I have encountered a strange problem which I can't seem to solve.
When I am compiling a certain movie xvid to vcd I get the premovie slogan (like the producing company or title) then it (only the video) goes black for the 1:30 first minutes or so and then goes right again till the end.
The audio is just fine from the begining. (so the first 1:30 minutes or so I can only hear the audio but the screen is black).
The source is just fine played with any media player.
No synchronization problems cause it is cut to two cds and everything is fine. I have created a wav audio stream with virtual dub.
Can somebody shed some light on this. Thx in advance.
I been making a lot of VCDs, but I realized when I play it on TV most of the clips of the side is not shown. I currently use "Full Screen (Keep Aspect Ratio)". When I post here last I was told that I can customize so that it has more black bars but it would keep all the information.
Anyone has same problem? What did you do? What kind of setting do you use for it? (Center, Center(Customize), Full Screen . . .)
I dont mind the picture being smaller than regular full screen as long as every thing is in the screen.
Thanks a lot. . .
If you go into the "Advanced Settings" to "Clip Frame" there you can see what the picture will look like, so You can adjust it and see what the results would be.If you are just trying to compensate for your TV"s overscan try anywere from 4 to 20 Pixels off each side of the Picture depending on how bad your TV"s overscan is...
I have an avi file that has the audio out of sych with the video. When i encode it to a vcd with tmpgenc, the audio is perfectly in sych! How does tmpgenc manage to do that?(am not complaining) I must admit, the avi is incomplete and must be loaded into virtual dub , where is reconstructs the missing index block, in order to view it. The avi file is divx 5.0 and is only some 10% of its total length. (still downloading it!). I do not extract the audio first. The audio is already in uncompressed pcm formatt. It is mono. So what i am saying is that virtual dub, after reconstructing the missing index block, does not play audio/video in sych but tmpgenc does.
First off, this is a great little program. I downloaded the trial version this morning and it worked great. I have been playing with it most of the day with no problems. Tonight I tried to open it and got the white trial screen and that is it. The program is running in my task properties but it doesn't show up nor can I use it. If I click on it to try to start it again, it starts a new event of it in my task properties and I have to close them down manually. Tried redownloading but that didn't help. I am running Win 2000, 256 DDR,1.5 Ghz Pentium4 with 250gb total hd space. Any help is appreciated.
I've had similar problems and they seem to occur if TMPG has previously crashed and left a zero size file as the output file. Then when opening the program again the default output file still has the same name and the program hangs. I solved this by simply deleting the bad output file. The default input file seems to also cause this problem.
Make sure you completely delete TMPG from your system before installing again, especially if you have the installer version as TMPG still leaves traces which are causing the problem.
You must ensure you have deleted the following files - 'TMPGEnc.ini' and 'CurrentCfg.tpr' when removing TMPG.

Well go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the Priority of the "Direct show" to "1 or 2" then encode and see if the image gets encoded fine, if that doesn"t work the Download the "FFDShow Filter" this Filter will Decode all DivX/XviD/Mpeg-4 Codecs better than the Codecs them selves and could solve your Problem....
NO! Bad idea.
Installing codecs from the likes of codec packs just for the sake of it only causes more problems and leads to conflicts on your system.
Only install codecs you need and stay well clear of codec packs.
I have downloaded a few files recently that will not play in windows media player. It tries to do download a codec but says there has been an error in doing this. If i explore the files they all seem to require the angel potion codec, which i have downloaded but this still will not let me watch the files. Any advice? Do i have to convert the files, if so how?
First thing Get Rid of the "Angel Potion Codec" that is if you want to use Tmpgenc, Cuz that Codec is a Hacked codec that Causes Major problems with Tmpgenc and Any Mpeg-4 codec will let you watch Angel Potion Encoded Files..First you have to Make sure that the Files aren"t Corrupted Which is Very Common with Downloaded files, and if it is encoded with a DivX/Xvid/Mpeg-4 codec which it probably is then you should look for a Codec/Filter Called "FFDShow" it will Decode Practicly any Format From all Mpeg-4 formats to Mpeg and Mjpeg Formats..
Haven't been able to find the answer by searching so I hope someone can direct me to or be able to help any other way. I set an AVI file to batch encode into 2 50 minute mpgs. After 10 to 20 minutes the first one finishes and goes right to the 2nd one. TMPGEnc never gave me a problem on my old system running ME, but since I upgraded and loaded Win2000 I'm getting the problem.
Thanks
Sorry if this is a really dumb Newbie type question but anyway here goes :
Im trying to merge 2 identical mpg files each around 400kb and from the same source. The result is a single mpg file of 470kb, which consists of all of the first file and only a little bit of the second one. I have no problems merging smaller files...
Also recently Ive tried to cut a piece out of a large MPEG file in order to get it down to size for a CD and exactly the same thing happened (a file of around 470kb) Im sure that I must be doing something very basic wrong - If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Cheers !
Well there Might be some sort of error with the second file or incompatibility especially if the Mpeg files were not made by Tmpgenc, and the Merge & Cut can be pretty buggy at times..What I do when I can"t get one program to work is use a Different Program, there are other Mpeg joiners out there, like Mpeg2vcr is a Very good editor Joiner..
Actually - thinking about it - it doesnt explain why my extra-large file was also reduced in size when I tried to cut a bit out of it. I had an 800mb file and cut a bit out to get it to approx 700 - the resulting file only consisted of the first 460mb of the original.... I guess this may be due to the 'buggy' cut n paste function as well ? Any thoughts ?....
I just downloaded this i am trying to Convert a Avi File to Vcd, i chose the sorce for video and audio, and when i press start, to encode, it gives me this Error, :
Write Error code at this Address : 77f5215c of Mudal 'Ntdll' with 00000000, and it wont write, anyone know what the problome could be?
I cannot get the encoder to work. I have a nearly identical system at work and it works flawlessly. However at home I get an error that says "file is unsupported or cannot open". The file is a .avi exported from priemere 6.5 I am assuming it is a codec issue but I am not sure. Does anyone know what I should try. I have gone to the environmental settings and raised the priority of Direct Show. I am really stumpted.
I started the encoding for the AVI to Mpeg file last night and it is done. The AVI file was split into 2 parts. Since there is no Audio track I extracted the audio into wav format using virtualdub.
The first half of the AVI encoded perfectly. From beginning to end the audio matches up perfectly.
The second part the audio is skewed. I overlapped the 2 parts by 5 seconds-ish. It is strange that that 5 seconds in the first part is normal while the second part's 5 seconds is skewed.
Does anyone know why TMPGEnc does that? Is there a work-around besides manually setting the audio displacement (Which isn't very accurate)?
