Are u sure u have installed the frameserver correctly?
For a quick check, create another .vdr file then open another instance of Virtualdub and try and load the .vdr file into it.
If it loads ok then the client is installed ok and the problem therfore lies with TMPG, if it doesn't then the client isn't installed correctly.
Oh and if the file does load into Virtualdub then try disabling the Directshow file reader in the VFAPI plugins in TMPG then try and load the file again.
I have the following :-
Amd 1.4 with a GF2 32mb agp card 512mb ram running win 98se
when i use TmpGenc 2.58 i get Not responding message its totaly random and does not happen every time, has any one else had this?, is there a fix?
Hello I allow myself to address to me to you because I have some problems with the software free TMPGenc.
indeed, in spite of the use of various versions of TMPgenc, I do not manage to convert a divx into MPEG.
. After a certain percentage, I obtain an error message according to: "Write error occurred At adress 00402å9 of module tmpegenc.exe with 008c3bd0" That can I make.
Merci TRIPS JEAN PIERRE BELGIUM Thank you TRIPS JEAN PIERRE BELGIUM
I did. I chose "Center Screen (Custom Size)" and made it 640x480. I then changed it back to "Full Screen (keep Aspect Ratio)" so it greyed out 640x480. But it still shows "Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)" at the bottom of the main screen.
Can I just ask what the point of resizing to a larger resolution is? The image won't look any better and will become out of spec.
If you still insist on resizing the image to make it larger even though it is pointless then you must change the output resolution to 640x480 by loading the unlock.mcf template then clicking Setting>Video and then alter the size.
The settings you have changed only affect the input resolution not the output.
Simply set the input to 4:3 525 line (NTSC) and fullscreen aspect ratio and the output as above.
I am new to this. Ran TMPEnc to convert a Divx clip to MPG2 to burn a DVD. I accepted the default settings and began. The conversion LOOKS GREAT, but there's no audio!
extract the audio from the divx first with virtual dub and add the resulting wav to tmpgenc for the audio part and the divx for the video part...tmpgenc isn't good at decoding audio
Great software. Part of my DVD authoring routine involved taking the encoded MPG and cutting it up so that it looks like different tracks on the DVD. I use the MPEG tools in TMPGEnc for this... What would be nice is if there were a "Smart Cut" feature, that would go through the MPG and create a cut wherever a scene change were detected...
I personally wouldn"t use Tmpgenc to cut a Mpeg file into little pieces..There are so many little problems that pop up in the mpeg tools like mostly Sync issues with Mpeg files edited with tmpgenc...The New M2-edit Pro 5 is really good at editing without any problems in the mpeg stream...isn"t it just easier to put the chapter points in the movie Manually with the Authoring program than by haveing to cut the file into little pieces??
The DVD burning software that I have doesn't have the concept of "Chapter points". In order to create a separate track, I have to have a separate MPG. What do you all suggest for DVD burning software?
I guess it depends on what you are into...But if you aren"t trying to make a hollywood production or anything then "Ulead DVD Movie Workshop" works pretty good and the 1.2 version Now supports 16:9 Widescreen and Dolby digital Audio..But if you Do want to make a Hollywood Production then Maybe "Sonic DVD Producer" is a Good one It supports 30 Audio tracks 99 menues a few different Subtitle tracks and "Wav, Dolby Digital, and Mpeg audio" I have been haveing fun trying to figure it out ..But the ulead one is Much more user friendly and Much more affordable..Something like $200 for Ulead and $4000 for DVD Producer..And there are Quite a few Authoring programs in between ..All I would sugest is to NOT get a "Roxio" Product cuz they can really screw up your system...On mine it over wrote the Driver for my cd-rw and dvd-Rom and wouldn"t let me Un-Install new one or roll back the driver..It was hell...good luck
There could be a few reasons...First you have to make sure than all the Tmpgenc file you downloaded are in the Same folder not just sitting on your desktop...And make sure that one of those files is called "P3P Package.DLL" and if all the files are in the same folder and there is a File called "P3P Package.DLL" then Trying to Copy and Paste that file into the "System32" Folder..and if that doesn"t work then Delete Tmpgenc and download it again..
