Sorry about stupped question.
All the time what I stoped convertation
and after any time try to continue -
it's start from "start point".
What's wrong?

You cannot continue from where you left off.
You could use the source range function to begin the encoding from the point you stopped it though.

Sorry for the double post. Confused the meaning of title. LOL.

Good day to you all. I have this problem I hope expert here can help me.
I try to merge 2 mpg files using TMPGEnc. It merge & play successfully but whenever it reach the point of joint, it would sound a short beep. What cause this? Anyway to solve it?

Thank you very much in advance to you all.

Thank you very much in advance to you all.

So that's why people post with that daft 'Mr' subject line is it!

When you join ensure you click the 'Correct' button first.
If that doesn't cure it then try moving the join a few frames. I.E take a few frames off the end of the first part or take a few off the beginning of the second part.

There are people having the same mistake as me?? :D

I tried all this before. Hopefully you still have other solution?

Hi there.

Need help. I just downloaded the 2.5 and I'm trying to convert some of my AVIs. I'm using Pinacle Studio AV/DV to capture videos then edit them with Adobe Premier Pro. From there I export my video to Microsoft DV AVI. From that, I take the DV AVI file and convert it using TMPGEnc 2.5. Thing is when I do that, like I said, I end up with a blank video. Anyone seen this? Any know what I need to do?

Another thing is when I export the video using Studio 9 to AVI then use TMPGEnc, it converts just fine. So why not the videos I make with Premier?

Hope anyone can help. Thanks in advance for anyone who'll try.

Oops! Seems like I posted this on the wrong bulletin board, the 3.0. Anyhow, please help.

Thanks again.

IÃ×e downloaded the TMGenc DVD Author trial to test and have a few questions and comments:

I added 3 clips capture with Pinnacle Movie Box USB in the format PAL 720x576, 4:3, 2100 VBR, MPEG 1 L2 Audio 48khz, 192 kbps.
TMGenc DVD Author says that the clips wont fit on a disc I use 4.6 GB. The same clips added to ULEAD Movie Factory will fit onto the disc, it says 4.3 GB without any re-rendering. Why is there a difference?

IÃ×e then set start and stop positions in order to get a size that fits onto the discs. The tool permits to set chapter marks outside the start/end positions.

The DVD writing tool says that the size on the disc will be 2.6 GB, after burning aprox. 5mm of the disc will be unused.

The DVD writing tool says that the progress is 90% after 602000 sectors of 1234402 sectors, that seems wrong too.

The first clip (source file) has a small clutch in the middle of the movie, that can be seen when playing in the computer using a DVD player software such as Windows Media player. The sound after that is however ok, i.e. in sync with the picture.
Playing the burned DVD from TMGenc DVD Author, on a standalone player will show the the same picture error but the sound will from then on be out of sync by several seconds.

IÃ×e added automatic chapters every 5 minutes on all 3 clips. This work fine in the TMGenc DVD Author tool. On the burned disc however the result is ok for the first clip, for the second it stops after 8 chapters and returns back to the main menu.

Finally compared with other products the price seems terrible high. There is no capture, no re-rendering possibilities, you have to pay extra for ac-3 encoder, etc. keep the price but ship it with TMPGenc Plus and the mpeg2 and AC-3 encoder then you might be competitive.

Even so it looks very nice and is easy to use it doesnÃÕ seem very stable at this point of time so I doubt that I will purchase it.

I sent the same text to support too.

That's a pinnacle Problem. This software does not produce a 100% compliant MPEG2-Stream. Use Project X to demux the Video first and it will work fine - in any Authoring-Tool.

Get used to it. And good luck getting a response from support -- much less one that isn't snide or outright insulting.

I record vob files from a Panasonic dvd recorder. When I bring the vob files into TMPGEen the length of the video under properties is very short when compared to actual length of the video. Is there anyway to reset the length of the video to the actual clip length? This causes problems when I try to recombine the audio and video as it cuts off at the originally listed length.

