Hey Guys,

I'm new to TMPGEnc, but I can already tell that it's a pretty powerful tool. I'd like to know how to use it more in depth, which is why I'm asking here!

Here's my question.

I'm trying to convert flash movies (.swf) to mpeg, and the only way I can think of to do it is by converting them to .avi with Flashants swf2video, and from there using TMPGEnc to make the change from .avi to mpeg. Ideally, I'd like to get these flash movies onto a DVD, but for now svcd is fine. My problem is that when I convert the .avi files to mpeg2, they look fuzzy. What should I do? Change the resolution?

Also, when I try to use the DVD encoding, it splits the files up into a .m2v file and a .wav file. I know this is normal, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I'm sure you've all gotten this question a lot, and I'm sorry for asking it again, but how do I do it? I need the best quality possible!

Third, and lastly, what's the best way to burn completed avi to dvd conversions? I've got dvd x copy xpress, but that only allows you to copy dvds, not create new ones (unless I don't know how to use it right.)

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:

I did some searching and found out how to splice audio and video files together. That pretty much settles that question.

I'm still having video problems, though. Flash (by default) produces very crisp and clean video, which is what I want my final product to be on DVD. All I can get from TMPGEnc is fuzzy. What am I doing wrong? I use the wizard > Select DVD (NTSC) > Browse to my .avi file (which is crisp and clean) > click next > next > next > next. Then it starts encoding, and it's still fuzzy! I've got 60 minutes of flash video that I want to put on a DVD. I don't care how it gets done, only that it looks good in the end. Your help is appreciated!

with no answer in sight from any of you,
I did a bit of experimenting and partially solved my transfer problem.
Apparently a larger flash resolution to start with makes for a cleaner
mpeg after compression. I suppose I'm just stating the obvious.

I used DVD Author to make the necessary .vob files and burned it.
While it looks great on my TV, a decent sized chunk of the video is out
past where the TV displays. In other words, it got cut off.

How to I make the video fit on standard ntsc tvs?

Is anyone going to respond?
Come on, guys, I need help here.

cheers guys!

i just browsed the specs of xpress3. looks like a REALLY good prog. so i wanna report a typo-bug :)...

- on the specs-page, under -> Windows Media File （Audio） output setting:
- Audio CODEC Widnwos Media Audio 9 (Professional Lossless)

maybe someone could switch the 'dnwo' to an 'ndows' ;)...

sincerely yours,

I try DVD author 1.6, can burn multiple .mpg to DVD-R disc, it video/sound is ok, but when it is play on a standalone DVD player , there is no sound, why and how to fix this ??

maybe your using an mp2 codec for audio and youe stand alone doesn't support it
AC-3 or LPCM will work on all players
some support mp2
check out www.videohelp.com/articles for help

Ok, thanks.

Some DVD-player can play with sound now. But I find some .mpg sound are out-of-sync (slower), some are ok. The source .mpg do not have problem (view in PC)?

How to resolve out-of-sync problem, need ripple sound track to .wav ?

How do I get AVI file to play on a home dvd to tv player.
cna AVI be converted to be played.

Yes, with TMPGEnc. It will convert the AVI files to standard MPEG2 files for DVD player. You then can use authoring software, like DVD Author, to make the DVD from the MPEG2 files.

Demo versions of software are here to try out and buy:

Hi All,

I've got a problem with my beloved TMPGEnc-2.521.58.169-Free.

After some time..And I'm not sure that it's after a specific download, it just won't start. I can click all that I want on my shortcut, or on the .EXE directly, but all i'm gettin' is 3-4 sec. of hourglass, and then nothing...

Then I have to re-install my computer to use TMPGEnc - and that sucks..

System:Barton 2500+, All-In-Wonder 9000 GFX.

Anybody's got a clue ???

Delete 'TMPGEnc.ini' from the TMPG folder.

Sometime, TMPGEnc MPEG Editor cannot detect the correct video bitrate. It will be good if user can set the source video bitrate manually.

