Question - TE25 - Need help No.35671
ZOLTAN  2003-03-21 21:47:54 ( ID:fwvtdkldlng )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm trying to convert AVI files to MPEG using TMPGEnc. It'll open some files no problem, but others it'll say 'can't open' or 'not supported'.

One website I checked out said to change the priority number higher for the Directshow Multimedia File Reader to either 1 or 2.

When I do this and try to open an AVI, I get the 'send error report?' window and it shuts the program down?

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Download and install FFDSHOW.

ZOLTAN  2003-03-22 18:01:47 ( ID:fwvtdkldlng )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I downloaded FFDSHOW, and it told me to run ffdshow.exe but it wasn't part of the download?

I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot, but truth be told I am. I know very little about computers and have only been using this program for a week or so.

Do you know what's even causing the problems or what the problem is?

Thanks in advance.

You downloaded the wrong file. You have downloaded the source files. Download again, this time download the file that ends with .exe

You need to decompress the avi file first.


ZOLTAN  2003-03-23 00:01:39 ( ID:fwvtdkldlng )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

A lot of the files I have say Video Compression : DivX Codec in the summary part of properties. When I convert those to MPEG there isn't any problem, but if it doesn't say video compression when I convert it the file size becomes enormous and the sound quality isn't as good (I use Virtuadub to do the sound).
Are those the ones I need to decompress?


minion  2003-03-23 07:43:08 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

There is never really a reason to decompress a file defore encodeing it, Audio is different But most poeple do not have enough hard drive space to hold a uncompressed AVI Movie at about 1.5gb per minute, the encoder decompresses the file as it is encodeing it and it uses the codec that the file was compressed to to decompress it..There is No need to decompress video before encodeing it...


Ashy  2003-03-23 18:14:02 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

>You need to decompress the avi file first.

There is absolutely no need to decompress the video in AVI and cannot think of any reason or situation where you would ever have the need to either.
It is sometimes required to decompress the audio to wav, but not the video.

>A lot of the files I have say Video Compression : DivX Codec in the summary part of properties.

It doesn't matter what type of file you encode or whether it is compressed or not, this has no bearing on the output size whatsoever.

It is the length of the source which determines the difference in the file size as well as the bitrate, and depending on the encoding method, the resolution you choose for the output.

If you use the same settings for every source file and use a CBR encoding method then the only thing that can influence your file size is the movie length.

I recommend you start using the wizard for encoding or choose a template.

Question - TE25 - Output MPEG-1 file readable on PC but distorted on VCD player No.35669
yalez  2003-03-21 20:16:28 ( ID:2sp6witkuxn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hope anyone can help here.
Use DVD Decrypter to copy VOB files then DVD2AVI convert to AVI/WAV, finally
use TMPGEnc to encode to MPEG-1 VCD format, the output files looks perfect when
play on my PC using WMP, however when I put it into the VCD player, somewhere
middle of the disc the image start to become distorted and finally unable to
play, anyone has a clue?


minion  2003-03-21 20:41:14 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Do you mean that the image starts to break up into Blocks and distorts till it isn"t playable??? I have gotten this From Burning at a High speed, you should allways use a Low speed to burn VCD/SVCD"s cuz they have no error correction, and I have noticed that VCDeasy is really prone to this Problem when burning...



Question - TE25 - Why is mpg file size so large?!? No.35662
cy  2003-03-21 09:09:57 ( ID:qnb.wwfrl1m )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

hi!

i tried encoding a movie (.avi) and it said that the outcome (.mpg) will be about 2.5G.. does anyone know why it's so large, and how i can reduce it? i thought it should be alot smaller than that, maybe less than 1G.

another thing is that there's no sound either. i tried previewing before encoding, i didn't hear any sound. i also played the encoded part of the movie (.mpg) and the same thing, i can see the movie but there's no sound at all. what's wrong? please help! thks...


cy  2003-03-21 09:38:24 ( ID:qnb.wwfrl1m )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

anyway i have read through more threads n forums but still nothing is clear. y do i have to extract the audio file seperately? y can't this program encode the avi to mpg properly, with both video and audio working?


