How do i check to see if the file i want to encode is not full of errors, so i don't waste time encoding something to have it get an error right at the end. This file is in Xvid format
Well if there are Corrupted frames in the File then you can use "Virtual Dub" to scan for errors, But a Lot of the Time with XviD file you will get errors while encodeing to Mpeg because of the Xvid Codec , it is a Good idea to delete the Xvid codec(Unless you are useing it to Make Xvid Files) and download the "FFDShow decoder" it is Better at decodeing Xvid and DivX files than the actual Codecs are, and it solves a Lot of problem when encodeing the Files with Tmpgenc...
Didn"t you Read My Post??? I clearly stated that you "Scan For Errors" with "Virtual Dub", and I said that a lot of the Times errors are caused by the XviD codec, and I said to Get rid of the Xvid Codec and Download the FFDShow Filter/Codec"..And NO you don"t Just let it sit on your Desktop your Supposed to Umm "Install it" ,It won"t do you any Good Just sitting there..It will Basicly Just take over for the Xvid Codec, when installing it will ask you what formats you want it to decode for you, Choose all of them..If you are Useing the Xvid Codec to Make Xvid Files you can leave it installed, The FFDShow will still work...
Theres no need to be Rude, and watch your Language, I clearly stated everything and it seemed to go Right over your Head, I wasn"t trying to be rude(Unlike you)....
This is a great tool, making the process of dvb recording and dvd authoring very easy! Works great, no shift between audio and video.
Esp. for dvb recordings it would be great to have more than one audio source allowing more than one language!
Is there a way to cut and save demuxed files (video and (multiple) audio) without muxing?
If they are Part of the Actual Image then you Can"t Remove them Persey, But you can Cuz the Bottom of the Frame out so the area were the Subtitles are displayed is Not shown..You can do this in the "Clip Frame" settings in the "Advanced" settings...
In the new version of TMPGEnc when I transfer the avi file to mpeg the soundtrack sputters like an old film projecter. I've even switched the wave reader to toolame and the direct show is set at the highest priority in the environmental settings. Any ideas how to fix this? Oh, and I am running Windows XP.
Well you aren"t the only one Complaining about the Crappy audio Quality in this Version, I would either sugest useing the "High Quality" sample Rate conversion, or Just use a Totaly seperate Program to encode the audio, This is what I Allways do cuz Most encoders do not Produce Good Quality Audio..
See my thread that talks about the same problem. My solution was to encode the AVI, then go back and use the conversion option in the File menu to do a separate AVI->WAV conversion. This worked fine for me.
I take it back... Using the file->Convert menu worked when I converted the avi to wav at 33.1 khz but when I tried to do it at 44.1 khz, I got the same stutter problem... What do you have in common with me?
-Dual CPU system
-Windows XP Professional
-AVI made with Movie Maker 2
Well then it IS a Sample Rate conversion Problem, You should install a Better Quality Sample Rate converter, Like as said By another Poster "SCMPX", you can use it as Tmpgenc"s Audio encoder and Sample Rate converter..I personally use a Totally Seperate Program to extract the audio and to do sample Rate conversions and encode and clean up the audio, and Fix any Sync Problems..I usually use "Sound Forge 6" for extracting audio then encodeing to Mpeg audio or Wav audio, and it has a high quality sameple rate converter..Tmpgenc has allways lacked in the Audio depertment...My Work Computer is a P-4 3.06ghz HT PC with Windows XP, But I don"t use it very much for Video stuff Cuz It"s work and don"t have time for my Own Projects, My Home PC is a P-4 2.53ghz with Windows XP, and I have Probably $15,000 worth of Video Editing and DVD/SVCD/VCD Production Software installed and another $20,000 worth on Disk, I have so much Software Cuz I have a Small software resale Buisiness, so if you even need any software for Really Good Prices Let me know....
I just want to add, I found out through this experience it only works if you change the default reader in SCMPX to another that is listed. Otherwise it uses the exact same default as TMPGEnc, and that was the problem in the first place.
My challenge is when I play the movie I've created in my PS2 after one of the cuts the screen goes black with green squares all over it. The only way to fix it is to reset the PS2.
When I play the same movie in my standalone Sony it's fine.
When I play the movie in PowerDVD it's fine, but I see a slight glitch in the video that coincides with when on the PS2 the video goes funky.
I'm trying to encode an avi for a convention and they recommend using MPEG-2 with
Variable Bit Rate encoding with 12 megabits per second as the maximum. However, I can't seem to push it beyond 8 megabits per second. Is there a cap on the bit rate that was recently introduced?
