Bug report - TE25 - Crashing at end of conversion to AVI No.37217
Chan Faunce  2003-06-02 10:35:38 ( ID:mouhmtyp1vl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have been using TMPGEnc for about 9 months now, and for the first 7 didn't have any problems. In the last 2 however, when I convert an MPG to AVI it will run fine until the very end (under 3 sec. to go, maybe when trying to close the file). This happens about 3/4 the time. I've tried to encode to Divx5, MS MPEG-4, Huffyuv, and Divx :) MPEG4-fast (or slow) motion, all with the same results.

I have a P4 2GHZ, 512Meg, using WinXP and TMPGenc 2.59 through 2.511
These crashes have caused a total lock-up of the system and on restart system is can be unstable. Once my HD lost all file structure and partion info.

I'm not sure where to look for the problem, any help would be provided.

If there is any more info you need just let me know

Thank you.



Question - TE25 - TMPGEnc Encodes to VCD with Middle of Movie MISSING No.37213
retroperv  2003-06-02 08:40:47 ( ID:zwskygmtpfr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]


I asked this recently but didnt receive any replies, so I'm trying again. It's certainly one of the stranger TMPGEnc problems I've seen.

I've been using TMPGEnc for a long time, this is the first time I've seen something like this. I'm converting an average quality MPG to NTSC VCD MPG.

When the conversion was complete, both files showed the same length (20 minutes) and had the same beginning and end scenes. BUT, the VCD file was smaller than the average quality original, making me suspicious. It turns out a huge chunk of the middle of the video was MISSING from the VCD version.

I checked in settings to confirm that I hadnt set TMPGEnc to only encode a certain time frame. Everything is fine there, it's set to encode the entire video.

I'm lost, any suggestions will be appreciated.

Well I don"t know what it can be, But through a Little bit of Deductive reasoning you can find out if the Problem lies in Tmpgenc or in your AVI file, If this is the Only file that behaves like this then it would seem that the Problem is just with this File, and if it is then there is Probably something wrong with it, which is Probably the case especially if it is a Downloaded file, as Downloaded files are easilly corrupted...You can try useing "Virtual Dub" to make a Copy of the file and see if that helps or use It to "Frameserve" the File to Tmpgenc which would be your Best bet to try...


retroperv  2003-06-03 07:44:31 ( ID:zwskygmtpfr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]


I'll try that, thank you.

Question - TE25 - I can't encode a divx movie to mpeg 1 No.37211
MATTJOHNSON_ANNATX  2003-06-02 04:56:17 ( ID:ujqafsxyaag )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

How do I make a divx movie into a mpeg for adobe premiere? I tried to do it on the tmpgenc and it says 100% complete but then i can't find it on my computer. It makes it .mcf file not mpeg. What do I do, I have no idea? please help


Minion  2003-06-02 05:29:47 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What do you mean "For Adobe Premier"?? All you have to do Is Follow the steps in the Wizard and when you get the the last stage of the wizard remember were your file is going to be...OR, You can just load in your File then click the "Load" button and navigate to the VCD Template of your Choice and Double ckick it..Now just Press "Start" and it should encode, The "MCF" File is a Template file, you would only get one of these if you Saved a Template...



Question - TE25 - Illegal MPEG video stream??? No.37208
William  2003-06-01 20:00:24 ( ID:g5zhfj7waif )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When I use the Merge & Cut function to divide a large MPEG file into two, the first one comes out fine, but when I go the second part, an error message comes out "Illegal MPEG video stream". I try to change the Range for the second part but this message still pops out and stops the operation. Can the expert help me out? Thanks a lot!!!

William


Minion  2003-06-01 22:05:01 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well there are no Magic settings in the "Merge & Cut" that will make it work Properly when it doesn"t want to so the Only other option is to use a Totally Different Mpeg editor as the One in Tmpgenc can be Pretty Buggy at times, If you are Editing Mpeg2 files there are a couple of freeware Mpeg2 editors Like "Chopper XP" and "Mpeg2Cut" but for mpeg1/VCD"s I can"t think of a Freeware one right now But I do have one I can send you if you e-mail me..

Question - TE25 - Audio Problem No.37204
Aligator  2003-06-01 19:24:23 ( ID:erf0.muwo/h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi Minion, manage to get all the files you suggested and things worked pretty fine. But then think a file's audio is sort of out of hand.

When i used ac3 fix and after the encoding is done. It says the file has error of -2bytes. So is there any remedy for it. Cos simple multiplex it through tmpegenc had some message stating the file will not play well.


Minion  2003-06-01 21:56:40 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well All I can sugest is to use a Different Muxer to Mux the AC3 file to the Video, I have had good results with "BBMpeg" and it is Freeware...


Aligator  2003-06-02 03:36:51 ( ID:erf0.muwo/h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

One more problem is that, after going through ac3 fix, there is an error of -2 bytes. And after i encode it to mp2 using heachac3e, the mp2 file has no sound at all. Cos it is quite puzzling to me. So i wonder if the -2 bytes error that is costing the problem.

Question - TE25 - Can not open, or unsupported error message No.37202
Thunderthumbs  2003-06-01 18:28:02 ( ID:pgxjjhknhl. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

After reinstalling my computer I cannot longer open any type of movie files in TMPGEnc v.2.510.49.157.

I have another computer running the exact version of TMPGEnc and here I can without any problems open the files that will not open on the other PC.

I have read people talking about plug-ins and have checked that the priority on the two machines are the same.

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?


Regards,

Thunderthumbs


Minion  2003-06-01 21:53:26 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Make sure you have all the Correct Codecs installed, If you install the "FFDShow Decoder" it will Decode allmost all Formats so it is better to install it than a Bunch of codecs...And Make sure the "Direct Show File reader" is set to "1" or "2" in the "Vfapi Plugins"....

