Asking for a friend...He is running Windows XP Pro...and TmpgEnc 2.54
He is trying to convert SVCD files to DVD mpegs.
When he opens SVCD files in TmpgEnc, he ONLY gets video, NOT audio.
However, these SVCD files play perfectly in Windows Media PLayer,
as well as Power DVD XP.
He has tried demuxing the files, and using separate video/files,
but the resulting DVD file created by TmpgEnc has NO audio.
He has to de-mux the mpeg file and then encode the audio to a wav file with an audio encoder(there are lots of free ones)then use the wav file as the audio input in Tmpgenc..
OK, he has tried this DEMUX thing, and TmpgEnc does accept this
NEW audio file. BUT, the resulting dvd mpeg file he creates, does
NOT have audio !!
Is this the normal way that everyone is converting SVCD files with
TmpgEnc? I'm having no problem whatsoever loading and converting
my SVCD files with XP, or with Win2K.
Dont encode the new wav file with "tmpgenc".Encode it with "db power amp" to "mp2" then multiplex it ,but I think you friend didnt encode the de-multiplexed audio to a wav file before encodeing with tmpgenc,Tmpgenc in some cases will not encode mp2 to mp2, but if he did try a different multiplexor,haveing your audio missing afer you encode is probably the easyest problem to fix cuz there are so many programe out there that will encode audio to mpeg compatible audio..
OK, thanks for the replies..no matter what he does..the audio is missing
when he does the conversion with TmpgEnc. He demuxes to mp2 or wav, and
then does the conversion..NO AUDIO.
As a test i had him use the original SVCD file for video, and a generic
mp3 file or wav file for the audio. In this case, the audio was converted
properly with TMPGENC.
So it looks like TmpgEnc just wont load or encode audio that originates
from any of his SVCD files. (and these are files i have converted
successfully)
Also, i had him use a new machine, with a FRESH install of XP, and still
TmpGenc will not load audio on an SVCD file.
When I merge and cut a SVCD, I loose about 10 seconds of audio right at the end of each segment I cut (the video is there without approx. 10 seconds of sound). So I overlapped this 10 seconds on the next segment I cut. Thus I know the audio is there on the original MPG file.
When I merge and cut a VCD using the SAME MPG file, the audio is present at the end (i.e., no lost audio at the end of each cut).
The differences in TMPGEnc settings between VCD and SVCD are slight at create time - mainly in the template which makes me suspect the template. In both cases I am using the FILM templates (which produce excellent video and reduce processing time).
Since I haven't seen anyone else with this problem, I suspect I am doing something wrong.
Are you saying that you are mergeing a mpeg1/vcd to a mpeg2/svcd?If you are this is not possible,but anyway there are no real solutions to problems with the "mpeg tools" the only way to fix problems with the mpeg tools is to use different software to do what ever you are doing..
When I read Minion's comments, I see that I made one wrong statement. I created the VCD MPG file starting with the ripped DVD files using TMPGEnc. I did the same for the SVCD so I am talking about two different MPG files - one created for SVCD and the other created for VCD. The MERGE and CUT of the MPG created for SVCD has the missing 10 seconds while the MPG created for VCD is OK.
I did the process twice (once for VCD and once for SVCD) to determine if there was a difference - and there was.
I have converted 2 movies now (both star wars movies) and both of the run fine ( on 2 cd's) until about half way I get a "glitch" on the screen and then when the poicture comes back the sound is off from the picture.
Any idea's??? I know you get a lot of similar questions but can you answer one more???
I have run across this glitch before and had to re-encode the file but you can try to edit out the glitch then join the two parts together and see if that works.....
Im totally lost about what you are doing ,what is "Quake"? and what do you mean by makeing a demo?and that is what I understood ,everything else is giberish.Why don"t you start by telling us what you are doing ,explain it like we don"t have a clue what encodeing is...
I am making a tricks Demo from Quake III Arena (PC Game)and I want to make it into a MPEG by recording the Demo in IVA so when I start the Demo in the game I have been Putting /cl_avidemo which takes screenshots and then converting the TGI screenshots into MPEG using your TMPGE program,but what I can't understand is after converting the TGI screenshots into a MPEG movie I then added Music (mp3) but I made two of the same one with Audio and one without Audio, the one without Audio was 10.4mbs and when I added a mp3 (4.5mb) the whole thing shot upto 140+mbs what do I have to do to stop the file getting a silly size cus of just adding a Mp3???
I guess that you are not very familuar with Quake Demos lol but when I start the demo using /cl_avidemo 1 the screen slows right down cus of the tgi screenshots its taking, so basically I want to record a avi demo without the slowdown, is this posible?
