Are you saying that after you are finnished encodeing you have video but no audio?this can be caused by a bunch of things, the most common is that the audio in your source file is not compatible with "tmpgenc"..so what you should do is extract the audio from your "avi" file to a "wav" file and encode the wav file, and multiplex it with the mpeg video you allready have .. or if you allready got rid of your mpeg file, just encode your avi file with the extracted "wav" file as your audio source...but your audio might be "ac3" so if it is ac3 you will need an "ac3" decoder to extract the audio to wav......
PS: you should try an external audio encoder like "toolame" or"scmpx" they have better quality ,they work with "tmpgenc" as an external tool and have less problems.
Load up your AVI in Virtualdub and click File>file information if it says 'Unknown format' under the audio stream properties then this is your problem.
If this is the case then at a guess I would say the audio is an Ac3 stream which TMPG won't recognize.
You will have to extract the AC3 from the AVI to a WAV using another program.
Post back with info about the file and if it's AC3 I will give u instructions to solve the problem.
NO,To rip a sound track from a vcd you would have to first get the vcd on your hard drive, then convert the "dat" file to mpeg and then extract the audio from there with a audio encoder or de-multiplex the file and use the "mp2"file....or you could hook up your dvd players audio out into your line in on your sound card and record it to your computer....but it seems like a lot of trouble to me but there might be a program that will do it but I don"t know of one....
Yes, just simply go to FILE>MPEGTOOLS and click the 'simple demultiplex' tab.
Load your .dat file from your VCD into the input box, clear the 'Video' Field after you have loaded your .dat file. Choose an output for the audio then click run. After TMPGenc is finished you will be left with an Mp2 file.
This file will play in practically any media player and can be converted to a wav if you wish.
Or, you can use virtualdub. Just load your .dat into virtualdub, go to the 'Audio' option and click full processing mode then click compression and choose what format you wish to save the file in then click File>Save WAV... and give the file an extension of the format you chose. This will produce an audio file in your chosen format.
That is wierd cuz When i try to load "dat" files into "virtua dub" I can"t i have to re-name them to mpeg or convert them to mpeg, and tmpgenc" wont take the dat file either unless i re-name it or convert it to mpeg..but i guess all systems have there bugs......
You need to sort your system mate.
TMPGenc will open any .dat file, just use the *all files* option.
Virtual dub even has .dat files listed as one of it's supported types.
Click "Browse"
In the file window that opens, change the option at the bottom from "MPEG stream" to "All Files"
Find the MPEGAV folder on your VCD, and click on the file you want.
You should now see 3 (or more) streams, a padding stream, the video and the audio. Just double click on the Audio stream and choose where you want to save it, then sit back and relax.
You'll probably find you get an MP2 file which you can easily convert to WAV should you need to - I find WinAmp does this very well.
I don't think so mate. You just stated that it wasn't possible to rip the audio using TMPG and that you would have to faff around converting to MPEG and copy to the hardrive first and use another audio encoder.
That's not what I said or what Magic said, but like you say it's not a competition is it, cos i don't think there are any prizes on this board for answering as many posts as you possibly can before anyone else can is there 'Minion'.
I know it's not an MPEG editor but a fade-to-black is very simple to do, and it
would save using an external editor to do so. It already does audio fades which
makes it more than an MPEG encoder... so a fade down/up to black for vision would
not really be out of place either. Anyway, here's hoping...
Not to mention the anti-aliasing feature to reduce block noise.
I think the lack of a "Fade-To-Black" when you have these sorts of useful features at your disposal is more of an oversight! Sure I could go buy an MPEG editor, but what's the point? TMPGEnc does everything I need bar that one very simplistic but useful feature.
Hmm yes and maybe if Mr. Hori has got time he could also incorporate something which would do my ironing or maybe my washing...Ooh and I could do with a ground to air yogurt maker, that would be nice.
I don't know what this guy Mr. Hori is doing, but fancy creating such a useless program.
.....Some people are never happy with what they have got!

I downloaded an MPEG file and it's damaged about 40 minutes into the film. I tried re-mux but the sound then goes out of sync by about 3 secs after the damaged part, Is there any way to repair it or reconstuct it?
What I've done is split the file just before and just after the damaged part, then re-merge them and this works ok but obviously I get a shotr jump in the film which I don't really want,
A handy tip for people encoding Widescreen films to VideoCD for playback on a TV. If you set the output format to 16:9 you get a stretched video when you save, but you can use the picture format button on your TV to squish it back to how it's supposed to be - even newer portables have this facility now!