Minion  2003-06-01 21:51:30 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well Maybe tell us the Specs of the AVI file you are encodeing and the settings you are useing to encode the file, and are you just Burning with Nero?? No encodeing with Nero??



Question - TE25 - split file No.37197
dloffice  2003-06-01 04:10:14 ( ID:lkhkpbqhdmc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Can someone tell me the process used to split the mpeg file so it can be recorded on to two CDs when the file is too large for a single CD. Thanks.


Minion  2003-06-01 05:39:42 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It is simple ,Go to "File" to "Mpeg Tools" to "merge & Cut" and the Choose "Video-CD" from the DropDown menu, then Click "Edit" and then use the Slider and the Mark In and Mark Out buttons to Choose the Begining and end of each Part you want to save, and from here I"m sure you can Figure it out...

Question - TE25 - Converting PAL to NTSC No.37195
Jay  2003-06-01 03:29:10 ( ID:ntj2jrp2dvr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I want to convert a PAL formatted file to NTSC with DVFilm's Atlantis however I only have mpeg2 files and I need avi. I've tried DVD2AVI v.1.77.3 to try and get to avi however the quality is horrible. I'm not sure if it's a codec problem, setting problem or if im trying to create the impossible. I'm using the MPEG-4 Fast motion compressor to create the avi but the file comes out like garbage. Any suggestions? TIA


Minion  2003-06-01 05:36:20 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The Best way would be to Frame serve the Mpeg file to the "NTSC/Pal converter", But I"m pretty Sure that the "Atlantis DV Film Converter" will only accept DV Files and will only output DV Files and encodeing your AVI to DV will Totally Ruin the Quality of your Movie..You would be best to either Use an encoder Like "ProCoder" Cuz it can do Proper NTSC/Pal conversion directly to AVI or to Exelent Quality Mpeg1/2..Or if you know how to use "AVISynth" it can do it while Frameserveing..Other High end editing Programs can do it also like Premier and Vegas Video 4..But if Atlantis does accept Regular AVI files you can Use DVD2AVI to make a D2V project file out of the Mpeg file, then use the "VFAPI Converter" to Convert the D2V into a Dummy AVI file that you can load into Atlantis to convert to NTSC then you can use something like AVI-Mux to Mux the audio to the NTSC AVI file....



Question - TE25 - avi - XviD error No.37193
gkee  2003-06-01 02:21:32 ( ID:y77qlefrx8m )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am getting error message saying File"C:......filename.avi" can not open, or unspported.

This message is happening for many of my XviD files. I can see the movie using Media Player, but TMPEG doesn't recognise it. Is there something I missed for the installation.

Help & Thanks!


Minion  2003-06-01 05:24:49 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well First off you will Probably get an error while encodeing if you use the XviD codec to decode your file so you should install the "FFDShow Decoder" cuz Tmpgenc Likes this decoder better than the Actual XviD codec, and to get your Files Loaded into Tmpgenc go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct Show File Reader" to "1" or "2", this should get the Files loaded...



Question - TE25 - Aspect ratio - stuck on first page No.37187
Richard Browne  2003-05-31 23:09:47 ( ID:euen5nggoll )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have an DivX AVI which is 640x360 pixels. After loading this file on the second wizard screen TMPGEnc leaves the Aspect ratio at 1:1 (VGA). Isn't this wrong? 640x360 is 16:9 right? Is that why I'm supposed to set?

What exactly is it the aspect ratio off? There is no explanation and no help in the documentation.

Why would TMPGEnc even need me to set this? Why can't it work it out for itself?


Minion  2003-06-01 05:21:36 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

No, 640+360 is 1:1 ,640+352 would be 16:9 , Well that is what My aspect ratio Calculator says and What Tmpgenc"s aspect ratio calculator is saying also..Tmpgenc will usually choose the Correct Source Aspect ratio, But on the Output aspect ratio you can set it to what ever you want But 4:3 would be best if you are watching on a Regular TV....


Richard Browne  2003-06-01 23:47:23 ( ID:euen5nggoll )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Huh? That makes no sense to me at all.

640 divided by 360 is exactly 16 divided by 9. 640/352 does not equal 16/9.


Minion  2003-06-02 03:31:58 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well That is what My aspect Ratio Calculator says, I"m only Quoteing it..The "Source" Aspect Ratio Is set By Tmpgenc, the Output you can set...


Kika  2003-06-02 13:10:43 ( ID:gxmkoa4dlnj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

640x360 is 1:1 VGA-Source!
It's a 16:9-Movie (DAR) with 1:1 PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio).


Richard Browne  2003-06-02 21:44:39 ( ID:euen5nggoll )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for replying. Is there any info on what this means? Documentation, FAQ.. ?



Bug report - TDA1 - A./V sync gets lost when a damaged video frame occurs. No.48590
jdiner  2003-05-31 19:59:24 ( ID:vntqcd6mz3n )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

This is a great little program. It works on some non-standard mpeg files that I have that nothing else will. A/V sync is kept even in files that have been edited. This is truly great.

However, there is always a however isn't there... :) In several mpeg files that I have there is a damaged video frame. I do not know how exactly this picture is damaged but it is. In my PowerDVD player it shows up as a frame that is only partially right and the rest is garbage. Then in the original mpeg it gets back on sync and everything is fine.

In the output test DVD files from this tool however it is then off on A/V sync for the rest of the playing time of the file.

It looks like you guys are most definately tracking the audio timestamps as this all works with editing but that you are not tracking the Video ones. Could you please add a fix so that a damaged video frame is not off forever after that. If you can I would bet that many many tivo users would jump on board...

Thanks,
--jdiner
