When I use TMPGEnc to convert DivX .avi movies with MP3 audio to mpeg2 I get no sound. I works fine when I convert divx with PCM audio. Is there any way I can make the mp3 work?

Yes, use Virtualdub to extract the MP3 to a WAV file and use that in TMPG.

Easy enough
Thanks much

Well make sure you have a good Mp3 codec installed But if Tmpgenc will not real the mp3 audio then there isn"t much you can do to get tmpgenc to read it ,so what you have to do is Extract the audio to a WAC file with something like "Virtual-Dub" then use the WAV file as the audio source...

Having problems converting Xvid movies to VCD, keep get the following error message.

Read error occurred at address 0041EE3 of module tempgenc.exe with 617AD23C

Anybody got ant idea's

I had a similar problem, ensure you have the XVID codec installed on the machine and goto Environmental settings and drop Direct Show back down to Zero.

Worked for me and is working as we speak.

Thanks, sorted.

Hi there,

Does anyone know where off the internet I can get CDEX from ? and it it downloadable.

Thanks

You do realise this is the TMPG BBS and has nothing to do with audio ripping.
Ever heard of a serach engine. This search took me 5 secs.

Hello! I wanted to widen the original "Minority Report" from 16:9 to 4:3.
The original video is 20fps (strange thing, I know) PAL. After tmpegenc reencoded this film, I've got strange stroboscopic effect. I think this effect produced tmpegenc, while trying to reencode as 25fps.

Anyway, I've stuck, and don't know what to do next. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Alexei.

If it's 20 fps then it's not really PAL. Pal is 25 fps. The effect you are talking about is called interlace lines. These can be removed by using the appropiate de-interlace filter in TMPG.
The next problem is the framerate. TMPG won't convert this to 25 fps correctly. The playback will be jerky as TMPG doesn't do correct framerate conversion.

AVIsynth can do a correct conversion if you know how to use it.

2 ASHY:

Thanks. I'm going to try Avisynth.
But still, DVD2Avi says it's 20fps PAL. And I've got no interlaced lines, only stroboscoping.

Thanks again.

What do u mean stroboscoping. Is it a combing effect on moving verticals?
These are called interlacing lines.

ASHY

LOL...If the source is an original PAL DVD then DVD2AVI must be reporting the framerate incorrectly. There is no such thing as a 20fps PAL movie.

You probably have 'ForcedFILM' checked under Video>Field operation in DVD2AVI.
You should check 'None' for PAL films.

Is that an echo?

U didn't abswer my question.
Did u disable 'ForcedFILM' in DVD2AVI?

Hi,

I want to use the MPEG-2 encoding functionality of TMPGenc
in the MS directshow framework.

Especially I want to use the MSVidCtrl component with built-in DVR
functionality. For doing this there must exist a IEncoderAPI compatible
encoder on the system.

see:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/directshow_sp1/htm/featuresoftheencoderapi.asp?frame=true

and

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/directshow_sp1/htm/usingthestreambufferenginewiththevideocontrol.asp?frame=true

Is there a plan to make the encoding functionality of TMPGenc available
to the MS directshow framework?

See also the thread in "DirectShow wrapper for tmpgenc available?"

best,

gne

See ur other post.

Clip from pegasus site:

- Control through MS-DOS Prompt (Server)
For more professional use, we have been requested to implement some feature to work with other application seamlessly. TMPGEnc Server can be controlled through MS-DOS prompt, so TMPGEnc Server can be controlled from different User interface or other application all process can be automated.

After ripping a dvd with Clad XP I tried to load the d2v into tmpgenc and I keep getting the error message d2v cannot open or unsupported. What does this mean. I ripped a different dvd and still got the same message

Chago

It means you havn't installed DVD2AVI properly. You need to ru it at least once to register it to VFAPI.

If that doesn't work copy this file DVD2AVI.VFP from your DVD2AVI folder and place in your TMPGenc directory.

ASHY

I ran it plenty of times, although this is the first time I have used it in several months. I tried your suggestion but I am still getting the same error. Does the basic (free) version has some time limitations? That, besides installing the new version of Windows Media Player is the only thing that I changed on this system recently.