I have tried to lower my fps whilst recoding AVI demo but it's still the same, just wondering if someone else need to spectate me and record IVA demo???
Sorry if you still can't understand what I meen but thats as far as I have got so far thats why I need help, I'm still in the proces of learning myself:(
So you are just recording screen shots of a game you are playing, and you want to encode them to mpeg?and are you sure that is "143mb" not 14.3mb" cuz I don"t know were the 120mb came from unless it is padding, to get rid of padding you just make a copy of your file by running it through the "merge and cut" without editing, just load in your file then choose your output file then click run and it will make a copy and if there is any padding in the file it will be gone, but I can"t beleive there is 120mb of padding, Try captureing your screen shots at 29.97fps then encode to 29.97fps and you shouldn"t have any chopyness and capture uncompressed avi for best quality..sory but I don"t know much about doing stuff like that .....
I have an mpeg and i want to add some more space to the top and bottom so that I can fix the apsect ratio.
To start with the mpeg was pal and has been converted to ntsc.
so it is at 576x240, and the picture is streched to long, ie the people's faces are to long.
I need to add 48 pixels of black to the top and bottom of the picture.
Well there is no version 2.55, but you probably mean 2.54, and tmpgenc will work on any cpu and on any windows os,are you haveing problems? post them here and we will try to help you out...
Need assistance with Ulead's Movie Factory. Have AVI file, decompressed audio into WAV file, encoded with TMPGE and ran a simple de-mux. Took results and mulpiplexed with bbMPEG. Checked Sync on MPEG-2 and all was fine, loaded into Movie Factory, selected DVD, added six chapters and started the program. Result was DVD on DVDR mediaR out of sync. Anyone have this figured out yet? Thanks.
does somebody know a software t change the volume of mpeg? I produced a svcd with tmpgenc and forgot to change the volume there. But i do not want to decode the vobs again. Is there a editing software?
First you can "de-multiplex" your mpeg file, then take the audio and encode it to "wav" with an audio encoder, then load your wav into tmpgenc and go to the audio settings and raise the volume and use "normalization" now encode just your audio to mp2 with tmpgenc ,then multiplex the new audio file to your video file and the volume will be louder...
My copy of TMPG shuts down without warning during encoding. I also own LSX3.5 from Ligos which does the same so I'm not blaming TMPG. Something must be wrong with my system - but what? I tried it on another machine and it did exactly the same thing. Could it be my AVI files? They are produced from my Pinnacle DV200/Adobe Premiere setup. I can't be the only person this is happening to.... Can anybody help me? Please!
I don"t really know why this is happening to you.Are you useing the pinnacle "dv" codec?I have heard that the pinnacle codec isn"t compatible with tmpgenc try de-compressing your avi files then encodeing them..
Ligos Codecs are the mainspring in most of Pinnacle Systems editors and yes they do cause problems in the later versions of TMPGEnc....The way I got around the problem was to record the edited footage back to my camcorder, then re-capture using Uleads VideoStudio 6 which uses Uleads own Codec. The resulting MPEG or AVI is willingly accepted by TMPGEnc. (Earlier versions of VideoStudio use the same Ligos Codecs as still used by Pinnacle.)
Thanks guys! I tried the producing my AVI's with Pinnacles DV Codec, Cinepak Codek by Radius & Indeo 5.10. The only one it could get it to work with was the Indeo Codek. Well, problem solved! :)
Tmpgenc is only compatible with "Video For Windows" codec"s and "open DML Direct Show" codecs so if you load up a bunch of those codecs you will be able to have a better choice....
Why are VCD not 100% compatible with "White Book"?
I am useing a program called "VCD 2.0TK" From Philps. The program gives me an error that my MPG are not a Valid VCD Fromat. I can get around this problem by useing "VCDMUX" but this means I have to make a Video Stream and and Audio Stream. Is there anyway to make the MPG 100% VCD Compliant??
(I have tried the Teplates and they do not make it 100% VCD Compliant)
This is just a little quirk of TMPG.
If you wanr 100% VCD 2.0 compliant yiur gonna have to remux it with VCD 2.0TK, but why bother using that old, dated and by now past it program when there are many other programs out there for authoring to VCD which won't give you this error and are better and easier to use.
TMPG MPEGs will play fine in just about any player you can think of when using the right software.
Do you know of the names of any programs Like VCD2TK? I like all the features it lets you have. I have been Makeing VCD Using Nero and I am tired of the simple menus
after I finaly made an firmware update of my Yamakawa 715 player to make the kvcd templates work I discovered that my player now sort of detects anamorphic encoded streams on VCDs. All I have to do is to insert an 16:9 DVD bevore I insert my VCD.
I dont know If that would have worked bevore the firmware update. I think its worth a try on other DVD players too.