I have some clips which is 2300kbps mpeg-1 files encoded by Intervideo mpeg codec. But TMPGEnc MPEG Editor dectect them as 263kbps video. So when joining the clips, the re-encoded portion is very ugly.

fire up dvd2avi and start fram serving with vfapi so tmpeg just sees the raw frames and import the audio as a wav (dvd2avi will do that for you too)

Using TMPGEnc DVD writing tool in dvd author 1.5 or 1.6,
get the message "ordinal 3001 not found in module px.dll"
tried copying px.dll to dvd author directory and same thing.
Any ideas ???

I had the same problem with TEMPGEnc Author 1.6 when starting burning a DVD;

I got px.dll Version 1.8.34.500 from sonic solution and copied it into the programm folder of TMPGEnc and now it works fine (the dll in Windowssystem32 did not help!)

I am trying to import my mpeg 2 4:2:2 file but i keep getting an invalid sample format error code 0x80048002. Does anyone know why its rejecting my video? I only have the trial version, as obviously, i want to see if it will work. I am using it to join compatible MPEG files into one file.

MPEG2 4:2:2? That's HP@HL or 422P@ML, not MP@ML, maybe that's the reason

>I had this problem and fixed it by removing an ac3 filter.

I am using the Ace mega codec pack.

Using the ace dashboard, this is in the filter section, AC3 filter audio decoder 1.01a file AC3filter.ax.

I got the file name from Gspot.

Remove it using ace or use Gspot to change the merit so that it wont be used.

You can use Intervideo,Intervideo audio decoder 5.3.5.20 file Iviaudio.com or
Moonlight odio dekoda 1.26b4 file mlcom.ax.

Nero came with Nero digital audio decoder, file neaudio.ax. This also works.

Ace says that the moonlight is poor quality so I am using intervideo.

I have just downloaded the trial version of TMPGEnc Version 2.521 and am trying to convert OMA audio files to MP2 I can do this but when i play the converted file the sound goes the file carries on playing. so i wondering if this is because it ia a triel version.

No it's a protection with OMA files. The OMA decoder will only decode the first 30 seconds of the file.
You need to convert the OMA to CD audio or MP3 with Soundstage first.

How can i add an srt file into the mpeg so its saved as a single file

You want a Subtitle-Track?
In this case, you need a Tool like DVDLab PRO, DVDAuthor + DVDAuthor GUI or IFOEdit with SRTtoSUB.

Unfortunatly, TDA, the DVDAuthoring-Tool from Pegasys, is still not able to include Subtitles.

Hi,

I am getting the following error message when oupting files in Xpress 3.0:

'Invalid sample format 0x80048002'

Can anybody tell me why this is happening? Cheers

Bizt

had this same message.
does not occur using tmpgenc 2.5 plus.

same thing here.
Using TMPGenc 3 Express.
Was trying to output 2nd half of 2-part image.

look here for a possible answer - http://www.moviecodec.com/thread/3430.html

>I have same problem.
What is the deal with this software. I have yet to sucessfully encode and burn an AVI,Divx or Xvid to DVD with TMPGEnc express 3.0.
Either I get the same error as above , or the program just shuts down in the middle. Other programs (DVDSanta,WINAVI) work but I sure wish I could get my 50 bucks worth from this purchased software.
Hey support..... a little help please!

I am still pretty vague on this stuff myself but I found an answer to this at the URL offered by Tall Steve. The problem is that the AC3 audio codec filter doesn't appear to be compatible with TMPGEnc 3.0 and the process halts with the error when TMPGEnc tries to write the audio layer. I also had problems with previewing the .avi files in TMPGEnc which is another indicator that a compatible audio codec was available. I downloaded the ACE Mega Codecs Professional pack and installed the audio codec I needed from that.

The 'Invalid sample format 0x80048002' error looks to be caused by an audio codec problem when decoding a video+audio input file -- I've seen it happen with MP3 audio when ffdshow was installed.

To solve the problem, try the following:

Use Render in GSpot to find out which audio codec is being used, and then inhibit the use of that codec by uninstalling, disabling, or lowering its priority.

In the case of the MP3 codec in ffdshow, all that was needed was to use ffdshow -> Audio Filter Configuration to set the ffdshow MP3 codec to Disabled.

i have tried all that. ac3 is a caunsing the problem so i disabled it in ACE Codecs now I get this error.