Oh dear. NOT Mediaplayer9? This is likely your problem.
This new version is causing many problems like this. Roll back your system using System restore.

ASHY

Yeah, taht's right, Ashy The last Version of MediaPlayer i installed was the 6.4! All later Versions are junk and not really needed.

I'm trying to create a video using a two parts of a video. Part one is in PAL and part two is an MPEG1 Film. I'm trying to use this program to encode both into NTSC format to create one video on a single CD. From what I can gather of the documentation, it says it's supposed to encode "on the fly" but I get an error that says "can't load P3Package.dll" and have no clue what this means or how to fix. Can someone help?

hi, I have the same problem - and also no solution yet. could you pls inform me if you found help. thks from germany.

The "P3P Package.dll" error is Caused usually because you don"t have ALL the Tmpgenc files in the same folder..All the files that come with Tmpgenc have to be in the same folder and not sitting on your desk top and one of those files has to be the "P3P Package.dll"...You can"t Use Tmpgenc to convert a Pal File into a Ntsc file or Ntsc to Pal ..Tmpgenc will not do a Proper Frame rate conversion from Pal to ntsc or Ntsc to Pal, If you try it with Tmpgenc the Playback of the resulting file will be Jumpy and Jerkey and won"t be watchable...

I'm getting the same error...."Can't Load p3Package.dll
I unzipped everything into one file and I do not see this there.

Dont know what im doing wrong. My avi source is 23.976 fps. I use 3:2 pulldown on playback and 23.976fps(internally 29.976fps) . It play fine on PC and some standalone but is jerky and freezing on some Standalone. Anyone have a template for TMPGenc 2.59 that works for converting avi 23.976fps to DVD NTSC standard?
I have tried different authoring software, media(pioneer, Verbatim), burning program and get same results everytime. Its driving me crazy.

It looks like there is something buggy in this area.

The same encode method, authored with Ulead DVD Workshop, plays fine on my two DVD players but the playing time counter runs 25% slow. Maybe some players are less tolerant of whatever is causing this.

It is also possible that bugs exist in most consumer authoring software because they are intended for less sophisticated uses.

I think it actually the way files is encoded. Cause if i let Ulead DVD Workshop encode for me it works fine on picky DVD player like PS2. But Ulead Encoding kinda sux. and you cant frameserve anything to it.

Each time I refresh with F5 the forum main page this message appearenty is sent again.

Hello!
Amazing piece this TMPGenc, a long way to learn it throughfully.
Why Editr merge screen freezes at 5 minutes? I read somewhere that it's a know bug but at this forum it wa stated like there mustn't be any problems with preview window. Fact is that there is picture rather occasionally and only way to use edit and cut function is to enter the correct start and end times numbers manually... while at first number it jumps to the ... 4 minutes, let say and previews the still picture but when i add 30 minutes it doesn't jump anymore to preview this new location.

I run win98se at this computer and tempgenc lates version. I have tried, it the same problem on several computers. Is there something one can do about?

TIA
jetty

This could be because of the "Mpeg2 Decoder" you are useing...If you are useing the "Ligos" Decoder then try the "Cyberlink" Decoder and if you are useing the "Cyberlink" decpder then try the "Ligos" decoder...Or you can allways use a Different Mpeg editor...

Hello!

Thanks for comments.
I assume that when i remove the codec on VFAPI by unchecking and setting prioprity from 1 to 0 I remove one. But playing with Ligos one or with Cyberlink one doesn't change the edit Window behaviour.
Is there any other mpeg2 decoders to use?
How to plug in there anything to VFAPI plug-in list?
I'm working with mpeg 2 streams for DVD authoring.

jetty

Well if you can"t get the decoders to read the file better then maybe you should try useing a different Mpeg editor....

when im converting .avi to .mpeg im only getting audio in the converted file. also while its converting the preview window is blank. anyone else have this problem? i hate waiting like 2 hours for it to convert for nothing. please email me if you have a solution or ANY comments!!

I've had the same issue for over a week now. The only new thing I loaded was WMP 9 Beta.
