I seem to be having problems encoding some programmes! I have encoded films like James Bond from avi files fine! But when i encode smaller files the sound becomes all jumpy! There will be sound for a second then a second with out! and it keeps repeating itself over and over! Can ny1 tell me what Im doing wrong?
Thanks In advance!!!!
Well tell us what you are doing then Maybe we can tell you what you are doing wrong...But what it sounds like to me is that the avi file has "VBR MP3" audio which is not supported in Tmpgenc..You need to extract the audio to a WAV file with "Virtual Dub" then use the WAV file as the audio source..It is a Good idea to do this with most files so you don"t have audio problems later...
Sorry I am a complete beginner.
If I rip a dvd to my hard disc using smart ripper and then encode with Tmpgenc the first vob file auto populates the audio field and works fine but vob 2,3 and 4 wont and can't be picked manually so no sound!
What am i doing wrong?
It all works ok if I us eazy DVD to do the whole thing.
Many thanks
You DONT load Vob files directly into Tmpgenc...Tmpgenc can"t differentiate between Audio tracks and video tracks and subtitle tracks, and Can"t properly decode Dolby Digital Audio and it is 5 times slower to encode the vob files directly and the quality isn"t as good doing it that way...If you Used "Smartripper" to Rip the Vob files to your Hard drive then you should have a file in the Vob file folder called a ".D2V" file, you load this file into Tmpgenc and encode it..and to get the audio you use something like "Vob2Audio" to extract the correct audio track to a WAV file then you load the WAV file into tmpgenc as the audio source...Or what most poeple do is use "DVD2AVI" to extract the video and audio from the Vob File then encode to mpeg with Tmpgenc...if you do it this way you will see a BIG improvement in encodeing speed and Quality....
I used the mpeg tool to cut a SVCD with 2 audio channels but I found that the resulting SVCD has only one audio channel. I used Merge&Cut MPEG-2 Super VideoCD (VBR).
I am looking for a plugin for tmpg which will allow me to export to a .mov file, and lets me set the options, like of like how Discreet Cleaner 5 does it.. Any suggestions?
I am getting a buffer underflow while replacing a MPEG2-fileheader (SVCD-format) to a MPEG1 file header (VCD-format) with TMPGEnc, MPEG-tools section, single-multiplex tab. How come? .
You ask how come when you are doing something that is totally against the Mpeg specification??the reason is Because the Packet size for VCD and SVCD are different so the buffers overflow or underflow cuz the data packets aren"t the correct siZe..you should try useing the "Merge & Cut" instead of the Multiplex to add the VCD header..you just load the file in then change the setting in the Drop down menu then choose the "output" directory the click "run" and it should change the header without giveing you the error....
I have an AVI file ripped from a Canon DV camcorder using Ulead video studio 5. 1 hour of extracted video is about 12.5 gb filesize. When I try to convert using TMPG 2.58 PLus. It lets me, but the video quality bitrate is very poor. Ive tried numerous settings for customizatins and the usual DVD NTSC template. It encodes this file unusually fast. I need to burn this mpeg2 file to a DVD.
It is blocky like lower quality than MPEG1 (VCD). It is like internet quality at 500k windows media type of quality if you know what I mean. Unacceptable especially when i know the original AVI is perfect.
I downloaded the new Plus 2.5 version. I have XP. During the encoding process, it stops and I get this error "At address FFFFFFFF, Read error occurred against address FFFFFFFFFF. Please help. This never happened with the earlier versions of Tmpgenc.
Everytime I close out my TMPGENC program I see these annoying files that appear on my desktop...one's a 'notebook' file that says "tmpgenc" and another one says "current cfg.tpr" under the file. I know they belong somewhere, yet I have to delete them everytime!! what kind of files are they and how do I get rid of them for good so they don't come back up on my desktop anymore??
This happening because you have the TMPGenc.exe file from the zip directly on to your desktop.
The TMPG files should be in a folder not on your desktop. The files you are talking about are files which are created by TMPG to store the last settings used and will be created each time you close TMPG.
You cannot have the TMPGenc.exe file by itself on your desktop as ther are several other important files included in the zip which it needs.]
My advice is to delete the files you have on you desktop and extract fresh ones from the zip and leave them in the folder created.
To run TMPG from your desktop just create a shortcut to the TMPGenc.exe file.
...but all I have on my desktop IS the shortcut! I have the folder and all its contents in my 'C' drive folder, yet when I close it out, I keep getting these damn folders on my desktop....there's GOT to be something that's causing this....please help me out...please try to find another solution to this issue...I can't seem to figure it out!!
I took your advice ashy and that seemed to work...the problem was that I took the icon that was in the folder and instead of making it a shortcut, I made it a copy....so I made a shortcut and that seem to work.I didn't think that'd make a difference, but it did(weird huh???)...anyways, thanks for your help!!!
No not weird just normal.
Of course it will make a difference. You can't just copy a file and expect it to work as a shortcut because that won't work. You have simply made an exact copy of the original file which has no connection to the original file at all.
A shortcut points to the original file it was made from and runs it when clicked, a copy doesn't point to anything.
There are No Plans At all to Make a Macintosh version...Seing as the author Has said so and Even If he wanted to he couldn"t do it by himself Cuz i don"t think Hori is Well versed in Writeing Code for Mac OS..And there isn"t a Huge Market For Mac software..well Not like Windows software...There are encoders for Mac"s though but I think they are Very expensive...
