after i'm enconding a *.avi to *.mpg, i'd notiecd a problem with the sound.
the sound is a little beat delay. i mean that in the movie the sound dont match the characters lips.
how can i fix this? (if it's impossible)
Thank you
I'm trying to open SVCD (MPEG-2) movie file with TMPGEnc Plus 2.58.44.152, but get a "can not open, or unsupported" error. I have raised the priority for the DirectShow VFAPI plug-in to 2, but this has not helped.
When I try to open the file with the Merge & Cut MPEG tool in TMPGEnc, I also get an error - "Can not open this file with DirectShow (0x80040218), Detail:[] 03¼]" (The detail: part appears as square-Esquare on screen).
I also tried opening the file with VirtualDub and there too get an error - "MPEG Import Filter: pack synchronization error".
I can play the movie with PowerDVD but not with Windows Media Player 8. WMP is suggesting that the movie may have been encoded with a codec that it does not support.
Can anybody please help me with my problem? How do I find out what codec was used?
TMPG can encode to MPEG2, but cannot decode MPEG2 nor can Mediaplayer.
For this you will need a third party MPEG2 codec.
It is strange though that you have PowerDVD installed and are having problems as TMPG and mediaplayer should be using this codec to decode MPEG2 unless your are using an earlier version of TMPG than TMPG v2.58 to open these files.
Have a look in your VFAPI plugins for the Cyberlink codec and then raise it's priority.
for me the svcd that i got , is in pal(europe dvd). so im in north america (ntsc). could this make my ati media player just to play the sound but not the video. tmpgenc unsupported . virtualdub unsupported, wmp unsupported , elecard mpeg-2 player unsupported .....??????????
latest version of tmpgenc doesn't seems to work . do i got to make something more for this....??????
help help help help help please please please.....
Whether the SVCD is PAL or NTSC wont make any difference.
Do you have the Cyberlink codec listed in your VFAPI plugins in TMPG.
If you do there may be a problem with the SVCD file.
If this is the case you can use TMPG de-multiplexer to seperate the Video and audio streams in the SVCD.
This will seperate the video to a file called *.m2v and the audio to *.mp2
Try and load this into TMPG.
If you want to download DVD2AVI which is the Best way to encode Mpeg2 files with Tmpgenc it is easy to find ,You just didn"t try very hard..You just put DVD2AVI into a Search engine like "Google" ,I just did it and the very first thing that came up was this: http://arbor.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~jackei/dvd2avi/ which it were you can download it....
I found a good web site for help with TMPGEnc. It is [S]VCD Help http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgenc.htm. It also covers my very problem. It too was suggesting increasing the VFAPI priority for Cyberlink as well as using other MPEG2 codecs. The Cyberlink (PowerDVD) VFAPI somehow does not work. The pop-up info shown about this VFAPI plugin states that it is a TMPGEnc built-in plugin; ie. it is not linked to my PowerDVD installation. How do I change this? There is no *.vfp file in the PowerDVD directory.
From the web site I downloaded another MPEG2 codec (m2v.vfp), which is working a little better. I now can open a SVCD as video source, but still can't use the Merge&Cut MPEG tool in TMPGEnc.
I used the suggested DVD2AVI method to frameserve the SVCD to TMPGEnc. This worked okay and with the "Source Range" option I'm able to cut the SVCD as desired. The problem now is that the new MPEG file is 230mb bigger than the source. Has the audio been decompressed or why is this the case? How can I fix this?
BTW, when I look at the original MPEG with a hex viewer it shows that the file starts with a RIFF header "RIFFt1w.CDXAfmt ..." ahead of the TMPGEnc header. The new MPEG I created above only has the TMPGEnc header. What is this RIFF header?
I tried to convert a XviD.avi file but TMPGEnc always say that my file can not open, or is unsupported. I tried raising the piority of that DirectShow to 1, 2, 3,... I tried many digits but all of this caused my video to have green patches all over it... Can someone help out?
The link didn't come out correctly, so you might have to copy and past in browser.
After installing than you can take the DirectShow back up to highest priority.
Hope this helps.
I have been trying to convert an AVI file to an MPEG2 file through TMPG 5.9, and it keeps getting errors, or closes unexpectedly. I have tried this with both a 2 GB AVI file and a 400 MB file. Funny thing is, I did it once with another file and it went fine. Other times I try it, everything goes all right, but then it errors again. How can I get past this? I'm on Windows 2000, P4 2.4 GHZ.
Well I guess it would depend on that type of errors you are getting..But in Most cases if you get an error in the middle of an encodeing session it is Because of a problem with the File you are encodeing..Sometimes it is a Corrupted header or some Bad frames in the file.This is Very common with Downloaded movies...You can try Frameserveing the File to Tmpgenc with Virtual dub and you can get V-Dub to Scan the file for any errors and if there are some corrupted frames it Can mask them while frameserveing....
Is there a way to pause encoding...and resume it? I have only a PII 400...and encoding about 389 mg from mpg to vcd is going to take at least 5-7 hours....would be nice if I could do a few hours....pause it....do other stuff...then resume the encoding...is this possible?
Well Sort of..You can Press the "Stop" button ,and when the dialog box comes up and asks if you want to Quit encodeing just don"t answer and go do what ever you want to do on the computer accept turn it off, then when you want to resume encodeing just press the "No" tab in the Abort encodeing dialog Box...
been trying to mpeg 2 from AVI a pretty big file (avi is approx 8 gB) and seem to be running into a wall around the 2 gb mark...is this some real obvious limitation to windows nt 4.0 that tmpg 2.59.47 gets kinda squirrely with files over 2 gB?
Are you saying that when encodeing the Mpeg file and it get"s to about 2gb tmpgenc does something like give you an error of crash or something??? There is No Limit in tmpgenc that would make it stop encodeing at 2gb..The only limit I can think of is if the Partition you are encodeing to is Formated to a Fat16 file system, which has a 2gb limit...Explain what happens when you get to 2gb???
i had an AVI file of 8gb. I tried opening it in tmpg using Morgan Multimedia LSI TVMJPEG software codec, it comes up as grey or black. so i ran the file through Virtual dub and shortened it to approx 2.1 gb. when i went to preview the file in TMPG, i could only get to about 70-90 percent through it ie approx 2 gb worth of video.
sorry i forgot to mention the software codec, but i have used the software codec on other files larger than 2 gb in After Effects no prob.
i will check the drive to see if its fat, ill also look at the MM codec website for any otherpossible clues
Minion a while you told me you were having problems changing the framerate in IUVCR and could not raise it above 25 fps.
I have been in contact with the author about this problem and it can be solved by 'right' clicking on the 'capture format' button and adjusting the framerate through the native windows dialogue.

No, but the logical thing is to do what I used to do and many others with slow systems, encode while you sleep and in the morning you'll have a nice MPEG waiting.
If you load an interlaced File into the "WiZard" it will analize the File for the Correct "Field Order" and adjust it accordingly..But if for some reason you are still getting field order problems and you have tried reversing the field order then you might consider Deinterlaceing...
i try the 2.59 ver. and is not working with non standard vcd it keeps encoding with the standard as a result the file is way to big than the bitrate , the 98%
and file output size how can i fix this problem .
I tyr to download the old version 2.58 and it say that my trail is expire
there is any may to fix this now that already pay for lic.
or to use a early version and where to get it
thanks
If you have already got a license then it will work with any version, so you must not have a license.
There is a bug in the new vesion's muxer, which is using the standard VCD muxing rate for non standard VCD. The way to solve it is to re-multiplex the file using the multiplexer in an earlier version. This will remove the extra padding.
