Is there a way to leave videa as it is and only compress audio when encodind from avi to avi?


ASHY  2002-07-23 19:08:09 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

All you want to do is compress the sound. This isn't really a TMPG question is it?
Load the AVI into virtualdub and choose the full processing mode. You will be able to compress the audio to whatever you want then choose 'save wav..' and give the file the extension of the type of audio you are creating.

Question - TE25 - 500bps jerky sound No.25406
James  2002-07-23 14:55:31 ( ID:zqigxf3uunk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm trying to put two or more hours of AVI made from a powerpoint slideshows (with narration) onto a vcd. When I reduce the bitrate (to 500), the sound goes jerky. The quality of the pictures is adaquate but the sound goes fast and jerky!

What is happening?
Can I fix it?

James


ASHY  2002-07-23 16:41:56 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

There may be a number of reasons for this.
1. Does this happen only on you hardware player, if so it could be that your player doesn't support the low bitrate you are using and I'm quite suprised you wish to use this bitrate, the quality must be terrible.

2. It could be the muxing rate. Seeing as you are now creating an out of standard VCD the standard VCD muxing rate will not be correct. Try running the MPEG through the simple multiplexer in the MPEGtools and choose 'MPEG1 VCD(non standard' as the stream type.

If it is the bitrate which is at fault and you are dead set on fitting 2 hours on to one cd then try these templates which will allow 2 hours on 1 cd with good quality. http://www.kvcd.net
You may need to raise the minimum bitrate in the templates so the VCD will play ok in you player.

SAME PROBLEM WITH THAT TEMPLATE :-(

EVEN A BITRATE OF 700 HAS PROBLEMS ON MY MACHINE (NOT AS BAD THOUGH!)

THANKS FOR TRYING ASHY

IF YOU KNOW OF ANY CREATOR/ENCODER THAT WILL LET ME USE TIMED STILLS TO A BACKGROUND NARRATION,(TO LET ME GET TO 2HOURS) I'D BE VERY INTERESTED - MOST ONLY ALLOW A SET TIME FOR ALL THE PICS (5sec or 10 sec FOR ALL).

THANKS AGAIN

Question - TE25 - Submux and TMPGenc No.25402
martin  2002-07-23 14:22:16 ( ID:xlnf0vsqrnw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi I have a question
If I use submux to add a subtitle to my avi file and like to convert it afterwards
Will TMPGenc convert the subtitle to??


Jojinto  2002-07-23 21:08:53 ( ID:/ltlglwfcqm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well of course it will encode the subtitles......i personally use Virtualdub for avi subtitling,and for mpeg-2 i use submux and maestroSBT.The last two takes alot of time to encode even with a fast PC.


ASHY  2002-07-24 13:51:18 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If your intention is to add subtitles to an AVI or an MPEG1 I would suggest using Virtualdub and then simply frameserve to TMPG to create an MPEG1 or MPEG2 file with subs.

ASHY


martin  2002-07-24 21:43:18 ( ID:xlnf0vsqrnw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Okay lest my get this right
If I last say add 3 subtitles whit submux to my avi file and then
Converts it to svcd whit TMPEGenc and put it in my dvdplayer
I can thus for one of the tree subtitles I added?

Question - TE25 - After encoding with TMPGenc Nero starts encoding again!! No.25395
Petr@  2002-07-23 09:24:19 ( ID:gispzp7xetl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

After encoding a film with TMPGenc to a VCD format, I loaded the file into Nero and now Nero starts encoding the movie all over again! Is this normal??
Thanks in advance for any reply!
Petr@


ASHY  2002-07-23 10:18:22 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

No, there must something wrong file or setting you have missed.
What are the error warnings that NERO is giving you and are you creating a non standard VCD?

First check to make sure that you are indeed using the VCD option in NERO and not the SVCD option if you are creating a VCD.

If you are creating a VCD with a different resolution than normal then NERO will give you an error message, just ignore and choose 'Turn off standard compliance an continue'. DO NOT choose re-encode (NEVER CHOOSE THIS OPTION).

