just a note to ashy. don't you think i did a search for the answer to my question, before i posted? my search came back with nothing. happy to hear you know the answers.

I did *ONE* search with the title 'Settings greyed out' and the first line that came up had the answer.
Look below. Next time try harder.

I have been using TMPGEnc for a couple of months now. It is a great program. However I have been experiencing a couple of problems. I have converted and burnt numerous movies using this program. Only thing is some of them work on my DVD player and some do not. Some simply say invalid disc. I can not see what I am doing different on the ones that don't work from the ones that did work. Any advice would be appreciated since I have alot of Harddrive being taken up right now with movies that I can't get working.

i started with an avi file, which i then encoded to mv2/wav. i then use the dvd author tool to create a dvd file structure. burn the disc, and i have no audio on it.

any ideas?

paul

This happens to me all the time.
You may be missing the audio codec needed. Use GSPot.

Most likely though, it just didn't come through.
Try extracting the audio track.
Use Virtual Dub for avis.
Or use TMPGENC go to File/Tools/Demupliplex.
Double click on the audio track to extract and save to disk.
Then when you fo to author click browse to specifically select the extracted audio, thus overriding the audio track loaded by default.

When I trie to convert from avi to svcd the result "hacks".
Managed to convert some movies but then suddenly every time I
try to do a conversion the mpg hacks. It looks somewhat like
when you play a game and the framerate is low. Otherwise
the quality is good.

Anyone?

I have not yet tried to split the audio and video, just using the
wizard with the whole avi. Since it worked fine from the beguinning, i
figured I would continue with that. Will it change anything if I
tried to split them first?

It won't let me open my AVI file. I looked at solution already posted, but it didn't work for me. The file is DivX encoded, does that make a difference? If so, how do I fix it?

Install FFDSHOW.

I have just read the last 5 or 6 posts. Non of these have had a reply.
Almost every single one of these questions has been answered many, many times over before.

I have been a member with this board for a very long time and know the answer to every one of these questions. However Iam sorry to say I'm tired of repeating the same thing day in day out to the same common questions that get asked time and time again especially when the answer is already on this board.

Time permiting I will continue to help out on this board and will try and answer most questions I feel could not be simply solved by a quick search.

If you want to help yourself then use the search function. You WILL find your solution if you persevere.

If you have already tried and made a real effort to find the solution yourself then fair enough, say so in your post and you will more than likely get help.

Hi, I've been using this great program for a couple of years now and love it, but I was wondering whether or not it can help me put a file on "1" cd-r instead of having to make it in 2 parts?

Thanx, victoria

Go to the KVCD site and download one of their templates.
http://www.kvcd.net/

The only problem is that the templates will create a .M1V file without sound. To have a full movie, small but with sound, multiplex the movie with a MPEG-1/2 version of it, choosing, as type, 'MPEG-1/2 ... Non-standard'.
After that, you can delete hte 'dummy' MPEG-1/2 standard, which you can create also with video____'motion search precision = fast' (you'll need it only for audio...).

What...no it won't?

Ofcourse it will have sound, but at a lower bitrate.
How you arrived at that one I don't know.

>the ordinal 3001 could not be located in the dnamic link library px dll how do i fdix this

I had the same problem. Here is what I did:
Uninstalled DVD Author
Uninstalled Nero Burning Rom (I don't think that really mattered, but did it anyway)
cd c:\windows\system32
del px*.*

I had to delete anything that started with px from the system32 directory under the windows directory.
(actually I created a temp directory to hold em just in case I needed em)
Then re-installed DVD Author.

worked like a charm after that

you should reinstall that should fix your problem

This doesn't work. Please help.

Hi!
My TMPGEnc will not open .avi-files for convertion. That is, it opened and converted the first file, and it worked perfectly, but after that, it has not been able to open any files, not even the one it had already converted. I get the following message after selecting file for conversion. "File "[...]" can not open, or unsupported." Any ideas on how to avoid this problem?

Answered....

I have the video clip, and now I want to expand the frame with black border, how could I do it with TMPGEnc? Thanks so much

Please clarify what you mean and what you want to acheive.

Ok, I am trying to encode a file using the latest free version of TMPGEnc to DVD (4.7) in NTSC.

Here is the file info from AVIcodec:
File : 699 MB (699 MB), duration: 0:59:05, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 70 %
Video : 509 MB, 1206 Kbps, 23.976 fps, 640*352 (16:9), DIV3 = DivX v3 ;-) MPEG-4 (Low-Motion), Supported
Audio : 189 MB, 448 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 5 channels, 0x2000 = AC3 DVM, Supported

I had Xvid installed (along with the ac3 codec) but that was giving me problems so I installed Divx 3.11 and I was able to open the file fine. I extracted the ac3 and I was set to encode.

Using the wizard: DVD NTSC, Noninterlace-1:1-Film Movie, Page 3 was left default, 2pass VBR, Motion Search: Highest Quality, FIle Size: 95%.

It goes through the first pass fine, but at 50% it stops and gives the error: System Error 6: The Handle is Invalid.

It also does this for the second half of the movie. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

Thanks

A few things to try in order:
Raise the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' in the VFAPI plugins to 2 and make it top of the list.

Install FFDSHOW and ensure DIVX is checked in the settings.

If that don't work try frame serving from Virtualdub.
Finally try re-installing TMPG.

Tip: don't use the 'Highest' quality setting. It will severly slow your encoding time and gives no gain in quality at all as has already been proved on this board. Use 'High'
