I have a strange Problem.
Recently i installed Tmpgenc 2.59 und try to convert divX5 to SVCD (2 CD'S).

But the 4th window shows an estimated Filesize of 3 gig (400 % of an 700 MCB cd).
I can increase the average bitrate but not lower it, even in expert settings, the bitrate i.e. 800 isn't shown there it stays at 1600.
Can anybody explain why it isn't imposiible to lower the Bitrate?
ciao I

First off Don"t nescessarily Believe what Tmpgenc says the final file size is going to be Cuz It doesn"t seem that it is very accurate..Use a Bitrate Calculator...If you are trying to Lower the Bitrate down to 800kbs(Much to low unless you like Crappy Quality) you will need to Load the "Unlock.Mfc" Template from the Extra Folder then all the settings will be unlocked...at 1600KBS you should be able to Fit about "One Hour" of SVCD on a 700mb(800mb) CD-R with OK Quality, But if you lower it any more than that the Quality will get progressivly Worse and at 800kbs the Video will be hardly recognizeable as the movie you encoded...

Hi minion,
that's what I want to know, some times ago, I installed a previos release of tmpgenc and there I could reduce the bitrate as I need.
And now I thought I missed an option something like this.

thnks a lot.

Hi, I'm trying to use tmpgenc to encode an avi into mpeg, I've never had problems with doing this before, but now when I try and do it, after doing the first few frames it brings up a dialog box, that says error, and a couple of random numbers, eg 1 10016 or, 22556 3345772 if I click ok, it brings up another box with a different number after a few more seconds, whats going on? and can I change something to stop this? At the moment I'm just using the default settings to turn it into a pal SVCD.

change from progressive to interlace or vice versa...

I keep hearing this can be done and looking inside this BBS for two day and could not find anything. Please Help!

Thanks.

Just burn it as it is as a VCD. It will fit because an 80min VCD will fit 800mb.

You Might NOT Be able to Fit 83 minutes on a CD-R..Try to enable Overburning if Possoble..I have been able to burn 825mb with Overburning useing VCDEasy...But that is the most I have been able to burn On TDK Cd-R"s...

Sory...781mb will easily fit on a CD-R....

Thanks

If You Want More Room, Look On Ebay. You Can Buy 90Min. Cdr's For Dirt Cheap. I've Bought A Couple Of Hundred Of Them, And They Work Great. Just Make Sure That You Use "Nero" And That Your CD-Burner Can Read The 90-Min CDR.You Have To Do An Overburn And Use "Disc-At-Once" Setting. Just Remember This, Because You Must Overburn When Going Over Past The "79:59 Min Mark.
Good Luck!

This is risky because a lot of burners don't support those disks.

When I am encoding a movie with Tmpgenc Plus and I am using the 2 pass mode
on about half of the movies when it gets to 50 percent it stops and gives
invalid pointer error and once it gave error 65534 65536?
I am using a pentium 4 with 768 RDRAM and windows XP. Can someone help ?

Problems with AVI files.

I have been using Tmpgenc to encode AVI files captured from my SONY camcorder. I have been using Windows Video Maker to capture the DV. This has all been working well until I installed DVD2SVCD.

Tmpgenc no longer recognises AVI files that have been rendered within Windows Video Maker. If I render the AVI files within VideoStudio then Tmpgenc will recognise the file and encode.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Try using avisynth and frameserve it to TMPGEnc.

What settings are you guys using to encode avi files to mpeg2?
I'm trying to encode some stuff that was shot in DV (NTSC). It's about 15 minutes in length. I was also curious about TMPG's VBR capabilities. I tried a couple test encoding but the resulting file was horrible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

When I use the merge&cut window to cut a scene from a vob, the output file is video only. During cutting I see only [producing video stream, multiplexinbg, writing header] no audio messages.

I choose mpeg2 prg stream as the type and the input vob plays aud and vid in power dvd. Renaming the vob to .mpg has no effect :(

Any-one know what I am doing wrong?

Because the Merge&cut feature doesn't handle Ac3 audio.

ASHY

You Shouldn"t edit VOB files from Ripped DVD"s with Tmpgenc anyways.....

What should I be using to cut/edit vobs?

I don't want to file spilt on file size, rather in number of seconds.
vobedit sounded like a good idea but it just seems to show a list of packets in the stream. I tried some other tools but nothing seems to work completely..

Just being able to say, cut the file at 1h2min3sec would be good enough.

Well you might try the newest version of "Womble Mpeg2VCR" it supports AC3 audio But you should strip out any Subtitle tracks or extra Video tracks and try to only keep the audio stream you want...But if you are going to encode these VOB files to make a VCD/SVCD/DVD then you shouldn"t encode the VOB files directly But frame serve them with DVD2AVI...

I would like to know if to multiplex directly one m1v or m2v with a wav is possible with the new version and the way in which I have to get it.

Thanks, I'm sorry, but my English is not good.

NO...You can not Mux Wav audio with Mpeg with Tmpgenc Or many other programs..Some Very high end DVD Authoring programs can do this But not Tmpgenc, and Wav audio will only work with DVD"s...

Please help Thanks

Hi, I have just created my first DVD and have run into one problem. When I play the DVD in my standalone player (Panasonic DVD-RV32) the video looks a little weird.

In 1 part of the image throughout the whole video there is about a 1 inch thick vertical distortion going from top to bottom on the TV in the middle of the right half of the screen (21in TV), the actual distortion is like the video is in a lower resolution and looks slightly pixellated. When I encoded the video with TMPGEnc Plus 2.58 I used the 'DVD(PAL)' Template.

I only unlocked the 'Aspect Ratio' under the 'Video' Tab and changed it to 16:9 becuase I thought this is within the DVD Standard (Yes the source is in 16:9)

When I leave it as 'Aspect Ratio' of 4:3 it works fine.
Also the video plays perfectly on the computer.

I can't see why I can't use 16:9 because It is part of the DVD Standard. So is it my player or TMPGEnc?

I also just tried another Encoder and it still plays bad on the Standalone DVD Player, but all my DVD movies work and they're all in Widescreen, so how can it be my DVD Player?

..........HELP!!!!! Thanks

The 16:9 or 4:3 setting is determined by the source material.

If 4:3 plays fine on a computer (I assume in a 4:3 window) then that is the setting to use. You would know your material is truly 16:9 if it looked squashed horizontally when played in a 4:3 window. This is anamorphic video.

When you use the 16:9 setting you are embedding instructions in the stream to tell settop DVD players to letterbox the material on 4:3 TVs. This is no good if the material is not anamorphic. (Players connected to 16:9 TVs are set to ignore this instuction and let the display expand the picture horizontally.)

The distortion sounds like some more fundamental problem, like NTSC instead of PAL, or the wrong number of H or V pixels. Use Bitrate calculator to check for 720x576 PAL.

It might not be working Cuz Not all Authoring programs support 16:9 Aspect ratio..And 16:9 won"t look very good on a Regular TV Cuz a Regular TV is 4:3 so you get a lot of the sides of the screen will be Cut off, unless you have a Widescreen TV.....
