Question - TE25 - Floating Point Error No.42218
Hyena  2004-08-25 17:13:28 ( ID:yv5denvs/vl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I use DVD2SVCD to create Video DVDs from my avi files but after DVD2SVCD runs TMPGEnc and finishes encoding I get error "Floating Point Division by zero". What is this and what can I do about it?


gravity  2004-08-26 20:08:53 ( ID:qpodiabomkj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I think I had this problem when I first used Tmpgenc.

Try raising the priority of your Directshow VPAFI Plug-in.

Open Tmpgenc,
in the main screen click,
Option > Environmental Setting... > VFAPI Plug-in
Right Click the "DirectShow Multimedia File Reader" and select "Higher Priority" until it's one above everything else.

Remember what it was incase im wrong so you can change back.

Try converting a small movie file and see if it works :)

Question - TE25 - Audio Problem at the end of an MPEG No.42211
Ditzt  2004-08-25 17:06:38 ( ID:4j1ccubzsd. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, I'm using TMPGEnc-2.521.58.169-Free, and have seen the same problem with TMPGEnc-2.521.58.169-Plus.

I have a 2min 7sec uncompressed AVI I created with lightwave and edited together using ULead Media studio. The audio is embedded in the file. I've tried encoding in a number of formats (CQ, CQ_VBR etc) at a number of quality levels, but I always get the same problem.

The audio stops when I reach about 2 mins, and the video continues on to the end. Then once the video has finished the last 7 seconds of the audio plays.

Any ideas?

(Audio is Layer-2 44100Hz 192kbps)


ashy  2004-08-26 17:13:56 ( ID:aa91hwfybyn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Extract the audio to a wav with Virtualdub and use that as your audio source.


ashy  2004-08-26 17:17:58 ( ID:aa91hwfybyn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I jus re-read your post.
You say the audio in the AVI is MP2? That's unusual for an AVI.
However if that is indeed the case then you don't need to re-encode the audio at all.
Just demux it with a suitable program such as Virtualdub.
Create a video only MPEG then remux it with your audio using the MPEG tools in TMPG.


Ditzt  2004-08-26 17:33:02 ( ID:4j1ccubzsd. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'll give that a go, cheers.

The only reason I went with MP2 was I'd already tried the other formats, and had the same problem.


Ditzt  2004-08-26 17:45:37 ( ID:4j1ccubzsd. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Nope,

Tried using separated out audio and still have the same problem (using mpeg1 audio this time)

Anymore ideas?



ashy  2004-08-27 08:31:51 ( ID:aa91hwfybyn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hang on a minute, you got me confused...are you saying that the original audio in the AVI is 'NOT' actually MP2?

The way your post reads is that your AVI has MP2 audio, but I guess you mean that is the format you are attempting to encode to.
What is the audio format in the AVI?

In any case extracting the audio to a wav with Virtualdub should solve the problem, however you MUST do this procedure correctly.
You need to select 'Full processing' and then select 'PCM' as the compression method.
When done the output file should be quite large, if it isn't you haven't done it correctly.

Iam guessing your AVI contains VBR MP3 which is common for causing problems.


Ditzt  2004-08-28 16:16:03 ( ID:4j1ccubzsd. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Cheers for the suggestion, but the original AVI contains 16 bit PCM.

When I split it out using virtualDub, I did have full processing mode selected, and the output file was also 16bit PCM.

You are correct, the audio formats I refered to were the ones I had tried to encode in the mpeg.




Request - TE25 - Why does TMPGEnc stop while converting? No.42210
Taurus50  2004-08-25 15:05:02 ( ID:kmuinhlsjww )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Does anyone know why TMPGEnc suddenly stops working without any message? Here is what I do:

1. I use Virtual VCR and the huffyuv codec to capture.
2. I load the captured file into VirtualDub 1.5.10 to edit the video
3. I start the framserver in VirtualDub
4. I then use TMPGenc 2.5 to create a PAL DVD mpeg using the edited video

The Direct Show priority is at +2. I have done this over and over again, with different captured files. Once only a message showed up: Read error occurred at address 000922F4 of module TMPGEnc.exe with 0DDD8230. Any idea what that means? And what do I do wrong?




Request - TDA1 - How about a feature to remove logos added to TV shows? No.49217
Ken Maltby  2004-08-25 13:44:50 ( ID:mzcxcyg9jxh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

There is a plug-in for VirtualDubMod that is called "RegionRemove"
that appears to copy/clone pixels from the edges of an area to fill
that area. In this way you can define that area so that it covers
something you want to remove ( like the pop-up adds TV Stations
add to shows after commercials) and it will write over the area
with a clone of the pixels from the edges. This will usually have
the effect of making the unwanted text/pop-up seem to disappear,
leaving a slight blur in some cases.

This would be a great feature to have in the new MPEG Editor.
Or perhaps an image "clone tool" for touching up frames, could be
added to the editor. These features would be especially useful in
a "Smart Rendering" editor. It would certainly add value to the
Editor and could be a very persuasive reason to select this one
over competing software.



Question - TE25 - Non-standard aspect ratio No.42207
wiley  2004-08-25 13:43:39 ( ID:c.b/e5akd/k )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have an AVI video file with a non-standard aspect ratio (576x320 frame size).
I'd like to convert it to VCD format using TMPGENC. I tried all combinations
of source aspect ratio and whether to keep aspect ratio in advanced settings.
But the output video kept being a little bit stretched or squeezed. Has anyone
been able to convert a non-standard aspect ratio (other than 5:3, 16:9...) to
VCD format? Is there a way to custom specified the source aspect ratio in
TMPGENC?

