hello,

i have a problem with merging three mpeg streams.
after merging the audiostream from the first and the last
mpeg file are not present.
what is there wrong?

I have Had this Problem Before also and I didn"t find a setting or some other thing that fixed the Problem ,But what you can do is Just use something else to merge the files.....

Hello!

I have splitted separate streams from clips and merged audio clips with vobmerge. Then I have multiplexed the streams again together.
My audio has been in mp2 format.

After I convert, how do I go and make the MPEG file a non-standard VCD file? Do I go to "Multiplex" in TMPGEnc? What happens if I don't make it non-standard?

A non-Standard VCD is any VCD that has a Different Bitrate than 1150kbs for Video 224kbs 44100hz for audio and 352+240/288 as the Resolution so any VCD that doesn"t meet these specs is a Non-Standard VCD...If you can explain what you are trying to do or what problem you are haveing then we will be able to help you better...

Oh I was just wondering what would happen if you didn't go to MPEG Tools>Multiplex>VCD Non-Standard.

The main point what will happen if you don't use the NON STANDARD setting if you have created a non standard VCD, I.E. you may have created a VCD with lower than standard bitrate, is that the VCD will be padded by the muxer.

If you use the 'Standard VCD' setting on a 'non standard' VCD, this means that the lower bitrate will be padded to comply with standard VCD bitrates. This will result in making your file size larger.

I've been having trouble in the last few days with some VCDs I made from VHS. I've been doing this for a while: Capturing with VirtualDub; encoding with TMPGEnc; and then burning with VCDEasy. I've had much success. The last few days, though, I've started getting VCDs with no sound after about 1:42. (I get the problem on two different standalone players and on my computer's player.) Somewhere in there, I moved from TMPGEnc 2.55 to 2.59, and I also moved from VCDEasy 1.1.2 to 1.1.3. I'm about to run some experiments to see if I can identify the cause of the problem, but I'm reasonably certain, having already tried a few other things, that it is the move to TMPGEnc 2.59. Can anyone confirm having had similar problems? There is, I see, one previous note that may reflect a similar problem.

I used Nero5 to make a VCD menu but it didn't turn out the way I want. And there's no back option once you click on New to create a new VCD. Is it possible to delete the menu file once you made your VCD?

Not after the VCD is Burnt to the VCD...Unless I misunderstood your Question...?

Well...you know how you insert your VCD into the CD-ROM drive? You open the CD-ROM drive and you see all these folders? Shouldn't the menu be a file somewhere in those folders? And when you delete that file, the menu won't appear. Or is that impossible?

Well, you can't delete a burnt file, but you can allways just copy it to your HD, remove the CD-XA headers and re-burn it...

>And there's no back option once you click on New to create a new VCD. Is it possible to delete the menu file once you made your VCD?

If you was not happy with the menu why didn't you just delete the menu or disable it or close the whole project first before burning and start a new one? Or are you saying you weren't happy with the menu once it was burned, if that's the case you should have used the preview option in NERO to view your Menu first.

You can just simply copy the MPEG from the MPEGAV folder on the disk to your hard drive. The file will be named something like AVSEQ01.dat

You can then usually burn this directly again with Nero without the need to remove the headers.
If you do have any problems getting nero to accept the .dat file then just run it through the TMPG multiplexer using the VCD stream setting. This will remove any unecessary headers.

hello
i have done the virtual dub sound but the file is to big to fit on 1 cd. i know in mpeg tools you can cut it in half but i dont know how to so far it has not worked i must be doing something wrong how do i work it??????
thankyou

What has this to do with TMPGEnc .... or i must misread your question completely

I understand you have a sound file (wav ?) that is too big to fit on one cd ?
In that case why don't you cut the file with an audio-program like Cool Edit ?

i had asked a qestion about the sound before
now i want to know who to cut the joint mpeg file in half so i then can put it on 2 cds sry

If you can"t get the Tmpgenc Editor to work then use something else to edit with....

with tmpgenc ver 2.59 it's not possible to create a "non-standard video cd". for example: mpeg1 video, pal, 25fps and mpeg1 sound, 96 kbps.

tmpgenc will build everytime a standard vcd! this feature was working fine on version 2.58

thanks

You say: "in version 2,58 it was working fine"

Sure about that ?
I don't want to question your writing but i thought i had read that it is not possible to use 96 kbps as soundbitrate for a MPEG-1
Lowest for mpeg-1 one was 192 and for a mpeg-2 160 if my memory serves me right

This is a Well Known Problem with the Latesy version of Tmpgenc, You can remove the extra Padding by running the File through the Muxer of an older version....

Your right the problem is with 2.59 only and is a bug in the muxer adding padding to standard VCD bitrate to non standard VCD's. Using any other version to remux will remove the padding.

I also experienced the "kernel32.dll" error when trying to encode a xvid movie in tmpgenc
As always when i have a problem with tmpgenc i search this forum and it hasn't disappointed me yet

So i also found the answer to this problem in an answer that you can alter the xvid-avi into another codec-avi by using VDub and a HUGE temporary file

BUT .... i found another, much easier, way
Just FRAMESERVE the movie via VDub into tmpgenc and you shouldn't have any problems

Thought i would let you all know :)

straight with 2pass makes it for sense, if i can make a resume after a "Stream writing error"... Hours worked to 50% (2pass) and then comes the abort, if Tmpeg cannot write. That is very annoying!

Hello!

