hi
while running vcd on dvd player time menu is avialable like track,
but i cant make the dvd move to another time ,
how can i make dvd to skip to another scene ?
to cut the mpg to several mpg's is good enought.
am i missing something ?
i use nero & tmpgenc
thanx
Use VCD easy to create chapter points then you will be able to skip through these chapters with ease and is much simpler than messing about creating multiple MPEGs.
-Captured via firewire from the camcorder using adobe premiere
-selected a portion of that capture using source range in tmpgenc
-compressed that capture using tmpgenc DVD ntsc 720x480
this was done succesfully
the noncontinuable error appears when I try to open this file with the wizard trying to compress it to Super VCD or VCD (any of the entries)
any hints
PS: why not compress directly to SVCD or VCD you ask, because I like to keep for archival the best compressed quality.
If you are trying to just store these files and not burn them to disk then you would get the same or better quality with smaller file size if you just use a divx format.mpeg format is pretty useless unless you are burning to disk or maybe streaming from a video server but there are better formats to stream from.....
Ohh I allmost forgot,are you trying to encode your mpeg2/dvd ntsc to svcd or vcd?you might need to get the "mpeg2 vfapi plugin" so you can open mpeg2 files in tmpgenc cuz tmpgenc will not open mpeg2 files unless tou have the plugin installed and you still might have to de-multiplex the file to load it..
well, I demultiplexed the DV file into two streams: a mp2 audio file and a m2v video file.
when I load only the m2v file, the svcd process goes smoothly.
I checked the mp2 file in winamp and it plays fine, so there is no aparent corruption here.
But when I load both the mp2 and the m2v files in tmpgenc to create a svcd file, it crashes.
So here is my guess: tmpgenc doesn't accept compressed audio while going from dvd to svcd.
Why im sure? I uncompressed the mp2 file to a wav (using winamp for this), loaded the m2v file, then the wav file and the process runs without a glitch.
when i take a avi file which is about 200 megs, and 39 mins long, it gives me an error message saying file unsupported. i have no idea what to do can anyone help me out. i would really appreciate it.
I am trying to multiplex an svcd file (size 740mb)
I am changing the type to mpeg1 video cd so as to fool
my dvd player into thinking its a vcd. The file runs about
halfway through and then stops with this message
154557 s packets cause buffer underflow.
this then leaves me with 350 mb playable file with half missing.
The movie plays all the way through on windvd with no problems
and if I dont change the video type when multiplexing
it still runs through only half way but without the error message
I have tried converting the mpeg to vcd with the project wizard
but tmpgenc wont even load the file that way , it says can not open
or unsupported.
There is a much better way to put the "vcd" headers on your mpeg2 file than de-multiplexing then multiplexing,doing this seems to actually cause the error you are getting, what you have to do is go to "merge and cut" load your mpeg2 file in and choose "mpeg1/vcd" from the drop down menu, choose your output directory then click "run".This will just make a copy of your mpeg2 file with the vcd headers on it to fool your player, and you wont get this error and it is faster than de-muxing then re-muxing..
What Are You Talking About?Can you please explain your question properly,tell us what you are trying to do and what errors you are getting when you try,and what steps you have taken to correct the problem,but first use the "search" at the top of this page to find your answer first cuz every question there is on the subject is answere on this site if you look..
hey quick question. first, LOVE tmpgenc, second, to make my life easier, is there a setting in the .mcf files to automatically set the video arrange setting to "full screen (keep aspect ratio)" every single time? right now, when encoding 16:9 movies to 4:3 SVCD's, i have to set the source to 16:9 NTSC and video arrange method to full screen (keep aspect ratio) every single time. i would love to be able to set up a new template that does this for my 16:9 movies by default so i don't have to worry about it. thanks!
Not that I know of.Even when you program it into the template it doesn"t work.Tmpgenc is supposed to set the "source" aspec ratio for you but it seems to go to "704 by 480 525 line ntsc" when your file is "16:9", but I did some experiments and if you leave it to "704 by 480 525 line ntsc" the finished mpeg doesn"t seem to be any different than if you set it to "16:9",I"m sure there is a differance but I can notice it....
Depending on what type of de-sync you have would warent a different method to fix it,if you have a simple case of the audio starting before or after the video causeing de-sync.with this type of de-sync you will have to download a multiplexer that allows you to off set the audio,There are a few that do this ,the multiplexor in "mpeg2vcr" or "m2-edit pro" will let you do this but i use the one in "bbmpeg" cuz it is free but it is a little bit more complicated than the others.so first you will have to de-multiplex your mpeg file then load it in to the multiplexor ,and the use the off set option to try to fix the de-sync..
Three of my videos dont have sounds as a result from encoding from .avi to .mpg. I believe the problem lies in the fact that the .avi files are streamed with an MP3 audio. I know that TMPGenc cannot encode MP3 audios (it says it in the FAQ page) so how would I extract the MP3 audio from this .avi so I can get it to work. Any help would be great!!
You need to download a program called "virtua dub" and with that you can extract the audio from your avi to wav format then "tmpgenc" will encode it to mp2...
I was just wondering if you can give me a little help on how I can make a demo on Quake III Arena and convert it into a AVI file so I can use with WMP, and also is there an easy way to add music??
I converted a .WMV file to .MPG, doing nothing more than opening it and converting it. The source file is about 2 megabytes but the resulting mpeg file is over 26 megabytes. I fiddled with it a bit, changing the bitrate, and it came out smaller but with reduced quality. How can I maintain quality and not increase the file size so much? I would appreciate any help.
I've noticed the same when encoding. Check the Source Range and see the set start frame and set end frame area. If it is 1 and -1 respectively then I have gotten that same error. To compensate for it I just set a new end frame area. Somewhere towards the end and the file came out just right (with a snippet off the end but..its negligible).

Why do you want the file to be so small?Mpeg is NOT a system for makeing your files smaller,in most cases it will make your file larger,WMV format is the most compressed format there is so there is NO WAY to make a WMV file the same size as the same mpeg file.WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO??
I'm sorry, I wanted a smaller file so that it wouldn't take up too much space on my website. It's on Geocities so I have limited space (and limited bandwith). It's simply my experience that more people can play mpegs than wmvs with the players they have, so that's why I'm changing it in the first place. I'm already going to zip it...so I guess 8 Megs is reasonable. It's better than 26 Megs, anyway :) I'm sorry, I didn't know mpegs were regularly so much larger. But I appreciate the help.

You can try some color filters but they probably won"t help enough to make the quality noticeably better,The bitrate is directly related to the quality of the mpeg,and if you are doing vcd"s or svcd"s more is better than less.But you can try a different encodeing method like "CQ" that will tend to lower your file size and keep a good quality....
I am a real newbie at video. I am using Windows 98SE with Premiere, exporting as AVI and after encoding an MPEG File with TMPGEnc it plays in Windows Media Player. I can play AVI files on Win DVD but the MPEG files are completely pink with normal sound. What am I doing wrong. I have checked that I dont have the angel codec installed.
I had that problem too(except the screen was black not pink). What I did was download the divx 3.11 alpha codecs and everything worked fine. I already had the Divx 5 pro bundle, but those older codecs are what did the trick. I had a similar problem when i got the version 4 codecs, to get things to work I had to get the older codecs. Can't guarantee it'll work, but give it a try.
