Minion  2003-07-13 02:54:35 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, Guys, I can not get DVD Author to recognize My DVD Burner, It is Just blank were it says "Recorder", But the Funny thing is When I go to the help File it has a screen shot of the DVD writeing Module and the Burner shown in the Picture is the same model as the one I own, a Sony DRU-500A, all my other Burning Programs Recognize it like Nero, But I can"t use Nero Cuz It has been giveing Me errors at the end of the Burn saying it can"t Close the Disk, But the Disks still work But I don"t want to Risk it...And when I point the Burning application to my Video_TS folder, it gives me a message saying there is No Video_TS Folder in this Folder...Ohh well I didn"t expect much From Tmpgenc DVD author anyways so I wasn"t dissapointed....Cheers

Pity about this. I have exactely the same burner. It worked plug and play with TDA. I have been using Nero up to now. As I said somewhere else, this TDA burning tool does not have the most professional look but it does its job perfectly as far as burning is concerned.



Question - TE25 - Xvid sound problem No.37932
smash  2003-07-12 21:25:03 ( ID:cykzmkq4zra )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

This is the second movie that I've downloaded in Xvid format and I still can't get the sound to work... TMPGEnc won't even accept it as a sound file and VirtualDub says that 'there is no decompressor to extract the audio file' - No compression, 44100, full processing mode, of cource.

I've downloaded all kinds of codecs and stumbled on GSpot Codec Information Appliance which said that the sound codec used was "ac3 (0x2000) Dolby Laboratories, Inc" and that I have 3 compatable codecs.. I mean the original file plays just fine in MediaPlayer. Is there any other way to extract audio or does anyone know where to get this codec?


ashy  2003-07-12 22:42:20 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Download AVIMUX-04 and extract the Ac3 audio to a wav.


smash  2003-07-12 23:55:31 ( ID:cykzmkq4zra )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I did that but it simply extracted the AUDIO - total of 220mg from a 650mb file... It's still compressed


B_Racer  2003-07-13 01:02:39 ( ID:f0tdjnbzg.2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Use VirtualDubMOD and/or BeSweet.

>I did that but it simply extracted the AUDIO - total of 220mg from a 650mb file... It's still compressed
Because you didn't extract it to a wav like I said. You simply extracted it as an AC3 file.

1. Load the AVI file into AVIMUX

2. You will should see 2 streams the Video and Audio stream. Uncheck the video stream.

3. Highlight the Audio stream then right click it, choose 'select compression' then select PCM. In the next box choose - 44.100khz, 16bit, stereo 172kb/s

4. Set the audio preroll and interleave to 100.

5. Click the Output AVI button and select where you want to save the audio. Make sure you give the file a .WAV extension and not .AVI

6. Now click go. If you did everything right the result should be a wav file.

Question - TDA1 - Burn DVB-S data incl. AC3 Audio No.48660
SilentEx  2003-07-12 20:43:13 ( ID:mpr4lvx5kro )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Bruning DVB-Files from Haupauge NExus S in 2 channel stereo works well, error message about non conform dvd ignored, burned, worked. If files are created with AC3 included, DVD Author says "illegal format" and does not accept MPEG file.

Any suggestions ?

THX, silent.


B_Racer  2003-07-12 21:40:54 ( ID:sb3fayfks3m )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Have you tried to demux the Video before importing it into DVD Author? A good Demuxer is DS.JAR, but TMPGEnc can do this Job also.


SilentEx  2003-07-13 07:59:14 ( ID:mpr4lvx5kro )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thank´s, I will try this. But I suppose it should work as it does with 2 channel also, seems to be an error in the checking routine of TMPEGENC DVD Author. When I record AC3 seperately, DVD Author accepts the stream but they are out of sync. Any possivility to sync the audio (add delay of x ms) ?

THX, silent



Question - TE25 - GOP Setting No.37927
PieOPah  2003-07-12 13:18:46 ( ID:hdwe0ne2rzn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am trying to convert an AVI file to an MPEG II so that I am able to create a DVD movie.

Whenever I load the movie into my DVD software (Dazzle Complete), it tells me that the file is not compliant. Checking why, I had this message -

Error - Sequence Start and GOP Header Mismatch. Sequence Headers are required on every GOP. Check original encoder settings.

I have no idea how to use these settings, so could somebody please let me know what I need to change them to to enable my file to be comliant.

