I have been trying to download the file, but it says invalid zip file, anyone have a copy to send me. Joeh67@yahoo.com

thanks

You"ll just have to keep downloading it till it is Not corrupted...

I have nerovision express w/ the MPEG2 plugin. if I use the TMPG encoder to trancode from .avi to mpeg2, then use nerovision express to burn onto my DVD-R or -RW disc, will there be some kind of disconnect? the nerovision plugin is built in and automatically converts.

DONT USE VISION EXPRESS....Vision Express will Re-Encode every file you load into it which will totally Ruin any Quality that you have ..Get a Real DVD authoring Program like most Ulead Products will add Menu"s and chapters and Format the Mpeg2 file so that it can be burn"t to DVD-R..Nero Will ALLWAYS take any file you load into it and encode it even if it is allready in the Correct Format for DVD which Greatly degrades the Quality of your Movie..Some DVD Authoring Programs are Quite Inexpensive, if you e-mail me I might be able to hook you up with one...

I am interested in one. give me a couple choices. thanks.

When I select the video source and click on it, this message comes up:
File"G:videosSouthern Queensland Experience.avi can not open, or unsupported.
This is a vital plea for help, as I need to get this done in a few hours. If there is anyone who can help me my msn ID is nicolehansson@hotmail.com

Thank you

Nicole,

I had the same problem. I then downloaded FFDSHOW and it installed a bunch of codecs and it works great now. You can get it from http://cutka.szm.sk/index.html. Good Luck

That link wont work.
There is an apostrophe at the end of the link. This one will:

Sorry it's a full stop not an apostrophe. Gonna have to get this dodgy monitor sorted out the screen's getting worse.

ASHY

i've been having the same problem. i downloaded the ffdshow, and still having same problem. do i need to do something with these codecs now that i have them downloaded? do i need to do something to the old ones? do i need to change something in tmpgenc? why is this so easy for everybody but me? what gives?

You asked "Do I have to do anything with these Codecs once I have them downloaded?" Well Yes you have to "Install" the Codecs or the Codecs are Useless...

How do i cut the black edges on either sides of the DIVX file so that it can fit eventually when played on a TV screen?

thx in advance.

To Cut out the Black Boarders you have to Use the "Clip Frame" settings ,But your Movie might have a Stretched look from Being stretched to fit Fullscreen..

I have an amd Athalon2700+ 1gb dual channel ddr 400, ATI all in wonder radeon 9700 128mb and a an older Sony 8mm Cam Corder /w 3 rca composite connectors.

I am able to capture the image, in several formats etc..

I want to take my 8mm tapes, and convert them to vcd so I can watch them on my dvd player. I have been successful doing so, however they are very poor quality. They would look better if I just took my composite rca and direct input to VHS and record.

would some one please baby step me as to how to get the best qaulity. I need to know what software and then how to burn on cd, or which cd writer soft is best. Or does TMPGEnc conver everything ready to just burn as data please take me step by step. I am growing weary with this project.

Thanks in advance:

The Quality isn"t ever going to be Very Good if you are Makeing VCD"s out of your Movies..Besides the Fact that you are Captureing from an analog source you are Makeing VCD"s and VCD"s don"t use a Nearly High enough Bitrate to give you very Good Quality, VCD"s Barely look good enough When made From DVD"s..What I would do Is Capture to A high Resolution(720+480) Low Compression Codec Like HuffyUV or PicVideo Mjpeg, Or even Uncompressed if you have the disk space and Drive speed, then You can clean up the Image with a Few Filters In something Like Virtual Dub or With AVISynth,Or if you have a More Profecinal Program Like Premier or Vegas Video you can Add more Complex filters to clean up the Image ,then Encode it to SVCD or even Xvcd Cuz VCD will never give you the Best results.Most DVD players will Play XVCD"s and even some that don"t say they Play SVCD"s Will if Burnt a certain Way..

When I output a movie, converting from 29.97fps to 24 fps, the audio loses sync. I've been taking DVD video and Windows Media Audio and outputting a DivX avi with MP3 audio. Am I missing some setting, or is the problem my output format?

I'm also having the same problem. 29.97fps converted to VCD causes audio to be up to 30 minutes ahead of the video on a regular movie. Any help is appreciated.

Download the procram avi2vcd
then use it to decompress your mpg.
it will make a file .pcm
then convert the pcm file using tmpg
and it will work

any ideas on how to go about write protecting a vcd using some simple tools.....my operating platform is XPPro....please help me with this problem.....thx
cary

Don't bother, any protection you can put on the cd is very easily circumvented.
The only way would be to encrypt the contents, but this would mean it wouldn't play directly from the disk and everyone you give it to would need a key.

Trust me, it's a waste of time even trying.