minion  2003-03-21 09:38:26 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

the audio in your AVI file probably needs to be extracted to a WAV file and the wav file used as the audio source, you can extract the audio with Virtual dub or AVI-Mux..And a 2.5GB file would be about the size of and average 2 hour SVCD, Most VCD"s and SVCD"s have to go on at least 2 CD-R"s and with SVCD"s sometimes 3 or more CD-R"s...

cy  2003-03-21 10:47:55 ( ID:qnb.wwfrl1m )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

are there any other encoding programs out there that can encode avi to mpg and have both video and audio working? anyone knows?? pls help! thks..


minion  2003-03-21 20:38:14 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The audio in your AVI file can"t be decoded because the format is Probably AC3 and Most programs can not properly decode AC3 audio..So you would most likely have to extract the audio no matter what program you used, and there are NO Freeware Mpeg encoders out there that have the Quality of Tmpgenc, but there are some that aren"t freeware but they also cost a few Bucks....


YaNKee  2003-03-24 03:16:27 ( ID:kia0wqld62h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Can you suggest a COMMERCIAL piece of software that will convert from AVI or DIVX or whatever to VCD?



Question - TE25 - burning a mpeg-2 file to SVCD using nero No.35659
np75  2003-03-21 06:29:48 ( ID:eyqqaxrv40a )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

This should be simple - I've "converted" a DivX avi to mpeg-2 using TMPG and split the file in 2 so it fits on 2 cds. That part worked fine and I can play each of the files on my PC - the audio and video are in synch. I then used Nero 5 to burn to a 700Mb cd-r using the SVCD option at 2x speed - which seemed to go ok. After the burn I tried loading up the cd on my pc but i can't even read the cd....any ideas?


minion  2003-03-21 09:33:34 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well you need a Program that will read a SVCD from your CD-Drive, you usually just can"t stick the disk in and have it play automaticly..You should be able to navigate through the SVCD Disk and go to the "MpegAV" folder and Run the file called something like "AVSEQ01.MPG" then it should play..But if there is a Different problem let us know...


np75  2003-03-23 23:46:16 ( ID:eyqqaxrv40a )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm putting it down to a bad burn and will try again as I couldn't even access the CD via explorer to naviagte the directories..



Question - TE25 - MPEG4 V3 No.35656
xumoe  2003-03-21 05:51:36 ( ID:xtiz3tplmcr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Will Tsunami MPEG Encoder be supporting MS MPEG4 V3 (MP43)? This codec is not listed on MS codecs site. It is distributted as part of MS Windows Media Tools 4 and includes improvements over the earliear MPG4. I have several avi files that were produced using this codec. I want to convert them to MPEG. (This info is from FOURCC.org)

Also, being new to converting avi to mpeg, why can WMP find the codec, but TMPGEnc and others cannot find it? Are the codecs somehow embedded in the programs?

Any info and help would be appreciated.


minion  2003-03-21 06:03:30 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yes Tmpgenc supports Mpeg-4, if it says the file is unsupported then go to "Options" to "enviromenta Settings" to Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct show file reader"..this should get Tmpgenc to read the file.


Ashy  2003-03-22 12:18:44 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If you have mediaplayer 9 installed then this is most likely your problem.

Mediaplayer is causing all sorts of problems with programs like TMPG, but not just TMPG.
It seems that Microsoft has implemented some sort of code into mediaplayer 9 and it's MPEG4 codecs which is blocking other software from using it's MPEG4 codecs. Microsoft has always tried to block the use of it's MPEG4 codec with anything other than it's own software.

You could try and find the hacked version of the MPEG4 codecs which are available on the net which should allow you to open these files or try FFDSHOW which can open all MPEG4 codecs including Microsoft,DIVX and XVID.

Your best bet if that doesn't work is to remove Mediaplayer9 and install FFDSHOW. This usually gets TMPG working with MPEG4 files.

Question - TE25 - resuming an encoding No.35654
Dre3029  2003-03-20 21:52:35 ( ID:76t3uzwevl. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

How do I stop the encoding and then resume it later on


np75  2003-03-21 05:15:29 ( ID:eyqqaxrv40a )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I don't think you can really stop and pick up later but you can effectively pause by clicking on abort - but don't hit Y or N - this should work whilst the computer is on - just hit N when you want to resume.

