I'm using 2.56 Plus now, and have heard 2.59 has a couple of bugs that I'd like to have fixed before I use it.

Is there ANY way for a paid user to get 2.58 now?

Hello Joe,

By using a search engine such as google you can find a lot of sites that have 2.58 available for downloading. For instance try:

http://www.winload.de/download/15373/Video/TMPGEnc-2.58.html

or

http://www.winload.de/download2.php?subid=a31a28895cdd96acf3f299f107c86d12&programm_id=15373

Yes, it's in German but if you READ and LOOK around, you'll figure out what to click on to download the file. Best that I could in a 1 minute search.

Seasons Greetings.

thank you for those links, but they are for the free trial versions.

everytime I've tried those, there is no place for me to enter my license no and get the Mpeg-2 use past 30 days.

Do you know of a place to get the Plus versions, please?

I have the 2.58 plus version. Now I am concerned as I have reading about issues with 2.59 related to bitrates and file sizes but have used it with no real issues that I can see since its release.

Hello. I am encoding some files to make into a VCD. In the past, the movies come out fuzzy(but it is still clear) when it appears on the TV. How do you increase the quality when encoding files? If you can, please explain to me about the motion search precision option because I don't get it. Currently, I have it on "Highest Quality (Very Slow)" but it will take me 4 hours and 20 minutes! Is there another way that has good quality and is fast?

I cannot open mov files for TMPGEnc. I downloaded the plugin, and the directions say to copy it to the TMPGEnc folder, i tried it, but i still get the error of "can not be open, or unsuported". please someone help me.

Go to "Options" to "enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and see if the Mov Plugin is listed in the Plugin List..and if it isn"t then it wasn"t installed properly and if it is there then try raiseing it"s priority....

When I Enable multiplex with "mux://", but i don't mux a Audio-File (thus my Audio Source File begins not with "mux://": it's a normal WAV-File), then the Video-File will be not supported...
Even if i choose "Video only" (ES or System) the error a appears.
Only if i empty the AudioSource-inputfield TMPGenc would work or i use the "mux://" Feature...

I'm a relative novice with TMPGEnc, so forgive me if these basic questions.

We've been using version beta 12a for about a year now to create MPEG-1 clips, exporting a timeline from Adobe Premiere (6.0) with Avisynth (v0.28 beta 36), making an AVS file that TMPGnc then turns into an MPEG. All has been well until recently, when a client was unable to play our clips on their computer. Some discussion with an associate led us to the realization that the client's computer didn't have the codec to play the MPEGs created with TMPGEnc (or at least the version we had). I just downloaded the latest version this week (Version 2.59.47.155), and have started to play around with it a little.

1) Is there a way to choose the codec TMPGEnc uses to make an MPEG?
2) If not, what is the codec that TMPGEnc uses?

TMPG doesn't use any codecs for encoding to MPEG1. The MPEG1 encoding algorithm is built in. Also MPEG1 is MPEG1, no matter which encoder has made the MPEG.

If it isn't playing on your clients PC then either the operating system doesn't support it by having the correct player installed, such as Windows media player which has native support for MPEG1 files, or the MPEG has a problem.

It is more likely your client needs to upgrade his player to support MPEG1 playback. There is no particular codec to use or install.

hi guys !

i am having problems in encoding process. each time i try doing so a popup would come up saying that it "can't load P3Package.dll"
the audio file is extracted for the divx file to a wav file
please rep asap.
thanks !

This is error is caused By you not haveing all of the Tmpgenc Files in the same folder....All the Files that Come with Tmpgenc Have to be in the same folder, and one of those files has to be the "P3P Package.dll" file..You can"t have any of the files sitting on your desktop or as a Shortcut....

As a paid user, I am considering upgrading from the version that I originally purchased(version 2.56) to the current 2.59.

BUT, in case I haven't found the right Mpeg-2 encoder, I DON'T want to lose the use of my 2.56 that doesn't require one.

Can I get 2.59 Plus, without overwriting my 2.56 that works well for me still?

2.56 will work with any other version installed. If you are using the MPEG2 feature of 2.56 then you must have the serial which will also work with all other versions including 2.59.

ASHY

Yes, of course I've got my License No.

THAT is not what I'm asking about.

I want to know if I update to 2.59, will I lose my 2.56 version? Will my update overwrite my 2.56 so I will not be able to use my 2.56 anymore.

That's a simple question, isn't it? It's got nothing to do with my License No.

Will it overwrite and make my 2.56(which I want to still use afterwards)gone?

Just install the 2.59 into an other Directory, that's all. You can have ALL Versions of TMPGEnc at the same time (if you like).

