I've been playing around with tmpgenc express 3.0 to create a background image with audio to use as a menu in TDA. The audio is too loud as compared with the audio in my program.I am combing a bitmap image with pcm audio. How can I lower the audio level, nothing I have done so far seems to work. The audio in my program (vobs) is a little on the low side.
Hi
I am experiencing a very irritating problem at the moment - whenever I try to convert a video file to vcd format it freezes up the whole pc so that it has to be re-booted this happens aproxm. 5-60% into the converting process.
the strange thing is that I have been using TMPGEnc for more than 2 years (last 5 days ago) and this has never happened before, now it happens everytime - I have tried changing the WFAPI plug in settings, cleaning up the hard drive, running all sorts off registry cleaning tools, remowed spyware and virus checks all to no effect. It doesn't matter either if I change the file I am working on it happens with all of the 20 files I have on the pc and the strangest thing is that i downloaded X-video converter and it that crashes too.
I have 2,4Ghz pentium processor and there is more than 20 Gb harddisc space left to work on.
can anybody come with asuggestion to what I should do next or what is wrong
thanks Jens
Hi
I am trying to convert a XVid AVI file and WAV sound file, into a SVCD file but when I playback the converted file the video motion isn't fluid, it hubbles (or "pauses") about every second.
The AVI file is 1,01 Gb and the Wav is 1,16Gb. Could it be the size? I converted a, smaller, DivX file to SVCD with NO problem at all.
Any ideas?
Gratefull for your help.

Can anyone advise. I have been using TMPGEnc Xpress to convert AVI to DVD format (or rather MPEG2) ready for putting through DVD Author and creating a DVD.
I have a 2.7ghz Athlon processor with 1gig of RAM and to convert 2 AVi files of say 120meg each is taking in the region of 8-9 hours.
Don't focus on the AVI file size, it can be very misleading in determining how much processing you are asking to be done by any format converter. Major factors are frame size conversions, frame rate conversions, be aware that some audio filters require re-encodeing the entire audio. If its an AVI to DVD conversion, you are more than likely doubling the size of each frame, may be changing the frame rate (NTSC/PAL), and more than likely the entire must also be decoded and re-encoded while maintaning synch with the video, and finally compressing the whole thing to your specified bit rate. Believe me 8 hours is not that unusual.
I am trying to convert some vcd files to dvd using TMPGEnc 2.5 wixard but have encountered 2 particular problems. Firstly, some files converted lose the right channel audio(only allows left channel audio). The original vcd files allow both left & right channel options. Video is fine. Secondly, some files completely lose all audio. Any suggestions as to what I might try please?
Why are you converting?
Just author the files as they are. There is no need to re-encode anything as they are already DVD compatible and you will maintain quality.
I have no problems using TMPGEnc1.6 for most of my vcd files burning them onto a dvd disc with options for selecting left or right channels available as in the original vcd. I am converting some vcd files because these particular ones have errors in them like "A video sequence header is necessary for every GOP in standard DVD. The video sequence header is incorrect....." and "There is no audio." Using TMPGEnc 2.5 allows me to burn these onto a dvd but that's where the problems arise.
>"A video sequence header is necessary for every GOP in standard DVD. The video sequence header is incorrect....."
No need to re-encode for that either.
Just simply load the MPEG into the 'merge&cut' tool in the MPEG tools, select 'MPEG1 VCD' and run it.
TMPG will add the required sequence headers automatically.
>"There is no audio."
No need to re-encode the video for that.
Normally TMPG DVD author will give you the option to re-encode the audio to a suitable format. If not then just use TMPGenc to encode the audio only to MP2 and then mux with the video using the 'simple multiplexer'
I have a avi movie that I'd like to put on DVD. The framerate is 23.9, and the length is 1:39:4. When I go to encode using the project wizard the file is too large for DVD so I chose to compress the audio and do the whole (ES)Video only thing. The problem is when I want to choose the framerate there is no 23.9 framerate (internally 29.9) as there was in the project wizard. After encoding the file at just 23.9, it can't open in DVD Author. I figured that since I am not using the project wizard I'm not able to specify that it is a film file instead of a video file. I;ve searched the BBS and couldn't find anything so please let me know if I can get around this without having to convert it to a diff. framerate. (I'm sure I'm just overlooking some small thing)
i have a movie file that is 640x272... when i play it in my dvd player it doesnt show up in the middle of the screen.. it shows up at the top..
.. i was wondering why its not showing up in the center. when i view it on my computer it shows up fine but there i cannot figure out how to make it work on my dvd player. i have used 1:1 // also 16:9 // i set the motion search precision to highest(best quality)..
640x272 is far away from the standards (720x480 in NTSC). And you can not compare a PC to a standalone.
Your Player is showing you, what you tell it to show: Only a part of the full screen.
Hi
If you are using the Wizard, in the third or fourth step there is a button named "Expert". Click it (if you're not, just click the "Setting" button on the bottom of the screen). Go to the "Advanced" tab and in the "Video Arrange Method" change to "Center - Keep Aspect Ratio".
This should solve it.

The DVD is MPEG1 and therfore will likely use PCM or MP2 as the audio.
If it's MP2 which is most likely then have a look in the ''streams.txt' file that Smartripper created. Find the number of the audio track you require then in DVD2AVI select that track number then under 'channel format' select 'MPEG audio' then under 'MPEG audio' select 'Demux all tracks'.
Then run as normal. You can then just mux the audio with the re-encoded video using the MPEGtools.