Does anyone knows how reliably TMPGenc handles 3:2 pulldown video streams?
May 3:2 pulldown be the source of my problems?
Still searching for a solution to author and burn clips onto DVD+R.
Thanks to anyone in this group who have helped to generate new ideas what else to try. :-)
Most of these clips didn't have any problems, but there is some amount what failed. TMPGENC multiplexing behaves oddly. As usually it starts muxing immidiately, this time it reads the HD sveral minutes like searching something from my m2v stream before muxing starts. Then the muxing process bar starts and goes normally. After the process end TMPGenc still doesn't stop but still writes something for several minutes. Finally There appears 200.000 buffer underflow warning for a 5 minute clip.
BBMUX is capable of multiplexing my m2v amd mp2 audio into viewable program steam with Windvd, but still my DVD authoring Ulead's DVDWS fails to accept these mpg streams. Checking m2v with Dr. M reveals that there is problem with duplicate frames.
The clip and stream is from commercial DVD and elswhere there isn't any known problems with this. And it isn't the only DVD title with the same problem.

Below is extract from Dr. M results:

* GOP (01:01:22:27) has 13 duplicate frames
* GOP (01:01:23:10) has 13 duplicate frames
* GOP (01:01:23:23) has 13 duplicate frames
* GOP (01:01:24:06) has 13 duplicate frames
* GOP (01:01:24:19) has 13 duplicate frames
* GOP (01:01:25:02) has 13 duplicate frames
* GOP (01:01:25:15) has 13 duplicate frames
* GOP (01:01:25:28) has 13 duplicate frames
* GOP (01:01:26:11) has 13 duplicate frames

Currently I install TMPGEnc Plus Version 2.59.47.155 Core Version 1.92.142 on my system running:
OS : Win XP Home Edition
CPU : Intel Pentium 4 1.7 Ghz
RAM : 240 Mb
Divx Codec : 3.11, 4, 5.0 & 5.02

My problem is when trying convert file Divx (5.02)to MPEG, TMPGEnc Plus quit without any error after a second.

Source file:

size : 707 502 Mb
Frame rate: 25 f/s
Data rate: 160kbps
Video Sample size: 24bit
Video Compression: DivX ver 5.02
Duration: 1:13:40
Bit rate: 96 kbps

After quit TmpGEnce create output MPEG file around 2 Mb (< 1 min duration) only but I can play that file with no problem. I mean audio and video play correctly.

please help me !
p/s : sorry broken english :)

It is more my guess than advice.
What I have noticed is that many programs "DO NOT LIKE" files compressed with DivX codec higher than 4.12 !!!!
For instance, VirtualDub is one of them. An excellent software to manipulate audio (multiplexing) along with its filters.
I use to have DivX codec 5.02 Pro installed on my computer. It resulted only with trouble when trying to work on compressed file. Quickly got rid of it and I reinstalled DivX codec 4.12. Still works best.
I recommend you the same :o)

Hello.

I keep getting a Windows dialog with the following error: "Write error occurred at address 77FCB9B1 of module 'ntdll.dll' with 00000000."

Sometimes this message pops up as soon as I start tmpgenc. Sometimes I do not get this message until I start to encode a movie.

Help!

Thanks,
-Todd

Disable virus scan. It worked for me.

Scratch that last reply/solution....It just blew off on me again with the same message.

Ok, I found what what causing this message (at least on my system).
It was the Xvid codec. I upgraded to the latest release and all is working well. It also resolved some color issues I was having with certain videos.

Hope this helps.

I am new to all this. I picked up a Divx avi and I used TMPG (for the first
time) to create an mpeg-2 file that I could burn to an svcd so I could view it on my dvd player. I chose the various options not knowing exactly what I should be specifying, but managed to create a high quality video mpg file (it took up 1.6 GB where the original avi took 160 MB!!) but there was no audio. I tried burning this to 2 cds and it was the same with my dvd player. I checked the audio codec and it shows mpeg-3 (Fraunhofer IIS) which TMPG apparently couldn't handle with its default setup. I obviously have this codec installed for playing because I can use the Divx player to play it with no problem. What do I need to do to get the audio in the final mpg? Also, even with a "state-of-the-art" system, it took 10 hours to render the mpg from the avi. Is this normal or should I have done something else? The quality is identical to the original as far as the video goes, but should it take this long? I did use 2 pass so that probably doubled my time, but even 5 hours seems excessive? Any help anybody can give me would be great. As you tell I have no clue about this stuff.

tmpgenc doesnt decode audio so well.....try using virtual dub to extract the audio from the avi as a uncompressed wav file and then add this to tmpgenc as the audio source.Also, if a movie isn;t playing right on your pc why burn it to cd? your're just wasting cd-rs

Thanks. I'll give this a try. The reason I tried burning the CDs was to see if maybe my external DVD player would play the audio when PowerDVD would not. The things only cost a few cents and long before my burner gives out it will be obsolete - actually it already is and still going strong :-). I regularly burn and toss CD-Rs when checking out bin/cue image svcd files rather than write to the hard drive first. They aren't really too good as coasters with that hole in the middle - better as frisbees. I find most DL'd flicks aren't even worth viewing once, much less keeping. Each to his own. Is it normal to have all those hours of time for converting? I was using an AMD XP 2400+/KT-400/512MB DDR400/Win2000 Pro SP-3 with nothing in the background that wasn't req'd.

WOW, It sure is Takeing a Long time to encode a Single Movie!!!I have a 1.7ghz and a 2 hour movie takes about 2.5 hours when useing Tmpgenc, when useing CCE a 2 hour movie is less than 1 hour.....

What settings do you use? I am totally new to this. What is CCE?