If you have used the MPEGtools to split your movie then make sure you choose 'MPEG1 Video cd' if you are creating a standard VCD or 'MPEG1 VCD(non standard)' if you are creating a non standard VCD, as the stream type.
Choosing 'MPEG1 automatic' will give you an error in NERO.

Post the specs of the file here and we'll take a look at it.

hey, im really new to tmpgenc & video editing. so please help me out.

i am trying to convert a .avi file to .mpg so i can make a vcd. when i try to load it, i get the message "c:/blah blah.avi can not open, or unsupported"

is this just not possible with this software? do i need another software? anyone know? i think the .avi uses divx decompression. does that make it different? someone please help me out.

'Cept it doesn't work in my case. I'm running WinDVD, and the file loads and plays in that, so I know I do in fact have the codec in question, and it plays in bad aspect ratio in WMP when the extension is changed to mpg, so I'm really confused as to what's wrong. I am running WinDVD on this laptop where I am running PowerDVD XP on my desktop machine where everything works fine, could that make a difference?


ASHY  2002-08-03 11:13:51 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The reason is you don't have an MPEG2 codec installed that works with TMPG, not all MPEG2 codecs do and Windvd and Power DVD codecs don't even though directshow can use them for media player.

Look to your other post I have posted the solution.

Question - TE25 - All about Adobe Primier No.25387

Dear All ,

Many Friends told to me about why you not use Adobe Primier for editing your movie, Yes I want, but some problem that I got.
I've installed Adobe Primier 6.0 in my PC but, can't connect to my Digital Camcorder (Panasonic NV-DS28), I think Primier not support my device.
What should I do ?
And please help me to give any reference or guide about how to use Adobe Primier for Video Editing, or maybe you can give me Web address.
Thanks for your kind help.

Bob

You should make sure you have all the proper drivers for you dv device and make sure you have all the updates for "Premier" and if all else fails you can go to http://www.adobe.com/ and get support or download the manual or updates..I use premier for editing and exporting and other software for captureing..


Bob  2002-07-23 05:28:18 ( ID:zprigmmvxug )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Once again,
Very very thanks Minion for your info.
But How about Guide for editing with Primier, any address that can access ?

Bob

The manual that you can download at the link above should tell you what all the settings are and what everything in Premier does.......



Question - TE25 - Settings for a clearer picture/audio question No.25379
daveoklahoma  2002-07-23 03:01:25 ( ID:du09zbxrwyw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Okay, I am somewhat of a notice at this:

I have downloaded an AVI file (the specs are listed below):

Audio: MPEG Layer-3, 95kBits/s, 44,100 Hz, Stereo
Video: 352x288, 90170 Frames, 25.000 Frames/Sec., 102KB/Sec, Unknown format

I have cut the movie in half using VirtualDub.

My first question: How do I know if the audio is compressed and that I need to "uncompress" it and have the AVI file converted to MPEG using the uncompressed WAV file?

Also, is there a way to make the movie clearer by adjusting some settings? I don't know the difference between "interlace" and "non-interlace" video type and "aspect ratio". Does TMPG auto detect that? Are there some settings I can change in "clip frame" or "other settings"? Can I change bitrate somewhere? I'm told the higher the bitrate, the clearer the picture (or is everything based on the way I downloaded it)? It's just that when I finally make the VCD it looks rather distorted up close.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Minion  2002-07-23 04:39:24 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What you do to extract the audio to wav it to load the avi file in virtual dub and go to "file" to "save wav" and it should extract the audio to a wav file, The audio in your file is MP3..As for interlace and progresive(non-interlace) the file you have is "25fps pal" so it is progressive, and for Output aspect ratio it should be put to "4:3" cuz that is what your TV is unless it is widescreen.Tmpgenc auto detects the input specs but you have to set the output specs.As for getting a clearer picture, the movie can"t really look any better than the avi you are encodeing it from, but the higher the "bitrate" the closer to the original avi it will look, and you will have to encode the file with "Pal" settings cuz it is a "Pal" avi file, you can try to encode it to "Ntsc" but you could get some undesireable results.If the color or contrast ect is a bit off in your avi file you can try to make it look better with the "color correction" in the "advanced settings" you just double click on the filter you want to use and the adjust it to look better........


