i have tried it several times but the first vob file doesnt have audio.all the other vob files support audio. can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong. thank you

How are you converting the VOB files????You NEVER Load the VOB files directly into Tmpgenc Cuz It won"t work Right....You have to use DVD2AVI to extract the audio track to a WAV file and Make a D@V project file for the video and encode that...Go to "www.vcdhelp.com...

Well don't give to many details on the problem!

What program are you using to extract the audio from the VOB files?

This is my first time using TMPGEnc and I'm trying to convert an AVI file to MPG-2 so I can burn it onto an SVCD.

I'm following a tutorial at http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgencsvcd.htm and a couple of minutes into encoding, I get an error "Index of Scan Line is out of range(360)".

My source avi is of the following format:

Frame size, fps: 640x360, 25fps
Decompressor: DivX MPEG-4 Fast-Motion
Audio Sampling Rate: 44100Hz Stereo, MPEG-3 Compression (But I extracted it to a .wav file because I heard that not doing that can sometimes cause problems)

So my question is this, what does that error message mean? Is it a problem with my source file or with my configuration somewhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

sounds Like a BAD AVI file....I think this has something to do with when the file is being encoded the resolution of the source file suddenly changes for like a Frame, or the frame could be corrupted...This is very common with Downloaded files..That is why i don"t use downloaded files Cuz a lot of them get corrupted through downloading...you can try to frame serve the file with Virtual Dub...

im trying to convert my dvd files to mepg. i can get audio on all but the first vob file. i keep getting file is unsupported. but all the other vob files work fine.

dont know what vob is. but i had also a lot of audio troubles.

use virtualdub!

check out http://www.vcdhelp.com/divxtovcd.htm#audio
for help (just decompress audio)

Are you trying to play your vob files just to see if they work or what? If you want to play your vob's, try installing vob filters, then you can play on Win DVD. Goto http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/encoding_vobutils.html

Your problem is you are trying to encode VOB files with TMPGENC and you NEVER do that...

i am trying to make a vcd, and have finally got it to where nero will not tell me there is an encoding problem. to do this I changed the stream type from: mpg system {automatic}, where the playback was beautiful, to mpg video cd {non standard}, where the playback is craptastic because it is jerky. thanks for any advice you have.

Jerky Playback is usually Caused By encodeing to the Wrong Frame rate...You have to encode to the same frame rate as the file you are encodeing..so if the avi has a 29.97fps frame rate you have to encode it to 29.97fps....

Hi everybody!

As all of you probably know, all DVD-players can't handle SVCD! :(
So, is there a way to burn a (very short!) DVD on a regular CD-R?
Maybe with just two/three musicvideos or something like that?

Maybe this is a stupid question, I don't even know that! :)

Anyway, I've created a file with the DVD-template in TMPGEnc and
really want to burn a CD with higher quality than VCD that can be
played on every DVD-player.. Possible? :)

Thank you! I hope I don't appear as a Massive Fool! :)

Nope not possible.
You may be able to fool your machine into accepting MPEG2 files by running the MPEG through the multiplexer using the 'MPEG1 VCD(non standard' setting to add a VCD header to the file.

If that doesn't work then just create an XVCD by raising the bitrate higher and increasing the resolution.

hi guys been a while :)

got a glitch if you can help.

i have had to reinstall every thing to my system, including codecs etc

now last week i could import d2v files then encode an mpeg 2 file, now i can't ?? i have installed all that i did before, any ideas where i should start

have i missed something ?

i have windvd4 installed

any help if you could plz

thx

Hello,
I don't know if this is normal, but when I select Source Range and try to select start or end frame the computer seems to freez and before I can see the selected frame a large amount of time passed.
TMPGEnc run on a PC with Celeron 733 CPU, 256 Mb ram; the file is an AVI of 5 Gb.
Is an hardware or sw problem?