I have a little problem here that irritates me at times. I have an old TV-Tuner card and that old TV Tuner Card only support AVI files. I had to choose uncompressed AVI to prevent frames being drop out during recording. Well, the uncompressed AVI files really eats up my 40GB Harddisk - 10 minutes for almost 2 GB!!
When I tried to encode these captures into Mpeg files to save space, TMPGEnc will encode for first few 4000-7000 frames, it will claim it is finished. (but it was not...) This will always happens on the 8 - 10 minutes video capture. In worst cases, the Operating System hangs.
This is my system specification:
AMD Duron 800MHZ
WInsonic WSV6A17 (VIA KT133 Chipset)
Gigabyte ATI Radeon 7000 64 MB DDR
256MB PC133 SD-ram
Hauppauge WinTV Go! PCI TV Tuner Card
Maxtor DiamondMax plus-8 7,200RPM 2MB Buffer 40GB
Windows 98 Second Edition

This used to be an old problem with the AVI size limit barrier in TMPG, but it should now be fixed.

Open TMPG and go to Options>Enviromental settings>Vfapi plugins and raise the priority of the 'AVI2(Open DML) file reader' to 2 or 3 making sure it is top of the list then try again.

If you still have porblems after that you may need to frame serve the file with AVIsynth.

By the way if you want to improve your capture rate try changing your capture software.
I use to capture with a P3 500 and 128mb RAM at 400x300 without dropping any frames.
Some people say don't use DIVX for capture, but I used to get excellant rates capturing with DIVX 5 and setting the the Performance/Quality to fastest.
Fastes won't reduce the quality, but it will use less compression and create a bigger file, but far less than an uncompressed AVI.

Make sure you have WDM drivers installed for your capture card and use WDM capture software.
The best capture program I have used and will give you a better capture rate than most is IUVCR. You can also use the modified and improved WDM drivers that they have for your card.

Ah ha! I works completely! I even works with my AVI file that is 2.51GB (windows 98 claimed the file size is -1592908800 bytes) Wonderful! Thanks you Ashy. How I can encoded them without spliting and recominding them now. Thanks a lot.
(*psst: now then I know why is program haven't been updated since 2003, it has no more problems and doesn't needs an update!! :D)
Once again, Thanks.

Glad u got it sorted.

Uh-Oh....
I have the same problem again for today's TV show... :D
I made the piority to 20 and it don't seems to work...
Anymore way to solve this problem...

Hi,

I get always this error:

>Invalid sample format (error code 0x80048002)

Anyone else see this ? And better yet, have a solution ?

Thanks,
cu hm

Yes, I am also getting this error. I have no idea what it means or what to do. If I use TMPGEnc 2.5, it don't get the error.

Dick

Nice one!

Whet kind of format you import to get this kind of trouble ?

i was getting this error too, i think it might be something to do with
TMPG having problems handling MP3 sound.

i read elsewhere its VBR sound thats the problem, but i got this message trying ro encode an avi with cbr sound (according to g-spot anyway)

using nandub, i saved the encoded sound as a .wav, then set sound input to the saved .wav, set sound to full processing mode, video to direct streamcopy and finally saved as .avi.

voila

smell that? thats the smell of DEATH!

the last 2 times ive tried to encode a film (avitompeg) my CPU goes up to a 100% usage and computor is very slow or stops responding i use windows XP PRO OS
the first 5 or 6 film encodes were perfect ive reinstalled TMPGEnc 3.0 but hasnt helped anyone got any ideas ???? thanx

Seems like you have the CPU priority set to higher than "low."

Look for the setting and lower the priority.

However, it may still apear to use 100%, but it is really using only the available IDLE time. Response should be better. Try it out.

i tried to load my movie into tmpgenc and it doesn't have sound.?

the sound works fine when played in nero showtime. the video is actually perfect too. its just when i play it in the dvd player that it looks like the tracking is weird and there's no colour.

You need to find out what the audio is in your source.
If it's an AVI it is likely AC3 or VBR mp3.
If you download a little utility called AVIcodec it will tell you what you need to know.
Post back with the info.

Your DVD playback problem sounds like you are trying to play the wrong format in your player I.E. NTSC in a PAL player.
If your DVD player is connected by SCART then have a look in your DVD players video output settings and set it to RGB output.
This may cure the problem.
If not you will have to do a format conversion.

hmm...it appears that i am a not quite the computer genius....i tried changing the setting on my dvd player from "multi" to "ntsc"...hee hee ...and it worked...blush...

thanks ashy

Oh yes...and how can I get the .log files to be created? Those have been very helpful in 2.5. I can't find it anywhere in 3.0.

Hi Vidimidi,

Seems there is no more log file available.