daveoklahoma  2002-07-23 05:22:31 ( ID:du09zbxrwyw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

In TMPG it won't let me adjust the bitrate settings. It's set at 1150kbits/sec (I can't go higher). Is it because it is a PAL file that I can't adjust it? Is that what you mean by "encoding" the PAL file? How would I do that? The VBV (whatever that is) is on 40KB. Any help is appreciated. I'm in the try-it-and-see-what-happens mode.


Minion  2002-07-23 07:03:25 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yes you can but you have to load the "unlock.mcf" template in the "extra" folder.This will unlock ALL the settings so make sure they are set to what you want them to be set to......


daveoklahoma  2002-07-24 01:00:36 ( ID:du09zbxrwyw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Okay, I'm lost. I found the "unlock" template but how do you load it? I click on it and it asks we what application to associate it with. I pick TMPG and it says "illegal stream format". How would I load the unlock feature?


Minion  2002-07-24 03:03:28 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Ok, you load it like you load a template, ok, first start tmpgenc, then load it your avi file, then click the "LOAD" tab in the bottom right corner then LOAD the "unlock.mcf" template then all the settings will be unlocked, this is how you load templates , there should be 2 folders full of templates with different setting and differant names like "vcd ntsc" and "vcd ntsc film" and "svcd ntsc" and "svcd pal" ect,ect, you load a template for what you want to do, so you want to make a "ntsc vcd" but you want to use a higher bitrate, so you load the "ntsc vcd template" then you load the "unloac.mcf" template so you can raise the bitrate.It"s easier than PIE.....


Minion  2002-07-24 03:05:08 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You want to make a "pal" movie with that file so you would load the "pal vcd" template then you would load the "unlock" template to raise the bitrate......



Question - TE25 - PAL at 24fps to 25fps, continued.. No.25377
ABS  2002-07-23 01:52:30 ( ID:0v38fp4fqco )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

OK, let me explain myself again :-)

What they did was adding an extra field every 12 frames...
The reason for this was to avoid the need for 4% speed up. That way you have 25fps that are actually 24fps internally. What I want to do is to remove those repeated fields so I would get progressive 25fps (with the 4% speed up).

So, my problem is that it's not an acturate transfer. Meaning, that the pattren of 11 frames for two fields each and then frame 12 for 3 fields some times shifts a bit. So I have to go frame by frame and make sure it's OK throught the movie, re-inserting the Pattren (of the inverse telecine) again and again when needed.

What I wanted to know is if anyone knows something that can do this automatically because it takes alot of time...

ABS


ASHY  2002-07-23 11:50:01 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Now you have explained it correctly I may be able to help. These damn movies are notoriously difficult to encode.
That shifting of the pattern is what causes the problem.
I did have some limited success with an AVIsynth an a couple of filters I used with it.
One particular function was the Telecide option in the 'decomb' filter which allowed AVisynth to automatically determine what to do with the frame, drop it or keep it and seems like it should be able to handle this situation with no problem and doesn't rely on any particular pattern.
It worked up to a certain point and was the best solution I could find without like you say manually setting the pattern for IVTC.
It did return the movie back to progressive, but there were still artifacts present, such as a jerk in the movie every now and then.

Maybe you could give it a try, you may have more success than I.
Here are some links explaining what it does. There is also a good help file that comes with the filter when you download it.
http://www.doom9.org/decomb.htm

Let me know how you get on if you decide to try it.

Start the movie, right click, choose configuration and then the information tab.

Non-intuitive? Well...

Download this program. It will tell you everything you need to know about your MPEG. http://www.tecoltd.com/bitratev.htm

Also be aware that MPEG4 is an AVI format.
