i can lower down the birate to 5000 but then the movi doesnt play well
is there aother sulotion for this
i want to encode the movie/avi on birate of 8000

Use a "VBR" encodeing method, then you should still be able to keep a high bitrate and a small enough file size..
wich one, if i us vbr it stays big there is also mvbr , vbr cq do you mean these one
What's the best setting in SmartRipper to get correct audio for multiplexing in TMPG? I can't recall the correct settings. I know I have to end up with a .mp2 file, but need to know the best way to get there. TIA.
You dont use Smartripper for this. You just use Smartripper for ripping the VOBS to your hard drive.
You need to use DVD2AVI to create a project file from the VOBS and extract the audio to a wav and then encode it to mp2 with TMPG or you could use VOB2AUDIO to extract the audio to a wav.
No that is not right, all smartripper does is extract the "vob" files from your dvd, to extract the audio from your vob files you need dvd2avi or vob2audio,(if you can get it to work), I think "besweet" will extract the audio to but none of them will extract the audio to "mp2", the audio has to be encoded to mp2 with tmpgenc, then you can use it to re-mux if thats what you want to do....
Smartripper does have the option to rip the AC3 track, but it isn't advisable. I have done this on several occasions and has resulted in sync probs.
If you really are set on just ripping the Ac3 so you can use Besweet to encode to Mp2, then you could use DVD2AVI or Vstrip or the one I have found the best is VOB2AUDIO.
If you still want to use Smartripper to extract the Ac3 then click the 'stream processing' tab, enable stream processing then uncheck all except the audio track you require then click the 'Demux to extra file' option and click 'start'
I tried using virtualdub to rip the audio (wav) file from my Avi with no luck. It kept telling me something about input sampling rate and channels dont match output. I then used TMPEnc to encode the Avi to MPG format this worked great with the exception that the audio was missing. I tried burning with Nero on a high quality CDRW and the burn worked with no problems. The result was great...it worked on my pioneer DV525 in PCB mode (without audio of course). Two questions..how can I get the audio to work and why does my DVD player go into PCB mode instead of VCD mode?
PS: The AVI was a movie downloaded from a peer to peer server (255MB)
Could you tell me how to open an mpeg file in tmpgenc. I can view it on media player but I can't get any other software to recognise it. It was an svcd that was downloaded and I want to encode it so I can burn it to a cd.I don't know if I'm lacking a codec but could you please help. Thanx.
thanx for the help guys it is much needed. My cd burning software ( ez cd 5 ) won't recognise the svcd format so I do need to convert it. I've tried demultiplexing it but it only seems to get about half of the file. any ideas ??? Thanx a lot.
Not another one using EZ CD crap creator.
Do yourself a big favour and stop using this amatuers program. Bin it and download yourself a free demo copy of NERO from http://nero.com. It supports all formats and is just about the best burning software there is.
It'll save you having to convert from SVCD to VCD.
There are a few reasons why avi files can"t be loaded, the most common is that your direct show priority is too low, the next is that you haven"t got the correct codec to decode the avi file, you should have divx 3x,4.12,5. The next reason is that your avi is useing a dv codec that is not supported by "tmpgenc",but those mostly apply to captured avi files..so if none of these apply then there is a problem with the file or with you computer, if all else fails try re-downloading and re-installing "tmpgenc".....
i had this problem.. as some others have... and the responses were wonderfully complex.. so in case anyone was like me..... here was my fix....
in dvd2avi , i had to set under Audio , under 48-> 44.1 khz .. mine was normally set to "off" . i set it to "Low". . and it took twice as long to create the project.... but in the end. i now have audio.. and i receive 0 errors. whether it be 2.53 or 2.54 tmpgenc . :) man i love this place.
turns out it wasnt that easy..... i had tried only a sample in dvd2avi. and it had worked in tmpgenc and audio was good... however when i did the whole thing in dvd2avi... no sound anywhere... so i took 8 random samples. and all had audio. . so now im gonna split the projects in dvd2avi. 3 hour movie anyways. so i will produce 3 seperate (.wav's) and (.d2v's) . approx one hour long each. and i will hope that they will have audio. if not i will narrow it down to a problem section of the 3 hour movie..
forget everything i said. part 1 of 3 is good. part two is jumpy as hell... i give up. . ive spent over 24 hours trying to work this movie.... blood in blood out or otherwise known as bound by honor.... i quit.
If your problem is the "an error occured when audio was decoded" or just the lack of audio in your video files,then use a different audio encoder, try the ones that work with "tmpgenc" like "toolame or scmpx", or just use a seperate encoder all together, I use "db power amp" to encode problem audio files, just encode the wav file that you got from "dvd2avi" make sure there is audio in the file by listening to it, then encode the wav file to mp2 and mux it with the mpeg video...It just occured to me that your problem could be a simple one, do you watch your mpeg files in "Media Player"? If you do this could be your problem, media player sucks when it comes to mpeg play-back, all mpeg play through my media player with no sound accept for a couple of seconds at the beginning....Use "power dvd" it is great for mpeg playback...
I have the PC-DVD from creative to play DVDs and MPEG-2 in my TV.
If I encode MPEG-2 with other program, the video quality is not too good, but the sound synchronization is ok in PC-DVD or in the MSN Media Player.
But, if I encode with TMPGEnc, the video quality is VERY,VERY good, but the synchronization is not(the sound gets in a low tune, like monster`s voice).
I tried to play that same file in Media Player and the sound was OK.
Question: A DVD-R with that file will run OK in a standard desktop DVD Player?
So what you are saying is you have a file encoded by tmpgenc that sounds bad in PC-DVD but the same file sounds good in "media Player" and you want to know if that file would play correctly in your dvd player burned on a dvd-r?Well that depends as to why it sounds bad in PC-DVD, is it a problem with the program that is playing the file or the file it"s self that has A problem with it..What I would do if I were you just to be safe is to de-multiplex your mpeg file and save the video, then encode just the audio from you original avi file, the best way would be to extract the audio to wav format from your avi file with "virtua dub" then load that in tmpgenc useing the "audio only" in the stream setting, and encode your audio .After you have encoded the audio listen to it and make sure it sounds good ,then multiplex it with the mpeg video file that you encoded and de-multiplexed allready..now you will know that the audio is good in the mpeg file.Maybe try an external encoder like "toolame" or "scmpx" they work as "external tools" in the "enviromental settings" and can be found on any search engine, these audio encoders give far superior audio quality compared to the built in audio encoder in tmpgenc....
I put asf file on video source and
put wav file (which converted from asf file)
on Sound source then encoded to mpg file...
but when i play the mpg file, my video source
is going more faster than my sound coming out...
what should I do?
P.S
I converted asf to wav file by using
dBpowerAMP.
