i am currently trying to convert a xviD .avi file. TMPGEnc works fine with other movies encoded in DivX. Every time I try to start encoding to VCD for the xvid, a write error at ntdll.dll occurs, and then i cannot continue encoding. any help?

also, i'm not too sure how to use fddshow as a decoder as some people have suggested i do. if anyone would be so helpful as to give me a complete tutorial on how to use fddshow, i'd be really grateful

thanks!!

To use FFDShow as a Decoder delete your XviD codec and install FFDShow then FFDShow will be the codec(Decoder)...

i notice my movies pause for seconds after changing movie files from .avi or divx to mpeg using tmpge editor please help!!

Can you Please Explain your Problem in much better detail??

Hello,

When using the wizard for encoding to MPEG in TMPGEnc it selects ES
(video+audio) and give me two files, the audio file in WAV format. The audio
bitrate is set to something like 1,500 kbit/s. The problem with the WAV file
is that the MPEG tool for merging files doesn't accept the format. I've
tried to just change file name but that doesn't help.

When I leave the wizard and instead load the DVD PAL settings I'm free to
chose System (video+audio) which gives me just one file for audio and video.
However, the bit rate seems to be maxed at something like 300+ kbit/s. When
playing the DVD it seems like the sound has higher quality with the 1,500
kbit/s setting (which it should)

I need to solve at least one of these two problems, hopefully someone can help me to sove both.

Thanks in advance

Well You must be very new to this...Your DVD Authoring Program is supposed to Join the Wav file with the Video file, you load them seperately into your DVD Authoring Program.You can not Mux WAV audio and Mpeg video in a Multiplexor...You can choose a different audio format which will give you audio and Video in the Same file..What you have to do is exit the Wizard, the choose your DVD Template then load the "Unlock.mcf" Template from the "Extra" Folder, this will unlock the settings so you can change them, go to "Settings" to "audio" and choose "Mpeg audio" as your Audio format and then choose your Bitrate (the higher the better Quality), then when you are finnished encodeing you will have a single file with audio and video But the wav audio will allways have better Quality, you can also get an AC3 encoder and encode the Wav to "Dolby Digital" which would give you exelent Quality with a much smaller file size than Wav but this is a bit of extra work...

Thanks for respond. Yes, I am kind of new to this, hence my questions. The reason I wanted to merge the MPEG2 files is that I'm using MyDVD as authoring software and it gives me one "chapter" for each file I'm importing. My editing software is kind of old and cut the exported avi files in 2GB sizes (don't want to spend the additonal $$ to get a new editing software now). I've converted these edited, exported avi files to MPEG2 files and wanted to merge them with the MPEG tools in TMPGEnc before importing them to MyDVD so that I can get the "chapters" I want on my DVD. To be able merge them I thought that I had to mux the audio video files together (I might be wrong here).

Anyway, if there's a workaround the default lower bit rate in a combined Video Audio file, that will take care of my problem.

Any other thoughts or suggestions around this subject, please let me know.

Thanks again

Well, I just got this one problem. I cant convert my avi files what do I do?

What you do is Give us more information on why you can"t encode your AVI files, We don"t read Minds......

I know there is conflicts with media player 9, but, does anyone know if this is the same with DirectX 9.0a or is it safe to install?

Direct X 9 should be fine ,I use it and haven"t had any Problems...

Hi all,

i m a big pb.

I have a mpg2 file, created with hauppauge WINTV PVR PCI.

With old version TMPGEnc(2.00), i can open this mpg2 file and convert in mpg1.

But with version 2.56, when i want open this same mpg2 file, i have an error "file cant no open or unsupported.

Plz help me.

Thx

Go and read the the version and features history at http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html and you'll find out why.

I have problem opening a frameserved avi file from VirtulaDub with TMPGEnc this display the followin error message "File not compatible cannot open the file" o something like that, how can i make it top work, I use virtualDub because I need the subtitles.

In VFAPI environment settings, try unchecking the Directshow File Reader. This solved a problem for me yesterday where reading a .vdr file hung the program.

Have you installed the frame server?

