I get an audio only output file (wave sound file),with no video when setting the trial version of TMPGEnc to DVD-NTSC. I need an output file that has sound and video (DVD-NTSC), do I need to use TMPGEnc Plus 2.5?, or pay for the full version? (US $50)

What is your Stream Type Setting? ES (video only) ES (audio only)...System (video+audio)? TMPGEnc will create the mpeg files for you. You will then need an authoring program and burning software.

the setting i am using is greyed out at ES (video+audio)........i am not able to chhose a start and stop point without TMPGEng swithing my setting from the desired System( audio+video) to the setting where i get no video ES (audio+video).

The trial version will work for 14 days.

So you are using the Project Wizard. You select DVD-NTSC, you click next, you then input your video and audio file, then you... I am making a lot of assumptions here, could you be more specific? What are the source files? What settings did you use, etc?

If you are Trying to Encode an AVI file to Mpeg2 then you can try Raiseing the Priority of the "Direct Show File Reader" in the Vfapi Plugins" to "2" this should get you a File with a Picture in it, But if you are trying to Get PCM/Wav audio then you will get 2 files, one will be a WAV audio file and the other will be a M2V Video file, you will have to Load these files into your DVD Authoring Program seperately to author your DVD....

I am converting some VCD's to DVD. I was following a guide from afterdawn.com. I go to the MPEG Tools, and choose the Simple De-multiplex. I choose the input from the cd. I then set the video & audio output to my hd. It appears to work fine however when I pull the new movie up in DVDit LE, It did not do all of the movie. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Is there a TMPEGENC plug-in so it will read Quicktime (.MOV) files? I would like to splice & convert my Nikon Coolpix 2500 15 second silent videos to MPEG / VCD, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best,

Stan

i get no video using mgeg2 (DVD) quality (720x480) resolution, only sound file.

A little More information!!!! are you encodeing an AVI file???? If so Go to the answer I left in the Post Below this one...

I try to encode a DIVX file but it gives a black screen but the audio is fine so any help would be greatful

Try to load the DivX-Video into VirtualDub and use VirtualDub as Frameserver.
If this does'nt work, you maybe need the right Codec.

Go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "Direct show" to "2"...

Sorry to disturb... But I tried all possible means to open the downloaded TMPGEnc-2.510.49.157-Free.zip file (and others), and it does not open saying "ZIP archive is invalid or corrupted"

Is there a trick?

Dmitrij

Yes, the trick is to download it again.

it's possible find a Italian language version?
thanks

No chance.

This is the error I get after a few minutes encoding of one movie, then TMPGEnc simply does not go on to encode allthough the file is a lot longer. Any Ideas what I could do?
Thanks!

What are the source files? Avi's? Which codec?
Are the source files corrupted perhaps?


Try checking your hard disk with Scandisk or some other tool.

I'm also having this same problem with a XVID encoded video. The movie is about 900000 frames and I'm planning on splitting it in 2 for SVCD, frames 500000 - 900000 work and encode fine but frames 1 - 500000 doesn't work. I tried setting the Direct Show Filter to 1 under VFAPI plug and it encoded but when I burn it to SVCD and play it back on my DVD player its distorted.

Hi,

I try to multiplex two saperate .m2v and a .mp2 files to a MPEG-I stream. I was told that I have to install the plugins VFAPI and Toolame, otherwise I always just had a audio but no video signal in the muxed stream. But like sunz (19519) I have the problem, that I don't really know who to install them. Because it is not possible to save the job and open it in VFAPI again by the reason that I use the MPEG-tools for that.

Thanks a lot. Cheers,
Doerky

You don't need any plugins at all to multiplex an m2v and mp2 stream. Just use the simple multiplexer.
Also you can't multiplex to an MPEG1 stream either. The file you have is MPEG2.

Im about to encode an mpeg file to vcd but I would like to put the subs on there too. Is this possible and if so... how?

To do this you would have to use Virtual Dub and the Subtitle Plugin and frame serve the AVI file and the Subs to Tmpgenc...go to "http://www.virtualdub.org/

Hi

if i want to convert a avi into mpeg and press start iam getting the following error message

"The Error Acured when ACM was initialized"

Anyone one know why this happened ?

Thx for the help

Is there an advantage to not using 0 as the minimum bitrate in CQ_VBR? Is this strictly a player issue or are there picture quality (encoding) issues?

Well there are a Bunch of reasons why you should not set the Minimun Bitrate to "0"...One reason is if the Bitrate goes to low your Player won"t be able to read it, and another reason you don"t want it to low is if the Bitrate all of a sudden Jumps from say 200kbs to say 1500kbs or 2000kbs your DVD Player won"t be able to spin the Disk fast enough to go from a Really slow speed at reading at 200kbs to a Fast speed at 1500kbs so the Image will look like slow motion for a couple seconds and the audio can go out of sync for a few seconds till the disk speeds up to the speed were it can read the data at the proper speed, and having to much space between the Minimum and Max bitrate will cause bitrate spikes that will cause an effect the same as I just described...

Thanks. I did not know that DVD players were variable speed.

If you set the bitrate to low and depending on the quality setting then the bitrate chosen by the encoder may not be enough for the data contained in the image.
This will lead to a blocky image. Setting it to a minimum such as 1800kb/s ensures that the minimum bitrate always yields a block free picture when the image detail drops below a certain threshhold.