Many thanks,
Simon


ashy  2003-07-12 14:40:17 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Look under the GOP structure tab and make sure the 'Output interval of sequence header' is set to 1
If it already is and it still gives you an error then it is probably a bug in your software.
Try importing the video and Audio stream seperately.

Take a look at http://dvd-hq.info/Compression.html. It has detail explanation and suggestions for TMPGEnc setup.
I used what's suggested there and it works like a charm...

I keep getting various write errors and access violations with module ntdll.dll. I am using version TMPGEnc-2.513.53.162-Free on windows XP. Does anyone have any idea what this problem is?


ashy  2003-07-12 14:42:25 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Defrag your drive and don't mess with TMPG's default TEMP folder settings.


Minion  2003-07-12 22:57:53 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You Might Get NTDLL.Dll Errors when encodeing XviD files because of some sort of Problem with the Xvid Codec..If this is the Problem you are Haveing you might want to install the "FFDShow Mpeg-4 Decoder" and configure it to decode XviD and all Mpeg-4 formats....



Question - TE25 - Nero Encoding MPEG2 No.37921
smash  2003-07-12 03:13:18 ( ID:cykzmkq4zra )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Ok so I got my MPEG-2 and now I burn it with Nero.. Is it normal for Nero to take 1+ hour to encode a one MPEG-2 or am I doing something wrong? - It keeps telling me that a video file is not a proper MPEG2 [even 480x480 ones] and will need to be encoded/converted...


ashy  2003-07-12 14:28:31 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You have made a big mistake. You have simply re-encoded the file with Nero.
It seems like you have cut the MPEG and not chosen the right stream type.
The next time you cut an MPEG make sure you select the right stream type, 'MPEG2 Super videoCD(VBR)'
For now just run the MPEG through the simple multiplexer with the setting above then import into Nero.

Bug report - TE25 - TMPGenc closes unexpectedly with Win2kpro-SP4 No.37918
p5ykotik  2003-07-11 19:31:48 ( ID:lxarzn.kgmj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

since i installed SP4 yesterday on Win2000Pro, when i try to select or "browse" for any file, anywhere within TMPGenc (latest version)-either in the wizard or from the main page, TMPGenc just closes immediately. anyone else notice this with win2kpro SP4 ? ideas, anyone?


ashy  2003-07-12 00:11:54 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just completly delete TMPG from your system first and then re-install it.
This usually solves the problem as it's happened to me on several occasions.



Question - TE25 - 480x480 SVCD? No.37912
smash  2003-07-11 19:30:40 ( ID:cykzmkq4zra )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Never encoded MPEG-2s - always MPEG-1 so I am kind of surprised that resolution is a square 480x480... That would put the black vertical bars on the left and right and that is kind of odd for a movie. Is that fixed or will the DVD players read MPEG-2s with different resolution?

The reason I ask is that my cousin's DVD player [where I'm trying all this stuff] is Nortec one which seems to read everything [data cds with mpegs on it etc]. I'm just wondering if this stuff will work on my player back home which is a Panasonic SC-HT70.


Minion  2003-07-11 22:00:57 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

480+480 Is the Stabdard NTSC Resolution for SVCD"s, so if you are Makeing SVCD"s it is Best to use this resolution for Compatibility Purposes, Some Players will allow you to use some Different Resolution to Make Non-Standard SVCD"s or XSVCD"s, Like you can use 352+240 or 352+480 or 704+480, The First 2 resolutions you can Probably use with no real problem but they will still be non-Standard But the last resolution (704+480) is very high so you would need to use a Extremely High Bitrate to get Good Quality But useing that High of a Bitrate would make the File Probably un-Playable on Most DVD Players...Dont wory 480+480 only looks wierd on your Monitor Not on your TV as it will be Resized to fit the TV Screen properly...


ashy  2003-07-11 23:38:30 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It will only have the wrong aspect ratio if you don't use a software DVD player.
Media player cannot handle SVCD resolutions properly.


Sakuya  2003-07-12 01:45:41 ( ID:zt8tip7sl.2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

For SVCDs, VCDs, and DVDs, why are the sizes different? I mean since SVCDs have a size like...480x480, why not have that same size for VCDs too? Why different?