Thanks.

Wiley


gravity  2004-08-27 15:51:05 ( ID:j9nmw2szoza )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

All you should need to do is select "Full Screen (keep aspect ratio)" on the advanced tab in the MPEG Settings.
The prog. should just stretch/compress the frame until 2 sides are on the edge and then it will fill the top & bottom with a border.
You might get a little stretch due to the standards of VCD.
Maybe try SVCD as it has slightly different aspects ratios, but i dont know how big your file is.

ashy  2004-08-28 09:45:07 ( ID:aa91hwfybyn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

576x320 is a PAL 16:9 aspect ratio.
Simply select '16:9 (PAL)' as the source aspect ratio under advanced settings then 'Full screen(keep aspect ratio)' as the 'Video arrange method'

For future reference if you encounter a non standard aspect ratio that TMPG doesn't support then you can use the 'Clip frame' filter to adjust the aspect ratio to your satisfaction.
You will find this setting under 'Advanced>Clip frame>Arrange setting' then select 'Center(custom size)' from the drop down menu.

Question - TE30 - TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress does not work with frame server from VirtualDubMod? No.53281
Warrior  2004-08-24 22:16:18 ( ID:f.8yzuhnjzm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress does not work with the frame server from VirtualDubMod. In the preview everything checks out fine, but when the encoding started, it shoes an error "file type not supported".

Any suggestions?

Question - TE25 - TMPGEnc Closes After Compilation No.42203
pjhorton21  2004-08-24 03:33:11 ( ID:evkqquswknk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I've been using the 'Plus' version for two years now. Recently, I can no longer encode in batches; the program closes after one file has been encoded (it is not removed from the batch list either). Any suggestions?


Dave  2004-09-01 08:25:04 ( ID:jljkdgqiauo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have now got the same problem you have!

Did you find a solution? If so, can you mail it to me?

Thanks

Dave


pjhorton21  2004-09-09 21:38:22 ( ID:evkqquswknk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have not found a solution. A workaround is to run more than 1 instance of the program each compiling a different file. Oh well....



Question - TE30 - Add Borders No.53276
Skonk  2004-08-22 13:59:14 ( ID:xnpzw1zwwfh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is it posible to pad the edges of my video with black? My source video has hard coded subtitles which do not fit into TV safe areas, as such when played back on a tv the subtitles go off the bottom of the tv screen, i need to somehow add several pixels of black (padding) around the edge of my video.

The crop feature can add black borders but this decreases the actual image size so isn't useful for my problem, i need to actually shrink the image down slightlighy leaving black around the edges. AVI Synth has a "AddBorders" function that can do this but i was hoping i could get a plugin for TMPGEnc that could do this for me.

Thanks..

Jim.


JoeHecht  2004-08-22 21:14:58 ( ID:24phymk8wv. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I do this by doing a crop filter (with no mask), then doing a resize filter to
(image position - center and custom size) and st the resize to exactly the same as the cropped size.

I believe that if the "resized size" is exactly the same as the "cropped size", then no resize is actually perfomed (so the quality does not degrade), and you still get black borders. I checked the quality by doing this (using TMpg251) and it was pixel to pixel perfect (no real resize happened).

I use this to eliminate any garbge around VHS and SAT captures (thinking that if the encoder does not try to encode the garbage and overscans, it can do a better job on what I really want to see). Also, by the time you trim the left and right side, you can drop a 720x480 to 704x480 (thinking that x-bitrate would produce better results on 704 than 720). An added bonus is that 352 is exactly half of 704, making 352*240 movies encode both faster and with better quality.

If someone wants to dispute the ideas presented, please chime in, as I am only trying to follow "logical thinking" here...

Joe


Skonk  2004-09-24 22:22:03 ( ID:17s7uipsle. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I think you misunderstand me slightly :)

THe crop filter removes pixels, where as i need to keep them, i have subtitle text that is about 2 pixels from the bottom of the image, when played back on a tv this text goes off the bottom of the screen so you cant read it, i need to shrink the video down lets say by 10 pixels around each edge (thats 20 in total), resizing it rather then cropping it and then add 10 pixels of black around each edge to bring it back to the correct resolution, this way the text will be visible on the tv screen (not pushed off the bottom).

Iv been trying to do it with avisynth's addborders function but avisynth doesn's seem to like my avi files (using wmv3 codec), if it would open my video (well it does but with no sound) this would work fine, i can resize the video to 700 * 556 then add 10 pixels around each edge to bring the resolution back to 720 * 576.
Its fansubbed anime im trying to convert to dvd so they all have subtitles, not much use without them since i dont speak japanese :)

Yeah - I'm having this same problem. Totally annoying. The error message has no useful information at all.


scarabic  2004-11-06 21:59:22 ( ID:sd0zzcmtedc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Okay - here's a vague workaround I stumbled upon.

First I upgraded to the most recent version: 3.1.3.70

Then the error message changed. It began complaining that there was not enough space free on my output destination disk. This was not true - I have a second 80GB hard drive I use just for video, and it had over 50GB free.

However, I switch the output destination to the Desktop on my C: drive and retried. It has finally gotten past the initial choke stage and is working its way through the batch. I don't know if it will finish... but at least it's working.

So:
1) upgrade
2) fiddle with your output destination if possible


David  2004-12-01 09:57:28 ( ID:mpwpv837utc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

I set the output to a drive which only had about 7gb free, when I got that error message, I changed the output to C: which has 20gb free, and the error message went away. I guess it just needs a bit more space to encode. Hope this helps everyone, pity the error message couldn't be more helpful.
