When I was converting Zoolander from avi (divx) to supervideo cd, an error message appears saying "Illegal floating decimal point calculation order". Now, what can I do?
I bet you downloaded the avi file of the net like "kaaza" or "grokster" or something like that...Downloaded avi files are notorius for being full of corrupted frames,and that is what your problem is,you file has corrupted sectors in it,and the only way to get around this error is to turn off your "cpu" optimizations.. to do this you first go to"enviromental settings" then to the "cpu" tab and uncheck the "SSE" box, then you go to "settings" then to "quantize matrix" and un-check the "use floating point DCT" this should solve your problem,accept you can get this error if you do anything with your computer while encodeing, so if you are encodeing don"t do anything with your computer till the encodeing is finished......
Whenever i load an mpeg-2(SVCD) file in TMPGEnc the program crashes and askes me if i want to tell microsoft about it. Before i was able to load the same files and it would work fine. Can you help me fix that please?
Post your opinion of the best Settings for clearity/quality in DIVX 4 codec here or the bitrate you consider the most used by you for such endeavour. Thanks Tmpgenc Rules!!~NewtronX
The higher the bitrate the better I use divx4.12, 2 pass or 1 pass quality based 6000kbs 100% encodeing quality(can only be set with quality based)100% cpu useage ,de-interlace if applicable,max decodeing perameters, and It comes out allmost exactly like the original,and there is no such thing as overkill when it comes to quality.......
you can encode "mov" movies but you need the "mov" plugin, I"m not sure were to get it cuz I don"t do "mov" films but i"m sure someone will post were you can get it.....
I'm testing tmpgenc during the 30 day trial. First project I want to tackle is the creation of new setup screen for my dvd player.
I extracted the mpg2 files from firmware. Opened in tmpgenc and sequenced to bmp file.. looks great.
edited my bmp file using MSPAINT (very simple change, I'm testing). opened bmp file in tmpgenc and save to mpg2...
no matter WHAT settings I change, the resulting mpg2 file is extremely bad looking. Lots and lots of jpg-type compression loss. I should have enuf horsepower to do this, Win2k on a P4- 1.5 GHz...
maybe try to encode your "bmp" images to avi then try to encode them to mpeg,I have done simular stuff with "cool 3d" I make animated trailers for my svcd"s in "bmp" then convert them to avi then encode them to mpeg useing the cg/animation setting in "tmpgenc".Maybe this would work for you....
Are you using a high enough bitrate for the conversion.
I have converted bitmaps to MPEG once or twice and they have come out perfectly.
So make sure you have a high enough bitrate set when converting.
Also what player do you have. I'm interested to know how you extracted the setup screen from the firmware and how you are able to change it.
recently, I was working on Titanic...and I noticed that the audio track
disappears entirely in TmpgEnc! I used DVD2avi to produce the sound track, but when I go to encode in TmpgEnc, there is no audio.
However, when I use Dvd2avi on the VOB files 2 at a time, then encode in segments, the audio is fine.
Has anyone else noticed this with long movies?
cheers,
Don
Sometimes audio problems like this can be solved by getting a different audio encoder like "toolame" or "scmpx" thes encoders work with "tmpgenc" as the "external tool" in the "enviromental settings".You can find these encoders on any search engine......
Thanks a bunch, ASHY for the suggestion/info on CQ as opposed to CQVBR or 2Pass. I hadn't tried CQ because I was under the impression that the CQ was more for when high quality was necessary and file size wasn't an issue.
Using CQ with quality set to 70 and max bitrate set to 5000, I was able to get results that were almost identical to the 2pass settings I mentioned earlier without the 18-hour encoding time. It wasn't even necessary to enable softening.
Loading the test file (of the same scene) in BitRate Viewer showed much more variation in the bitrate than CQ_VBR had given.
Just as I would have expected.
Like I said the 'CQ' setting gives much the same result as the 2 pass when viewing with Bitrate viewer and usually produces smaller file sizes and better quality than if you were to use the same settings in 'Automatic VBR'.
while trying to convert an avi file to mpeg , tmpeg gets so fasr through the process then comes up with this error , i have scanned the file for any nreadable sectors with vitual dub , and all seems fine , could anyone shed a little light on this for me please
thanx
just tried my 1st svcd, wasnt sure if dvd plays it, it did. picture went from top to bottom but only half way across. i had my aspect at 4:3 i must need to change something but not sure what. thanx
Make sure the "video arrange method" is set at "full screen (keep aspect ratio)" and your movie should look as close the the original size as possible...
I have an audio problem when I transfer my video from my DV camcorder to my computer through the 1394 port and VideoWave software. Video is OK. Audio is not continuous. When I do the transfer, there is nothing I can do for audio setup. I checked the audio is 32 KHz, Stereo and 16 bits. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me help to solve the problem.
If you use the wizard for this.........Don't!
You just go to the main window and click the LOAD-button.
There you have several files (.mcf).
If you choose one of those there will be no more problem.

You haven't given much info. What OS are you using? Does the system hang at exactly the same time when you use TMPGEnc, or at some random point while encoding? Is it one particular file you're trying to encode that's causing the problem?
I had problems a couple of weeks ago with TMPGEnc 2.53 on my XP system. Ocassionally it would stiff the machine. In the end, I found that lowering the CPU clock speed sorted it out completely, now everything is very stable even with TMPGEnc chugging away in the background.
I happen to be running TMPG plus 2.54 on Win XP using a P4 1.7ghz processor overclocked at 1.9ghz and 256mb of RAM so I find it hard to believe it is your processor speed.
Does this happen with only 2.54 plus?
It could be you have a corrupt version of TMPG plus 2.54 if it only happens on this version.
What is your motherboard and have you tried updating it's drivers?
