Take that damned ram file to your washing machine, choose color wash and that's it.
ah I forgot - you can't read the answer - maybe you'll find the solution yourself......

I've posted a request last week into this forum concerning the cut/merge Functions within tmpgenc.

You will find at

http://www.offeryn.de/

a tool called pvinstrumento. With this tool you can repair MPEG-2 Files or demux them, even if the files a not well formed MPEG's or if they are broken. The author wrote this tool to fix MPEG Streams in PVA-Format (delivered by Satellits/DVB) but it also works with the MPEG-Output from Hauppauge's PVR.

I've tested it with all my broken MPEG's - and it worked very, very good. After fixing the files you can use them within tmpgenc without any problem, CUT, MERGE, EDIT, ENCODE all works fine.

Please note: The latest release of the tool (V23 and V23a) does not work with HAUPPAUGE SVCD. Try V.22 - you will find it in the section Nostalgia Versions.

Perhaps this tool will help many other users with similar problems !

if dvix 3.11 is only compatable with windows 1998 & 2000 how can i load it on my computer if i am running xp and does it matter were i load the codecs on my computer. right now i have them all loaded in my program file also i down loaded red dragon it is in mpeg format how do i convert it over to vcd format do i just burn it or what

You Can still use them But you get that stupid Windows warning that says the codec hasn"t passed XP testing..if you do have any problems with 3.11 I think 4.12 is backwards compatible...

when I use merge and cut then add i get an read error message adress 73F91D04 any help would be appreaciated

I have encoded about 30 minutes of DV avi to mpeg1, but at 8 minutes the frame freeze, and the audio continuos. It common?

This is usually caused by a Glitch in the avi file...Try useing Virtual Dub to frame serve the file..You can use it also to check for errors in the file ...

Help all of a sudden my films I am encoding do not have sound. I keep getting all sorts of number error messages. I am very new to this so if anyone can help in VERY SIMPLE instructions i would be very greatful as I understand non of the technical stuff i am afraid, i am only doing it so I can put subtitles on films for my father.

Thanks

Debbie

For the audio you need to extract the audio to a WAV file...You can do this with "Virtual Dub" ..you open Virtual Dub and load in the AVI file then go to "File" to "Save as WAV" then use that file as the audio source...You can get Virtual Dub at "http://www.virtualdub.org"....

Thank I have virtualdub but i can not find the sav to wav in the drop down menu under file. it has sav to avi but not wav.

Well Maybe you have an older version or something cuz at least the last 3 versions have this option..It says "Save Wav" in the 12 line down the "File" Menu....You can get the newest version at "http://www.virtualdub.org/"...

I believe you have to load movie in Vdub before you have that option

Ok people i have now found that option but, now i have sound and the picture disappearers after about 20 minutes and does not come back. Sorry to be a pain but WHYYYYY.

Does the picture go away while encodeing or in the Mpeg file???To correct this try going to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct Show" to "2"...

picture is fine until playback have changed enviromental setting but now the sound is out of sync with video. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to convert an ASF movie to mpeg and it has failed several times already. I just tried again and it said that there might not be enough space, so I checked the space on the hard drive and it dropped from 4 gig to 400 mb. Where are the files that are taking up the space? I've checked the temp directory for my login and in windows. I can't find any temp files.

If you are useing the "Multipass" method it stores the info from the Passes in the system cache, if you are doing a Multipass encode then you should have a bunch of space on your hard drive....

I figured out what was wrong, after I restarted, I checked and there was the files in the norton protected folder. It was being cached after I deleted it. Thanks for your idea.

Hy, I'm just using tmpgenc to convert an AVI file to MPG file in VCD format.
The result regarding video is excellent but the sound is a little "metallic", in the AVI format the sound is ok.

Do you know if I've to change some settigns or how to do ? Perphaps de-mux the audio and re-encode after ? But how ?

Thanks and best regards.

No it's a problem with TMPG's samplerate converter.

You can use various others as plugins with TMPG, you can find out which ones by going to Enviroment setting>External tool the holding the cursor over the 'use' box. SCMPX seems to be best.

The other alternative and the way I prefer is to convert the audio to a wav with Virtualdub and change the samplerate to 44.1 khz, but check the high quality box then load that into TMPG.

