Hi,
I have encoded several .avi files using tmpgenc. I burn things with Nero. However, on all of them, Nero is not recognizing the files I have encoded as being vcd-type files. How do I fix this? I tried to bypass the standards (Nero asked if I wanted to re-encode, bypass, or cancel), but then my DVD player can't read the CD. It tries, I get sound, but the picture is all screwed up. Anyway, in short, how to I make a Nero-burnable VCD so I can watch it on my DVD player?
after opening the avi file, make sure you are loading the proper template = vcd mpeg-1; select either PAL or NTSC depending on where you are.
Many burning programs have issues with files encoded by tmpgenc. Nero should be okay. Could be that your DVD player does not play VCDs; or you may have to use a cd-rw disc instead of a cd-r disc (some players read only cd-rw).....you'll have to experiment. If all fails, you might try the free VCDEasy to burn or to creat the bin & cue files which you can then feed into Nero. See vcdeasy.org.
Just performed a fresh reinstall of Win2000 with all relevenat apps and codec. But now TMPGEnc doesn't list my 2 DivX codec when using the "Output To Avi" Option. All it shows are the standard window codec...
I had this problem once well actually it would only show some of the codecs and not all of them, and I just re-downloaded Tmpgenc and installed it..But I don"t know if it will work on Your system but you can try it..

Nope, already tried a reinstalle of TMPGEnc & no joy :(
Another quick question. I live in the USA. My DVD player plays commercial DVDs made in the NTSC format. When I go to encode an AVI file with TMPG sometimes the program says that the AVI file is in PAL format. Now when I make an MPG to play on my American DVD player I have, in the past, used an NTSC template.I thought that it was necessary to do this so that the VCD I would burn would play on my DVD player. After reading a lot of these pages today I am no longer certain that I am doing it correctly. Can anyone clear this up?
A Pal movie encoded to the "NTSC" Template will cause the file to have jumpy and out of sync playback when plated on your NTSC DVD and TV, and if you use the "Pal Template" the movie might not play at all..There isn"t an easy way to convert NTSC to Pal and Pal to NTSC, it involves extracting the audio from the avi then changeing the frame rate of the AVI with "avi frame rate changer" then useing a audio editing program like "Sound Forge 6" to Stretch or Shrink the audio file to the new length or the avi file so they will sync up..It is not a procedure for the unexperienced..There is a program called "DV Film Maker" that will take a "25fps" avi file and convert it to a "29.9fps NTSC" file,but It takes quite a while to do..
You have extracted to the Wrong audio format...You have to extract the audio to "wav" not "mpa", Tmpgenc might not encode "Mpa" audio, and extracting the audio to "mpa" causes de-sync, so the correct settings in DVD2AVI under "Audio" choose "decode to Wav" and under "dolby digital" choose "Dolby Surround Downmix"...You will know you have done it correctly when the audio has a "Wav" extention......
For start, no "decode to wav" option in Audio (not available when sourse is mpeg audio format?)
Secondly, seems like DVD2AVI serves TMPGenc with wrong number of frames.
The source file has 77,474 (according to bitrate-viewer) and when I go to source range in TMPGenc it has only 77,454... Maybe a bug in version 1.86?
So it"s a "mpg" file that you are useing in DVD2AVI???You can "de-multiplex" the mpeg and save the audio file then just make a d2v file out of the video then after encodeing the D2v file to mpeg you just multiplex the "de-muxed" audio to the encoded d2v file.This is the method I use when i need to re-encode mpeg files and it is better than haveing the audio re-encoded and looseing quality.This should work without any audio delay.I have noticed that the DVD2AVi 1.77.3 is the fastest and most reliable version so far ...
Hi guys, just checking to see if I understand something correctly. Low resolution avi files (such as 360 x 240) contain only one half of the full frame.So when we encode them using TMPG we have to use the "non-interlace" setting. Using the "interlace"setting is wrong because there are not the 2 halves of the frame to lace together... Correct?
NO, not exactly, I depends on How the movie was made and encoded,When you load your file into Tmpgenc those settings are adjusted by the encoder so you don"t change them because the encoder analizes the file when you load it and adjusts them acordingly so they will be at the correct settings...
I have an annoying problem and I want to try my chances here since I have never ever had a response on any other forum. This might not be the most relevant to TMPGenc but I am giving it a shot since this fourm deals with a lot of video experts and I have been answered great every time.
Every time I look at an .avi file in windows explorer (or just holds the mouse over the file) a DOS looking windows pops up in the background that contains the folowing info:
Header says C:/windowsexplorer.exe
then in the window it shows: DecompressQuery:input=24 bits, output =(null)
The .AVI files in question are made with my little Canon camera (and any DIVX)and are 12 seconds movie clips so not a perfect .avi but ok and similar to others. This window also comes up if I drag in a DIVX movie file into TMPGE, even though I am not intersted in DIVX.
I have a divx with a bilingual audio track, one in french, the other in english. It's compressed with Ogg Vorbis. I want to extract only the french file, how can I do that because when I extract audio from Virtual Dub I have the two tracks mixed in one...
Is there a possibility to include a feature to enter audio delay correction values in the multiplexing tools? When processing audio seperately from video with standalone tools like azid and toolame and finally multiplexing the m2v created by tmpgenc and the mp2 created by toolame I do not see any option to specify an audio delay. Would be awful, if such an option was included.
I multiplexed a svcd compatible m2v and two mp2 streams to a single MPEG-2 SuperVideoCD mpg file. But when trying to cut this huge file (3 CDs) to seperate parts for burning, TMPGEnc only includes one of the two audio tracks in the small parts. So please add a feature to include all contained streams in the cutted stream.
Or did I do anything wrong?
Agreed. I think if there was just a little more audio capability, it would make an already great software an even better product. Audio merge, designate Left or Right audio, etc. From my understanding, it shouldn't be too difficult. I've been working on some similar software for a proprietary product and the guy sripting that codec seems to think that this isn't rocket science to add these features.
Every time I encode a movie, typically in 2 parts. I start getting the "Stream Writing Error" toward the end of the second file. I start over and it will come up again, but in the different spot.
About a week ago I got the same error message. As I posted then, the problem was that my hard drive was full, but because of cross-linked files causing bad sectors on my hard drive I still thought I had 3.5 gigs free. I used SCAN DISK and Power Defrag to clean up the hard drive, deleted some junk and then I no longer got "stream writing error".
What is the "frame rate" of the "avi/Divx" file?? if it is differant that the Mpeg that you are encodeing to then this is your problem..You have to encode to the same frame rate as your source file, and if you don"t then you will get sync problems and jumpy playback on your DVD Player....
