converted a avi to mpeg, no sound, used avi2wav for sound and then tried to convert them together, but the end result was that sound was out of shync with the movie by a few seconds, how do i get round this???
When I am rendering VCD and SVCD, I can choose VBR or CBR. Which one has a better quality when I play it back? Is there any other consideration for these like file size or encoding time?
Everytime I go to encode some avi files that I downloaded all I get is a black screen. I'm having a lot of trouble with this, other programs say they dont recognise the file or that an error occurs in encoding, this program encodes, but with - no video or audio -! please help!
First you have to make sure you have the correct Codec installed, and if there is No Image in the Tmpgenc window while encodeing then there will be no Image in the File..Try This, Go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct Show Multi-Media File Reader" to "2" and see if that helps with the Video, But if you get no audio you probably need to First extract the audio to Wav format from the Source file with Something like "Virtual Dub" or "AVI-Mux" then use the WAV file as the audio source...
I tried to make a DVD using TMPGEnc. I choiced in the wizzard DVD and the mv2 and wav- files were made. Then I used IFOEDIT. The result was that the video speed was too fast.
I use Dazzle to convert my files and build a DVD. Once loaded you can play the movie within Dazzle. You might try this to check the sound sync. I've built and burned several this way with no problems on my Pioneer DVR-105.
mv2-file runs well. It seems to be a problem of the bitrate. If I change the bitrate in the TMPGEnc DVD-template to "constant bitrate" the DVD made by IFOEdit is okay.
I just encoded a DVD video with TMPGenc and when I played it I noticed that all the fades are missing. At the location where there is supposed to be a fade, there is just black video. Everything else works fine though, any clues as to what I might be doing wrong? I'm using the Premiere 6.0 trial version and a frame server (Premiere Video Server) to serve to TMPGEnc. My sources are miniDV tapes in PAL format.
I also tried encoding into DivX using the same setup (Premiere, Frameserver) and then the problem does not exist, so I think it must be TMPGEnc that is stuffing up.
Any help is appreciated! If you want to email me, remove the underscore from the email address :)
Just trying to compare time to convert a 300MB .avi file to Mpeg-2 in
TMPGenc. I am running XP 2100 Athlon with 768 Meg of ram and it is taking a good 2.5 to 3 hours plus to encode this. Is this about right.
Any inputs would be appreciated. I am using normal settings for the most part with a few HQ on some.
I'm trying to fit a large (hour & 1/2) MPEG-2 file onto a regular 4.7 DVD-R. I understand there are compression programs that can do this and not lose much quality - can anybody steer me in the right direction? Thank you in advance!
Yes there is Software for this, And What a Coincidence you just happened to Ask your Question on the Very BBS of a Program that Does that, Now what are the Chances of that? Must be one in a Million!!!

It does Not Matter how Big the AVI File is, it could be 300mb or 3000GB ,That isn"t how Encodeing to Mpeg works, What Matters is How Long the Movie is, and the Resolution of the Output file and Filters used and a Few other things But Generally the Length of the Source file, and what the Source file is Compressed to....Uncompressed AVI will encode Much faster than than Say DiVX or HuffyUV...
I am a DIY with tight budget. I would like to upgrade my PC. TMpgEnc is one of my most important things for this PC. So I would like to maxmize it work. My PC now is athlon xp 2000+, PC2100 256M, 60G 7200RPM ATA100, MSI KT3Ultra2, ATI Radeon 8500LE, Windows 2000 Pro.
So which part should I upgrade mostly to improve the performance of TMpgEnc?
Can anyone give me some ideas about how the TMpgEnc comsume the resourse? Which part of PC is most crucial to its performance.
If you Just want Faster encodeing then it would be the CPU that you would Upgrade and next would be Ram, But you allready have a Fairly fast CPU so Maybe you can try a Faster encoder like CCE for Mpeg2 and Maybe MainConcept for Mpeg1.I can do a 2 hour SVCD in Under 2 hours with CCE on my 1.7ghz Intel but Tmpgenc Does have Many More features and is More versitile...
Does the SVCD file rendered in CCE have the similar quality as one yielded in TMpgEnc? I was told TmpgEnc gave the highest quality. I would like to have the high quality.
Yes, CCE is a Better Mpeg2 encoder and it is Extremely Fast,But it Lacks the Features that Tmpgenc has Like it does not have the Choice of filters that Tmpgenc has and in Most cases you have to frame serve the Files to CCE because it does not re-size the resolution, and CCE is 40 times more expensive but the Quality is extremely good and it supports up to 9 pass encodeing and it produces very good Quality at low bitrates....
There are 3 or 4 ways to Frame serve to CCE, if you are Ripping a DVD or encodeing a Mpeg2 file to Mpeg with CCE I use DVD2AVI then use AVISynth to frame serve the D2V files to CCE, you can Use Gordain Knot as a Front end for AVISynth if you don"t know how to write AVISynth Scripts..And you can use Virtual Dub to frameserve AVI files to CCE and there are a couple Versions of Virtual Dub that will accept Mpeg2/Vob files to frameserve to CCE..And there is a Way to use Tmpgenc and Vfapi converter to Frame serve any format that Tmpgenc will accept to CCE..All Methods work very well But AVISynth is the Fastest way to do it...
I have recently formated and freshly installed win xp pro as my second operating system but in enviromental settings under vfapi i dont see the option for the ligos mpeg2 decoder anymore, do i have install a certain codec to see this option.
How for instance Do you rip a movie from DVD to MPG is that difficult??
Mail me a.koning14@chello.nl
And don't forget we need subtitles for the public in Holland or some people won't know what there talking about!
Whe need MPG because our standalone DVD-players play it all as VCD or SVCD.
I hoop i hear from you.
I'd start with searching the site WWW.DVDRHELP.COM. They have good tutorials there. Once started come back and you will be able to ask more specific questions to what you are trying to do.