Thank you, I'll try it.

Bye, dalrmi!

I still can't get a preview screen in TMPGEnc or virtual dub I ran a scan in virtual dub and it said 0 bad frames 0 good frames file can not be encoded I am not sure I am doing this right but i clicked file went to open video opened it and went to video clicked on it and went down to scan file and clicked on it. I don't under stand how all my avi's could be bad. What am I doing wrong????????? i have the direct show up to 2 i down loaded the nimo pack build 8. How do I know what codec to use and how do I tell if the avi is bad now I am currently downloading red dragon in mpeg format from IMesh can I encode it in TMPGEnc then burn it to vcd or what do I do with a movie that is already in mpeg format.

If the movie is allreadt in Mpeg format then try just burning it to a Disk without encodeing it...But if Virtual dub won"t show a Picture and you do have the proper codec then there is either a Problem with the configuration of your system(codecs,Conflicts,Programs) or the file is Corrupted...File corruption is Very common with Downloaded files..Whan downloading a File you are downloading Billions of lines of code and if just a Few lines of code get lost or corrupted then it could verry well ruin the whole file..That is why I don"t download files off the net anymore..I had about a 1 in 3 chance that the file I downloaded would be totally fine...To find out which codec the file was encoded with just right click the file and go to "properties"...or there is a Program called "AVI Info" that could tell you what codec was used, you can get it here: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/yaai.html

I'm trying to convert an avi file to mpeg, but it seems that the audio cannot be detected. I played the avi in windows media player 9, and it runs fine. However, when I tried playing it in older versions of windows media player, it also does not have sound.

Any suggestions?

You need to extract the audio from the AVI file to a WAV file with something like "Virtual Dub" or Sound Forge" and use that as the audio source....

I searched the archive for this problem, and found the question, but no answer that solves the problem.

I'm using the Merge & Cut to cut commercials out of a DVD compliant MPEG-2.
When adding a file to the Merge & Cut list of source files, and then press Edit or Double click to set start and stop brackets, the system crash when I press OK or Cancel to go back to the list.
I can see that the start and stop time in the source file list has been updated, so it seems like it crash after the "Edit merge Item" dialog is finished.
It doesn't matter what I do. I've noticed on forums that this is a buggy part of TMPGENC, but no hints help in my case.
I've tried
1. Setting the Output file before enter the "Edit merge Item"
2. Press Play and Pause before doing anything else
3. Not playing at all, just entering the time values in the fields
4. Remultiplexing my MPEG file.

I'm running on a Windows XP system with a Pentium 4.
Anyone with a similar problem (or, event better, a solution)
Like the tool, so I wouldn't like to use any other editor.

/Dennis

Well you are out of luck Because you HAVE TO use a different editor, there are NO magic settings that will solve your problems...The reason why you didn"t find a answer to the problem is Because there really isn"t any solution to the problem accept maybe doing a Total re-install of your OS which may or may not help...Or you can try a different version of tmpgenc But that Might not help either...You can use Tmpgenc to encode everything accept the commercials useing the one of the "Source Range" settings...Or edit out the commercials before you encode that is if you captured to AVI and encoded with Tmpgenc...Sory but what you are asking for has been asked Many times before and a Solution has not been found...Tmpgenc only supports Mpeg files encoded by Tmpgenc and it has the same problems with those files....

Hi Dennis, Hi Minion,

Perhaps there is a solution. Please look at my posting

http://www.tmpgenc.net/cgi-bin/ebbs/board.cgi?board=tmpgenc#topic16228

Minion thank you very much for your assistance - would be great if that tool could help also others - could result in less support..........

Best on that solution is that the tool is free and that it has a command-line interface !

Thanks again

Klaus Deiss

I have tried that tool and It works with files that have errors in them and for files that are Mpeg captures But it doesn"t help with a File that doesn"t have errors in it and was encoded with Tmpgenc....

how can i save my digital photos to cd and watch them on my dvd player?

What exactly do you want to do??Do you want to just be able to put a cd-r into the DVD Player and be able to use the remote to scan through and watch each picture??Or do you want to do more of a Movie with Pictures with say some backround music and/or narration??Maybe check this out:http://www.photo2vcd.com/photo2vcd.html
