Hey. I've got a quirky little problem that really gets on my nerves. When playing back my SVCD of my latest startrek enterprise TV-Cap on the DVD player, I cant fast forward the video without it resetting its location. Meaning that whenever I try and skip a segment via ff X4 or above, the DVD player resets the video and starts from 0:00 :)

If I do a X2 FF, the player will show the scene in double time, but when I press play to bring it back to normal speed, it does the same thing as previously mentioned and resets the video.

I dont know whats going on. but it only happenes on my DVD player, and not on the computer.

This could just simply be related to YOUR player only, some are just like that, but it can also happen when using certain burning software.
Which software are you using to burn and what is the model of your player?

I'm using Nero Burning Rom. Do you know of any other programs that I could try out?

Nero has been know to cause this problem with certain machines.
VCDeasy can apparantly correct this error, unfortunately VCDeasy is no longer free, but the last free version is still available and is more than adequate for burning VCD/SVCD.
You can download VCDEasy v1.1.5.2 here:

After making a DVD in TMPGEnc, and play the dvd on my tv, the picture seems to stutter, or skip along when the scenes pan or camera moves.
Is it a setting I have wrong?
I use the Wizard to do my set up and my system is fairly modern. P4 @ 2.5 gig...512 ram and lots of HD space.
Thanks

It sounds Like the Wrong Field order...If you load your source file into tmpgenc useing the Wizard Tmpgenc should analize your File for the correct field order and set it accordingly....Cheers

guys iv been trying to copy a movie of my pc onto a dvd to watch on my dvd downstairs, i have been trying for weeks now and with no success i have loads of software but nothing works i also have nero 6 but im screaming here hope some 1 can help me thank guys

OK, nice..., and what is the problem? I can't read your mind, and i don't have prophetic talent....

You have a Movie... What kind of Movie? AVI, MPEG, what ever? DivX, DV, MKV, MPEG2...?

What Programs do you use? And what exactly are you trying to do?

ok first of no need for sarcastic comments i have never tried anything like this b4 i have converted avi to mpeg i have managed to burn a movie and it had no sound so now im in the process of trying to sort that too using tmpgenc author of which i didnt know i had to have 1 b4 i put up this S.O.S . i ty 4 ur reply and if u can direct me in anyway i would be greatfull. ANY 1 out there that can make a program so u just click 3 boxes and its done let me know ty . all help greatly received :~)

You did not answer any of my questions, so NOBODY will be able to help you.

TMPGEnc ist the Encoder, TMPGEnc DVD Author is the Authoring program which needs the Output from the Encoder.
The Encoder can't handle AVIs with VBR-Audio correctly, so if this is you problem, you have to use VirtualDub to decode the Audio-Part first to WAV.

I'm sorry i have converted from avi to mpg then to m2v by using tmpgenc and then used tmpgencAuthor to burn it off but with no sound :~( does that make sence to you.? ,so i have to get virtual dub to do the audio !ok i got that! also it says add a track which i cant seem to get ? but i can get the chapters ? so if this is any help to you to help me?? i hope it does .and i hope you can :~)ty

Sounds to me like you just need to not encode to elementary streams (m2v, wav, mp2,...).

When using the encoder, select it to make a "System" file (video and audio).

m2v is only video

M peg
2
V ideo

You just need the audio to go with it.

Encode to a system file (mpg). DVD Author should be able to use mpg.

Hint: In the encoder, encode your audio to 48000Hz, 224 Bits. This will allow you to not have to have DVD Author re-encode the audio. Thus, the DVD creation will be much faster.

Any other questions. Email me at michaelb79@hotmail.com.

Royster, don't all theese people make it sound complicated. I do what you want to do, download a movie, convert it and write to dvd, play dvd on your dvd linked to your TV.

First get cucusoft avi-dvd software www.cucusoft.com easily converts the program to m2v. Much easier I find than any other software and works every time.

Sececond use tmpenc dvd author to create the dvd files and also to write the dvd.

Third make sure your TV dvd player is dvd-r compatible, older models will not play dvd-r discs.

You won't need any instructions to do any of this, took me ten minutes to get it going.

P.S. latest version of tmpgenc dvd author allows batch conversion, great product and worth registering.

Hello

I am new to TMPGEnc.
I would like to know if it's possible to add background music to an mpeg file
without deleting the existing audio on the file.

thanks very much

You need an audio editor not TMPG to do this.

My source AVI file is 23.976fps. I converted a portion of it to MPEG at the same frame rate. It played fine on the computer. But on my DVD player, the audio is jerky. Why is that? What would be the consequences if I converted it to MPEG at 29.97fps? Will there be jerky audio or anything?

Which MPEG format MPEG1 or MPEG2, what bitrate did you use?

I am making an XVCD. I used MPEG1 with a bitrate of 2520 kbits/sec. Weird? It works out beautifully on my player.