You can either Cut the AVI files before encodeing to Mpeg with something like "Virtual Dub" or you can cut the mpeg file after it has been encodeing to mpeg with the Mpeg tools or with a Real Mpeg editor like Mpeg2VCR....

Question - TE25 - Merge & Cut No.35649
Blade  2003-03-20 15:21:45 ( ID:nqtlkmxahzh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

I'm getting a problem with the Merge & Cut Mpeg Tools. Like some other posts on this site, when I try to edit the input video stream time frames I get a blank window instead of the time segment selection window.

This only affects one user on the PC, if I logon as someone else everything works fine. Previously I simply deleted the affected user profile and started fresh. This fixed it but is a big pain, as it has happened 3 times in 3 days now.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

How do you get vfp plug-ins to work? I've got the QT Reader.vfp and tried to convert a .mov file to mpg but I got the "Cannot Open Or Unsupported" error message.

Many thanks


Ashy  2003-03-20 14:40:27 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Did you put the QT Reader.vfp into the TMPG folder?
Also go to the VFAPI plugins and raise the priority of the QT reader to 2.

ASHY


DavidB  2003-03-20 18:30:26 ( ID:nsbkh5almbg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The QT Reader was put in the same folder as the tmpgenc.exe file. I've tried raising the priority to 2 as suggested and still no joy

Do you have the latest Quicktime installed???


DavidB  2003-03-21 13:58:43 ( ID:nsbkh5almbg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I thought you didn't have to have QT installed for the plug-in to work - otherwise I might as well leave the file as a .mov


minion  2003-03-21 20:43:16 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Of cource you need QuickTime installed, you would need it to Watch the File so Tmpgenc needs it to decode the file....



Question - TE25 - TMPGEnc can't open *.m2v files after appliing Power DVD XP patch No.35640

Hello,
I've TMPGENC free last version and PowerDVD XP installed.
Until now it was no problem to open a *.m2v file to resample it.
But afer I applied the latest patch for Power DVD, TMPGEnc says that it cannot open *.m2v files !
What can I do ?
I've tried to reinstall both software and before I install the patch, it's ok but after, the same error !
Please help me !

I don"t really know what the problem is accept that something is Blocking the Mpeg2 decoder from working Properly but you can easily encode any Mpeg2 file with Tmpgenc if you use DVD2AVI to make a D2V project File, this way is Faster anyways and I allways get Better results useing DVD2AVI...


Nobody  2003-03-25 22:42:00 ( ID:jpsh2mo4l5m )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Are you using Windows xp? You can try this workaround. Open PowerDVD xp and play any mpeg2 file. Pause it and then open TMPG. You should now be able to decode the file under TMPG. Hope this works for you. Happy encoding.

Hey there, i hope someone can help me! I just started using this program and am pretty good with most programs and i cant figure this one out......i am trying to change an mpeg 2 .VOB file to a mpeg1 or 2 to go on a vcd or svcd. I have have some success with the trailer from the movie driven and i cant seem to get any other vob's except ones off that disk to work... i checked to see if the audio and video streams were the same and they were, the vob before conversion works just fine in power dvd for and vob i have saved..... Can someone send me any ideas they have about this problem? when i load the vob for the trailer of for example coyote it says its one second long but its supposed to be two minutes of so.


Ashy  2003-03-20 10:03:13 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hmm, you don't seem to have a clue about VOB files.

You cannot just copy a VOB directly off a disk to your hard drive or load it directly into TMPG. VOBs contain many streams which TMPG can't handle.

You have to use a program such as Smartripper to decrypt the VOBs first to your hard drive then load the VOBs into DVD2AVI and create a d2V project file and a Wav then just load both into TMPG.

I think you are going to need more help so go here www.DVDrhelp.com for more info.

The Mpeg2 encodeing is only good For 30 Days and Only once, If you have ever downloaded the Program before at any time you can not use it again unless you Buy it....
