I have a problem whether I singly encode a file or try and bacth encode. When the encoder has finished, the percentage show as 100% done. The encoder just keeps on running. I cant abort as TMPgenc ignores it. I have to kill TMPGenc, the mpeg uis usuable but this problem stops me doing any batch work.
I have tried changing plugin settings but these have no effect.
This is normal. TMPG is still performing some processes such as writing header data into the file. Just wait and it will finish, this can take up to a few minutes sometimes.
I used TMPGEnc 2.5 free version to convert a wmv to mpeg. I used the wizzard and didn't change any of the settings, used all defaults. Once encoded I used Nero to burn an SVCD on CD-R. The CDR won't play in WinDVD or my stand alone DVD player. It will play in windows media player. I want to play it in the standalone, which I know plays CDR's and CDRW's. According to the manual it plays VCD 1.1 or 2.0. Dosen't mention SVCD.
Anyone know what I need to do to make the SVCD play in WinDVD and the standalone DVD player??
It's a Toshiba SDK730. I bought it at Costco, very inexpensive.
It appears as though the DVD player dosen't support SVCD. I made a VCD that played with no problems. The quality was actually better than I expected. Neither the VCD nor the SVCD play in WinDVD 4. Info I've found on WinDVD indicated that it should play both.

I have DVD Author 1.6 and I'm looking for a solution where DVD Author automatically can insert for each scene a chapter in DVD-Menu.
It would save more time when DVD Author has a scene detection for chapters and after that I remove unwanted chapters.
Is there a solution ?
I think I have done at some point in Windows 98 but now I just can't seem to do it regardless of what I do and set the priority levels in Tmpgenc Options.
I need to share some of the MPEG2 files I have created with TMPEGENC Plus 2.5 (registered) from AVI files. I want to make sure that people who get the files can view them, so I am thinking I need to tell them where to download the correct codec if their system doesn't already have it. I am using the TMPEGENC CODEC that came with the software.
Is there a place for people to download the codec from TMPGENC?
Is there another free CODEC that will work?
Should I not use TMPEGENC's codec and instead use another free codec to encode the files so that others can view them?
What do you mean you are using TMPG's codec?
TMPG's codec can only decode MPEG2 files that are loaded into it. It does not get registered with windows and cannot used to play back MPEG2 content with a mediaplayer.
All your friends need is a capable MPEG2 player of which there are several. 2 good free solutions are Media Player Classic and VLC player.
Both are self contained apps that don't need installing and quite small especially Media player classic which is a self contained .EXE and plays nearly any format yet only weighs in at under 1.5MB!
I mean that when I send these short videos to friends they need the same codec I used to create the video. For example if I encode the video with main concept's MPEG2 CODEC, then send the file to a friend, they won't be able to open it without that same CODEC (even if they have WinDVD, Media PLayer, or whatever). So, how do I make sure they can open movies I create with the TMPGENC encoder? What codecs work? Which ones don't? Where can they download the ones that do?
No, no, you've got it completely wrong. It does not matter which codec was used to encode it. You don't need the same codec it was encoded with, that would be just daft.
As long as you have a compatible MPEG2 codec to play it back then it will play fine.
Of course WinDVD will play it. It will play any MPEG2 files no matter which encoder created them as will the players that I already suggested previously.
Hmmm. Sounds great in theory. But odd because some MPEG2's I have rendered with Mainconcept's encoder play on my home pc but not my laptop. Windows media player errors it cannot find codec. However, it plays videos encoded by TMPEGENC fine. Maybe its just a media player bug??
I understand. Unfortunately Media Player is the defacto tool people use, and is a pain in the butt for all who distribute MPEG2 files commercially for playback on the PC. I wish there was another standard that people would adopt. <sigh> Maybe version 10 will solve some problems.
Use Media Player Classic (it's not made by Microsoft!) or VLC (like Ashy suggested). Both of them are including a good MPEG2-Decoder.
You can also use ffdshow als Universal-Decoder for all kinds of MPEG (from 1-4).
Well it worked, but it turned a 673MB avi + a 64KB srt into a 980MB avi!
The explanation is that I have a DivX DVD player but it does not play subs for foreign films (a friend's player only needs a .sub or a .srt on the disc on the same level as the avi and it auto-plays both movie and subs). What I'm looking for is a way to put subs on to foreign movies but keep the resulting file size small enough to fit on a single CD, thus saving a bit of money each time I burn.
Is there any way to keep the resulting file size down without losing quality?
same here. I can play *.rmvb file can play in Real Player 10. I have realaudiosplitter.ax registered. Tmpgenc can open the *.rmvb and encode. At the end of the encoding, only about 0.5 second of the MPEG video clip has audio in it. I round up has to de-multiplex the MPEG file into *.m2v and *.mp2 and trash the *.mp2 part. It has no audio in it except the first 0.5 second. I have to rip the audio portion of the *.rmvb and multiplex *.m2v with the *.wav that I ripped. That is a long process.
I would like to know why is there no audio when the *.rmvb file was first imported into Tmpgenc. Anybody knows the answer, I would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