Thanks in advance

ZioArvi

P.S. I'm from Rome Italy and... I'm sorry for my little english :-(

This happens on Slower systems especially with Big Files...I think when setting the start frame to the end frame the decoder has to decode the whole file to get to the end of the file..you probably won"t get this if you Put the time codes in manually at the top of the source range page...

Thanks for your replay.
I must change my hardware to resove the problem!

Bye

Hi.
I have downloaded a movie from kazaa which uses the xvid codec. After some searching and question answering I have managed to learn that there is a xvid codec for TMPGenc. Could you let me know where to find it and how to install it?

Many thanks in advance.
Alan

Google.com

U shouldn't need to look to hard.

ASHY

And the Codec isn"t for Tmpgenc it is for your Computer to decode Xvid files...

Have a look at:
http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/userguides/119019.php
I've tried this and it worked like a charm!

why doesn't this forum have a FAQ? am woundering hehe

What exactly do you mean??? at the top of the page it says"FAQ"...

oops...i bookmarked only the forum frame..(web page uses frames)..so couldn't see the FAQ. Reading through the FAQ though i notice many qs such as raise the direct show file reader etc are not included there...u know....like lots of qs that keep getting asked again and again and again......hehe

please help me when i want convert file from Dvd for my personal backup with TMPEGnc, after 10min. tmpegnc 2.58 writhe this error:
"write error occurred at address 004057B4 of module TMPEGnc.exe
with 02FFFF8"
i've try with two different DVD, but this error arrive

please hel me, and excuse for my english but i'm italian

How are you Converting the DVD?? Usually this error shouldn"t come up with DVD that are done properly...

non Eche per caso ti arriva al 99% e poi si blocca dicendo "write error occured at address 004028A9 of module TMPEGENC.EXE with 008A14E4 ?.....sto coso non va.....

i used tmpgenc the following way:
1 convert *.pva files to ps-stream with pvastrumento
2 de-multiplex this mpg file using tmpgenc
3 encode resulting *.m2v and *.mp2 files into final mpg-file
(this file i could burn onto cd for play in cd-player).
for all this i was using the free version (vcd, not svcd).

now, i wanted to upgrade an bought tmpgenc plus.

the problem:
i cannot even use the above-mentioned procedure to produce the final mpg(1) file. tmpgenc-plus will not accept either *.m2v (video) nor *.mp2 sources. i always get an error message ´can not open or not supported´. playing around with priority settings did not change anything. also, afapi is correctly installed. where is my problem, or: how can i succee???
cheers and beers

Do you Have a Mpeg2 decoder installed? it has to be either Cyberlink Ligos or Sony, and if that don"t work then use DVD2AVI to frame serve the Mpeg file....that allways works and it is faster than letting Tmpgenc decode the file...

thanks minion. this is all very strange. i have windvd4 installed. this should do for mpeg2!?
if i use the tmpgenc mpeg-tools for de-multiplex, i can multiplex afterwards, using the resultant audio and video streams.
after it is done, i normally get a message like
´225 s packets cause buffer underflow, the mpeg file might cause error when played´
and indeed, i get a good video, but no audio. since i play the video using windvd4, i assume it is mpeg2 (svcd quality!)

if i want to input the 2 de-multiplexed-files (*.m2v and *.mp2) as video-source and audio-source in the MAIN WINDOW, i do get ´can not open or unsupported´ error, even though both files had been created by tmpgenc mpeg-tools.

Hi, Newbie here. Just trying to make my first SVCD menu (PAL). I quote from the VCDEasy help guide...

"For the Menu I recommend a still image that contains pictures of your Clips on it with numbers next to each clip. You take that image, combine it with a WAV of nothing in TMPGEnc, and you get an MPG with no sound that will loop forever until a selection is made."

OK I made a JPG in photoshop (480*576. Loaded it into TMPGEnc (2.5).Nothing in the Audio selection - Press the Start and the mpg is created. I try to load it into VCDEasy and it says its too short. Where is the 'make it loop' option in TMPGEnc ?

Thanks
ScottyB

You can"t use Tmpgenc for this ...Try Ulead DVD Workshop...it will do all of that for you....
