I have two MPEG-2 files created by TMPGenc at the same time and have identical size, aspect, bitrate and fps. The audio is identical. However merge/cut claims the videos are incompatible. Clearly something is wrong, any explanation?

Sorry, I should have added that I can't see a way to find out exactly what it thinks is different about the two files. Is there a way of logging what the problem is?

Maybe one is interlaced and one is progressive.

You can find out what the properties of each one is and therefore find what the difference is with 'Bitrate viewer'

Ashy, thanks.

That was exactly the difference. Now all I have to do is understand what that means and to find out how to ensure that TMPGenc is consistent.

Cheers,

Bob.

I see that different AVI codecs produce a different default MPEG encoding which is where my problem came from.

This begs two questions:

Question 1 is: How will it affect video quality if I choose a different encode mode and,
Question 2 is what is the best way of encoding, Interlace or Progressive?

Many Thanks,

Bob.

hi.
it is my first time, i want to create a vcd movie with tmpgenc, but I cant,when I open the program this ask me that i chose the option , I chose video movie then it ask me the file that i want to convert a mpeg file, I select the original movie (dvd drive d.) and in the screen appears many files video ts, audio ts and others, I dont know what I must to do.
could you somebody explain me, how this programm works
and if is possible to copy dvd and convert them a vcd with tmepg and vcdeasy

what i must do first

thanks.

TMPG is NOT an all in one DVD to VCD solution. It is simply an encoder. You will need some other programs to do this.

You can find guides how to do this with TMPG at DVDrhelp.com

Hello there!

I'm using TMPGEnc to demux an mpeg2 stream that I have on a DVD.

I am using the Demultiplex function, and navigate to my VOB, and then begin the process.

I have gotton the full .ac3 file (5 minutes) but only the first of 3 video files. (All the audio is there, just no video).

Any idea what I can do to get the complete video file?

Thanks,

Megan

If you want to demux VOBs you should use VOBEDIT.
This program will either demux individual VOBs or the whole set to complete seperate files.

Hi all

Maybe do you know why a have "classFactory could not found the codec" to read an avi file. I did this avi file with vfapi. its a fake avi made from a d2v file made by dvd2avi.

What i need to read this avi file?

thanx

I just downloaded TMPGEnc and I tried to convert a .avi to a .mpg file and when I played it the sound worked fine but the video is just black (and sometimes flickers green) so I can't see the picture. Did I do something wrong?

Hello.. everybody say use file serving to fix problem with ntdll.dll but what is that.. I have VirtuaDub but i dont know how to do fileserving

It is called frame serving....

To do frame serving in virtual dub, go into the virtual dub folder and open auxsetup.exe
Here is a link that explains it:
http://www.dvdrhelp.com/virtualdubframeserve.htm

I prefer to frame serve using AviSynth rather then virtual dub. Head over to www.avisynth.org to download it. It comes with much ducumentaion to explain how to use it.

What's the difference?

Hi TMPGEnc-User!

I start TMpeg with the options /batch and /close it will display the result log after encoding and waits for me to OK it.

After that it will close as expected.

I think if you want it to close you don't want to say OK before, do you ?

Is there an option to skip this log (as Tmpeg does when selecting "shutdown" manually)?

Or is there a commandline option to shutdown?

- i use the TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 Version 2.521.58.169-Plus-EN (buyed & regged)

Regards

Roland

Hi i am new at this but i used TMPGEnc few times and now i cant use it because i am getting all the time same error with ntdll.dll before converting..

ok hold on i am trying to find it first in this huge posting database

1: Ok i just found that i should serve that file with VirtuaDub to TMPGEnc.
2: I found that every thought that problem is in XviD videos. I dont think so bacause.. i have this problem with DivX video
3: And what is strange i have this problem with same videos that i already converted before (so it was working yesterday) But not today.
4: I think this is very IMPORTANT PROBLEM. so i think you should Put it to FAQ

You could try to install ffdshow and use it to decode your divx and xvid files. Using it seems to fix the ntdll.dll error.

using tmpg (trail version), i've built the dvd video and menu. when i play the files (via laptop/powerDVD) the menu has large noisy horizontal stripes through it ! I can still access/see the chapters and films ok, and they view/play cleanly as expected .... (The background has an image from the mpeg and has replaced the original on the template) ....any ideas anyone ??

ps this problem does not occur with an original template, only with a new image!)

You have posted in the wrong forum. This is not the dvd authoring forum.

I think youve got the wrong forum you need the TMPGdvd author forum this is the TMPG encoding forum.

I've had that problem at times too on different authoring tools.
I have found that a field encoded file plays back as you have noticed, on computer monitors: which are progressive scan. They play fine on ntsc monitors.


However, if you re-encode the file with frame based encoding, that may solve your problem.

Also, whatever software you use on your computer will effect playback. Different decoders react differently.

Hope that helps.

I'm trying to use TMPGEnc to encode a file that is an AVI in the MS-MPEG4 V2 format to DVD. I've pulled out the audio stream using VirtualDub, so my source video is the AVI and my source audio is a wav file. Every time I try to encode it to DVD, it stops encoding at exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes into the movie.

Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance.
