I have finally gotten some good avi's converted from my real media files, but everyone that I try to encode w/ the tmpgenc has great audio, but no video. There is only a black box where the video usually plays as it's being done. Also, I have stopped the encoding to see what the finished mpeg would be like and it's the same thing, great sound no picture! What could be the problem? I must also mention that I have done files that I myself did not convert, but simply downloaded somewhere and they work just fine. But all the files I have created do this and a few that I have downloaded do this. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix it?

I have the same problem: I use Premiere 6.0, Windows XP and a videoserver. With Windows2000 it works fine. What's the difference?

Please help.

"Options" to "enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "Direct Show" to "2"...

I setup a batch file and it works fine. I call it from the command line using the /batch option. Is there a way to have tmpgenc exit after the batch is complete? Also the .tbe file that is created seems to be in japanese unicode characters. Is there a setting to change that to english?

Thanks in Advance

cannot load package p3 dll

Read Answer Below.......

When I get to the final step (or at least I think its the final step b4 burning)I click on burn and it tells me "File "the movie" does not exist, Do you wish to create? Yes or No so I click on yes and another page pops up and this is what it tells me when I click on start "Can't Load P3Package.dll" what am I doing wrong I tried to go by the steps in the VCDHelp section??????? btw I have to use TMPGEnc cuz when I used Nero it made my files play upside down on my DVD player.

Well you should only get this error if all the Files that came with Tmpgenc are not in the same folder, you cant just have all the files sitting on your desktop...And if all the files are in the same folder then look in that folder and look for a File called "P3P Package.DLL" if it isn"t there then that is what your problem is, but if it is there you can try to Copy & Paste the file into the "System" directory and if that don"t work then download Tmpgenc again and if that don"t work you are SOL....

Well, I uninstalled TMPG and reinstalled it, and it finally worked and to top that off after I burned my mpeg file to a vcd it finally played rightside up(that was my problem all along, first vcd played upside down). Thanks for the info.

Hi,

I wan't to convert an AVI (Xvid) which has 5 audio channels Dolby
Surround to SVCD. I seems impossible to rip of a two channel WAV
file to be the input file in TMPGenc. It would be nice if you can
encode the Dolby surround channels but stereo will do. Please help.

Thanks,

Marc

You need an Ac3 decoder such as AVImux which can decode the audio to another format such as a wav or Ac3dec which handles Ac3 and Vob files and encodes to wav.

Loads of thanks again ASHY.

I USED TMPG TO SPLIT A MPG FILE THE FIRST PART CAME OUT AS A MASTER SPLITTER FILE WHICH I CONVERTED BACK TO MPEG AND IT WORKED BUT THE SECOND PART CAME OUT AS A MPG.002 FILE AND I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH IT ANY SUGGESTIONS?

sounds like u used hjsplit to split your mpg not tmpgenc

What is a "Master Splitter File"??and Explain your problem in more detail...

I think it's the first part of a set of split volumes which you need to join the volumes back together as one file. Such as like the split files Winrar creates.

After a good time of verry good running tmpgenc is not working anny more by various file's (mpeg) I want to looad. Also an other program (vcdeasy) does't work annymore. PLEASE HELP

Whaat semms to bee tthe probblm. Wee nedd moore infoo.

I have a suggestion to make to get much more people to use your software : making the software have translations !

Your program should provide the option to adapt its Interface to the native language of the user. You can use language files to change the language. You can ask the internet community to translate the program to their native language, they would simply take the English Language file (a simple text file), open it and translate every string in this file.

You just need to make the program use a separate (or not separated) text file to get all the text strings of the interface of the program, and then let the user choose the language in an option menu, or even better detect the language
settings of the computer automatically.

Many programs on the internet now make their program more use-friendly by translating it into the native languages of the users, here are some of them : Abiword (www.abisource.com), Adaware (www.lavasoftusa.com), Cdex (cdexos.sourceforge.net), Leechget (www.leechget.de), LupasRename (go.to/lupas2000), XnView (www.xnview.com), ...


I hope you will apreciate this suggestion

Could you please tell me if there is a method of encoding an mpeg2 file to incorporate Dolby 5.1 or DTS sound instead of stereo???
Thanks

Not unless you are creating a DVD. SVCD and VCD does not support this type of audio.

Hello friends,
Now I have the trouble as follow:
I have Mpeg2 encoded by LSX MPEG Adobe Premiere plugin, and want to burn widescreen dics. My video is 2hrs long. My Source is 16:9 resolution. I exported to 16:9 Mpeg2 file but when I test to playback in WinDVD, it's just full screen not widescreen as I want (must have the black bar on the top and the bottom)although I adjust some options to see widescreen on this player. I don't know why ?

Now I use DVDiT PE to burn but when I select make DVD dics, immediatelly the screen of movie stretch to full screen, not keep the same size as when I import it.
I have Ulead DVD Workshop is good but I don't see it make dics widescreen. If you have any advice, please teach me more about this ulead.
I don't understand much about widescreen anamorph and widescreen letterboxed, but I WANT THE WIDESCREEN WITH BLACK BAR ON THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM. If possible, please explain to me. Thanks for this.

If anyone can help give me a way to get out of my above troubles, I am much grateful.
Any advice or idea appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

Thuydinh,

You need a authoring Program that supports 16:9 Widescreen format ..the Ulead DVD Workshop 1.0" did not do Widescreen movies but the new 1.2 and 1.3 versions do recognize Widescreen format...So upgrade to the 1.2 version and you problem should be solved....

Thanks for your guide and I'll do it.

Thuydinh,

WinDVD 3.0 (and probably earlier) does not recognize the 16:9 flag on mpeg file playback.

Version 4.0 works.

Also note that if you trim the beginning of a title in Ulead DVD Workshop, the 16:9 flag is lost.

A program called ReStream can be used to check and toggle the 16:9 flag on demuxed video stream files smaller than 2GB.

You Can also Use "DVD Patcher" to Patch a New 16:9 Flag on the file and you can get it to put the flag at the begining of each GOP....

i tried to convert an avi file to mpeg using the video cd ntsc format. When it completed encoding it had sound but no video. I had the setting set to system with video and audio. Not sure why my video is not converting. do i need to convert the pal to ntsc first? All the avi files i have downloaded seem to be pal when the wizard picks them up. How can i find out if they are pal without using the wizard? I have yet to create a vcd. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pal video has a fps (Frames Per Second) of 25 where if the video source is NTSC the fps will be 29,97 or 23,976.

As to your problem with sound and no picture, I have no idea as I am experiencing this problem to.

Yes..Pal are 25fps,NTSC Film is 23.9/24 and NTSC is 29.9/30..If the file is say 25fps Pal then you have to encode it as a Pal movie or use a seperate program to convert it to NTSC..Tmpgenc does not do proper Pal/NTSC Conversions so you will get Jumpy playback and the audio will go out of sync...You can use AVISynth to Do the conversion and frame serve the file to Tmpgenc, other programs that are good at Pal/Ntsc conversions are Canopus ProCoder and Advanced NTSC/Pal converter...

I purchased TMPEG Plus last night thinking I would be able to use the full version right away, since my trial version is now expired. I have yet to recieve acknowledgement of payment or my serial number. I really respect what this program does, but am I the only one who finds this out of line? I have sent 2 emails questioning what is going on and have yet to recieve a reply. I would hate to action against this company, but if I don't recieve what I already payed for and was under the impressions I would recieve "shortly"...I will be forced to.

So I guess my question is...how long did all of you have to wait to get your serial number?

This is getting ridiculous.
