I have a phillips DVD player and Hollywood real magic decoder, but I can not play VCD movies. I have tried a number of different players (WIN DCD, Power DVD. TMPG). I have MOrgan Multimedia codec installed and Windows Media player (Latest version) and whenever I try and play a VCD I always get an unsupported file format message. Any suggestion to help me would be appreciated.
Are clicking directly on the .dat file itself? Try dragging the .dat file directly on to the WinDVD shortcut.
If that doesn't work then there is something wrong with your MPEG file and seems to be invalid.
Are these VCD's standard VCD's and where did you get them?
Try running the .dat file through the simple multiplexer in TMPG and choose 'MPEG1 VCD' as the stream type then play with WinDVD.
Ok I'm not down with all this computer lingo that most of these sites just jump into then they explain stuff. However, I'm not sure if my questions even pertains to this site but here goes, I am trying to get some things I donwloaded from KAZAA onto my DVD that I am trying to burn, but it keeps telling me to switch from PAL to NTSC and when I do they show up with their little menus so I take it that it worked but when I go to create DVD it says unknown device error check device and it brings up a little bar that show some progress of something but doesn't tell what and then when the progress bar is finished it says DVD timeout and it gives me an option to retry or cancel, when i retry it does the same thing again. There it is if someone can help it will be greatly appreciated and if they use simple steps even more so haha. Thanks
OK...What is telling you to switch from Pal to NTSC??A "Unknown Device Error" is a Hardware problem...can you explain a little more clearly what you are talking ABOUT...
I heard that this will help me when I try to make my dvd burner convert ntsc to pal but I downloaded it and unzipped it and now I have no clue how to use it. Can anyone help me. thanks
Please can anyone tell me if there is a way to change the framerate on a film that has been converted to mpeg I need to go from 29 to 25 because I TV does not support 29fps the film is vcd ntsc 29fps I need vcd pal 25fps
I keep getting a error telling me that it can open the file or the file is unsupported. I am trying to convert pal to ntsc formate. Can anybody help me.
You CANT convert from Pal to NTSC or NTSC to PAL with Tmpgenc..Well you can try but I can Gaurantee you that the results will not be watchable, the audio will go out of sync and it will have Jumpy playback...You either have to use a program to convert the Pal AVI into a NTSC AVI then encode to mpeg, there are a few that can do it Supposedly "AVIsynth" has a Good option to do this, and Canopus Procoder is good at it too, and "Advanced Pal/NTSC Converter" is good at it too....for your Unsupported message go to "options" 2'Enviromental Settings" 2 "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "Direct show" to "2"...
help i've tried this mpg-converter a few months ago, i decided to wait till a later version before buying. now i want to check the latest version but the program say's mpeg2 encoding has expired. What can i do ???
The trial testing period carries over to the next version and isn't renewed with each version.
Once you run TMPG and start the trial you have 30 days ands that it.
Time to get your wallet out I'm afraid.
Is there a way to move a d2v file to another drive or directory. I tried editing the d2v file to reflect the new drive letter but it didn't seem to work.
Hi all,
You may have already seen this question many times. I have downloaded a divx file and want to convert to burn a cd and read the film on my DVD player.
The problem is that the file is too big to fit into one disc and I even may 3 discs. How can I manage to burn 3 CDs with one single big file?
The odvious answer would be to cut the file into 3 parts and burn each on a Disk?!?!?!?!?...you can try it with the "Mpeg tools" Merge & Cut" but they don"t allways work so any other Mpeg editor will work like Mpeg2Vcr...
I'm trying to convert an avi file to mpeg. however when trying to select source file it gives me a message that the file is unable to open or unsupported. Can anyone tell me what i should do?
I had the same problem in the past. It is necessary to load the free VFP Plugin in TMPGENC. I load it down from the homepage of TMPGENC. It is a .bat file which you have to execute. Then I hope it will function.
Debbie do a search above for 'unsupported' and look for messages regarding the 'VFAPI plugins' and the 'directshow multimedia file reader'
You will find your answer many many times.
good morning, i'm kinda new into the movie conversion scene and i would like to know how to minimize the square blocks after conversion. I know that you would have to increase the video bitrate, but what other settings do i have to fool around with to totally get rid of these blocks. Sometimes i check the "soften block noise" box but i don't know if this helps at all. Thanks in advance for your help
The "Macro Blocks" are caused By a Too low Bitrate, so that is pretty much the only setting that will get rid of the blocks, and maybe the block noise setting...
Lowering the resolution will help, but the image will look crap.
Use 'High quality' in the motion search precision setting.
Don't use crappy, noisy sources. I.E. Downloaded rubbish from places like KAAZZA.
Hi to all the expert on this forum. I'm coverting an AVI movie to Mpeg using TMPG 2.58 many times and now I encounter an AVI movie of 630mb that will output to 2.2gb Mpeg. I have convert many AVI movies of 600++ mb but none of them ever has an output of 2.2gb. I suspect that the movie itelf is coded with some anti convert/output code so that viewer cannot convert them to Mpeg. This movie is downloaded from Kazza and I suspect the source could come from one of those Commercial DixV site that rent movie. Is that so? Can any of you please help! I wish to convert to VCD and watch it on TV. Thanks.
a 2.3GB mpeg file is about 2 hours of SVCD or about 3.5-4 hours of VCD at standard bitrates...The size of the Mpeg file has nothing to do with the Size of the AVI file, it has to do with the Length of the file, and standard VCD Bitrates a minute of Mpeg is 10MB and about 20MB for SVCD...There is no Anti Converting Codec for AVI files that will make the file huge...You either have a high bitrate or the Mpeg file could have extra Dead space at the end of the file, scan through the file and see if it is the same length as the avi file, and get a Bitrate Viewer to see the actuall bitrate of the mpeg file and see if it the same bitrate as you set it in Tmpgenc...
I must thank minion for his time and effort to help us in this forum sincerely..without someone like him. It take us lot of time to investigate problems and find solution for it. I'm still pretty new in this so I'm trying to catch up too.
Minion, I loaded the Avi movie using the Tmpg standard VCD template. Bitrate at 1150 (constant bitrate). So I normally will get about 10mb for 1 min. However, this movie that I haven't encode it yet. shows about 2.2 GB at the end of the template. I thought something was wrong with TMPG (corrupted or what) so I used an old avi movie that I coded before and it turn up to 1min = 10Mb. So I think I will try to code the movie and see what comes up. Perhaps u could advice if u know the problem. Thanks a million Minion. I haven't got the bitrate calculator yet but I will try to download it. Thanks again.
