quality. Professionally, you do not want to ever merge two separate clips, you would want to re-encode them to have a consistant video.

So to put it simply, I can understand why TMPG would remove a feature that could cause problems because they want to maintain high standard like the Pro's for a commercial software. Freeware = anything goes.



Question - TE40 - Converting an avi with 2 sound tracks... No.58087
burf  2007-06-25 03:52:27 ( ID:w3v4cyiyn7h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm pretty new to TMPGEnc Xpress.
I have an avi I want to convert to DVD.
The avi has 2 audio tracks, track 1 is ac3 in English, and track 2 is mp3 in French.
When I've tried to convert it, I'm not seeing any way to lose track 2.
And when I've tested how I have it configured, the output has no audible audio, although Gspot, and other utilities say it has an audio track.

Can someone give me a clue, how to do this?

Thanks for any help!


nTekka  2007-06-26 22:01:19 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TXP4 will only import the first Audio for any AVI video.
Best way to get the 2nd audio is to demultiplex all audio from your AVI file then manually add it in the clip property when you import your video.
Use VirtualDub to demultiplex or extract your audio to WAVE. Theres really no other way to have TXP4 show two audio for AVI.

Hi!

I tried your solution.
Problem is, I cant even add a second audio source in the clip properties (using TMPEGEnc 4.0 Xpress), only replace the one included in the video source.

How can I add a second audio tab?

Regards,
Chris

i have not been able to find this either, i don't get how some of the more basic features get left out of this product, like 5.1 audio, and multiple audio tracks, as these are features supported by the formats tmpgenc outputs to, so while it works for 90% of the files i work with, i have to get and learn a whole different program for the other 10%



Question - TE40 - Video/Audio lag No.58083
mukoh  2007-06-23 22:57:32 ( ID:mjsfs3y0w2l )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

We are trying to encode WMV format video. Video consistantly lags behind audio. Original has it just fine, once we encode to WMV it lags.
How can we fix it?


nTekka  2007-06-26 21:51:00 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It would help if you can tell us your source format, from my experience, AVI container has the most audio sync issue. You have a few options if its AVI,
1. Extract the audio and convert it to WAVE (TXP4 doesn't handle VBR MPEG Audio very well) then import it as your audio source under the clip property when you import the video.

2. Find out how many seconds your video lags behind audio and use TXP4 audio delay and see if that helps assuming this lag is consistant and not progressive.

3. If it is progressive lag then you may have a faster or slower framerate for video compared to audio. This site may help you work out your problem, http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0064.html

4. Lastly, if it plays fine for a certain time then starts to get out of sync then your video may have been joined or encoded at separate times which might be harder to fix but do-able, just use VirtualDub to split where the problem is and try to sync it back up then do a re-encode of both parts for a complete file.

Is there an audo delay in TMPEG Xpress Pro 4.0? Where is it haven't been able to find it.


nTekka  2007-07-03 00:08:33 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It's in the "Cut-Edit" section, to the left of the big Undo button. "Audio gap correction" it means the same as Audio Delay. Type in a negative number to slow down the audio.



Request - TE40 - HD-DVD (EVO files) as sources No.58081
hitekalex  2007-06-19 03:49:03 ( ID:8ukhwsfbbuh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am wondering if there are any plans to add support for HD-DVD sources
(EVO files), and support converting them into WMV-HD? This would be a tremendous feature that would make TMPGEnc product unique from all the competition.

There is a number of us looking for ''one-click'' process to
do HD-DVD to WMV conversion (mainly to obtain Xbox360
compatibility). If you look at this thread on Doom9, the
current process involves 10-12 steps and is highly complex:

This would be an awesome feature but I think you might be asking for too much. Theres a big war going on with AACS copy protection and fair use issues, I don't think it will be easy to have a commercial program get the required licensing to convert ripped EVO files from HD-DVD/Blu-Ray.

The guide doesn't seem all that bad, only 5 steps, the 10-12 steps you mentioned were just a list of software you may need, but for some video enthusiast that ventures into HD probably already have 70% of these software installed on their computer and ready to do the 5 steps to convert an EVO file.



Question - TE40 - iPod compatible video? No.58076
dasfoo  2007-06-11 07:42:06 ( ID:cptm.eoltq6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

I've been trying to take a divx file and make from it an mp4 video that will play on my ipod. I've tried a few different configurations of the mp4 settings in TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress (Ver. 4.2.10.211), but I always end up with my ipod only playing the audio and not the video. I have a fairly new 80GB model.

Is there a trick to making this work? I'd prefer to use TMPGenc for this, as it's my favored software for all other encoding.

Thanks.


nTekka  2007-06-13 19:19:19 ( ID:xm63vwycnrl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You might want to try ISO MPEG-4 template and make sure to change the output container type to iPod Video with the default settings, this should create an iPod compatible video.

(Experimental) Try using QuickTime template to create a .mov file using H.264 codec, once it finishes encoding, rename the extension to .m4v.


Andre Crespo  2007-08-09 22:56:08 ( ID:eo8unkl6quc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I did some videos to ipod 5.5G h264 and they are played but I don't like the block in scene change. I did a conversion with mainconcept h264 with the same settings and I don't have these blocks. Maybe you are using a old version of mainconcept codec.
Also, you don't enable all options avaiable in mainconcept h264. Can you resolve these problems?


balkansofia  2007-09-04 09:54:23 ( ID:bnmv84hwvah )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

There is a trick to making work. I like TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress too.If you use ISO MPEG-4 not a problem,but when you use MPEG-4 AVC /H264/ you can't transfer video file to iPod via iTunes I don't know why is a maybe some restrictions with iTunes or iPod.
You do video file MPEG-4 AVC /H264/ =Baseline=Level 3=640x480=Average Bitrate 1500kb/s =1 or 2 pass your choise= The other settings are not important.
To transfer this video to your iPod you need Anapod Explorer do the some function like iTunes,then you may need to do some work with the tag.
That is the trick transfer with Anapod Explorer........

You Andre Crespo you did 320x240 with Mainconcept- when you do 640x480-1500kb/s and you transfer this file to iPod via iTunes callllllll meeee.....

I'm having the same problem but ONLY when using the "iPOD Video" container. iTunes doesn't even recognize the file then. If I do normal video, then make sure the bitrate is appropriate on the output, iTunes/iPod/iPhone see it and play it just fine...weird.



Question - TE25 - Hard codeing subs No.43661

My dvd player plays Xvid ,so when i goto a family gathering I like to bering dvd's for the kids to watch ,So I rip the dvd to avi and one set of english sub(some of the older people watch as well) and I hard code them using TMPGEnc Plus 2.5.So i just put the sub pack in the same folder as the avi I am codeing it to and click save as>avi...then i select my xvid codec and i set my audio as WMA V2 @ 128kbps, 48 khz,stereo 15/kb/s(my player only decodes Compression format : Dolby Digital, MP3, PCM, WMA
MP3 bit rates : 32 - 256 kbps and no matter what it freezes at 51%

It might be easier to use TMPGEnc 2.5 for encoding just the video without subtitles. Subtitles isn't supported natively in TMPGEnc 2.5 so are you using a plug-in? From my experience, plug-ins from 3rd party will cause problems so its better to just use the program for what its good at then use VirtualDub to overlay the subtitles and do a quick recompress, all of it should take a few minutes.
