I cant open it using TMPEGEnc(error msg : not supported)
& VirtualDub also explains something like that.
I know Microsoft tryin to block this out, so that there wont be able to be decoded. But... Is there any way for encoding this type of file now? Coz I wanna encode it to MPG & then make it as VCD. Thank's.
Currently the IVTC in tmpgenc decard 3 out of 5 frames, then just duplicates the frame to get 23.97fps. If I am not wrong, the telecined frames have the frame structure of 11 , 22 , 23 , 34 , 44; where the third frame in the original 24fps source is splitted in the 23/34 interlaced frames. If we just decard it the video will getting jerky. Is there anyway to weave the two interlaced frames back together and get back the 3rd frame???
I don't think you really know how IVTC works. You can only IVTC an 29.97 fps MPEG2 source which has already had telecine applied. If it is a purely interlaced 29.97 fps source then using IVTC will cause jerky playback as seems to be in your case.
How are you verifying this source is telecined?
As for discarding 3 out of 5 frames, this is not the case either. To return a telecined 29.97 fps source back to a progresseive 23.976 fps source 1 frame in 5 is removed or rather 2 repeated fields in every 5 frames.
>where the third frame in the original 24fps source is splitted in the 23/34 interlaced frames.
I have absolutely no idea what you mean by this, but in any case it is not correct.
IVTC works by locking on to the 3:2 field pattern and discarding all other fields. Once the the repeated fields are removed the remaining frames are progressive. No duplication at all takes place in IVTC.
The best way to perform IVTC is to use the ForcedFilm option in DVD2AVI. If DVD2AVI reports the movie as being more than 95% FILM then ForcedFILM can be used otherwise you should just leave the movie as interlaced or de-interlace it at a sacrifice of quality.
>where the third frame in the original 24fps source is splitted in the 23/34 interlaced frames
I have been studying your post and think I realise what you mean.
You cannot just delete the third frame. This frame contains part of the original frame. To remove the frame correctly the 1st repeated field(2)in the 3rd frame and the 2nd repeated field(4) from the 4th frame would have to be removed to follow the 2:3 pattern and return the progressive frames.
If you do delete the whole of the 3rd frame you WILL have jerky playback because you are deleting part of the original frame and the repeated frame. This would equate to 3 original frames lost per second and 3 repeated frames being left in.
please help me if you can......is there any way to remove the 4 lines of text that show at the beginning and at the ending up of those music videos?.....usually this text is the song title, artist, album name, record company......
i have a pop dvd that i want to rip but i dont want to have those title appear when i copy the dvd......
If these really are DVD subtitles then they shouldn't be visible after you have ripped the DVD.
DVD subs are selectable. You probably have subs enabled on your DVD player. If these subs are not selectable subs then there will be no way to remove them without losing some of the image.
i am converting a file to mpeg. the file is 1hr 10min long but it is going past the 1hr 10min source position. how is this happening and why? the video is stopped in last spot(end of 1st part of a 2 part movie) and i know it reached the end.
Sometimes with Files Tmpgenc will encode the last frame of the file long past the end of the Movie, so if you know it is past the end of the Movie then stop it and Watch it and if there is just a Bunch of black at the end then use the "Mpeg Tools" Merge & Cut" to cut off the Extra, If there is a Different Problem with the File post it we will try to help...
My wife used a friend's computer to make a home video on CD. The final video came out in 720x576 24fps MPG-2 file. I want to take that file and convert it to SVCD to play in a DVD player. I downloaded TMPGEnc and selected SVCD Film, then opened the .mpg file as my source. I get a message "unable to open source file." What might be causing this error? I know that VirtualDub doesn't support MPG-2, so how can I convert this file for SVCD?
On that same note, can I use VCDEasy to burn the file as an SVCD without actually converting the MPG? Will most DVD players still play it since it's an MPG2 file like DVD?
You may not need to convert it at all. Most DVD players will accept a 720x576 MPEG2 file, but this is a PAL resolution and your frame rate is NTSC Film.
Try this.
Just demultiplex this MPEG using TMPG then load the resulting M2v file into a program called PULLDOWN.EXE and it's GUI from here: http://guiguy.wminds.com/downloads/pulldownbatchfe/down.html and run it. This will convert the frame rate to 29.97 fps.
