I'm using TmpgEnc v2.58 to convert AVI file ( Divx ) to Mpg file ( VCD ).
It' s a very good software. But i've a little problem with an AVI file.
When I look the movie in windows media player it's Ok. After encoding, when i look the Mpg file ( in windows media player or with BsPlayer ) the Movie freeze and the sound continue normally !!! Strange isn't it !!!
I found the problem the AVI have some frames corrupted. The player can read, But TmpgEnc can't encode correctly and freeze the picture just before the corrupted frame and freeze.
I correct the problem with AVIedit to encode a new time the avi file ( with the same parameters ). Now, TmpgEnc work correctly.
This experience say me that the software like DivFix ( to repair corrupted avi file) doesn't work efficiently, Better work is encode the file a new time.
So, I hope that this experience can be of use to the other users of TmpgEnc
I am trying to convert still jpg pics to mpeg, everything works fine except the audio plays for the full duration and the picture just flashes for a second? Any help would be appreciated...
What do you mean it Just flashes for a Second??One image or Jpeg Picture is Only 1 frame so it will only appear for a 1/24th of a second, you will need at least 24 Jpeg pics to make a Second of Movie with the Frame rate set at 24fps...What you should try is to set the Frame rate to "1fps/24fps Internally" this will make a single Jpeg appear as 1 second of of Movie....
Could you make it to where tmpgenc can do the 2 pass at different times? for instance set up to save the info from the first pass to a file and then at a later time load the file to do the second pass.
I've got about 120GB of video that I'm finally getting around to writing to VCD. I'm trying TMPGEnc for the first time and it seems to work really well. I've been able to make 3 VCD's.
However it is very time consuming. I have to go through and manually select each source file and then manually change the target directory. Manually Clicking on each screen as it comes up. Needless to say this is taking a lot of time.
Is there a way to just select a source and target directory and tell it once what format I want?
For some reasin, when editing video in TMPG, the video speeds up as I clip later into the file. The Output is fine (input and output play without problems in everything) but it makes editing the files very very difficult. Is there any reason why this would happen. This problem has only just began to happen. It never was an issue before. I tried to upgrade to 2.59, but still the problem exists. Anyone have any explanations as to why this would happen??
I am new to this software, and this forum, so please forgive me. Here's my problem. First my setup:
Using a 2Ghz Pentium 4M
512 MB Memory
40GB free drive space
I first use Dvd2svcd to decode a dvd, then dvd2svcd deals with audio, then besweet, then dvd2svcd fires up TMPGEnc and begins it's process. It creates the test file fine, looks great. The problem begins when after it creates the test file it says time to complete will be 6.5 hours. So after 6.5 hours of processing something (I dunno what!), it starts processing again, this time says it will take 60 hours or so to complete. The DVD I'm playing with is only a 2 hour movie, so I'm quite sure this must be wrong. What am I doing wrong?!?
It sounds Like you might have tmpgenc set for Multi-Pass encodeing..with multi-pass it does a Full scan of the file then it starts over and then does the encodeing..but it shouldn"t take 60 hours...Maybe try useing The CQ encodeing method, it is Just as good as the Multi-pass On good source files and is Twice as Quick.and Don"t use the "Highest Quality" setting Cuz it doesn"t really help But it does Take a lot longer to encode, the High Quality setting will give the same Quality with half the time...
I have a question
When I am converting my VOB file to mpeg, i don't hear the sound after the conversion takes place. the video is just fine but no sound
anyone know what to do?
please help, thanks
Use DVD2AVi and open the VOBs. Then use save project to save. This should take 5 - 10 min depending on the size of the film. Once the project is saved, use TMPGEnc to convert the saved project (d2v). Use the d2v file for video source and ac3 file for audio source. Make sure you check System(Video + Audio).
Well you are obviously using an older version than 2.57 and have an Ac3 filter installed which is allowing TMPG to decode the Ac3 stream, but this will not work with the current versions because the way TMPG uses filters has changed.
Also the the audio will not be properly downmixed. DVD2AVI downmixes the 5.1 channels in the Ac3 to a Dolby Prologic compatible Wav. The Ac3 filter you are using with TMPG probably will not and you will simply end up with plain 2 channel stereo which means your audio is suffering.
