Before i embark on a great 8hour encoding journey, i have a NTSC DVD (29.970 fps) and i wish to encode it with TMPG using PAL settings (25fps) can i do this? Is there any effect on the outcome of the movie?

Thanx

No you Can"t well not useing just Tmpgenc...you need a program to convert the formats from NTSC to Pal...there are a few programs that can do this one is "ProCoder" and another is "Advanced NTSC/PAL converter" and none of them come cheap...But there is a AVSynth Command that is supposed to give fairly good results...

I downloaded an .avi file and it saved it in Windows Media Player format. When I try to open it in TMPPGEnc, it says it can't open. Format unsupported. What do I do? How do I take an .avi file and burn it to a cdr to play on a dvd player? Email me at soonrmaniac@aol.com - THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!!

Do you mean .wmv???
Try this ..go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "direct show" to "2"...

i ran a movie thru tmpge and burn't it to vcd and there was no sound on the vcd and on the new file!this is the first time i have had a problem.

Don"t you Watch your VCD before you Burn them????you need to extract the audio from the source AVI file to a WAV file with something like "Virtual Dub" and use that as the audio source...

ok i have virtual dub(but have never used it ) how do i combine the two after.P.S like i said i have never had any vcd's screw up before!

try selecting the extracted wav file as the audio source.

Got here searching for my own new 'no sound' problem. Done a few successful rips before. Now, the Video Source is an .avs file and I can see another attempt cooking as I write, with the subtitles. But in Audio Source there is nothing and I'm sure I used to be able to put in a wav file, but when I go to the folder there is no wav file just an mp2 audio (and I've not decided to buy the thing yet until I'm satisfied it will work). So, Hawaiian Heart, where the hell's me wav file gone? Have I lost a codec somewhere? And if so how do I get it back please!
I also notice that the stream type is ES Video Only. I'm sure it used to be (in the few weeks that I've been trying) System Video and Audio.
I don't have the opportunity to make any changes because it comes up automatically with DVD2SVCD program.


Hope you can help.
Many thanks.

Hi,i want to cut a film into two halves, so i cut the first half and its FINE.
But the second half NEVER has audio?? why??
i have repeated this process a million times...it just wont have it

Please help me....Thank You

I tried to convert a windows media download to a mpeg1 but all I get is an erroe message that reads can't load P3Package.dll
help me
thanks

You need to install the Vfapi plugin(in the same folder as TMPEGNc)

Where do I find this Vfapi plug in file?

p3package.dll lol......

When I am trying to convert the Sum of All Fears dvd into mpeg, in PAL format, it says 'invalid pointer operation'. Why is this and what can i do to get it to work? Note that when converting in NTSC it works fine...

How can you Convert the same DVD to Both Pal and NTSC???

The first option that comes up when you open TMPGenc is whether you want to encode in PAL or NTSC... so that's how you do it (lol).

LOL...You seem misunderstand my friend...LOL
Minion is not referring to how you actually do it, but is reffering to the fact that the framerates will be different and will cause jerky playback for the one which is different to the original because TMPG does not do correct framerate conversion...LOL

I have powerdvd installed but tmpgenc does not list the Cyberlink VFAPI Plugin under Environmental Settings. I caould have sworn it was there before plus i could open MPEG2 files with tmpgenc but can't now. Any odeas how to get it back.

Thanks in Advance

re-install Tmpgenc...

me again, sorry to be a thickie, but what do I use virtualdub for? Is it for converting or something like that?
thanx again

look below...

hi,I am using the progran to convert avis to vcds.when I try to convert an avi that has a frame rate of 23.9 to the correct vcd format (ntsc film) then playback is smooth but the sound keep going out,it will catch up and then go out again. If I try to convert the same avi to a pal vcd , then the playback is slightly jerky (due to the different frame rates I think),but the sound stays synced to the video.
Any sugestions would be helpfull.
p.s I have tried 3 different brands of blank cds to see if this was the problem,but it made no difference.

Well find out the frame rate of your AVI file...23.9 isn"t nescessarily the correct frame rate for VCD 29.9 is actually a more standard NTSC format...you have to encode to the same frame rate as your AVI file ..and Virtual Dub in this case is used for extracting the audio from your avi file to a WAV file which is more compatible with TMPGenc....

when I convert a 23.9 avi to a 23.9 mpeg (ntsc film) then the audio is still out

Well that is why I said to use "Virtual Dub" to extract the audio to a WAV file and use that as the audio source....geeezzz

So close yet so far :(

Running on Win XP (NTFS). Produces a 275mb file then dies with that error.

Any ideas ?

Try running the program in Win 95 compatibility mode.

Also install the toolkit to the root of your drive and put the source files in the root of your drive too.

Hi,

I tried that but it didnt help. Shall try it on another of my VCDs and see what happens.

Thanks

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

it says it is unsupported

have i missed something ?

i have windvd4 installed

divx 5 and nemo codecs

any help if you could plz

thx

Copy the DVD2AVI.VFP file from your DVD2AVI folder into your TMPG folder.

ASHY

done that m8
version 1.77 dvd2avi

i am using the new version tempgc 2.58

it sees the d2v file but comes up 'can not open or is unsupported'

must admit i miffed with this 1, i have done 2/3 complete installs and never had this happern.

:(

Try raising the priority of the DVD2AVI project reader to '2'
Also create another d2v file and try again.

Make a New D2V file...

Try going back to using version 176 DVD2AVI that fixed the problem for me.

i am making an mpeg to put on a vcd, and it ran good until I tried to changed the stream to the one you need for svcd (not the non-standard one though, it was even worse when I used the non-standard). Now it experiences a slow down and lag in some spots. I am on constant quality and have pumped the minimum bitrate up to 7000 (i near computer illiterate so this may have been stupid i realize) but it still experiences a slow down. would it be better if i used the mode where it scans the whole video first and then allocates bitrate or whatever. I want the best quality possible. what do i need to do to get rid of the lagging? thank you for any help

that lagging you are talking about sounds like you are encodeing the file to a Different frame rate as the source file...if you avi file has a Certain frame rate the mpeg file has to have that same frame rate...so check that you are encodeing to the correct format...
