Find out what Codec the avi file is and get that Codec.and raise the "Direct Show" to "2".If that doesn"t work then the AVI file could be corrupted..I downloaded 3 different Versions Of a Movie called 8 Mile last night off Kazaa and every one of them was Corrupted...
I am using TMPGEnc, the latest on this web. I am into a lot of basic video editing basically correction of mpgs' movies. I have a few questions to fully utilise TMPGEnc.
1) How do I use the Cut function in TMPGEnc? I only know how to Merge them.
2) What is Simple Multiplex, Simple De-Mutliplex, Multiplex, Demultiplex and demux.
3) I converted a .rm video clip to mpeg and now the sound is out of sync with the video (either video or sound is slow). Can I use TMPGEnc to correct the whole thing and how do I go about doing it.
To use the Cut function you just load in the file, Click "edit" then choose the in and out points and that is Basicly it..Multiplexing is the joining or audio and video streams and De-Multiplexing is the seperation of audio and video streams...You said that you encoded a RM file to mpeg with tmpgenc But the file Must not have been a RM file Cuz Tmpgenc Has Never Supported RM files cuz RM is Not a "Direct Show" Or "Video for Windows" format so can not be encoded By Tmpgenc....
While converting a AVI movie into MPEG it stops at 54% and keep getting " Illegal floating decimal point calculation order". Can any tell me what that means and how do I correct it? Your help is greatly appreciated.. Pete
This error is usually Caused By the AVI file being Corrupted..It is Quite common with Downloaded AVI files..The only thing you can do is go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "CPU" and UN-Check the "SSE & SSE-2" Boxes..then go to the regular Settings to "Quantize Matrix" and Un-Check the "Use Floating Point DCT"..Now you shouldn"t get the error But the encodeing will Take a Really long time Cuz you wount be utilizeing the SSE optimizations of your CPU...
I got rid of it by changing the min bitrate value in CQ settings, it seems that some values will make it display 'Illegal floating decimal point calculation order' error message. If I set it to 10 I get the error almost direct, but with 50 it encodes the avi without any problem,
You CANT encode Real Media Files to mpeg with tmpgenc Or pretty much any program...There is a program called EO-Video that will encode RM to Mpeg1 But the Quality isn"t very good with this encoder..You would be better off useing a program called "Tinra" to encode the RM files to AVI then encode the AVI to mpeg with Tmpgenc....
I hav a project with about 4 minutes of video that is broken into segments.
Each segment has text overlayed.
When I play it to tape and watch it, everything looks fine.
When I create an mpg the text is awful. It breaks up in some places, little fuzzy in other places.
Why is this? Why doesn't the text hold together? The video looks fine. Even the text that is part of the video looks fine (signs on doors, etc) but any overlaid text is terrible.
How can I overcome this?

Frame Rate: 29:97
Rate Control: Constant Quality
Motion Search: High
The aim is to convert VHS tape to VCD..I have BELKIN capture hardware called VideoBus II (USB) and Windows Moviemaker and also a software called DVD Copy plus which contains TMPGENC software..The problem is the moviemaker gives out a file in WMV format only..Can TMPGENC convert the WMV to MPEG ? If so how? Once I have the MPEG file I can burn it to VCD using the PowerCDR inside the DVD copy plus..Thanks for a reply
So you got suckered into buying that DVD scam software called DVD Copy plus.
Why are you using Movie maker. Use a proper capture program such as IUVCR or Virtualdub and if you have the space, capture to uncompressed frames for highest quality or use the Huffyuv codec. If you dont have the space then you could capture to MPEG4 or MJPEG. All these formats will load into TMPG.
As for burning MPEGs to VCD, you would better better advised to use NERO.
Matt,
you can also save as avi file from Movie Maker, then convert to mpg using TMPG. My problem here is that clips, created by movei maker, are not recognized anymore in the mpg file...
Let me know when you find a solution.
Cheers, Holger
I have been using tmpgenc quite a bit and it works pretty good but now I have a new problem. I have a movie that is suppose to be a divx/avi movie but I can not load it into tmpgenc because it is at a framerate of 14.985. I used virtualdub to convert it to 29.970 and then I loaded it into the tmpgenc but the final product had correct sound but the video played back at about twice the speed it should. How do I correct this problem?
Well obviously it's going to play at twice the speed, you have doubled the framerate!
Load the original 14.985 fps AVI into TMPG and choose the framerate option - '14.985 fps(internally 29.97 fps)' under Setting>Video where it says 'Framerate'
This will convert the AVI to the correct framerate for you when you encode.
Hi. I've got an unusual problem. I am using TMPG (free) on the Japanese version of Win98. In response to this, TMPG automatically sets itself up with Japanese menus. There seems to be no way to change this. I've looked at all the settings and scanned the .ini file as well, but I can find nothing.
It's not a big problem as I can handle Japanese pretty well, but it is a bit of a pain as it's not my native language. Is there any way to force TMPG to use English, or at least provide me with a choice of languages?
Multiplexing means to combine 2 or more streams of video and audio into a single stream. Generally, it means to combine multiple single signals into a one without loosing the ability to demux them.
