I have the latest version of TMPGenc and have been producing vcd's successfully for some time now.However, I've just made my first SVCD and although the quality is excellent,I am having trouble with the merge and cut option.When Itry to edit the file I get an error saying "Could not open this file with DerectShow.(0x80040200).Do I need another plugin? I have been able to to cut the file using bbmepg, but would like to keep all actions in the one program. HELP PLEASE!!!
The simple answer is you probably need some kind of MPEG2 codec installed on your system to open the file.
Yes I know it's daft that TMPG can't open it's own MPEG2 files, but TMPG only has support for creating and not opening MPEG2 files.
Thanks for the reply,but I had already found the answer elsewhere in the forum (answered by you anyway I think!) Sorry for wasting your time. I will certainly be using this forum again. YOU GUYS ARE KICKASS. Very enlightening!!!!
I guess you're having the same problem I have. It has to do with an audio codec that you have to install. I think minion or ashy can give you better advice.
Ok i have a DVDrip svcd ntsc 29.xxxfps. what im looking to do is to re-encode it so i can make the screen height slightly bigger. Ive tryed using the sample of the film first and loading it into tmpgenc with a standard svcd ntsc setting, then using the advanced part to resize the film, it all works fine, but the audio is out of sync. is there a different way that i can do this? or is tmpgenc ok and ive just got settings wrong?
Plz help.
Thx
Well the simple thing I can tell you is that it is only necessary to encode the video part of the film not the audio.
Set up TMPG to encode the movie then choose the video only option on the right.
After encoding go to the MPEGtools and place your new movie into the video field of the 'simple multiplex' option and place your old movie which has the audio in the audio field.
Look where it says 'Type' and choose the MPEG-2 SVCD(VBR) option then just click run and your movie will combined with the sound from the original movie.
after ruining 10 cds i realize i have much more to learn.lately my dvd player comes up as cd only when trying to play my vcds. is there any good way to look at your video both before its run through tmpg and after to see just what youve got? later would be helpful to see if it will burn correctly. thanx
You should allways look at your mpeg after encodeing to make sure that the encodeing has worked,I use "power dvd" to view my mpeg"s and if it looks good on your computer it will probably work on your tv......
OK, basically i have a DVDrip svcd film. But it has a very narrow screen(widescreen). Is there any software that will let me re-encode it so i can make the screen size slightly bigger.Ive tryed tmpgenc-plus to split the mpg file, i got a mp2 and a m2v files, but tmpgenc does not support m2v files when i try to load them back in. what program should i use to merge the 2 files and allow me to alter the screen size? or is there another program to do this?
You can load your m2v and mp2 files in "tmpgenc" but you probabbly need the "mpeg2" plugin,I"ll send it to you in your email.I don"t think you will be able to make the frame size bigger but you can stretch the frame out so it looks bigger and you can cut the black borders off the top and bottom,but it you are turning a "svcd/mpeg2 to a "vcd/mpeg1" the frame should fill your screen..
shouldn"t your dvd authoring program tell you if it is compliant,With "nero" after you drag your mpeg into the program window it scans the file for dvd compliance...so you can use that as a tool for telling you if your file is dvd compliant and use it as a damn good authoring program.........
I'm trying to convert divx file into video-cd mpeg. When I play the resulting mpeg in Windows Media Player I get no sound. I loaded settings for video-cd. And the divx avi file I got has good sound. Please advise.
The audio from your divx file isn"t supported by "tmpgenc"..get "virtua dub" and extract the audio from your divx to a wav file. then encode this file as the audio source, but if your audio in your divx is "ac3" you will need a "ac3 decoder" to extract the audio to a wav file......
I know there is such thing as xsvcd, but is it better quality than svcd? If it is, how? The bitrate is much smaller and same with video size. Are there any good templates out there? Thanks!
XVCD can be better than svcd,a xvcd is just a vcd with higher bitrate so any bitrate higher than the standard vcd is a xvcd.xvcd is the way to go if you are doing mpeg1,but if you are going to crank up the bitrate a bunch you might as well do super-vcd,the super vcd"s I do have a higher bitrate than the standard super vcd..if you have a svcd with a bitrate of 2500kbs and a xvcd with 3500kbs the xvcd could be better quality but a bitrate that high with mpeg1 just isn"t practicle mught as well do super vcd,I send you some xvcd templates in your e-mail...
Im using a Sony CCD-TRV608 and saving the video via USB in MPEG format.
I have to use TMPG to convert the Default MPEG to a MPEG compliant VCD.
I have tried a number of differnet settings but get he same results. The video looks better but still the delay in sound. The default MPEG plays fine in WMPlayer but after encoding it has a delay. Im getting a 5 second delay between the video and sound once the video is burned to CD.
You are trying to make mpeg1 into vcd compliant?there are a couple of things that could work the easiyest thing would be if you captured to 352 by 240 and just put the vcd headers on the file with the "merge and cut" feature, then you wouldn"t have to encode your captures just run them through the merge and cut to put the vcd headers on and burn it to a disk.there is a feature in the "source range" were you can off-set the audio or video to a chosen time so you can sync up your file,bbmpeg has a multiplexor that you can use to off-set the audio ....just a few sugestions....
oohhh, there is a program called "mpeg vcr" that has a easy to use "multiplexor" that you can use to sync up your audio and video stream.You should be able to find a demo of the program if you search through "google".and get different burning software"Roxio" sux the big one, get "nero burning rom"
you can download a fully functioning demo from www.nero.com ........
What format is the source MPEG you have captured?
I.E what is the resolution what is the audio format?
If the audio is 441000khz MPEG1 layer2 or mp2 to give it's short name then you can simply multiplex this audio with your re-encoded MPEG (if that's even necessary)
If the file is MPEG1 it may not be necessary to re-encode at all.
Just run it through the simple multiplex option or the Merge&Cut feature in MPEGtools in TMPG and choose the MPEG1 VCD option to add the correct headers to the file to make it VCD compliant and then burn in NERO or VCDeasy.
