Hi!

I'm new to all this Video stuff and I hope that you guys can accept that, so please don't bite my head of...;)...

I have one of those new gadgets in my hand, it's a MP4 player and I wonder how to convert let's say a mpeg, avi or mov to the format used in this device. The file extension it uses is *.mpv. I have tried to follow your discussions on this board but a lot of it is above my head I’m afraid.

So If some of you guys can give me a hint on how to use TMPGEnc to convert a simple mpeg to *.mpv I would be very thankful, If it's possible at all..:)

Best Regards
Kennet

PS. Please, keep it simple...

Will it play any MPEG4 format?
If so then use Virtualdub for creating your MPEG 4's which is designed for AVI.

You can use TMPG if you wish, but you need an MPEG4 codec installed such as XVID then you can encode to MPEG4.

No I'm sorry to say that it only works with the *.mpv format. I have one
working video file, a file that comes with the player default. I've tried to
play it using different software's in my PC but nothing outside the
MP4-player can read the file format, It seems.

I have found people at several places asking the same questions about how to
convert a more commend file format into this strange *.mpv format. It seems
as if it's not possible to find any converter at all on the net. I've been around
everywhere to try and find something.

Should this really be so extremely difficult, or is it me who have been
looking in the wrong places.

I'm more then thankful for all tips I can get....
Best regards

Kennet

PS.
Here you have the device I'm trying to figure out...
http://www.etoy.se/default.asp?var1=DI-18&visit=DI-18

Can you send me a portion of this file or upload it somewhere, say a couple of megs and I'll find out what it is?

That would be great if you could take a look at the file. I don't see your mail address here at the BBS, but you can send a mail to my address and I'll zip the file and I’ll send it to you in a replay-mail.

The zipped file is 5.18 MB in size, I hope that's okay. It's difficult to take a smaller piece since I have no means of edit or even to view the video outside the MP4-player.

Finally I only want to say that I’m very thankful that you are prepared take some of your time to look at this problem.

Best Regards.

When I join mpg files, about 75% of the time I get this high pitched kind of click sound where the 1st file ends and the 2nd starts.

How can I stop that annoying sound from showing up in my joined mpgs?

try cutting 1 sec off the beginning and end of each clip then join them, the click might me the sound couuting off then on at the end of each clip.

Hi

Can anyone tell me how to do the following in TDA:

1) first play a track #1 with copyright warnings etc, disable track skipping, plays for 30 sec or so upon inserting disc in player

2) next show menus for track #2's chapters

3) optionally cause track #2 to automatically start playing if no menu is selected for 1 minute

My problem seems to be that I cant see a way to have track #1 have no menu.

Any tips MUCH appreciated.

I am trying to convert Quicktime .MOV file into .mpg file using tmpgenc version 2.524.63.181, free version I downloaded. I got qt plugin and I can open Quicktime file and run transfer and make .MPG file but .MPG I make has no sound. Original Quicktime .MOV file has sound but it does not convert. Please help

Use quicktime or graphedit to convert the audio to a wav first.

I don't have ful version of Quicktime only trial version. Version that I have does not have save option so I can not export sound from .mov file. I tried downloading this graphic software but that does not allow me to export audion either. Do you have any other suggestions?

Use dBpowerAMP Music Converter R11.5 and the appropriate plugins for Quicktime to convert the Quicktime .MOV file to a Windows .WAV file. Use the Quicktime .MOV file as your Video Source and the Windows .WAV file as your Audio Source when using TMPGenc. This should solve your problem.

You can find Use dBpowerAMP Music Converter (and a variety of plug-ins) for free at: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm

dBpowerAMP Music Converter is also an invaluable free application for converting any audio format that you can think of including .MP2 files in VCD and DVD formats.

I've used TMPGEnc 2.5 with Tmpegbatchlist to encode loads of .mov files to mpeg with no problems with sound however recently the sound has stopped encoding for no apparent reason. I suspect it followed an update to my quicktime software. I've tried reinstalling but no luck. This is a real pain as I need to re-encode from .mov to mpeg to put my camera movies on dvd. It may end up being better to just buy another camera that doesn't use .mov format!

PLEASE spefify the version of tmpeg you are using so i can better help you , there are major diffrences in howto get things done beetween 2.5 and 3 so if you tell me you version , i will better gear your answer

I have the same problem but a little bit different. Trying the trial version of tmpgenc xpress is impossible to load any xvid file.
The codec by koepy is regularry installed on the system.
Now i try to unistall the software and xvid codec in safe mode and reinstall again in safe mode.
This promev never i had use other software as mainconcept or CCE
No support from pegasys for solving this problem.

I had a problem with tmpgenc 3.0 xpress..... even though i had the following codecs installed: ffdshow, xvid, divx - I could not open ANY xvid AVI into the program. It was extremely frustrating as I had the same setup on my old PC and everything worked.

After some tinkering about I realised it may be FFDShow causing the problem. What I actually did to fix it was to uninstall all of the codecs mentioned above, reboot, and then re-install ONLY the xvid codec - this appears to work fine in tmpgenc xpress now.

hope this helps.

Is TMPGEnc 2.5 Free supporting OMDL AVI ? And the Plus Version ? In case the latter support it, where could I downloaded it?

Thx

Do you mean openDML?
In that case yes.

I am trying to convert files, and I get an error message saying that my file is not supported, what can I do to fix this? Let me know.

I used this program succesfully one time but when I later wanted to encode another AVI file I got the same error message:cannot open file or unsupported file. What can we do? Somebody please respond.


Thanks

Download and install FFDSHOW.
If that doesn't solve the problem then change the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' in the VFAPI plugins to 2.

I use Morgan multimedia codec to capture avi's,the older tmpgenc accepts these avi's.but can only output to ntsc dvd mpgs and pal vcd.The newer versions of tmpenc can output to pal dvd but don't accept my morgan multimedia captured avis, only rgb ?.it is too time consuming to convert in my older tmpgenc to ntsc mpg and then open the ntsc mpg with the latest tmpenc and convert that to pal.WHY can't my latest tmpenc open my avi's so i can make pal dvd format files

I have the tsunami mpeg video encoder express and have managed to convert my files to mpeg to make them smaller but when I play them back there seems to be about a 2 second delay on the sound?? How can I rectify this?
