Just starting using this program. I have an hour long AVi. file and encoding it into a mpeg2 file. it has been 25 minutes and only 13% is complete. IS that normal? Is there anyway to speed it up?
Thanks.

Depending on the speed of your processor, yes.
>Is there anyway to speed it up?
1. Faster processor.
2. Reduce output quality (e.g., CBR instead of VBR, less accurate motion search)
3. Switch to a faster encoder. ;)

You're welcome. :)

When I open Tmpegenc and open an avi file it says "cannot open or not supported". I have tried with some different avi files and it happens the same. Why ? I only need to convert avis to mpeg for cutting films to make it smaller, and because Virtual Dub cannot open avis too. Can anybody help me??

The program is called "TMPGEnc MPEG Editor", not AVI Editor - isn't it?
And if VirtualDub isn't able to open the AVI, you have a Codec-problem.

i have the same problem, i have downloaded fddshow so i DO have all of the codecs necissary even though i havent thryed it in virtual dub. however, i need mine to convert to get it to burn to a dvd. So dont crack on him. Anyone help if you can

hello!

I am using Windows Xp(w/ srv. pk 2), Tmpgenc 2.5+, and this guide: http://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/153058.php
To join subtitles to a divx movie(divx 4.5 was used -*i think)

Problem being...
When i goto "start" Tmpgenc is freezes. I have followed the directions to the "T" but no luck...

Any help would be EXTREMELY and FOREVER appreciated!
thanks sooo much!

I had this problem until I installed "service pack 1".

>I have followed the directions to the "T" but no luck...

What does that phrase mean?
I thought it went 'I have followed the directions to the "letter" but no luck...'

hi there
i downloaded a trial version of 1.6 and trying to convert some VCD (.DAT) files to a single dvd. DVDAuthor1.6 able to conver the video fine, but has no sounds.

I checked that the .dat file and are all 44k, so i checked the "reencode audio" option to convert everything into 48k (and tried both monolingual or bilingual)... but still no sound

so... do i have to use yet another problem to pre-convert the file into something else, then import them to DVDAuthor and convert them to dvd format ?
thx in advance

Well it not really a bug, just a tiny grammar mistake:
Is: Option > Task Priority > When actif - Normal Priority.
Should be: Option > Task Priority > When active - Normal Priority.

You noticed that too, eh?

Hi,

I try to convert the 640x360 (16:9) Xvid AVI to mpeg using the TMPGEnc Plus 2.5, but everytime I convert it change to 4:3 ? No matter what I've set in the Expert Setting for Source!!!

Please help!!

Well, the ouput will still be 4:3 if you are only changing the source settings.
You need to alter the output aspect ratio to 16:9 under the 'Video' tab

Hi, in TMpgENC I am having problems with the audio dissapearing entirely in certain files. The files are using Mpeg-3 audio. I believe this is due to it being Variable Bitrate. So my first workaround was to bring it into virtual dub and extract the audio to a wav file, that made the audio way off-sync. When I load the video into vdub it says this "VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source avi file and will rewrite the header with standard cbr values..."

Anyways, any idea why the audio isn't working in TMpgEnc in the first place? or what is a workaround I can use? These files work fine in other similar programs, but lack the quality.

The apparent problem is lack of a suitable ACM (VFW) codec for decoding MP3 audio that isn't 100% compliant with the standard, and I know of no such suitable codec. The easiest work-around I know of is to first use the freeware AVI Audio Decompressor (which comes with avi2vcd http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=avi2vcd) to decompress the MP3 audio into a new AVI along with the video.

The Kristal Studio MPEG Layer-3 Audio Codec 4.2.0.0 (MPEG Layer-3 Producer, Copyright 1999-2000 Kristal Studio), which can be found in the Nimo Codec Pack 5.0 Build 8 http://nimo.titanesk.com/modules/freecontent/index.php?id=1, will decode the audio in some (but not all) problematic XviD+MP3 AVIs in my tests.

To anyone who can help.... My computer crashed and we had to reinstall Windows XP. Unfortunately, we lost everything and of course I didn't back anything up(lesson Learned!). I'm trying to find out how to reinstall TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 (purchased last year) but I don't know how to do that and of course I don't have my original registration code. Does anyone know whre I can go to get this information? I've looked everywhere in the Pegasys website and the TMPGEnc website. I realy don't want to have to buy it again.
Thanks to all who can help.

Just simply re-download the TMPG zip file again and unzip it to your drive to install it. You will need to contact pegasys to explain your situation and they may re-send your code.

I agree. The serial was in windows registry, HKEY CURENT USERSoftwarePegasys Inc. TMPGenc Plus2.5.
I really hope you got it correcly, ot Pegasys won't re-send you it again...

When I open an MPEG for editing, I get audio and video in the preview box where I set my start and stop time. When I hit Run, it only processes video. When I play the finished product, there's no audio only video.

What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to convert a avi -> mpeg but I can add the video source but normally my audio sources have been the same but now, TMPENC says that the file is not suitable for the job. How can I add sound now ?

thanks.

http://unserboard.free.fr/dv/video2.m2v

A pretty jerky video. It never happend, but one day it started to get jerky somehow.

here are the properties of the source, i frameserved it from Adobe Premiere into Tmpgenc.
http://unserboard.free.fr/dv/settings-movie.png

And here are the setting i used with Tmpgenc
http://unserboard.free.fr/dv/settings.png


I've already tried it without the "No motion search..."
i tried to change the field order(actually no nessecary)
and I did try the "motion search precision" with highest quality.



anynone any ideas..... I would cry tears if somebody could help me out.

Bye

Robert

Looks... interesting. Every 5th frame is a copy of the previous frame.
Maybe you project settings in premiere where wrong (PAL instead of NTSC)

jesus I am a dumb f***

adobe gave a framerate of 25 frames/sek and I was encoding 29.97 frames/sek

I could have thought of this myself. But lucky there are people like you that help out noobs like me :)


thanks a lot

robert

Trying to add different format MPG files to TMPGENC DVD author eg 16.9 and 4.3

IS there any way of doing this ?

Many other programs allow this

Thanks

That's VERY simple... Read the manual!
Each file has to be imported as an single track.
You can't combine different formats into one track.
