I use my WinTV USB PVR to rip video in MPEG2 format on the fly from various sources. The PVR always rips perfectly with no video or audio sync problems on playback. However, when I want to cut or merge these files with TMpegENC, occasionally I get audio sync problems. I always rip from the PVR at the same format (MPEG2 2 Mbps) and cut/merge with TMpegENC to SVCD. It seems to occur only in larger files and only later in the file cut. For example, I rip a one hour show, and it ends up being a gigabyte or so. Then when I go to cut/merge the file, I can do so with no problems until I get say halfway into the file, try to cut/merge a new clip and the audio is out of sync.
Any suggestions or help?? thanks!

Is the audio out of sync for the same amount in the movie or
becomes it more and more out of sync in the movie?

it is out of sync for the same amount.

Can anyone tell me how to do it with this programme?

I capture mpegs from VHS using Ulead studio 6. The audio stream is 44100. If I FINISH the project in Studio 6, the resulting DVD audio at 48000 sounds fine. But yo get rid of the noise at the bottom of the frame, I use TMPG with bottom mask. The respulting mpeg file, ready for burning, has an annoying, shrill bloom or sizzle in the audio track. The only way I've been able to eliminate it is to FINISH the project in Studio 6 and then re-encode it all over again in TMPG with the bottom maked out.

My guess is that TMPG is misreading the input stream as 48000.

Had the same problem that seemingly just popped up. The only way I could "clean up" the audio was to set up everything I wanted in TMPeg and then "normalize" the audio.

I'm assuming it's "cleaning" it somehow.

This is most likely the usual problem with TMPG's samplerate converter. It isn't too good. To solve your problem use an external samplerate converter with TMPG. One of the best is SCMPX. Just go to enviromental settings and click the external tool tab and choose SCMPX as the external program to use.

I just tried this. Actualy made it worse.

Does any one know how to do this, Making slecteable subtitels ?
I tried several tools an programs , nothing seesm to work. Please Help ...

Do subtitels influence the bitrate or video qualtity ?

Apparantly there is only one program that can do this at the moment and that is Enreach I-Author Deluxe.
Do search on google.com for it.

Hi,

If multiplex 2 audio files 128 kps MpegI, in an MpegII svcd video file (even if chosen SVCD mulitplex mode) the orignal quality of the video gets bad and worse ... does anyone know how to solve this problem ?

(The orginal video is 2500 kps.The orgignal plays realy very good)

I am using DVD2AVI (1.86) to generate a .d2v file and an .AC3 file from .VOB files. If I do this for NTSCFilm format (either as 29.97 or forced film 23.97 fps), once I have used TMPEnc to produce a video only mpeg2 (3:2 Pulldown 23.97 (29.97 fps internally) otherwise video is not smooth) when I load the mpeg and AC3 files into Spruceup or ULEAD Movie Factory and produce a DVD, the audio progesively goes out of sink throught the DVD?!

I'm not sure at which stage the audio / video is affected i.e. DVD2AVI / TMPEnc or Spruceup but the final video is the right time duration, the sound seems to get progrsevly ahead.

I haven't found any tools which will let me work with AC3 (DD) most requre down sampling to DS :-( (.wav or .mp3).

Any Ideas ?

I think this could be a problem with with DVD2AVI as it is known for sync probs where the audio is concerned.

To extract your AC3 use VOB2AUDIO, it is much better at it and can extract to AC3, wav or mp3 and is more accurate as it uses direct show filters to do the ripping much the same as what Graphedit does.

Since removing interlace artifacts seems to always be one of the hard parts of mpeg 2 compression, would shooting video with a camera that will do progressive scan (vs normal interlace) (e.g., Canon Elura) generally provide a better result when the target is DVD?

I realize I will have to perform some experimentation, but might this be generally true? It could have a huge bearing on what DV camera I buy next.

Is content of commercial DVDs progressive? (Then DVD player outputs interlaced for most people and outputs progressive for people with higher end player and TV?)

Oscar

All DVD movies originally start out as progressive and then have pulldown added to make them interlaced.

Progressive movies don't have the problem of interlacing artifacts and therefore can save much time if you capture to progressive frames in the first place as you won't have to de-interlace or apply IVTC to the movie before encoding it and should therefore give a better quality result in the final movie.

If you can, go for the DVcam that can capture progressive frames. It will save you a lot of time and frustration when it comes to encoding it.

where can i download this msvcr70.dll send me a mail pls

>Did you find this file ? I get the same problem.
>Thanks

Hi folks,

TMPGEnc crashes with an "unknown software exception" if I open an MPEG Audio file or an *.mpa audio file from dvd2avi.
What can be wrong ?

I don"t know what is wrong but you can just encode your mpa files to wav files, tmpgenc does not like to encode mpeg audio, but encodes wav the best, I use "db power amp" cuz it is free and fast with good quality and it extracts audio from most video files, I use it rather than "virtuadub" for audio extraction.....

I have encoded like 15 Divx movies into SVCD with TMPEGenc with no problems, but suddenly when I tried to start encode another DivX avi to MPG it reports .vdr (virtualdub frameserver) unsupported....So I can't get the program to work anymore ? Does anyone know the problem ?

Are you saying you are frameserving from Virtualdub and it has suddenly stopped working?

Try uninstalling and re-installing the frameserving client, if that doesn't work try raising your direct show filters to 2.

ASHY

Thanx for the tips...I installed VirtualDub again...I works fine. It serves the DivX, but TMPEGenc doesn't support the .vdr format anymore...I also tried to rise prioritys from environmental, no go still.....everything is on 0 position and I raised Direct Show filter to +2, +3 and +4 ,b ut it still reports that the format is unsupported. I can't believe it stops supporting the formats without doing nothing........

I found the problem....It was because somehow msvcr70.dll was disappeared from my windows/system32/ folder.....I downloaded the dll from the web and copied into that folder and now everything works again ? I'm just wondering where the file have disappeared and why ?!?

I have had exactly the same problem once or twice and I thought that it was just my system that had the problem. I solved it the same way as you, I downloaded the file and installed it into my system32 directory and everthing works fine after that.

Just one of those funny things I suppose, but it could have been caused by uninstalling another program which was using that .dll and has uninstalled that file as well.

i have a problem when i demultiplexing i video file.
The video file with exstention *.m2v it's with the same quality to the original video,but if i put this file into PREMIERE 6.01,the quality of the video is BAD!!!

Is the quality so bad in Tmpgenc,too?
If not,the program you mentioned probably has wrong settings.

I have some downloaded mpeg files(320x 240, 24fps), and some convert from asf(320X240, 25fps), but downloaded mpeg is not the same size to others, so i need to rebulid it? for merging.

What's the different between 1:1 VGA, 4:3 PAL, 4:3 PAL 704x576?
I input my downloaded file 4:3 PAL, and output highest quality, 4:3 PAL, but the output video is shapeless than the original video. How can i make the same qulity mpeg output file for vcd?

Thanks^.^

Tom.

I made with the template: Super VCD a mpeg.
But now a can't read it in any player.
Also not in my DVD-player which is PowerDVD 3.0.
