I noticed that the highest sampling rate for video is 9200kbps. I would like to set this higher. I am encoding AVI files that are about an hour in length. Even when I use the 9200kbps setting the resulting file is much smaller than 4gig. If could set the sampling rate higher I think I could achieve better quality for one hour length files. Is there a way to adjust this to a higher rate?

You can try using "MPEG Output" template instead of "DVD" template

Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, I tried playing with all those options. That does affect aspect ratio, position, etc., but I essentially still have the same problem. What should be a full-screen or wide-screen image, like the original file, still appears as a smaller image in the center of the screen. Has anyone else had this problem?

Sorry, wrong thread!
Just ignore my last post.

alright ...

when i use the wizard in tmpgenc to add the video and audio file it hangs at 9% while judging the field order .......i used the same file be4 with no problem

Hi, I'm new to video conversion, and am having a problem with TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress. I'm trying to convert avi/mpeg files into VCD/SVCDs. The problem is, that no matter what I seem to do, TMPGEnc resizes and centers my videos, so they display as a fraction of the original size and surrounded by borders.

I've tried manually resizing, cropping the image, changing the resize options, but get the same result. More confusingly, TMPGEnc previews the file as being fullscreen (or nearly so, for widescreen videos) like the original, but the final result is just a small box of video in the center of my screen or TV. I've used older versions of TMPGEnc before, and had no trouble. I'm sure this is some obvious newbie error on my part, but i'm pretty frustrated at the moment. Any advice on what the problem is and how I can fix it?

Thanks!

I agree that the preview is not as good as the free version (2.5).

Perhaps, you can try setting the "Image position" option to "Full screen" or "Full Screen (No Margin)". The "keep aspect ration" checkbox might also affect your output.

just saw that the JA version of 2.524 Plus is out.
Does anyone know if there will be a english Plus version as well?

The English one is there now.

I have taken several short movies and am putting them onto one DVD. Everything seems to be working fine except I cannot return to the main menu with the menu button on my remote once one of the movies has began playing. I can skip forward and back between movies though.

Is this function not available with the software?

Than you don't have a Track-Menu, only Main-Menu. Use the Title-Button, not Menu.

Hi there. I am trying to locate a TMPGenc template called KVCD-KMOD (that's the only name I have for it) and having absolutely no luck whatsoever. I have seen the KVCD templates for TMPGenc on the kvcd.net site and this one is not there. If anyone knows where I can locate this particualr template, I'd be most appreciative for the heads up. Thanks in advance.

I am getting an unrecognized exception while processing the AVS file. It is complaining about the MPEG2Source line.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong

Any help would be appreciated
thanks

I used TMPGenc to create a DVD with menus. It played fine on my PC using POWERDVD. But, when I try to play on a standard DVD Player (Panasonic RV31), the disc is not recognized.

I can burn the DVD without Menus and it plays fine, so something about the menus is preventing the DVD from geing recognized.

Thanks

I can't save edits as mpeg files rather it saves as TMPGenc which other programs cannot open. The solution I used was to batch recode which gave me an mpeg file

i want a part out of the middle of a file so i use source range, but when it converts there is no audio???

Hi,

I'm trying to encode mpeg-1 from avi.

The output file is bigger than the input file in ~25%.

Can I configure TMPGEnc to make a smaller mpg file?

Thanks

An MPEG 1/2 file will always be bigger than an AVI if you want to maintain quality. You can reduce the size by reducing the bitrate, but the output will look crap.

Wrong. A MPEG-1 is encoded at CBR therefore the size is 10 MB per minute (compulsory). Therefore 1 CD-R approx 80' of VCD movie is compulaory.
You either must use the KVCD templetes or split the movie into 2 (for a 80 min < length < 160 min movie).

Can anyone help please...here's the situation. (BTW I am new to this)

I have a series of avi files which I want to convert to mpeg so I can watch it on my TV. On recommendation, I downloaded and installed TMPGEn. Converted one file (using defaults). Pictures are perfect but sadly :-( no sound

I have checked the posts in this forum and so far I cannot see one straight answer (remember I am new to this)

How do I get the audio? I asked for system (video & audio) when I encoded the avi file and yet no sound.

If I can stream the audio into a wav file using something esle, how do i combine the 2 files into a "working" mpeg file that I can burn to a CD?

Can someone pretty please give me a step by step instruction so I can reach my goal. Thanks

Use the following guide. It will definately help you