When done re-multiplex the audio and video back together using the SVCD stream setting in TMPG then just burn the MPEG as a SVCD with NERO.
I get a write error at address 004028A9 of module
TMPGEnc.exe with 009114D0. When converting D2V file.
I've seen a LOT of this problem on the BBS but
you cannot contact anyone of Pegasys and they
are obviously not going to help us out, are they?
Well shame on them. Their program is malfunctioning!
They should take more pride on the program..
So this is your opportunity to help a Whole lot
of people with this. These are not Bad Framed Files,
Not lack of Diskspace, etc... Solve the problem!
If it was a Bug in the Program EVERYONE would have the Problem all of the Time, And you are Right ,Write errors do Pop up sometimes But you are only the Second person I have heard of rescently that has had this Problem with D2V files , it is More common with Divx/XviD AVI files..And there is More than One program at work here,In your Case the Problem could very well be due to DVD2AVI,Try loading the "D2V" file into the "Vfapi Converter" and see it it successfully Makes a Dummy AVI file, then try to encode that in Tmpgenc and see if it still pops up an error..You can allways try Frameserveing the VOB file to Tmpgenc with Virtual-Dub-Mpeg2-AC3, this is a Little Known version that will accept Raw VOB files and the AC3 audio and Frameserve it, you can e-mail me and I"ll send you it as I don"t know were to download it..But I would still say that the Writers do care about Tmpgenc and how it works cuz if they didn"t they wouldn"t release a New version every month or so to fix any problems that have croped up in the Last version, very Few Programs can say they release a New version every month....
i took vob files then used dvd2avi and after tmpgenc is done the audio and video dont match up with each other on the finished mpeg 2 file is there a setting for this or have i done something wrong? any help would be appreciated.....thx
I don"t know if this is the Problem but sometimes DVD2AVI can have Problems decodeing the audio to WAV, so instead of decodeing to wav set the audio to "Demux" then you will have an AC3 audio file, now use something like "Headac3he" to decode the AC3 directly to "Mp2 audio" and encode the Video normally in Tmpgenc then after open up tmpgenc"s Mpeg tools" and go to "Simple Multiplex" and Load the Video file in and The Mp2 audio file and Mux them together, then you should have a Perfectly Synced Movie.."Headac3he" is a Very High Quality Audio encoder But it is Quite slow, so it could take half an hour to Encode the AC3 to MP2 audio but the Quality will be really good...
I've been using Tmpgenc for quite a while now. I've encoded many files with it successfully. Recently, I'm encountering "illegal operation" error when encoding. I've read some queries saying that Windows Media Player 9 has something to do with it. I've been using WMP9 even before i used TMPGEnc, so I'm wondering if it is really the problem. I've tried reinstalling my Win98 but still i get this error. I tried the new TMPGEnc 2.510, but still same error.
Can you please help me? Thanks!
Ok heres what happened when i try to convert CD1 to VCD.
Ok i just used the vcd NTSC Templater that comes with tMPGenc.
I switch the aspect ratio to "4:3 525 line (NTSC)"
I don't enable any filters. Then it says:
Movie Info: 352x24029.97 fps / 44100 Hz Stereo / 214 min 57 Sec
Video Resolution: 352x240
Average Video Bitrate: 1150
Audio Bitrate: 224
Estimated File Size: 2150.02 MB
I don't understand why this happened... i never had any problem converting any other files. I Have also tried to convert just the video file by itseld.. It still goes up to 1800 MB so i know it's not a video problem.
I know this was lengthy but i wanted to be as detailed as i could. If anyone had this problem before and knows how to fix it please help!!
The file size TMPG is giving you is absolutely bang on for VCD according to the length of the movie TMPG has detected.
Standard VCD bitrate encodes at 10mb/min. Your movie is according to TMPG is 215 mins long that would give a file size of 2150mb which is exactly what TMPG has estimated.
The file size of the original has absolutely nothing at all to do with the output size whatsoever. It is the length which affects the output.
Are you sure the movie is only 2hr 20 mins? If so this is the problem. Try using the source range to select the start and end points of your movie.
If that doesn't help just ignore what TMPG is telling and encode the movie anyway, it should only be 1400mb if the movie is 2hr 20min long.