Because you have a stretched movie you get higher quality (better vertical resolution for larger TV's) and you can also get away with lower bitrates. I just encoded Evolution at 825kbps with 160kbps sound and it looks very good on the 32inch screen.
I'm not sure about lowering the bitrate because lowering the bitrate would produce a blocky movie, but your right about the vertical resolution being higher when you use the format button to squish it back down to normal. Why waste those extra pixels on black bars when they can be used for the movie. Good idea.
I say reduce the bitrate because although you would get more blocks on the movie, they're squished so they don't notice as much - ie you can get away with a little more compression... only little bit but to me that makes the difference between getting away with 80 mins on an 80 min CD and squeezing 90 mins on. :-)
Every time I encode on TMPGEnc, I get an error message that reads:
Read error occurred at address 00402f40 of module 'TMPGEnc.exe' with 65726460.
I never used to get this problem with the trial versions; happened after I have the purchased TMPGEnc(2.54). How do I fix this problem? Please let me know as soon as possible!
This error most likely is caused by corrupted frames in your avi file, try doing a "scan for errors" with "virtua dub" and find out if there is any bad frames...and if there is you can try to edit them out....
I did use Virtual Dub and scanned for errors but still didn't work. Also, NO files work. Every file I import in and try to encode, it does not work. I don't know the problem either. Please help me (also thx for helping) but I would appreciate it if I could fix this.
Do you mean by "import in" that you are frame serveing?are you useing "avi" files or are you useing "d2v" files?I guess i got to know more about what you are doing, you can e-mail me so we don"t have to wait for each others posts and i can try to help.....
Hey i was wondering if anyone could send me version 2.5 at my e-mail adress Skap8312@hotmail.com, because i dont know if it is a problem with my newer version, thanks!
Hey, i am new at using this program and i was trying to copy a DVD. After using Claddvd XP to extract and copy the files, I then used DVD2AVI to save them as one file. They are saved as separate Mpeg audio files, and .dv2 video files. When i try to open The video file on Tmpgenc it says "'DVD-Fight Club.dv2' can not open, or unsupported." When that didnt work i went back to DVD2AVI and saved the movie as an AVI file, and it still didnt work, I would really appreciate if someone could help me out, thanks a lot!
Well there are a few things you should do differently, first use "Smartripper" it is a faster and better dvd decrypter,another thing your settings in dvd2avi are wrong you are not supposed to get a mpeg audio file, you supposed to get a "wav" audio file..plus you probably don"t have your dvd2avi vfapi plugin..There are a lot of things you have to fix before your going to be able to encode your movie,..You can e-mail me and I will send you some instructions on how to do it properly, there just isn"t enough time or space here to go through it all......
In DVD2AVI
Change the Channel format to auto select.
Click help and make sure VFAPI plugin is checked.
Copy DVD2AVI.VFP from your DVD2AVI folder to the folder where the TMPGenc.exe is located.
In TMPG.
Click Option>Enviromental setting>Vfapi plugin and make sure DVD2AVI project file reader is checked. If it is and you still get the error raise it's priority to 1 or 2.
A feature that will fix corrupt mpeg1-files....
I've some files which have audio buffer underrun errors/
sync errors/ corrupt frame errors..etc Someknow if there is
there a prog that can already do this ie. drop the corrupt frame
and jump to the next correct one..? most of the editors like
ifilmedit just report the error and cant fix or do anything with
the affected file..
There is a program called "mpeg repair" that will repair corupted mpeg files.But the program is not easy to get and it isn"t free, but I might me getting a demo and If I do I will post if it is any good and were to get it...
Yeh ever tried to use it.
You need a degree in rocket science, a lot of time and a lot of patience.
It just 'aint worth it bro believe me.
If you wanna fix corrupt frames just try re-encoding the MPEG.
If you wanna fix sync probs use a program which corrects the sync as it multiplexes such as MPEG2VCR or BBMPEG.
Also BBMPEG can sort out your Bufferunder run errors by choosing a different mux rate.
I just got a full version of it , and it can scan your file for errors and re-encode portions of it but they are trying to sell this program for $3000,and the demo only works for a few frames, luckily I can read a bit of code, and re-write a bit to, so I got it to work to as a full version but I"m still trying to figure out how I would use it...i wouldn"t recomend it to anyone unless as elvis says you got a degree in rocket science..