OK,
2.58 is the version I really want.

Is there a way to still get 2.58 Plus?

Firstly I don't like your 'cocky' attitude when I'm trying to help you.
Secondly you obviously did not read the reply properly, so I will repeat exactly what I said this time note what it says in my first statement.

2.56 will work with any other version installed. If you are using the MPEG2 feature of 2.56 then you must have the serial which will also work with all other versions including 2.59.

>2.56 will work with any other version installed.
Did you get that bit or was it to hard to comprehend?

ASHY

thank you, Ashy
Please forgive me, I'm not trying to be cocky at all. I'm sincerly sorry if it sounds that way.

Yes, I do have a license. But I'm not finding where I can download 2.58 Plus. Is that still possible?

Apology accepted.

thank you, Ashy

I appreciate your help

I am trying to convert an AVI file to vcd and everytime I try selecting the video source i get a pop up stating it can not open or the file is unsupported any suggestions. The audio file is ok.

What video codec was used in the AVI???

s-mpeg 4 version 3 4cc: mp43

is it possible the Bug with the "mux://" Feature, which I reported?

Try with disabled (unselect) "multiplex with mux://" in EnvironmentalSetting/GeneralSetting

First ensure you have the correct codec installed then goto Options>enviromental setting>VFAPI plugins and raise the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' to '2'

I haven't upgraded since buying TMPGenc Plus when it was version 2.56 because I didn't want to buy additional software to make it work with mpeg-2.

Now I think I'm ready to upgrade to 2.59, but have not had any luck doing it. I downloaded 2.59 from your website download page, but see no place to enter my License No. and keep getting a 30 trial splash screen.

Where and how do people who already have paid for it, get the free upgrades?

Click on the banner at the bottom of this BBS for the Plus version - go to download -....

You are obviously trying to register a Demo version.

Yes, I guess I was. I hadn't tried it there.

That won't overlay the 2.56 version will it?

I don't want to do that. It works well and I'd like to keep it too.

Will I be able to download a separate 2.59 version to use?

THAT is what I'm wanting to do because even though it hasn't had some bug fixes, 2.56 works OK without any additional mpeg-2 encoders(or whatever it is that 2.59 needs) and in case I'm not able to make 2.59 work with the mpeg-2 encoder I'm trying....I'll be stuck, and lose 2.56's use.

I don't want to lose 2.56 by having this overwrite it,...Will it?

NO.

well, that's what it did to a friend of mine..

When he clicked on the TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 Ad on the bottom of the screen, he was taken to a place that enable him to download 2.59.

And when it did, it somehow knew his License No. and shows it in the Help/About screen.

But he can no longer find or use his 2.56 version anymore.

Actually I'd like to use 2.58. PLEASE tell me how to get it in a way that doesn't overwrite my 2.56 if you say that is possible, Please?

Hi! I 've read most of the topics about read error, but stil can't realy understand. I got a new mainboard+proc+ram and after the upgrade TMpgenc generates the read error when converting a movie, even if I convert the same movie, what I did convert fine with the old 733Mhz celeron. Also intresting that my PIII 500Mhz notebook can convert the same movie from the same CD, with the same Tmpgenc version without any problems (exept that it takes 5 hours, instied of 1,5). I reinstalled my operating system, upgraded it to XP, changed some setting in the bios, but no permanent solution. I will check the file-s I'am converting as discribed in the other articles, and will change the DirectShow filters priority and will try everything, but still don't beleive, that the movie would be the problem, since the notebook can convertit it!!! So if you have any comment on that, I would highly approtiate it!!!

Ok so 'virtual dub' to convert the adio into a wav file.(which worked)
Next I converted the avi to mpeg.(mpeg has great quality but has no sound)
what do I need to do now. Do I simply burn the mpeg and the wav file on the same vcd or do I have to do something else?

That's a job for other software. See: www.vcdhelp.com

You should have used the wav file as your audio source in TMPG. You can encode it seperately then multiplex it with your MPEG using the MPEGtools and then burn with Nero using the VCD option.

ASHY

When I try combining the m2v and wav files I get the following message using the tools submenu under file -

"Multiplexing linear PCM stream to System stream is not supported"

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm experiencing problems selecting "source ranges". I think I'm running version 2.59. When moving the slider the screen goes blank and I have to click the close button in the top left of the window which closes the application down. I am running Windows XP. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

i run 2000 and i also get the same problem it does 2 others in there as well like inalid pointer operation, or it just closes when i have finished selecting and hit okay it just sguts down or freezes