I want to convert a divx to SVCD using Tmpgenc, which bitrate settings should i use in order to keep nearly the same quality as the source in order to place the output files on (preferably)2 or 3 CD's?
the svcd's i produce with tmpegenc (and nero for burning) end up having choppy sound during scenes with lots of sound going on. it doesnt seem to matter how much action is in the video though. this happens regardless of source audio format, ive tried various formats including uncompressed pcm and wav.
im now thinking this might be due to the max bitrate of the svcd standard, which is apparently 2778kbps. ive tried using CQ,VBR,CBR, etc, but always with bitrate (or max bitrate) at 2520. that plus sound is 2744, so it should be okay.
but ive heard that if you even get close to the max limit it may be too much.
has anyone noticed this, and gotten around the problem?
im going to try a lower max bitrate for the video to compensate, but as the computing/burning/testing process is pretty tedious i thought id ask just in case anyone has experienced this.
oh yeah, forgot to mention, the mpeg files play fine from the computer. its only when viewed from my stand-alone dvd player that the choppiness occurs. so its not any encoding problem.
Yes I have Experienced this quite a few time when makeing really High bitrate XSVCD"s..Ever player has it"s max bitrate before you start getting problems Mine is pretty High about 6000KBS, but the effect i get is the same as yours, and I thought it was something wrong with the Audio but the audio allways sounded fine in the computer..I think you just have to find the max for your player and stay below it...
If your player is SVCD compatible then it should handle those bitrates ok.
The maximum Video bitrate for SVCD is 2,600 kb/s and the max audio bitrate is 384 kb/s which is 2824 kb/s in total. Your bitrate is under this.
Have you used the MPEGtools to cut your movies at any point and which stream setting did you use when you used them?
Also what speed are you burning your disks at?
You probably just need to raise the Priority of the "Direct Show file reader" you do this by going to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi plugins" and raise the "direct show" to "2"...
The biggest problem people have with avi files is they don't realize avi is a generic term. It is the most widely used audio/video format on Windows platforms. However it is not at all the easiest file to play. Because it is not compressed with one specific codec, rather it is a file that can be compressed (or completely uncompressed) with any one of hundreds of codecs (examples: DivX, MPEG-4v2, Indeo 3.2, I263, Cinepak etc.).
AVI means "Audio Video Interleave".
I have downloaded movie files that are in 2 parts. Each part is more than 700mb. Is it safe to assume that if I want to encode these file that I will have to divide them as I would full avi files. I ask this question because I will have to use 4 cd-rws for one full movie. Are there any alternatives?
The size of the resulting Mpeg file is Directly related to the Length of the source file not the size of the source file..An hour of avi file that is 300MB will be the same size and Hour of AVI that is 1GB as long as the same bitrate is used...
You shouldn't need to use 4 disks for a regular movie no matter how large the source is. Like Minion states it is the running time of the film which determines the size of the output not the size.
If you are creating VCD from this movie then it is likely to fit on just two disks. If it is a large movie and you are creating SVCD then you will likely need 3 disks.
Ok let me understand this. You two are saying that if I have a movie that is in 2 parts that equal over 700MB prior to encoding, that I should be able to fit ALL of the encoded material on two disk as usual, that the lenght of the file is more relevent than the size??? Therefore a two hour movie file encode should fit on two disk when burned.
A 700 MB CD-R will hold 1 hour and twenty minutes of MPEG(1) Video. I usally put 78 minutes of movie on first cd then the rest on next. Only twice have I had to use three cd's
It wouldn't matter if the source movie was 10GB in size. It is totally irrelevant.
If it's only a 2 hour movie and even if it was 10GB it would still fit on 2 disks when encoded to MPEG1 VCD.
It is the output bitrate and the length of the movie which determines the output size not the the input size and bitrate.
