After I save my project in TMpgenc, i usually convert my files to a psuedo .avi in the VFAPI converter. Since Ive switched computers, and after trying to load my file(s), ive been having a "VFAPI Reader codec" error in the converter. I have my direct show priority raised to 2 in TMpgenc, but cant figure out the deal is.
Does anybody know what may be causing this problem?
I did everything you said above: ran vipfset.bat from the vfapi folder,
ran the file TMPGEncVFP_Install.bat which I downloaded from the TMPG site,
and registered TMPGenc.vfp to VFAPI.
I'm still having the same "Reader Codec" error in VFAPI converter. With one file it actually worked, but never saved it to a the Output folder lister in the converter box.
I went ahead and erased all my old .tpr files, and saved them again after I reinstalled TMPGENC 2.58 and VFAPI with the necessary codec and I still have this problem.
Would repeating the whole process (re-installing the software and codec possibly take care of this problem? Or am I going about this the wrong way.
I find that avi2vcd is the easiest converter to use. It's also free. Check out http://www.vcdhelp.com/ they explain everything about nearly every program, step by step.
I capture a video clip from a digital 8 video camcoder, iam using TMPGEnc trial version2.0 .Iwant to convert the clip to a vcd but this error come out all the time please helpme if some one have an idea. Thanks
Make sure all of your Tmpgenc Files are in the same Folder especially the Main EXE file and the "P3P Package.DLL" file.If all else fails re-download Tmpgenc..
I am getting an error when trying to encode from .avi to .mpeg1. It says, "Index of scan line is out of range(182)." What does that mean and how can I fix it?
I have been having no luck converting a captured DV file to DVD complient video. Something always dies in TMPGenc 2.58 a number of minutes into the source material. One error message I get is "privilege order error". The other is some sort of exception. I've tried changing the priority of the plugins which only seems to change the error message.
I am running Windows XP pro and the input file is around 11Gig on an NTFS partition. Athalon XP 1500 and 512Meg RAM.
I also have not had any luck using either of the ulead DVD programs to encode the video. I have been successful in the past using this computer with Windows 98SE in encoding and creating DVD's. Quite frustrating and any help will be appreciated.
If you are getting these errors in tmpgenc and getting errors in "Ulead" then there is most likely something wrong with the AVI file you are encodeing, have you tried to load it into Virtual Dub to scan it for errors??and if you can get Virtual dub to accept the file without any errors then use it to frame serve to Tmpgenc........
Thanks for the advice. I think the AVI should be OK because I captured it directly from my digital camera via Firewire using the Ulead software. It plays back in Media Player OK as well though I didn't watch all 54 minutes of it! I will however see what Virtual Dub says about it. Maybe frame serving it will work better as well. My other thought is that there are some large file size issues here.
I did all this around 6 months ago to successfully creat a DVD but that was under Windows 98SE with the then current versions of the same programs.
Is the "Plus" version of TMPGEnc faster at encoding than the standard free version?
What benefits are there to buying the "Plus?" (Nothing is listed in the FAQ).
The plus version has a better 2 pass encodeing method, and allows you to use Higher bitrates and the Mpeg2 doesn"t run out in 30 days..cuz after you have used the demo for a Month useing mpeg2 you can"t use it any more..Meaning you can not download the latest demo after your demo runs out..so after a month you basicly Have to buy it if you want to keep useing it for mpeg2 encodeing..
I'm only encoding with MPEG-1 anyway, so the time limit of MPEG-2 is of no concern to me. :) But if the encode speed is the same, then I guess the free version will suit me just fine (I don't use 2-pass encoding). Thanks for your reply!
What problem are you haveing???If you are lucky you just load in the Mpeg1 file and encode it to mpeg2, but since we don"t know what your problem is all I can do is tell you to go to ;http://www.vcdhelp.com/ and read a tutorial of useing Tmpgenc...
...also, Anybody know of a
other way to burn vcd's/ svcd's besides nero, aparently in nero, my minimum on my new burner is 8x (that sucks) / or wnybody know a way of tweaking the minimum burn rate to 4x or less?
Sometimes the Burn speed depends on your CD-R"s, if you get really cheap CD-R s some of them have to be burned at 4 Times speed, and nero will let you burn at that speed...I don"t know why 8 times speed should make any differance compared to say 4 times speed, I burn all of mine at 8 speed, on My 24 speed Burner, usually if you keep it below half the top speed of your burner you should"s have any of those problems that come with burning to fast, and if you get High speed CD-R"s it seems you can burn on them faster, like the 32 times or 40 times ones...
snice you r on the subject or nero why does nero take fookin hours to encode a flim that runs 40 or 50mins and when you use tmpgenc it takes at least 1hour to 2hours my last encoding from nero took 64hours for a 55min part 1 of like mike why is this snice you all sound like brainy peeps :D
oh and i got nero with me cdr i never cracked it ;)
You shouldn't be using Nero for your encoding, use TMPGenc or another program to get an MPG file that Nero will accept. i think Nero is a great Burning program, but when it comes to encoding, it's not so good.
I just purchased a Dell 8200 and tired to open my .avi files, yet was unsuccessful. Tmpgenc is on a external hard drive, which i just transfered to my new CPU, but keep getting some sort of CODEC error, this happens when i try to open certain files in the VFAPI converter.
Are there certain codecs i need to install, or is there a certain formula, besides raising the direct show to 2, that can aid me in opening .avi files in tmpgenc/ vfapi (.tpr) successfuly?
I've got myself a AVI File. I am trying to convert it to a VCD to be able to watch it in my Home DVD player. I'm using TMPGEnc to convert the video and GoldWave to convert the audio. When I am done converting the movie it has a Ghosting/Cloning appearance (not sure of the proper term). What settings should I be using to make a WideScreen VCD. Here are the movie specs below:
Video Stream:
Frame Size, FPS 640x272,23.976fps
# of Frames (time): 105303 (1:13:12)
Decompressor: XviD MPEG-4 Codec
Number of Key Frames: 1205
Min/avg/max/total key frame size: 1901/18961/53249 (22314K)
Min/avg/max/total Delta Frame size: 96/4416/49890/ (448954K)
Alot of those setting are incorrect to make a VCD, it has to encoded to MPEG1 for starters. Use the template for VCD(either PAL or NTSC) in TMPEGnc, then you should not have to change any settings except to perfect your quality.
I have been trying to use TMPGEnc to convert it to MPEG1. After it is done converting I even go back and watch the movie and it looks good. It is when I try to burn it everything goes wrong. I use Nero and I get an Error about the 640x272,29.976fps. I choose leave alone and continue anyway. But when the VCD is burnt I get ALOT of Horizontal Lines and the image looks to be tracing and ghosting itself. The Audio is fine though. Any suggestions......THX
I got a new problem now...I have burnt the Movie to a CD/RW and everything looks GREAT. About 20-25mins. into the movie I start seeing distortion and then the Disc Crashes. Is this still to do with the Encoding or am I just burning it wrong now....I get the hang of this someday...lol...(with your help)