There is a Cap on the Bitrate if you are Makeing a DVD, the Maximum Bitrate that DVD Standards allow is a Max of 9800KBS includeing all the Audio and other tracks combined, so if you are makeing a DVD then you Can NOT use 12000kbs as the Max bitrate, even if the settings did alow it (They actually do) the Disk would not play Properly on your DVD Player..But if you are Not makeing a DVD then you can Raise the Bitrate to Pretty Much anything you want But you will first have to load the "Unlock.mfc" Template from the "Extra" folder, Or you can simply click the word "Bitrate" in the setting dialog and choose "Unlock", it will Probably give you a warning saying that the File will be out of DVD Specs...
Can anyone help i am trying to convert an avi to vcd using Dvd2vcd and Tmpgne. When Tmpgne log says encoding test clip it does so by playing entire avi in window then starts again saying wanted kbs....... predicted kbs......... using CQ value it generates a higher CQ value and starts again this process continues over and over again. What am i doing wrong?
I create my vob's and I play the files using Power DVD software on my computer. I have both audio and video. I burn to a dvd-r and I have video but no audio when I put it in my stand-alone dvd player. I have burned other movies onto dvd-r and they play audio on my stand alone just fine. What is the problem here? By the way, this program is not creating any files in the default video_ts folder, only video_ts folder has the vob files and the .ifo's and .bup's. Please help.
I'm still evaluating TMPGEnc Author software but found out program is always trying to access the internet even when it's loaded. I took care of that via NOrton Internet Security. Why TMPGEnc need to spy on us?
I sure hope so that's why I took the time to anwser your on-line survey. I hope you keep improving the program as I'm planning to buy it at the end of trial.
I have been trying to get TMPGenc to take the output of my ATI AllInWonder Radeon TV Capture card. The output looks good in Media Player but when I burn it to the DVD the result is dramatically less resolution than the original VCR (composite) or Replay TV (tuner) input.
DVD should have a much higher resolution than the off-the-air stuff I'm trying to save. All I want to do is capture my video tapes and replaytv shows to DVD without losing the original NTSC sharpness.
I've tried capturing at 720x480 but I think that I'm capturing at a resolution higher than the original source.
Can someone tell me what the original resolution of a VCR tape and a channel 4 (NTSC) replay TV would be and what I should be capturing the source at?
Specifically I know not to de-interlace and to use the maximum motion estimation but should I use 640x480? 352x480?
For the Highest Quality you should Capture at the Highest Resolution and Bitrate you Possibly Can..NTSC TV Broadcasts uses 525 Lines of Vertical Resolution..so if you Can capture at the Highest Possible Resolution(720+480) and the Highest Data rate you can..You do not want to capture any Lower than that if you are going to Make a DVD out of it Because Up-Sizeing the Resolution will Degrade the Quality of the Image and as you Know standard NTSC DVD uses 720+480...your Movies will allways look beter on your Monitor than on TV because you watch movies on TV in a Much smaller Window that a TV and a Smaller window has a Crisper image because the Flaws in the Image are smaller also, you should probably encode at the Highest Bitrate you can (within DVD Specs) and use a Couple Filters to clean up the Image like a Noise Filter and maybe a Sharpen Filter and maybe a the "Soften Block Noise" filter, I use AVISynth Filter cuz they seem better than Tmpgenc filters and after I have encoded My Captures they look better than they did before I encoded them..I use a Simular Card as you But I use the "AIW Radeon 8500DV" and My Movies usually look Pretty Good after a Lot of Trial and error getting the Filters right and I Probably use a Different Capture Program than you also, MMC doesn"t give the Best Quality compared to some other Programs but it is a Good Tool anyways.....Good Luck
Am capturing tv input using ATI and saving it as a MPEG1 file (This gives me less frame drop). All (sound and video) works well and is synchronized on the original file. I then split the file into smaller (1 hour )segments using the TMPGEnc Project Wizard / Video NTSC. Sound becomes un-synchronized. I have added 500 mscs on the Audio Gap Correction. This seems to do nothing.
How are you spliting the File with the Wizard?? as the editor is Not in the Wizard it is in the "Mpeg Tools", and if you are useing the Wizard then that meant that you are Probably re-encodeing the File??Why if it is allready a Mpeg1 file??
is it possible to allow other resolutions like 480x576, its very annoying to patch my dvb files before importing and patch them back again.
especially because this program is so useful for dvb captures because you can cut out the commercials with it.
I agree fully. I use Ulead Movie Factory 2 because I can "fool" it by patching the first MPEG header resolution entry. Doing so with Tmpgenc Author will result in a GOP error, using 480x576 (unpatched) will generate an error also at last step.
So it will be a very good idea to give the user an option like "Ignore resolution entries" or similar.
