Hi! There~~
I have faced on the task of converting HDTV MP@HL(1920x1080i) Transport-Stream source files(.tp) to Direct-show Stream as MS-MPEG4, Divx, or MPG, etc..
I found that only TMPGenc opened the .tp stream files successfully with Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder v. 1.40(alpha) Direct-show filter.

After exporting the .tp to .avi file with TMPGenc, I have encountered with a problem on .avi have no sounds in spite of audio track presence !!

Some times later, I recognized that the .tp files have dual audio track.
as below.. (Mediaplayer with Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder v. 1.40 alpha)

As a result, TMPGenc utilize subchannel audio-track which have no sounds generally in order to make .avi... , and ignores the primary audio-track.


Now, TMPGenc needed,
1. Give audio-track(or device) selection if the source stream has multi-track audio..
or
2. TMPGenc should utilize primary audio-track on HDTV MP@HL Transport-Stream source files instead of subchannel as now.

Would it be possible for next update?
(I'll waiting with all my heart!!)

For reference, I leave HDTV Transport-Stream MP@HL sample file
(Estimated 15MB, running time is about 7sec.. WOW!!!)

Thank you for ur link of mpeg2 TS directx filter...I finally can open a sample.tp of BoA singing No1 on musiccamp...thanks a lot

Does it cause any problems to run other programs while tmpgenc is encoding?

yep, I answered...

Techno

On my system I can"t even hav the screen saver on without haveing it cause a error in my video file, so you pretty much have to encode and do nothing else....

Really Sherlock? wow! :) unusual

Hi there.

I have taken my time to write this information up for people who are having problems with TMPGENC not encoding video, only sound. The video picture maybe black.

This is because it is a DIVX 5 avi. And DIVX v5 is not compatible with TMPGENC.

To get rid of this problem, do the following:

uninstall DIVX v5

Install DIVX v4.11 or v4.12 (www.divx-digest.com/software)

Then load the avi in TMPGENC and encode.

This should solve the problem

Thank-you

Techno

I have done as you said but there is still no picture. Would the fact that it is an SmR film make any difference?

sometimes.

do u have the SMR codecs installed (just to be safe)?

Sorry for the late respons, I was away for the last two weeks.
Thanks Ashy, great respons. I'll try the solutions you wrote and I'll let you know!

have tried to download the program and when i run it the tabs/buttons have no writing on them so i cant see what they do. if anyone has any idea what is going wrong can they let me know please.
thanks in advance.

How do I use TMPGnc to convert from mpg to avi so I can make my file smaller?

TMPGENC only encodes from avi to MPEG or MPEG to MPEG.

If u r thinking of encoding to DIVX, use 3.11alpha and use encoders like Virtualdub/nandub/vidomi.

Have you tried downloading TMPGENC again?

Techno

Does it cause any problems to run other programs while tmpgenc is encoding?

nope.

but it takes longer to encode.

Techno

Thanks Techno

no probs! :)

When I try to encode avi files to mpeg using TMPGEnc, the process sometimes freezes. If I try the same file again - then it does the same thing in the same place. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

there maybe corrupted frames in the video.

use virtualdub to scan the stream for errors.

Techno

Here's the problem:

I want to encoded the Audio from 48000hz to 41000hz so I can encoded it to a vcd-mpeg... But everytime I have encoded it to 41000hz, there is no sound!!!
What can I do???

use something like wavlab to resample/downsample to 44100Hz, always works!

Techno

you can also use virtualdub.

open the MPEG/avi in virtualdub

goto audio > full processing mode.

goto audio > conversion and select 44100Hz

Then goto audio > compression and select no compression PCM

Then goto file > save wav and save the audio

Then load this wav and video in TMPGENC and encode

do a little sample first to see if it works. If not then use Wavelab,

good luck

I am a newbie, but want to convert avi files to mpeg. I tried to this with Nero but wasn't too happy with the quality, especially with SmR films. I decided to try to use TMPGEnc to this, but when I try to do this after about 10% of the encoding is done there isn't any picture in the Black box in TMPGEnc. When I open the mpg file in Windows Media Player to view it there is only sound. What am I doing wrong, can anyone help TIA.

you might have DIVX 5 installed

uninstall DIVX v5 codec
install DIVX v4.11 or v4.12 codec

then encode
there should be video and sound.

Let us know

Techno

Got rid of DiVX 5.0 and installed the DiVX4 codecs, but nothings seams to have changed. I have WinXP, will that matter? Does it do the sound first and then the picture afterwards? Please help

no, it doesn't matter.

do u have the appropriate codecs installed to view the avi? (in WMP)

Techno

Also, try to increase the avi vfw, avi opendml and the directshow filter to a higher priority in the environment settings.

Techno

i have divx5.01 installed and erverything works fine,try also to install Divx3.11 first and then divx5,this also works fine...

yeah when i encode my AVI file, i get 1.8 gigs of blank screen and no sound.

Have a simular problem, can play the MPEG1 file in windows media player, but when I play the burned copy from Nero, I get audio but no video. I have split the current file previously, because Nero recognizes invalid stream and volume, so it re-encodes it again which throws the video and audio out of sync. So the file re-encoded file did play in my DVD, but the split file does not, just audio. Is there something that I can do in Virtualdub to fix the file and reburn it? Here is the specs of the video: Frame size = 352 x 288, 24.00 fp/s, 37642 total frames, and average bit rate of 2246 kb/s. You might see the problem right here, let me know thanks.

Please help me,
1)In the Project Wizard on step 4, in the cd type drop box, would A NORMAL COMPUTER/MUSIC CD be considered "CD-R 650 MB (ISO)"?

2)I go throught the project wizard and encoded a file. Now that its done encoding, what do I do to it to put it onto a cd that will work in most CD players?

Thanks

1) probably

2) what do u mean in most CD players?

are you talking about DVD players?

If your making a VCD then burn it as a VCD as long as you chose to make a VCD using TMPGENC. Make sure that your dvd player supports VCD AND CD-R media!
