I recently reformatted and reinstalled my OS (Win2K) and after reinstalling TMPGEnc 2.59 I am no longer able to completely finish encoding mpeg2 files from AVI files that I created. I get the following error:
Read error occurred at address 00481AA5 of module 'TMPGEnc.exe' with 06C94CA8
(The address numbers vary)
MPEG1 files encode perfectly, without any trouble. I've tried different AVI files, all of them experience this error when converting to mpeg2. Prior to reinstalling Windows I was able to encode these same AVI files just fine.
The time it takes for the error to occur varies, even with the same AVI file. Sometimes it's 5 minutes, sometimes it's after 1 and a half hours, but it never gets beyond 25%.
I have tried setting the priority of the Directshow filter to 2 and the rest to 0 like Ashy has described in other postings similar to this.
This is very annoying because I've used TMPGEnc dozens of times without any problem.
Are you sure that you reinstalled SVCD codec, too?
It looks like you are trying to reencode into the format you don't have the appropriate software for.
MPEG2 requires SVCD codec to be installed prior to any viewing or conversion.
If you reinstall OS, your codec is gone which means that you must install it again.
I'm not sure what you mean by SVCD codec, unless you are talking about the mpeg2 codec in general. I do have Cyberlink PowerDVD XP software installed to plays DVDs.
The job of TMPGEnc is to encode mpeg2 not decode it (which is what the PowerDVD software does). I was under the impression no additional software was required to do that.
I've been having this exact problem. Seems that there are alot of 'dodgy' frames in downloaded movies. Try frameserving to TMPGEnc with VirtualDub ... I got alot further with this, but it still gave the error in the end!
Finally had sucess by encoding it with Panasonic MPEG 1 encoder though!
Cheers, THM
Try scanning the movie for bad frames with Virtualdub. If it finds any you have the option of masking them. This will replace a bad frame with a blank one.
I don't understand how just by reformatting/reinstalling my OS the AVI files that I personally created (through DV, no "downloaded" files) which encoded fine in TMPGEnc before, now are giving me these error messages.
Also, the same AVI files which give me the error messages encode just fine in TMPGEnc with mpeg1. For example, if I batch two jobs for the same AVI, the first job mpeg2 and the second job mpeg1, the mpeg2 job will stop at some point, but then it will perform the mpeg1 job for the same AVI just fine.
Also, the points where the crashes occur are NEVER the same, they are always different. I would think if it was a bad frame, it would always crash at the same place.
I will continue to try different AVI files (my personal ones that I created) and test this issue further.
Perhaps the codecs that come with PowerDVD were replaced by something you installed afterwards. Un- then re-install PowerDVD. Let us know if that works.
I created a highlight basketball film and it looks great except for the titles which seem to block fade or stutter. They arent smooth and there are beeps in the audio. If I put a little video behind it they seem to work fine but i am unable to have a black or transparent background with white titles fade nicely like they do on the computer. When I watch the mpeg2 file on my computer it seems to play ok, but when I put onto a DVD using DVDit 2.5 PE it doesnt work correctly. At first I thought it was DVDit but I then encoded the same video in Cleaner 5 (which is terrible) the titles played fine. They faded nicely with no beeps. I hope this helps find the root of a problem.
Thanks, Alex
I converted DIVX movies to two VCD discs. When making the MPEG files for VCD I use Visualdub for the sound. I use the template for PAL VCD that comes with TMPG, but when I playback the movie it does not move smooth. It looks good, but when you get a scrolling picture (like arial view) you see that after maybe 1 or 2 seconds the moving stops for a very short period. First I thought I have to burn the VCD (with Nero) on lower speeds, so I burned one movie at 1x. Still no better movement.
Sounds like you have encoded it to a Different Frame rate than the source file..Your Mpeg file has to have the same frame rate as the source AVI file...
Im kinda a newbie here and i hope some of you guys can help me..
I normally use Pinnacle's Fast Silver editing tool.. but id like to try to make a dvd for a change.. I can output a M2V file from my Fast Studio software.. i also get two .wav's with left/right audio channels..
How do i get from here to having a DVD file that i can burn?!
When i use the Wizard it says that M2V isn't supportet.. could this be true?
An m2v file is an MPEG2 stream without audio. As long as it is in the correct format, such as framesize and framerate and GOP size you may be able import it directly into DVD authoring software. http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/authoring.html
Still trying to find out why some DVD's vobs cause buffer underflow.
Dr. M reports following about the vob, which multipelxing with Tmpgenc results 200.000 s packets buffer underflow:
Can anyone tell the meaning of it? (below)
Looks like there is only bitrate changed compared to old ... but what is old? "Old" must be something inside vob as there is no ifo or other files.
Examination for W:ess_1_5.vob (Extract only as it's a repeative error)

Looking for missing or duplicate frames

ive just used the programme to convert a divx file to a mpeg however once it was done there was a few seconds of sound but then it stopped and there was no sound throughout the rest. whats wrong????????
Extract the sound into .wav file with VirtualDub, make sure that your newly created .wav file has sound (ie, doesn't suddenly disappear) and try again by selecting it as source audio.
I download loads of films using Kazaa. I wanted to put these in VCD or SVCD format so as to free up my Hard Drive. When I use TMPG Enc I am using the same source *.avi file for both video and audio. I get great quality video encoded in bout 4hrs but there's no sound. Do I need to extract the sound from the *.avi file first and when I choose my source video and audio file make the *.avi file the video source and the *.? file the audio source.
Quite a few of the divx films on kazaa have mp3 variable bitrate audio.
TMPGenc only supports constant bitrate try using virtualdub to extract the audio to a pcm uncompressed wave file then select the wave file in tmpgenc.
I just downloaded TMPGEnc v2.59 and unzipped the file. First question: why is there no install/setup file? I then tried running TMPGEnc.exe. It runs,but after specifying my input and output files and trying to proceed, I got the following error message: Can't load "P3Package.dll"
TMPGENC Is a Standalone application so there is In Installer..But you have to extract ALL of the Files in the Zip File in the same folder..You odviously don"t have them in the same folder or you wouldn"t be getting the P3P Package error...
