Hi, Im haveing trouble with a divx video file that I want to put on VCD.
So far ive had good luck, sound is fine, video is fine too. Everything works great when I put it in my DVD player.
Only one problem.
The video contains subtitles and they keep getting partialy cut off on the bottom of the screen. Its kinda getting annoying. Is this a problem with TMPG or my VCD burning software (VCD EASY)
What should I do? Any way I can resize it better? Someone please help.

You will have to arrange the picture so that there isn" space cut off on the top and bottom of the screen...You can use the "clip frame" settings for this....
how or can I change the screen format from a wide or letter box to full screen. If it cannot be done with Tmpgenc then what. This program does everything else i figure I should be able to do that to
i've been playing and figured out to clip the frame but i get one of 2 things. Either the streched look an odd sized retangular skinny picture is there a way besides clipping or to adjust for a normal looking picture
Set the "Video arrange method" to "Fullscreen Keep Aspect Ratio" and have the out put aspect ratio set to "4:3" and you can use the clip frame to adjust it a bit...
If the source is 16:9 then you need to choose the appropiate setting under the 'source aspect ratio' as 16:9.
The "Video arrange method" set to "Fullscreen Keep Aspect Ratio" and the output aspect ratio set to "4:3".
You will then have to crop the image at the sides until the black bars dissapear. This will maintain correct aspect ratio.
Hi,
Whenever I try to load a Divx file into Tmpg 2.58 it now says .avi can not open or unsupported, It used to work last week, I think win media player has upgraded and spoilt Tmpgenc, Wondering if anyone can Help me Please.

When I try to encode a movie, on the set start and end page, everything looks ok. I have the begining and ending credits. But when the encoding is over, the end of the movie is gone. I go from a 1hr 47 min film to 56 minutes. What am I doing wrong?
Ive been using tmpegenc for a long time now with no problems at all apart from running into known bugs.
After upgrading my machine recently my machine now hangs after between 6 and 12 minutes of encoding. There is no crash restart, no system log entry, no error messages of any kind, just a complete lock up of the machine. It doesnt matter what format im trying to encode, tho im actually trying for a 2 pass svcd from ripped vobs.
My new machine spec is athlonxp2200+ on an abit at7 max2, 512 of crucial 2700, leadtek ti4400, sblive 5.1 platinum, dual WD800JB 80gb special edition raid0 etc etc running XP pro SP1. The only thing different to my previous and working setup is the cpu, memory and mobo.
Ive tried underclocking the cpu and ram, disabling all the onboard USBs/firewire etc, reinstall of the software, reinstall of all codecs with no luck at all.
I consider myself an expert with tmpeg and with video work in general, as well as being a certified support tech for a living but this one has me totally stumped. My assumption at the moment is some incompatibility with thoroughbred athlons as i know tmpeg has no problems with the at7 max2 due to a friend having a similar setup but only running an xp1900.
Has anyone seen anything similar or does the tmpeg team recognise a bug with tbreds?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, pulling my hair out here.
I tried unchecking sse, increased the time before crash to 15 mins or so but still the same outcome.
Ive sorted the problem out now, sort of. If i set my bios to xp2000+ rather than xp2200+ or by manually setting fsb and multiplier then it works.
This leads me to think that its down to the CPU ID string as if i set the same fsb/multiplier (12.5x133) that the xp2000+ setting uses i get the same crash.
If anyone is reading running a 2200 or any other tbred can you try an encode and post your results.
This crash only occurs using tmpegenc btw, using bbmpeg, cce or any other encoder has no problems.
When I upgraded to a machine similar to yours (Athon 2000+ w/XP) my hang problems with TMPGEnc went away! But, on my old machine, any program rendering MPEG files would hang my system flat after about 10-15 minutes of encoding. Drove me nuts for months. Finally fixed it -- accidentally -- by reverting my swap file settings to Windows default (changing setting back from fixed size to dynamic). Swap file had been too small to handle MPEG conversion.
XP creates a fixed-size swap file by default, I think, but it may not be big enough for your jobs. Try increasing its size and see if that helps.
i got the same problem on
windows 2000 Pro. / Service Pack 3
Athlon XP1800+
did all possible patches and upgrades but nothing would help?
this seems to be an processor related problem ???
If i lower the bitrate from 1150 to 900 to obtain a final estimated 760000 ko mpg file which i can burn on a 90 min. 800mb cd-r, i still get a 932950ko file.
It seams that change the bitrate doesn't change anything on the mpg file size.
I went into enviromental setting and vfapi plug in and I saw direct show multimeadia reader it has a setting of -1 and i can't change it also earlier today or tonight i encoded eddie murphy delerios it took 2 hours and played the entire process on the preview screen now i am tring to encode oleander it it took about 1/2 hour and preview screen did not work so i am not sure if it encoded it at all
while trying to encode, i hit the start button, and i get the message " can't load p3package.dll". how can i fix this; already reinstalled and downloaded again.
If you downloaded this as a zip file, Try re-extracting it to it own Folder. I ran into the same problem and so I created a new folder and extracted the zipped file (The TMPGE...package) to it, which contained the seemingly missing P3*dll . When I ran the package from this new folder it was able to find the *dll file.