You could try running the AVI through virtualdub using the direct stream copy option to try and correct the timecode or just frameserve it from Virtualdub.
Same problem happend with me. Downloaded 2 DivX movies of 700 MB each and they result in a 4.4 GB Mpeg file. When I started cutting the Mpeg file the last changing image was exactly at the time the movie is supposed to end (142 minutes) and the rest is a static of the last frame. So I first cut off the static and then cut the rest in two for the 2 SVCD's or leave it for a DVD.
My problem is that I seem to be unable to get sound with the movie after creating a DVD-PAL project. 1 solved, 1 to go.
Hi can any tell me how to convert dvd file (the vob file) to other format.
I have read the furom that they can't convert because of the subtitle or multiple audio, and video that why it can't convert.
I know that I can use dvd2avi to create a good file.
but that take to long to format.
I remember there is the old version of the TMPGenc that can convert dvd to other format.
What when wrong, my TMPGenc can't convert from dvd to other format anymore.
I still remember that I did convert a whole punch of DVd file to the SVCD file.
This is crazy.
Don't know how to solved this problem.
Please don't reply if you can't solved this problem.
>I have read the furom that they can't convert because of the subtitle or multiple audio, and video that why it can't convert.
What do you mean? You mean you can't use TMPG to encode directly from VOBS.
> know that I can use dvd2avi to create a good file.
but that take to long to format.
It only takes a few minutes to create a d2v project file and a wav file with DVD2AVI then just load both into TMPG and encode as normal, so what's the problem?
This is how most people do it without a problem, so obviously somewhere you are not doing it right.
You Probably made a AVI file with DVD2AVI and that is why it took you so long, Instead of going to "File" to "Save AVI" you go to "File" to "Save Project" and save a D2V project File and load that into Tmpgenc...
if i encode some avi-file i have no sound at the resultfile.before i update the tmpgencoder to version 2.51 . And if i use other encoding-tools i have also no sound on the moviefile.
You Probably need to extract the audio from the AVI file and decode it to WAV, then use the WAV file to encode in Tmpgenc..Something like "AVI-Mux" works well for this...
All of a sudden the picture quality in Tempgenc looks washed out and appears the same way after encoding and playing back. Maybe this has been addressed before but I couln't find it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
What do you mean By Washed out, has the Color Changed?? Maybe make sure you don"t have the "Angel Potion" Codec installed, this codec can cause Color distortion in Mpeg files on systems that have the codec installed....
>All of a sudden the picture quality in Tempgenc looks washed out and appears the same way after encoding and playing back. Maybe this has been addressed before but I couln't find it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
There is an option un the Quantize matrix sectiion that allows you to preserve the IRE of your source video.
Output basic YCbCr
Enabled
Generally, you should select this option; it will preserve the original contrast of your source footage. If your source footage is high-contrast computer-generated animation, disabling this option will ensure its brightness and saturation remain within "legal" video limits. Also, some DV codecs seem to automatically compensate for this difference between video signal and digital colour range, which will make the resulting output seem too dark. If you notice the MPEG file looks darker than the DV original (the difference will be something around 8%), try disabling this feature and see if that corrects the problem. I will try to test different DV codecs to determine which ones are affected by this.
>Output basic YCbCr
>Enabled
>Generally, you should select this option
Well this all depends on the source and whether it not it has the required range also, if not like most AVI and the output is meant for TV it may become dark and the colours will not be displayed at the the correct ranges, blacks will become grey.
I would disagree and say CCIR601 is more suitable for most sources intended for TV to ensure the correct scale on the TV unless it is known the source has the full range.
I have tested this and have found on most occasions CCIR601 gives the closest representation as far as brigtness levels and saturation are concerned.
Thank all for replying. I still cannot get the picture to adjust to its original contrast setting. It still has the lack of contrast look no matter what mpg I load into it. I have tried all the various settings you have mentioned but nothing changed. The only other thing I have installed recently was DVDworkshop, ver1, but have since uninstalled it because it was giving me a kernel 32 error.
BTW..The mpgs play perfect in powerdvd.
Well, I adjusted the contrast settings in color correction and the picture improved about back to normal, so that was encouraging and it encoded fine. Now today, when I load files into TempGenc the picture came back to normal without any adjustments. I am clueless. Thanks again for the advice.