B_Racer  2003-07-12 11:15:46 ( ID:dxp41zyyfu. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

They are different, because the Bitrate-Range is different. VCD is CBR with 1150 kbps, SVCD is CBR/VBR with a max auf 2600 kbps, DVD is CBR/VBR with up to 9800 kbps.

If you try to encode DVD with VCD-Bitrates, you will see why Picture-Size is different. ;)


ashy  2003-07-12 14:35:56 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The reason is that to increase the quality of the image you need a higher resolution (sharper image) and a higher resolution means you will have more bits in the image to encode and thus will need a higher bitrate which is why SVCD is twice the quality of VCD.
But all this increases the file size which means you can fit less on a disk, so as a compromise to fit more on a disk you have lower bitrate and lower resolution VCD and as a result lower quality.
In fact I think standard VCD quality is abysmal so I never use it as most SVCD's will fit on 2 disks anyway when using VBR.

Well I guess Downloading the Right Version would be the first Step, You can not register the "FREE" Version, you have to download the "Plus" version, you can download it By Clicking the Banner at the Bottom of this screen and from there I"m sure you can find it....



Bug report - TE25 - Tmpgenc causes error in MCMPGDEC.DLL No.37907
Detko  2003-07-11 17:19:34 ( ID:mmsckdzag1f )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Dear Tsunami MPGEnc Users,

I am using TMPGENc version 2.513.53.162 (Core version 1.96.149).
SVCD encoding works very fine and the menu says I can use MPEG-2 for another 26 days.

However, when I try to "Merge & Cut" the final SVCD file from the "MPEG Tools ..." menu I receive an error message when I change the slider position in the sub-menu "Edit merge item" saying:

"Tmpgenc caused in error in MCMPGDEC.DLL.
Tmpgenc will be closed."

When I hit the Exit button Tmpgenc terminates and I am back in the Windows Desktop environment.

The same phenomenon appears when I try to enter appropriate time intervals by the keyboard in the "Range" fields of the "Edit merge item" sub-menu.

MCMpgEnc.DLL appears to be located in the C:WindowsSystem directory.

Do you know what should cause this erratic behaviour and - even better - how to avoid this?
Many thanks.

T.C. Kouters


ashy  2003-07-11 18:01:24 ( ID:yjsxxtyiiih )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

First of all please refrain from posting questions as bug reports until it has been confirmed with other users that this is a bug.

This seems like a a third party codec (which was installed by another program) that TMPG is trying to use to read your MPEG2 file, but is causing a problem.

My advice is to install one of the recommended software players first then try again or try installing the MPEG2 VIDEO VFAPI Plug.

Also if your MPEG2 plugin is listed in the VFAPI plugins try raising it's priority.


Minion  2003-07-11 21:53:25 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yup that is what It sounds Like, It seems like Tmpgenc is trying to access the MCMPGDEC.DLL which I think is the "MainConcept Mpeg2 Decoder" which is a Direct show Mpeg2 Filter which is Not Supported By Tmpgenc, You will Either have to install the Ligos decoder Cyberlink Decoder or the Mpeg2 VFAPI Plugin which I get the best results From as On My System Tmpgenc can not decode Mpeg2 files useing Ligos or Cyberlink, But it doesn"t have a Problem decodeing with the Mpeg2 VFAPI Plugin....Cheers



Question - TDA1 - More than one sound-track on DVD No.48657
giba  2003-07-11 06:51:29 ( ID:294hlirfjqo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Have seen TDA accept AC3 as input along with WAV and M2P. How can I force TDA to author AC3 and WAV (plus the video of course) and make my DVD look really professional or is this functionallity reserved for very big money only ?
Is there a free program that does it ?


B_Racer  2003-07-11 22:20:34 ( ID:uglt.yfgnin )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If you not want any Menus, you can use IFOEdit to produce your VOBs. (TitleSet).
You can use IFOEdit also for muxing an extra Sound-Track to a TitleSet, produced by TMPGEnc DVD Author. But taht's a little complicated.

Using more than one Sound-Track is the Feature i miss in TMPGEnc DVD Author. I will register the Program the same day, it supports this.


giba  2003-07-14 06:44:48 ( ID:294hlirfjqo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks. I'll have another look at this IFOEdit. As you mention it seems rather complicated...
Another well known company has been advertising recently for the new version 1.3 sharing more than one type of sound track on the same DVD. It is misleading as it only means more than one sound track on the same DVD (for different tracks !!!).
