I got a perfect avi I converted it to an perfect mpeg and there's also sound in it, but the video has a delay on the audio. First a person speaks then 2 seconds later his lips move. Does anybodu know about this problem? Or what to do?

If the Delay is the same all the way through the movie you can use the Multiplexor in a Program called "Mpeg2VCR", it has a Feature in it"s Multiplexor that will allow you to off set the audio or Video to Fix sync Problems.....

if you are planning on burning your file to a cd...and playing in your dvd...it will correct itself. when i convert to mpeg2...my sound is always off from the video...but when i burn and watch..its fine.

>if you are planning on burning your file to a cd...and playing in your dvd...it will correct itself

What??? There is nothing correcting itself. The audio must be in sync in the first place.

There is obviously something wrong with your PC if it is playing MPEG2 files back with de-synced audio and ok on your DVD player.

In a normal system if the audio is not in sync on your PC then it is not going to be in sync on your DVD player.

Hi i have been doing this for some time with no problems re encoding svcd to dvd but now i have been getting these choppy frames towards the end of the encode i use DVDMaestro to author (with cinemaster codec installed for preview in maestro) and i have power dvd XP installed anyone got any ideas ?

Hello again,

I have a new little problem. I open an avi-file with 640x480 pixels and get the message: Judging field order... After this message the film is in the field "Video file:", but the field "Audio file:" is empty...
When i use the browse-button to use the same avi-file for "audio" I get the following error: "file...can not open, or unsupported"

What must I do to make a SVCD from this movie???

The "Judging Field Order " Message Has Nothing to Do with the Audio...The reason Why the Audio isn"t being Loaded is Because the Audio format that is in the AVI File Is not supported in Tmpgenc..What you need to do is Extract the audio to a WAV file and use that as the audio file...Look on a Search engine For a Program called "AVI Mux" and use it to demux and uncompress the audio to a WAV file and use the wav file as the audio source....

Where can I find easy to understand directions on how to use TMPG Enc?

Hi, I cannot figure out how to join multiple jpegs to make a VCD. Is this possible with TMPGenc?

Make sure they are numbered sequencially then load the first and the rest will load automatically.

Hello!

Can also mpeg 2 video clips merged while numbered sequentially and 1st loaded into multiplexer let say? If so, then I'm certain it doesn't work with all possible digital video material and that is why I'm not rushing to test it myself.
Still I have used Vobmerge for elementary joining of vob and mpg.

You dont need to number them if you are just joining the files. Just load the files into Merge/Cut in the order you wish them joined.

2pass-VBR always get the same file size even
if I change the avarage bitrate to 900.

I have select VCD(non-standard) to override CBR-1150,
but tmpgenc still created same files-size no matter
what avarage bitrate setting is.

Using MPEG-1 System(VBR) probably will work so I can
get a 85 minute movie down to 800MB.

But why does not Video-CD(non-standard) work anymore???????

It's a well known Bug in TMPGEnc 2.59. Use an older Version for Multiplexing, and you will be happy again ;)

Hi, I am pretty new to this but have created several 2 min AVIs with Microsoft Moviemaker2 and encoded to MPG2 with TMPGenc sucessfully. I have the same format 720x480 AVI that is 14 min long, TMPGenc wont recognise more than 5 min in preview and the rest if the AVI insnt there in preview or when I encode it. Is there a limitation on MPG2 encoding lenth. I know the freeware version limits you to 30 days for MPG2 enc. but I am not able to encode more than 5 min at a time.

Have you tried to Raise the "Direct Show File Reader" in the "VFAPI Plugins"???
Go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "Direct show" to "2"...

Thanks, I'll try that over the holidays. Someone mentioned that the windows Moviemaker has issues with Nvidia card drivers and that is the prog that rendered the AVI so maybe there is a problem there?

Thanks

Hi, I wonder if tmpgenc plus is suit for transcode vcd .dat to mpeg file.
I try to finish the transcode but it always shows up with error message of "buffer underflow" at the end. And I don't know if the transcode from .dat to .mpg file is correct with no error. Anyone got idea about this transcoding methods ? thanks for help.

.dat IS MPEG (MPEG1). You don't have to transcode. Do a simple Multiplex to VCD, this should work.

We would like to control the way how TMPGEnc(+) reads jpeg still images into the mpeg2-video. Is there any documentation available how to use the various Video.SourceFile and Video.SourceRange.* options in the text .tbe and .tpr files?

Basicly we want to duplicate each still image for n frames without duplicating the actual files.

Are there any further documentation available about the .tbe and .tpr file formats (in text)?

"Basicly we want to duplicate each still image for n frames without duplicating the actual files"

You don"t need to duplicate the files Just load the same file in as Many times as You need....

Hi !
When I try to use the mpeg-tool Merge&Cut I receive the following error-message : Could not open this file with DirectShow. (0x80040209)
Thanks for help .

What kind of file are you trying to load into MPEG Tools and do you have the proper plugins loaded for that file?

Seasons Greetings.

I just downloaded a xvid video and when i try to convert it, the file size is like 3 or 4 times the normal . and when i use vdub and save as wav, then use tmpg,it seem to crash. any clue?

Filter settings have to changed for xvid:s. Check out this URL

I converted an avi into mpeg and the quality is great, but there is no sound. Does it have anything to do with that I cut the avi in half which I had to do due to the size of the avi? Or is there an other problem? I'm quite new with the program so I might have chosen the wrong sttings.

i have the same problem, when i split mpeg videos, theres no sound! i dont get it!

If there is Sound in the AVI file But no audio in the Mpeg file then you probably need to Extract the audio to a WAV file with something like "Virtual Dub" or "AVI-Mux" and use the WAV file as the audio source...

But how does that work. Do i get an wav file which i have to burn on the vcd?

hi,

i have the same problem, split a 800 mpeg video to 2, but when i checked the 2 halfs, i have sound at the beginning but somewhere in the middle the audio disappears!????#@$!

any suggestions??