ASHY

I take it you want to stop people from burning further files onto your VCD? Doesnt Nero allow you to finalize disk after burning so that no further burning is possible?

can anyone help me on this one i read somewere that tmpgenc is not that good incodeing films of the net if this is so witch other encoder that is a good program to use thanks for all replys

The Problem isn"t Tmpgenc not Being aboe to encode files downloaded off of the net the problem is that many files downloaded off of the net are Corrupted so Any encoder will have trouble encodeing them...

check out the second pic on the site.

No! The software they are using *IS* TMPG and other free software too.
This software is a scam and all the software it uses is freely downloadable from the net. DO NOT buy this product.

Hi,
Ok, I've been using TMPG for a few hours now managed to make mpeg, but now I'm trying to make AVIs. What I did I extracted the .vob from a dvd on my comp and then I use DVD2AVI to make a .d2v file and extract the sound track. When that is done I go to TMPG and I managed to make mpeg out of the .vob but when I try to make a AVI (I'm trying to use divx 5.0.3 pro) I get the following errors, Problem reading log file and after I get Could not initialize VFW codec this codec cannot be used for some reason. So what is the log file they refer to? and I think the second error is due to the first one...

Please help...

Oh, forgot this I'll give my comp specs too...

Windows XP pro sp1
Athlon XP 1700+
256mg ddr 333
maxtor 40gig (on ata 133)


An other thing does divx calculator exist? cuse I'm trying to make the files a certain size... instead of trying a few different way is there an app that can calculate the file based on the lenght, resolution, video kbpt and audio kbpt, etc...

Hi. I have a similar computer. did you encode an .avi file to mpeg2? on what type of DVD disc exactly? how did it go? does it play well?

I didn't burn it on DVD... but yeah it worked fine for mpeg files, I didn,t follow any guides for this app... Like I said, I extracted the vob and put them on my comp then I used DVD2AVI to make a d2v file and extract the soundtrack from the vob... Then I used TMPG where they ask the video file I pointed to the .d2v file then u point to the sound file DVD2AVI made, then u choose ur quality and all the other options and then u click start...

Have you registered the Divx 5.03 codec yet?

ASHY

yeah I registered it

When encoding some AVIs I have downloaded into VCD / SVCD complient MPEGs, I get random errors that occur during encoding. I get errors including Read and Write errors in TMPGEnc.exe. Sometimes I get lucky and manage to run off some VCDs that work perfect, but get errors far more often. Does anyone else have this problem? I am using an Athlon XP2000 machine with Windows XP, and have tried many versions of the software but keep getting the same error messages.

I will also add that the AVIs have been downloaded from the internet and work, I open them in VirtualDub / NanDub to split them (direct stream copy) and use TMPGEnc to encode the AVI segments into MPEGs for PAL VCDs (Note - I do not use sorce range in TMPGEnc, as unwanted frames have already been removed using VirtualDub).

Thanks in advance to any help.

Downloaded Movies are the Worst Possible Sources to use for encodeing to Mpeg with Tmpgenc..Downloaded Movies have a Tendancy to get Corrupted frames or Parts of the header gets Corrupted..This doesn"t seem to affect the AVI file as far as Viewing the File Cuz Media Players are made to skip over errors But Tmpgenc analizes every single Frame in the File and if Just one frame has a Bit of bad data in it then it can freeze up or Crash Tmpgenc..Have you Tried Useing Virtual dub to Frame serve the AVI file to Tmpgenc?? This can sometimes help with avoiding errors...

How do I frameserve? I cant find it in VirtualDubs help files

I was having same problems and, this is unlogical but, all problem comes from a corrupted avi file.

Just load it with virtualdub (I use virtualdubmod) select a new compression like divx in video option, and save it again.

You will have a new file without corruption.

To Frame serve with Virtual dub you have to first Run the "AuxSetup.exe" file in the V-Dun folder then choose "Install Handler" then click "OK" then you Set up your AVI file in Virtual dub then go to "File" to Start Frame server" then give the Frame server file and Name with a VDR extention then load the VDR File into Tmpgenc and encode it to mpeg....

Thanks for your input ppl. I'll try these methods tonight and let you know how I get on.

Still no luck. Frame serve comes up with same random errors.

And I try encoding AVI into DivX Low motion, but it picks up file errors and stops :(

When I play my AVI files on my com. they play perfectly, but when i convert them to MPEG Files, there is like a pink layer over the picture that keeps fading in and then disapering about every 4 seconds and when i burn a vcd of one of these converted files, it burns the pink layer also, is this normal? if not, plz help.

It Sounds like you have the "Angel Potion Codec" installed on Your Computer..This Codec is a Very Bad Hacked codec that Causes Discoloration on Mpeg files encoded By Tmpgenc and can cause other problems also..Search For this Codec on your computer and delete it then re-encode the AVI file and then the Discoloration should go away, the Codec Might be listed as something like this also "apmpeg4v3.dll"..But if you can not find this codec then you Just might need to raise the Priority of the "Direct show file Reader" in the "Vfapi Plugins"....