ASHY

The problem is that when I start TMPGEnc and select the vdr file the virtualDub Crash, the frameserver is already installed.

Here is a test to determine whether the problems lies with TMPG or Virtualdub.

Create another VDR file then open another instance of Virtualdub. If the file loads ok into Virtualdub itself then the problem is with TMPG.

If this is the case you may just need to disable directshow, reduce the other priorities to 0 and increase the VFW filter to 2.

If this still causes problems try installing the ReadAVS.dll plugin.

ASHY

Is there another subtitles program that I can use, appart VirtualDub?

Yes you can use Vobsub with AVIutil.

Hello all!!

Please, I need help urgent!

I need import several mpg2 (720x486 D1 aspect, with fields) + wav (48khz stereo) to make mpg1 files (320x240 square aspect 3000 bitrate, 44khz stereo 160 bitrate)

Problem: Some times video stops somewhere at middle to end of the file; audio runs ok.

The original files comes from DPS Velocity, a professional non-linear video editing system. It exports mpg2+wav files and I join this files into a smaller mpg1 with audio. This files are send to clients to be aproved, so they must go with no errors.

Any Idea?

(please, sorry my poor english. This is the reason of my "spartan" frase, but I'm really desesperated)

Thanks very much

You will probably have better results if you used DVD2AVI to frame serve the Mpeg2 files to Tmpgenc, It is a Faster method and it usually is a More trouble Free method of encodeing Mpeg2 files...

Hello.

Has anyone found a way to use Xvid movies.

I'm trying to covert Xvid movies downloaded to DVD or Svcd but I keep getting invalid pointer .... error messages.

I use Virtual dub to split them into 2 and then use TmpgEnc. I've tried just making one DVD or 2 SVcd. The DVD using the standard setting's and skipping VirualDub. Or Svcd using cq65, 480x480 and 1800-4000.

Any suggestions. I've even tried downloading the Xvid codec...

Steven

You might try useing the "FFDShow" decoder to decode the Files instead of useing the XviD codec, this usually solves some of the Problem ascosiated with encodeing XviD files..

It seems now a lot of movies I download and try to convert are giving me error messages. Could it be I have install extra codec's?

I'll look at home and get the error message if it helps.

I've made 400 movies no problem and now I'm having error messages. Tried even reinstalling the program.

Steven

After uninstalling and installing FFshow Xvid is nolonger supported. I've looked to see if any other xvid codecs are installed but cant see any.

Xvid is listed in FFShow and I have installed it 2x.

Steven

After installing FFDshow does the XVID play in media player?

I have two problems the first and more serious of the two is that when i convert a mov file to mpeg the audio is missing, i downloaded the quicktime plugin, but all i have is video, the secoond problem is that when i play the converted file the aspect ratio looks like it's 16:9 and the mov source file isn't 16:9 i tried adjusting the aspect ratio before converting but no matter what i set it to the ratio stays 16:9, any help on these problems qould be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Well if you can"t get audio then extract the audio from the Mov file to a Wav file and use that as the audio source..as for the aspect ratio try setting the "Video arrange Method" to Fullscreen Keep aspect ratio" and if for some reason that doesn"t work try experimenting with the "Clip Frame" setting and Video arange methods...

sometimes the audio in quicktime movies is not extractable (to stop ppl copy the file?). Try rad video tools or capture audio directly using sound recorder soft like total recorder.

All problems solves thanks alot guys

Anyone no what to do when your system hangs?

ASF Files are extremely Error Prone because of the extremely high compression ratio, and when Tmpgenc encounters one of these errors it can freeze up or crash and that is what is Probably happening, you can try a tool called "ASF-Fix" to try to fix any errors in the File, and Raiseing the Direct show might help also...

why does all my mpegs after running tmpg get blocky?

Blockyness is a Sure sign that the Bitrate is Much too low, if you are doing Standard VCD"s then you will usually get Blockyness cuz the VCD standard uses a Really low bitrate...Also if you use the Resize to increase the Resolution too much this can cause Blockyness and so will low quality source files.The "Remove Block Niose" setting can help a Bit but increaseing the Bitrate is the only real was to eliminate the Blockyness...
