TDA assumes a perfectly rectangular container for titles and as a result, if the title is italicized it will chop off the edge of the last character in the title, making it conform to a straight rectangle rather than a more accurately rhomboid shape.
IáÎ trying to Convert Divx some .avi and Xvid files and every time i get the same error:
Can't load "P3Package.dll". When i look at the files in my TMPGenc map, the file exists. Can anybody help me with this problem and Mark would probably want to know the answer also.
Oke I think i find the anwser. Extract the zip file to one map and don't put the TMPGenc.exe file on your windows opening screen. It will be redirected and the files won't be in the same directorie any more. Therefore TPMGenc won't find the p3package.dll
when I cut my mpeg2 (dbox stream) with the cut and merge tool e.g. I cut out the beginning and the end of this mpeg2 file to have the exact movie the frames are not cutted at the marked position. It seems that the program cuts about 2 seconds later at the start-mark and the end-mark. I think i have the newest version. Using an Athlon XP2400+
Penis poop. The gazizzle sir wing-bang doodoo foreskins.
Grommettizers are painful blue farting vaginas, so try to wear an enema when the video has no butthairs.
I started looking at the other forums here. There's three that I see. I don't see that the software authors venture to look at what's going on here. Questions are asked, and maybe some odd user may offer a suggestion.
So far, I have only seen ONE response from the software authors. This forum is a total waste of time for someone that wants an answer to a problem. I haven't e-mailed "tech support" yet, I would only hope that the response would be better.
I did get good response when registering and using a credit card. So the sales department is sharp. Marketing dept. needs fixing along with the support group.
How about it? Are you too busy processing credit card transactions to help folks here? I do have a sour attitude and it would be much better if the authors would be more active in answering questions.
I quite agree with you.I have had two emails back from their support telling me I have a problem with my internet connection!!!! I am on line with files going and coming in everyday and these guys tell me that there is something wrong with my connection.
It's the first disc in the series' DVD history that has three titles on it, it is the "Look at the Princess" trilogy.
The second movie on the disc is title 11.
TMPGEnc DVD Author will *NOT* read it correctly. Even if it is re-encoded by other DVD authoring softwares at 100% (I've tried two: Clone DVD; and DVD Shrink).
Each time it reads the title, which is over 46 minutes in length, to 00:19:33;14 but will not go any further. It assumes that is the end of the title.
If I use TMPGenc's Inverse Telecine feature, and then encode at a frame rate of 23.976, I get the same file size as when I do NOT use the IVTC feature and encode at 29.97. I use the same bitrate and encoding format (CBR) for both. (I tried encoding at 23.976 both with and without the pulldown flag).
I was expecting to see a file size that was 23.976/29.97 = 80% of the original size. I was then going to increase the bitrate to get the file size back up to the same as the 29.97 encode, thus getting not only the quality increase from encoding the intermediate blended frames created by the telecine process, but also by encoding fewer frames.
Why doesn't the file size get smaller when using IVTC??
Well it's obvious really.
It doesn't matter what frame rate you use the file size will always remain constant if you use CBR encoding methods.
For example 1500 kilobits a second is 1500 kilobits a second regardless of the resolution, frame rate or anything else.
The only factor that will determine the file size when using the same CBR bit rate is the length of the source.
Also you do realise creating an MPEG of 23.976 fps is not a legal frame rate for NTSC VCD/SVCD/DVD?
Another point to bear in mind is that there are no real extra frames in telecined material. Just flags to tell the decoder to add the frames during playback. This is why the file size doesn't change in the telecined material compared to the original progressive material.
When I am attempting to convert other .mpg & .avi files, I have been receiving a p3.dll & p4.dll error when it is about 1/2 way done. This did not use to occur. What can I do to make it stop? I have attempted reloading the program...as well as making a copy of the p3 & p4 drivers into my system32 folder...and that still does not work. I am currently using Windows XP OS. Could there be something clashing with these drivers?
What's the deal here? I installed the trial version on two seperate computers. BOTH pop up with the trial has expired. My God, I get an e-mail advertising a new trial version and it's already expired when I install it one day later.
I see that I'm not the only one to experience this. This does not bode well for credibility.
Two days later, I try to launch the program. This time it gets the license information correctly and the Trial is to begin.
I am in no way impressed that it is working after two days. IF I were to BUY this program and had to wait days to use it, when I wanted to use it, I would be very pissed off.
I asked this in another thread and I'll ask it here again.
What happens if Pegasys loses it's internet service? This could be caused from one of a million or so reasons. Maybe a disgruntled employee, a virus, a hacker, poor economy, the list goes on. If this license call back fails, the software stops working.
Maybe it's permanent. Maybe it's a delay of 6 hours. Or 6 days. Can you afford to spend your money on with this kind of risk? Can you afford to delay your work because the license won't access the update site?
This information should be more widely available. Not many people are aware that this BBS is even here.
Looks like this periodic licensing could be the demise of TMPGenc as the encoder of choice. At least I'll be able to author the DVD's I create with CCE and MainConcept with the TMPGenc DVD Author.
The makers of TMPGEnc Xpress 3.0 should also visit the forums at www.videohelp.com for more feedback on the periodic license debacle.
I agree, periodic license renewal will kill the product
I own lots of software that prevents sharing of license key, such as WinXP Pro, it does not require periodic license activation.
