i got a problem while installing TMPGenc Express its say

This installation package could not be opened.Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application venbor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package.

First I use TMPGEnc to encode my videos too vcd format. About half way through the tmpge batch I will stop it to see if I can load the movies into dvd author, it would work. When the batch is done, about %90 of the movies gives me the this is an illegal file error, most be mpg1 of mpg2. Anyway I can fix this problem?

TMPGEnc DVD Author is a DVD (not VCD) authoring tool. I suggest that you use TMPGEnc to encode my videos to DVD format(not VCD format). I would also suggest that you never interrupt TMPGEnc when it is encoding a mpg file as it may result in errors in your file.

Hi,
I've a dv video 16:9 format, pal. Then I look at the original dv video full size on my pc, the image occupies the entire width of the screen.
After the conversion, if I look at the mpeg video, full screen, the video lacks some pixels at the left / right border. But if I look at file properties, the width of mpeg is 720pixels, so it seems like the dimensions of the pixels was "reduced".
At this moment I haven't look at this video on a tv.
Why this strange behaivour?
Thanks.

hi!

my problem is:

i used my vob file with de-multiplex to get an m2v and and ac3 file and want to multiplex them to mpg! but i can add them in the "multiplex" window... i choose the files but the windows remains clear.. please help me!

You must convert your ac3 audio file to a MP2 file.
You can convert the ac3 file to a MP2 file using dBpowerAMP Music Converter.
You can find the latest version of dBpowerAMP Music Converter for free at:
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/bin/dMC-r11.5.exe

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To convert the ac3 file to a MP2 file:

1.) Open dBpowerAMP Music Converter
2.) Open your ac3 file3.) Choose Mp2
4.) Select Frequency 4800 and Bitrate 384kbps and click on "Convert"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To multiplex the video and audio together into a MPG file:

1.) Open TMPGEnc Plus
2.) Click on "File" and choose "MPEG Tools"
3.) Choose "MPEG-2 Program VBR" and brouse for your video input (M2V) and your audio input (MP2)
4.) Click on "Run" and it will multiplex the two files into one DVD compliant MPG file

I hope that is of help to you

I am trying to add a watermark to a video using the shareware version 2.5. I am new to this and have no idea where to start or if it is even at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

My CPU temp is going upto 97oC when using TMPGEnc, and eventually causes
the machine to shut off.

Is there anyway to reduce how much of the CPU it uses?

Milesy, I had a similar problem. The simple fact is there's no way to reduce the CPU usage that TMPGEnc needs. The only solution is to buy a better processor. As fot the shutting down problem, it's probably because your CPU is clogged up with dust and the fan is not able to cool it properly. Once it goes above the maximum operational temperature it will shut off. Open up your PC, take the fan off the CPU unit (it should just click off and on) and clean really well inside it. You should have no more shutting down problems after that. I didn't.

You shouldn't click the CPU heatsink back on without some arctic silver.

Better yet, don't remove the heatsink at all, only clean the fan.

Or add a case-fan...

There are many ways to cool it down.

Differents in GOP-setting between old Tempgenc version 2.512.52.161 and the new version 2.524.63.181.

Settings in the GOP-structure of my SVCD template :
Number of I picture in GOP = 1
Number of P picture in GOP = 4
Number of B picture in GOP = 2
Output interval of sequence header = 0
MAX number of frames in a GOP not active

Output bitstream for edit = uncheck (not marked)
Detect Scene change = check (marked)
Force picture type setting = uncheck (not marked)


With setting as described above we get following GOP-structure :

Old Tempgenc : version 2.512.52.161 IBBPBBPBBPBBPBB
This GOP structure begins with I en ends with BB

New Tempgenc : version 2.524.63.181 BBIBBPBBPBBPBBP
This GOP structure begins with BB en ends with P

Whats the correct GOP-structure IBBPBBPBBPBBPBBPBB or BBIBBPBBPBBPBBP
Is this (BBIBBPBBPBBPBBP) a bug in the new version 2.524.63.181 ?

Many thanks.

How do you use the unlock feature where dose it have to be placed and/or loaded to get it to work?

I have a flash asf recorder saves on sd card. I capture tv shows 352x 240 for pda playback. I go asf to avi then use vdub to take out ads. How do I set the batch function on tmpgenc up to do a bunch of avi to mpg's at once. I've read the boards but can't quite figure the process.

Thanks

To use batch function set up your project (don't run/start it) and then save the project to a file. Do all the projects you need saving each one to a separate file. Now load batch function and add those saved projects. You may save the batch if you want I always do. Now run the batch.

Unfortunately batch does not work with MPEG tools. I'm hoping for that to be included in the next upgrade.

Thanks a bunch Kevin

A question about Merge and Cut in MPEG Tools TMPGENC 2.5 free version. Using on DVD standard MPEG files. Generally this tool works OK but sometimes I've noticed that it does not follow exactly the cut points I entered. Most often a few extra frames are added or if I'm removing just one frame from the beginning or end of a file it won't do it. I know this has something to do with creating MPEG2 files to a specific multiple number of frames/time code multiple/file size multiple but what exactly are the parameters?

Every time I try to select an AVI file to convert, it says it cannot open or it is unsupported. I tried downloading the DivX codec but it still says the same thing. Why is the program doing this and what can I do to solve it, please?

Dowload Gspot codec information appliance (search on google). Then load the movie with it and check the codec you need. Search for the codecs and install them.

Hey,

I have the same problem.

But I can play that avi file with Windows Media player, just cannot open in Tmpgenc.

Help!!!

Same problem with me.
Message:
"AVI-file can not open, or not supported"

I can play the AVI with Media-player.

Gspot reports as codec "mjpg" and it tells me
that 2 compatible codecs are installed on my system:
- AVI Draw
- MJPEG Decompressor

Exactly same problem here. I can play avis but no open in TMPGEnc 2.5 "AVI-file can not open, or not supported"

I'm using the project wizard and im doing a NTSC CBR MP2 encode. When i'm comparing the preview of my video (with TMPEnc) and the m2v file after the encoding, the video size differ. I just want to know if someone else have this problem.