It could be because your Bitrate is Far to high for VCD and if your Player Only supports VCD it Probably only has a 1x or 2x speed drive in it which might be a Little slow for reading the High Bitrates you are useing....Cheers

I converted it to 29.97fps at the same bitrate and it played fine! Yay!

>I converted it to 29.97fps at the same bitrate and it played fine! Yay!

I doubt it plays fine, you can't frame rate convert with TMPG, you will get jerky playback. Sort of like little stutters on moving objects.

But it does plays fine. Everything looks wonderful and no jerky playback.

Hi, I am new to this program and would like to ask a question. When I run this program, and input all that is needed "P3Package.dll" pops out ! What shouuld I do ?

Thanks

Go to this ...http://www.dvdrhelp.com/forum/archive/t112177.html..I had the same problem and did what they said and it fixed it.

Stop trying to run TMPG from the zip.
You need to extract 'ALL' of the files first for it to work, that is what they are there for.

as i try to run tmpgenc i get error to ntdll.dll
sometimes happens when i first boot it other times when i start to encode
ive tryed adding a new dll file but as windows uses it it wont let me
it used to work ive even restored pc to a time it was working but still same prob
im running win xp athlon barton 2.5 1 gig pc2700 333 ddr mem 120 gig hd

The "NTdll.dll" error usually only pops up when encodeing Xvid files, If this is the case the Best solution is to Install the "FFDShow Decoder" and configure it to decode XviD files and if you have the XviD codec and don"t need it for compression then I would get rid of it...This should hopefully get rid of your Problem...

thanks m8
still same prob even if i try to do a svcd,vcd i get same error to ntdll.dll

Hi, Have you Maybe tried to Frameserve the File to Tmpgenc useing Virtual-Dub??? and when encodeing Mpeg2 to mpeg1 or mpeg2 in tmpgenc I find it is Better to use DVD2AVI to Frameserve the Mpeg video to Tmpgenc cuz it is faster and you rarely ever get any errors....Cheers

Hi all,

I'm capturing analog video (VHS) from a DV media converter and its audio output is 32kHz. When I use TMPGEnc to encode the captured AVI file to MPEG2-DVD the resulting video has a sound with distortion. Is there any setting in TMPGEnc to do this convertion (32->48kHz) without problems?

Thanks in advance,

sergio

Yes, go to the audio settings in the Enviromental settings and set the sample rate converter to high quality.

>Yes, go to the audio settings in the Enviromental settings and set the sample rate converter to high quality.

Thanks for the help!!!

sergio.

It seems that latest DVD Author installed the app ezSP_Px.exe in my tasklist to load at startup.

Anyone know what it is and if it's safe to remove?
I don't use the DVD writing tool and I think it has something to do with that...

I prefer to have as few programs possible to run in the background while capturing video...

This is just a burning relatif engine. If you remove it, it may some trouble with TMPGEnc DVD Author's writing tool.

Hi

Another question about the "cannot open and unsupported file".
I checked everything what you write about that topic, but nothing helped me.
I raised the priority, load down a new codec, but still the same error.
I can watch the film on evry player i have, no problem.
Also, i never had problems with encoding videos, but from one day on, this error
comes evrytime.
Please help me, I am really out of order.
THX

Have you tried Installing "FFDShow Decoder" and configure it to decode the format that your AVI file is in?? But if that don"t work I guess you can try Frameserveing the File to Tmpgenc useing Virtual-Dub or AVISynth but this is a Little advanced....

What format is the file in, is it AVI, WMV, MPEG1, MPEG2, ASF... which?

I have converted 2 or 3 movies using Tmpgenc Dvd author and 2day i tried 2convert another 1. But when i was checking the movie when it had finished authoring it i noticed that it had only converted 500mb of the film instead of 4.1gb (im doing this exactly the same way as i did the other ones) the format of the movie im authoring is 720 x 567 (mpeg2 format) and plays fine. Could there be a problem with the mpg ? Ive tried re-converting it from the oringinal avi many times but still it hits a problem in extactly the same place.

Could anyone sugest why this is not working ?

What's sort of Movie, what type it is, it is impossible to know your issue?

I have the same problem
I maid a mpeg file whit pinnacle (i took the option for dvd compatible
pal 756x480 and a bitrate of 8000 and 25f/s) my avi file is about 3.5 GB
and when i do the conversion to VOB he just makes only 1.4 GB

anny one a solution for this, or an other programm to convert mpeg to VOB ?

Hi,

What's the difference between CQ and CQ_VBR?

I noticed that the Q-level of CQ_VBR encoded files
is horizontal on "1".
With CQ the Q-level looks like "the rocky mountains".

When encoding in MPEG1 the Q-value of CQ_VBR must be half
of that of the CQ mode to get approx. the same file size.

What is the Q-level of a MPEG1/2 file anyway? Is it better to have
a higher or a lower Q-level in the encoded file?

Cheers,

Hendrik
