I own TMPGEnc MPEG Editor, and have successfully used it to edit HDV files. It input the HD MPGE2 transport stream files from my Sony HD camcorder, edit them, then create HD MPEG2 program stream files with a minimum of re-encoding. However, I don't see this capability in your list of features - did TMPGEnc MPEG Editor create my HD MPEG2 program stream files correctly but you just don't advertise this feature, or are these files corrupted in some way?

Note that TSUNAMI MPEG Media Editor does make it clear that it supports HDV files, and will save them to HD MPEG2 program streams. Is the TMPGEnc MPEG Editor exactly the same product without the box, so it works in exactly the same way.

And why isn't the TSUNAMI MPEG Media Editor available for download?

can i get screen caps with this program??

thanks in advance

Yes.
Load the source, set the resolution you wish to capture at then click File>preview then move to the frame you want and right click on it and select 'copy to clipboard'.
Paste into any image program.

I use TMPEnc Plus 2.5 and it was running ok for several months.
But now, when I start encoding a movie, when the progress bar reaches 100%, it stop and freeze. I have to force quit the application. And the resultin mpeg file runs without any audio.
I have unistalled TMPGenc and re-installed it again, but the problem remains.
What is the problem here?

Just leave it. You need to give it time to write the headers. Go and have a coffee or somthing as it can take a while with some files.
Either way that won't be the reason you have no sound, that is another problem. Probably aa source that TMPG can't decode such as AC3 or sometimes even VBR Mp3.

But the source file I was using is a Quicktime movie, with the same codec I always use for years. In the past I had no problem at all.
I had never to wait too long for the application write the headers.
It is a strange sintom.

I want to record some tv programs and then convert to pal DVD to send to family in italy.
If I captured in mpeg 2 I got an error message, so I tried mpedg vcd and it converts it, but to two files .. a m2v and a wav. I don;t what i will do with 2 files.

Using wintv 2000 on a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150 to capture.

Anysuggestion will be appreciated.

Cange the audio output to MP2 instead of PCM.

For some reason when I convert rm to mpg I get the video but no audio. Does anyone know why?

I had the same problem the first time. Did you ever solve the problem ?


Thanks,

TMPG is unable to decode RM audio. You will need to convert the audio to wav first.

Well,
That's fine, but the movie is one avi file. Can I pull the audio out ?

use goldwave then save audio as wav or mp3 then multiplex it in tmpgenc with your rm video already converted to m1v
:)

any other softwares to convert RM audio file? not so familiar with Goldwave...

Hello...Is there a way to easily add all mpeg files in various subfolders to a batch project? I have a folder with many subfolders containing mpeg files and the only way i can figure out how to add them to a batch project is one by one which is very tedious. Any help would be appreciated :)

I'm trying to determine if I have the highest possible encoding TMPgenc settings for a DVD sold on the internet. How can I find this information?
Thanks.

I have been a happy TMPEG user for several years now, and recently experienced a very strange problem.

I make VCD's/DVD typical and I've never had any problems, however I recently updated TMPEG to the latest version and now it is misreading my AVI files length. For example, an avi that is 30 minutes long, it was think it's 90 minutes long, it is always misreading by approximately 3 times the length. This of course causes problems because the output file is 3 times bigger than it needs to be.

Any help would be appreciated.

'Directshow file reader' priority to 2 in the VFAPI plugins.

I was getting the 3x file issue, and also my files had no audio.

This advice sorted the 3x issue (I was working around this by selecting all but the last couple of seconds of the clip to encode) and also the audio! Thanks very much for a great product.

I am using Tmpgenc Autor for about 2 years an have had only the problem with two audio streams and 16:9 menues. So I have bought the PRO version. But this program is so very slowly you will get nuts. (I have a Pentium IV 3Ghz 512Mb) The video display is not able to play the movie in realtime. Every 10 sec. an errormessage ->the audiodelay ....<-

I'm new to TMPG. I have a dvd quality avi file, 90mins/20Gb, converting to mpeg-2. I load the DVD(NTSC) template, no problem. However,the rendering time is approx. 30 hours.

Is this to be expected?

System:

P4 2.53GHz; 8kb/512kb mem.cache
1Gb Ram
120 hdd (80Gb free)

Depends on whether you are reading and writing to the same HD or not.
If you are then that's half of your problem. A 20gb AVI is massive and will require a fair bit of memory resources too.

I would download and install FFDShow then go into the config settings and enable Raw AVI decoding. It should speed it up.
Also set the 'Motion search precision' in TMPG to 'motion estimnate search' No need for anything else as the AVI is of high quality anyway.

If you are using any filters in TMPG then disable them.
an AVI to MPEG2 should take 4-5 hours on your system.

Thanks Ashy!

I have my avi files on an ext. hdd via usb and the output file to Cdrive. After applying config. chgs to TMPG alone, rendering time dropped from 39+ hrs to 2+ hrs.

Thank you, again.

ps.
Ashy,how did you learn so much about this app? Since, it doesn't seem to have documentation. Or is this just your field of expertise?
Do you know of any free online tutorial for av editing? I'd like to learn more to have better understanding.

I have used TMPG for many years and gaimed most of what I know by experience. If you download TMPGenc plus you will get a manual with it.
An excellant site for video creation with lots of TMPG tutorials is http://www.videohelp.com/

1) I've tried to re-encode a number of wmv files into avi's. The output auido I set as a CBR 128kb/s mp3 using Lame encoder.
For some reason the result was not mp3 but avi audio (according to G-Spot). Therefore, a stand alone divx player didn't give me any audio. It worked fine with another software but not TMPGEnc.

2) While trying to convert some mpeg files, it gets stuck on one frame but the audio goes on as normal. I noticed that it usually happens when the scene changes. In that case I have to use TMPGEnc free version 2.56 or 2.59, nothing else works, re-encode the same file into a new mpeg, and right after that XPress processes a file. Once again, another software handles those problem mpegs from the first try.

3) Xpress does not recognize some videos with ac3 sounds. Version 2.56 has no this problem.

Thanks for any help.

I have been successful previously converting wave files and I believe AVI but now in trying to convert an AVI file I get error msg that Can't Load P3Package.dll. My folder is showing this .dll file. I tried to redownload TMPGEnc to no avail. Any help greatly appreciated.

Extract all files of the zipfile to a specified folder. Then run the .exe file. This should do the trick.

Why people think they can run programs from a zip file or just extract the .exe from the folder and the run the program is beyond me. All those other files in the folder are just for show I suppose....

Since it originally worked...Did you drag the .exe file out to the desktop? I did and mine quit working. Drag it back in to wherever you extracted the file to and it will work again. Classic case of knowing enough to be dangerous...
