i was testing tmpgenc with avi files about 4gig, everthing was allright. yesterday i forgot to turn of the videoplayer and i catured both movies at once a i got an avi file more then 8GB. it look so that tmpgenc can not handle it, because i can not start a batch, i even can not start a single process. i get the message:" write error occured at adress 77F43812 of module 'ntdll.dll' with 01070074"
i am using WINXP on an 1,7XP Athlon
thx for your answer
How do I convert a 16 by 9 film to 4 by 3 in order to burn a VCD for my TV? Having the black bars at the top and bottom is fine. How do I avoid the long, stretched, distorted images?
You file is automaticly converted to 4:3 from 9:16 when encodeing unless you change it...I think your problem is in the "video arange method" use the "full screen keep aspect ratio" option , or use the "center custom size" and choose the original resolution of your avi file...this will make you movie look as close to the original size as possible...

I've had the similar problem before...
Create a temporary file using VirtualDub's frameserver and open it in TMPGenc.
That should work, although this may increase the processing time.
I'd like to create SVCD (MPEG2) files with a still image and high quality music in the background.
Off course I'd like to fit as many files as possible w/o any sacrifice of the quality of the picture as well as the music.
Can any one advise on the settings to use to create a SVCD file from a JPG (still image) and a MP2 file ?
When I encode an MPEG-2 stream to be SVCD compliant, the audio part is in sync at the beginning of the movie. It gets more and more out of sync the longer the movie is (ca. 1/4 sec after 1 hour of movie). This is only the case for ca 50% of the encoded movies (with the same settings). Movies all come from Hauppauge WinTV PVR with the same setting.
The only thing I can think of, is that you're doing a frame rate conversion on the video stream and not on the audio stream. Maybe you'd better handle these two seperate; first the video stream via TMPGenc and later the audio stream via a seperate encoder (or via multiplexing).
It may or may not be coincidence but I seem to be having similar problems with my Hauppauge Win TV captured mpeg movie (see posting below). When using TMPG to create a PAL VCD, the sound track is out of synch and 'clipped' i.e. the sound drops out from time to time though the picture is excellent. When using WinDVD to replay the orginal file, both audio and video play back fine.
When I have used a utility to create a .WAV file from the original mpeg file, the audio plays back ok but slowed down (i.e. everyone has deep voices). I'm not sure therefore whether this is a Hauppauge related problem with the sound capture or whether TMPG is not optimised for Haupauge output???
Is there a way I can make a VCD that claims the same quality as an SVCD to play on a VCD compliant player?? and what are any possible reccomended settings for SVCD/ VCD?
VCD = MPEG-1 stream video
SVCD = MPEG-2 stream video
A VCD player does not recognize MPEG-2 streams; you may try to increase the width and height of your file to match that of a SVCD, but this may not play on your VCD player.
A VCD can never be the quality of an SVCD. Because of the much lower resolution of VCDs it cant match the quality of an SVCD. Even with an raised bitrate.
According to my encoding tests and the judgment of 3 friends which I showed the results making an MPEG1 stream with the bitrate/resolution of an SVCD will give slightly inferiour quality compared to an standard MPEG2 SVCD.(And vice versa)
I guess your file is an SVCD but your player only can play VCDs?
If so you can fool most players with changing the Header of your mpeg file to VCD (non-standard). I fear I dont have time to explain it in detail right now but you have to use File -> MPEG Tools -> Merge & Cut in TMPGEnc.
Basically you load your SVCD file, change Type to MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard) and write it out under a different name.
If you want to encode your own files and your player only can play VCDs you should raise the bitrate of an VCD to at least 1300 to expect reasonable quality. The best bet is to choose an 1-5 minute sample of what you want to encode and try around until youre satisfied(this includes burning to an CD-RW and trying it in your player). Nothing is more frustrating then to realize after 10+ hours of encoding that you made something wrong.
I tried to start the movie converting and when I do a message pops up that it cannot load the P3Package.dll? What is the deal? I used this program before and never had a problem and when I cleaned my system and downloaded the new program I cannot get it to work?
You should really use the search engine at the top of the screen, cuz this question has been answered to many times, what you got to do is go in to your "tmpgenc" folder and copy the "p3p package" into your "system" and "system32" folder.......
I have a large (870mb) mpeg2 file sourced from a Hauppauge Digital TV capture device which plays back perfectly in its native format using Intervideo's WinDVD playback software.
When I tried to convert this via TMPG to VCD format, the picture is excellent quality but the audio track is plays back slow and therefore is out of synch with the pictures. The audio is also dropping out frequently.
Ok, Im trying to make a 10min 30sec avi (42mb) into an mpeg with the following settings in TMPGE:
Video
160x120
10 fps
400 bitrate
Audio
441.hz / Joint stereo 64 kbit
The estimated file size for this is 35 mb , but everytime TMPGE finshes converting the avi into the mpeg the file ends up being 107 mbs. How can I fix this, its driving me crazy!
Thanks for your time =)
Who"s estimated file size?"tmpgenc"s estimated file size? ignore "tmpgenc"s estimates, you either cut the bitrate in half( would look like crap,at 400kbs it should look like crap) or accept the fact that your file is 107mb..
Hi I seem to be having a problem with batch encoding. I am ebatch encoding about 5 files at a time. It used to work fine, but all of a sudden once it has finished encoding the fist file it automatically shuts down. Any ideas as to waht could be causing this?
i get the same thing....i'm using xp pro and i cant get it to encode past the first file. the whole program just closes on me. it's done this for numerous versions now and strangly it worked the first time i tried it with the newest version, but now its back to doing the same thing again. if anyone else has the same problem or has fixed this let me know.
You mean you used vcd gear to burn it and the file was to big so it chopped off 15 minutes? what kind of help do you need?do you still have the full file? if you do chop it in half and burn it on 2 disks? you didn"t give me much to go on here some information would be nice.....
First create a TMPGEnc directory where you want the install to go, like under "Program Files".
Or, create multiple ones under individual user accounts and/or work areas so auto-saved default settings don't step on each other. (Templates are easy to copy around)
Execute the downloaded .exe file and it will let you browse over to the directory(ies) you have created and do the unzip for you.
Create a desktop link to the tmpgenc.exe file and give it a better name.
But this is important: 14 days goes real fast and make sure you only purchase through Ifekx, if possible.
