After conversion from an DV-AVI (32khz-sound) to MPEG with standard VCD or SVCD setting the audio is a little bit distorted. It sometimes has a high frequency sharp metal sound in it when played on a DVD-Player. I think it comes from the conversion 32kHz to 44.1 kHz.
I did also try to seperate the sound into an extra 44.1kHz-wav-file with Virtualdub and used that as input to TMPGEnc... same result.
You can try to resample it using SSRC (Shibatch Sample Rate Converter).
Search with Google.It offers a freeware good quality conversion.TmpegEnc can include it as external resample program.
I used to get the same problem you are having. It used to happen on some of my VCD's. It sounds sort of like a metalized, robotic sound at high frequencies.
Your right it is the sample rate conversion from 32khz to 44.1khz. I found out this was due to the sample rate converter of TMPG not being to good.
Virtual dub can fix it, but this time use your original DV-AVI and make sure that you tick the 'High quality' box when you change the sample rate from 32 to 44.1 in the conversion options.
This should sort your problem.
Techno: I do not want to improve. The 32khz-original-dv-avi-file is ok. The problem is only after converting to 44.1khz.
To all: Thanks for suggestions, i will try the two tips... converting with high quality and also using the shibatch-tool.
I will let you know...
Ashy: Great tip. With using the "High Quality" checkbox the sound is much better.
adv_h67: I did find the tool, but did not test it. Do i need to tell TMPGEnc some parameters when including that tool?
keeping: I am not sure. I think i can set my cam to two different recording-settings... and i think i also have the possibility to receive that via firewire... but i am not sure.
Hello, I start tmpenc Plus under Windows XP. When I Cut a Mpeg1 Movie there come an Error-Message "73ef1d04 read Error occured at 73ef1d04".
What can I do?
im making mpgs for standard pal vcd using tmpgenc v2.5 and the sound quality of any resulting mpg i make is poor, like it has a low sample rate. All the loud or high pitched noises become tinny. also the resulting mpg is very quiet, after burning onto cd and playing on my vcd player through my tv i have to turn the tv volume up to 3/4 to hear the sound. any help would be greatly appreciated
in the audio section of "tmpgenc" you can up the volume so you don"t get that problem,and make sure you use 224kbs audio.....hope this helps.....sherlock
Just answered this one in article No.18360. Let me guess are you using DVD2AVI by any chance to create a wav file? If you are this program always seems to create quiet wavs.
Best way is to use another proggy for the audio such as VOB2AUDIO or run it through Virtual dub and change the sample rate and volume with that, but check out the article above first.
sorry I forgot to mention, the source file is an avi from Premiere, ive tried the adjusting volume level in tmpenc thats sorted out the volume, but it still sounds tinny and not quite right, the sample rate of the original avi is 44100hz and i have tmpgenc set up to 224 kbits stereo, ive checked the avi and it plays just fine, this is driving me mad! :)
When converting asf files to VCD, TMPGEnc freezes. I have tried repairing the files using various tools but to no avail. Is there any way to find out what is going on? Is it a TMPGEnc bug that is waiting to be solved? Any idea would help lessen the frustration. Thanks.
"tmpgenc" isn"t really compatable with asf. files but you can convert it to avi. with asf tools...or you can try re-nameing your asf to avi...but the first option is yer best bet.....
Thanks. Would I lose any quality when converting from asf to avi and then to VCD? I have converted one file from asf to avi using VirtualDub 1.3a as suggested in another forum. I found the video and audio sync was off a little. Is that common for this kind of conversion?
Thanks to you all for the suggestions. Before frameserving, do I have to "clean up" the asf file? I also suspect there may be bad spots in the asf file that could be causing the freeze too. Would TMPGEnc be able to overcome bad spots when frameserving? Please advise. Thanks.
I'm another Studio 7 user, capturing on a pinnacle dc10 card.
The problem I'm having is a little strange. I'll capture video, and
try to convert it with tmpgenc plus.
SOMETIMES when I try and open a file, tmpgenc plus will just hang -
stops responding, but not consuming any CPU.
Other times, it seems to work ok, after about 10-20secs pause.
ALL THE TIME, if I do successfully convert a file, the next file I go
to open will cause tmpgenc plus to hang.
I have tried a couple of codecs, morgan, picvideo (I think - it has a
watermark over it if you haven't registered it), and one other - none
of which seem to work.
Try increasing the AVI VFW and the AVI opendml and the directhow filter to a higher priority in the environment settings. This may solve the problem, if not then the stuff captured with your card is not compatale with TMPGENC.
Did u capture using YU12?
Use these settings to capture for best quality and performance:
320*240
YU12
NO RECOMPRESSION
CD quality audio 44100Hz
22/30fps
This is what I use and have been able to acheive high quality. Take a look at my sample, re-encoded in MPEG2 4 times:
If the app was not at fault it would not give me a bug report. If it was the movie file it would not play in media player, it would not play in winDVD. It plays and opens in everything but this. This app also refuses to open any mpg file correctly leaving out the audio if I am lucky to open the mpg at all.