I am using Plus 2.5 version. I get this error when trying to encode to VCD,"Read error occurred at address 0049EA94 of module TMPGEnc.exe with 00000037. It gives me the error at about 1 hour elapsed time. I am using Windows XP. Is there a way of getting the earlier versions of TMPGEnc? I started having the problems when I upgraded to 2.58 and Plus 2.5 versions. I would greatly appreciate any help.
I am not using Virtual Dub. I used CladDVD XP 1.3 to create a .d2v file for video and a .wav file for the audio. I load those 2 files in TMPGEnc browsers for video and audio. Then use System-Video+Audio to create a MPEG-1 file to copy on CD-R. Let me know if I should be doing something else. Thank you.
Well that is your problem,you should have said you were useing D2V files...You need to have "DVD2AVI" installed on your system or at least the "DVD2AVI.VFP Plugin...You will know if you have the "DVD2AVI.Vfp" plugin because it will be in the same list as the "direct show" in the "VFAPI Plugins"....seing as your D2V file was made by CladDVD I don"t know if the D2V file will work properly because you have to have the DVD2AVI plugin for that specific version of DVD2AVI and I don"t know what version of D2V file CladDVD Makes..So what you should do is download "DVD2AVI" open up the DVD2AVI folder and copy and paste the "DVD2AVI.VFP" folder into The Tmpgenc folder, then restart Tmpgenc and see if the "DVD2AVI.VFP Plugin is Listed in the Vfapi Plugins..if it is Try loading in the "D2V file but if it doesn"t work you will need to Use "DVD2AVI to make a Compatible D2V file, you can use it to extract the audio from the Vob files or you can use "Vob2Audio"....
If you are using a d2v file then there is no point in changing the priority of the dirtect show file reader as it wont have any effect. The setting you should be changing is the 'DVD2AVI project file reader'
I'm not saying this will work, but it's worth a try. It is more likely the d2v file is corrupt.
If you want my advice dump CladDVD and start doing it the best and the right way. Use Smartripper to rip your your movies and use the d2v file that it creates instead and VOB2AUDIO to rip the audio to a wav.
I tried CladDVD with a new movie and made DVD2AVI in plugin a higher priority and I still get the Read Error. I downloaded Smart Ripper. When it was done ripping the info, it gave VOB files. None were .d2v and VOB2AUDIO files. When using Smart Ripper, how do I create those files? Thanks for all the help. We'll get it right soon.
Are you using the correct RIP method when you use Smartripper. You should be using 'Movie'.
The d2v is created when you rip the VOB files. Look in the same folder as the VOBS.
As a hint it is the one with a .d2v extension.
Ashy, I clicked on Movie in SmartRipper. When done, it did create the .d2v file. I used VOB2AUDIO to create the .wav file. I loaded the 2 files in TMPGEnc. I did not get the usual error during encoding but when it finished, it said completed 100% but only encoded about 12 minutes of the movie. Now what? I like using CladDVD program because it is very simple and it gives the complete .d2v file and .wav file when done. Your way is an extra step using the VOB2AUDIO to get the .wav file. I am very baffled on why CladDVD used to work and now it sounds like it is screwing up the .d2v and .wav files. I tried an earlier version of Tmpgenc and I still get the read error so it must be the CladDVD program. Let's keep trying. Thanks for all the info.
This is my advice to you which will ensure that things work correctly. If these steps don't work then there must be something else at fault.
Step1. Completely delete TMPG then extract a fresh copy of the latest version to your drive.
Step2. Download DVD2AVI v1.77.3
Step3. Copy from the DVD2AVI folder the file called 'DVD2AVI.VFP' into the TMPG folder where the TMPGenc.exe is located.
Step4. Run TMPG and got to Option>enviromental setting>VFAPI plugins and change the priority of the 'DVD2AVI project reader' to 2 and the others to 0
Step5. Using DVD2AVI itself create a .d2v file (there's no need to create a wav with DVD2AVI so check 'none' under - Audio>Track number.
Step6. Load the d2v into TMPG without the wav and select ES(video only) as the stream type.
Now click File>Preview and move the slider all the way to right slowly to see if TMPG can read the whole of the movie.
Step7. If that part went ok you should now be able to encode the movie.
If I encode with Video Only, will the sound be there when done or do I have to load in the .wav file that VOB2AUDIO created and stream type: System(Video & Audio)?
Yes load the wav from Vob2Audio and choose System(Video & Audio).
If you still have the same problem after following all the above steps then it
may be a problem with the VOBs themselves.
I once had a similar problem myself. Whereby the d2v was created from the VOBs no problem, but there would be an error at a certain point every time when encoding. When I re-ripped the VOBS with VSTRIP the problem went away.
Ashy, what should the configurations be set at on DVD2AVI program to create the .d2v file. I want to make sure I am doing it right. Also, in Video, should the YUV->RGB setting be set to PC Scale or TV Scale? I want to watch the movie on my TV. I know how to create the .wav file using VOB2AUDIO, too. Thanks for all the help.
