hi i asked a question previously and it was answered .....how do i improve overall quality of movies that i'm encoding ...answer -the easiest way to improve quality is to increase bitrate.ok i get that but by how much a vcd the constant bitrate is set at 1150 but you can increase it but i don't know what to increase it to so it really does make the movie better to watch , clearer you know.if anyone can answer this for me thank you!
To increase the bitrate you have to load the "unlock.mfc" template in the "Extra" folder,now you can raise the bitrate as high as you want but the higher the bitrate the bigger the file size, with a bitrate if 1650kbs you will get about 60 minutes per cd-r with much improved quality, you can download a "bitrate calculator" at vcdhelp.com, this will tell you the max bitrate to use for the length of the file you are encodeing so you can fit it on # cd-r"s..
hi i was just wondering if its possible to remove subtitles simply and easily somewhere in the encoding process.i encode movies to vcd and some of them have subtitles that i would like to remove somehow!
Yes and No, you can use the clip frame option to cut out the actual area were the subtitles are but you will have a movie that looks a bit stretched up and down, but you can"t just remoove them ,well not from an avi file....
I'm having trouble. I want to convert an .avi file to .mpeg, but it won't open the file. It's encoded in Divx format, does that have an impact? It's Star Wars - Return of the Jedi. I have Divx 5 installed, but I want to convert this to VCD or SVCD. Any help is appreciated!
Nevermind...I read farther into BBS and found that raising the Direct Show Multimedia File Reader priority in "Environmental Settings" on the vfapi tab, to "2" solved my problem.
I think there's a bug in the MPG stream tool. I've multiple MPG-1 files (ca. 1 GB large). I want to joint and split these, so that they fit on 2 CDs, splitted exactly by scene frame.
But everytime I do this with my mpgs (the originals tmpgenc plays them correct!)after the process have done, the audio is cutted after approx. 17 minutes off!
The second file has then no audio...
PS: the original file is created with DVDx V2.0 as VCD.
This is an OLD problem with the mpeg tools and you should never rely on them to work for you, you should allways have back up programs to do the job,a good muxer is "bbmpeg" and a good joiner and editer is "power vcr"(it is a capture program but has editing and joining features)or mpegvcr can do this to, and a good muxer and de-muxer is called "xmuxer", these tools are easy to find on a search engine, or downloaded off kazaa....
Well that was a informitive question, i"ll have to guess what you want to do, you can take a bunch of bitmap or jpeg images and encode them into a mpeg file by nameing you images in this format: pic#01.jpg, pic#02.jpg pic#03.jpg ect, then you load in #1 and the rest will be loaded with it, then encode..
Well I figured out AVISynth and the it has helped immensely. My picture quality has improved by frameserving directly from adobe premiere to TMPGEnc. But I was wondering. Where can I get the IVTC plugin for avisynth. It was suggested to me to use the copy duplicate coption of this plugin. Sounds like a good idea especially since the project I am working on in a slide show (lots of similar images) Thanks again for all the great suggestions.
You can probably find the plugin at www.apachez.net ,but useing ivtc will change the frame fate of your file unless you are useing a different option of the plugin....
It depends on the audio format in your avi file, if your avi file has mp3 audio then you need the mp3 codec and the codec of the format you are converting it to, but if you want to extract audio tracks from video files it is best program for this is virtual dub,db power amp is great for encodeing audio files but it has problems extracting audio from avi files but it works fine for mpeg a wmv files...
Tmpgenc does not encode compressed audio formats very well, so it is allways a good idea to extract the audio to a wav file and encode the wav file as your audio track.....
I have been converting various DIVX films with TMPGEnc to MPEG, but when I play back the MPEG, the picture seems to jolt (for a split second) all throughout the movie. The quality of picture and audio is excellent, apart from the jerky behavior. does anyone else get this ? When I burn the MPEG to VCD, I get the same jolts on my DVD player also.
When I want to encode a MPEG file or anything else to VCD or just an MPEG file TMPGEnc just works for a few secounds and then I get an error message from Windows it says that TMPGenc has to be shut down, look at it here: (norwegian): http://home.no.net/rhella/tmpencerror.png This problem happens with every version now, it never happend before. It all began when I downloaded and installed TMPGEnc-2.54.37.135. I went back to the older versionsm, but no luck. What can I do ? I Really need TMPGEnc ! ! !

And annother thing: the encoded file is playing, but have no sound, and the file is very short.
Sorry your havimg bad luck with TMPGenc and XP but I have been running them for about a year with no problems I have run XP Pro and all 2.5+ versions flawlessly must be some thing with your system. You might try to run Norton Win Doctor or remove TMPGenc completely and install the latest 2.56 along with making sure you have the latest drivers. Plus it could be another back ground program is hoging up space and causing TMPGenc to get pissed.
Another thing I do on the ocasion when I install a program and it screws my OS up (or if I screwed it up tweaking and experimenting) is wipe my C drive and reinstall my OS. Its some times a easy fix If you have all your data on another partition or hard drive.
once I downloaded a screen saver that turned out not to be a screen saver it was actually a Trojan I caught it after about two days and removed it I thought nothing bad happened but then I had strange problems with my video codecs turned out it messed up my registry and caused my divx codec and sound to act crazy. It could be possible your system suffered a attack or just got corrupted. Just a thought. Good luck.
