Question - TE25 - Picture flips on screen when in DVD player No.17833
MATT  2002-04-02 04:58:13 ( ID:k9yuqmdesvk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I used tmpeg encoder to write mpeg files to cd-r but when played on the dvd player, the picture roles constantly. What have I done wrong?
Thanks,
Matt

you might have confused PAL with NTSC.. usually american things are NTSC... you have to set everything to the same form. on my dvd player there's a ntsc/pal switch.. maybe that might work.. well im sorta bad at this but i tried to help =)



Question - TE25 - Reducing Bitrate Isn't Reducing File Size No.17827
Bondiablo  2002-04-02 03:16:01 ( ID:kuea60bzpjj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm using TMPGEnc 2.53 and loading a *.d2v and *.wav file saved from DVD2AVI then trying to convert it to a mpeg1 file to make a VCD on an 80 min disc. If I use the standard VCD NTSC settings the resulting file size of the *.mpg is 835MB. I tried reducing the bitrate to 1050 kbps which showed an estimated file size of 776MB but 5+ hours later the finished *.mpg file was again 835MB. I tried once more, this time reducing the bitrate all the way down to 900 kbps with an estimated file size of 685MB, but again 5+ hours later my finished *.mpg file was 835MB. Any ideas what could be going wrong?


sherlock  2002-04-02 03:28:54 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

the minimun bit rate that most players will play is 1150kbs,I think this could be a default setting in tmpgenc,but I read this in "vcd help" but dont know if it will work,try encodein your avi. to wmv/asf then encode to mpeg1,but I don"t see how this would make a differance,but this guy swears on his life that it does........good luck

ps:you only need to loose about 35mb to fit on a cd,so extract the audio and re-encode it at half the bit rate, then put them back to together,this should work..


Bondiablo  2002-04-02 03:46:29 ( ID:k0nbe6g.fno )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

1150 is the default setting but I should be able to use a lower video bitrate in order to fit the file on 1 CD and I don't want to change the audio.


sherlock  2002-04-02 04:33:03 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

you should be able to lower the bit rate,and I don"t know why it doesn"t work,have you tried the over burn option in nero it allows you to burn a bit more than the cd says it holds, but I never have tried it.......


Ashy  2002-04-02 12:25:54 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The reason why your file size is staying the same is because you have used the NTSC video template and then just 'Unlocked' the settings and changed the bitrate.
This will work fine for PAL, but not for NTSC.
It happens because you have selected the NTSC template to create a standard Video cd and no matter how low you alter the bitrate TMPG will add padding to the movie which is why you are getting the same file size.

Remember you are now making a non standard Video cd, so you must change the settings accordingly.

To remedy the problem click 'Setting' then click the 'System' tab and change the Stream type to 'MPEG-1 Video cd (non standard)' This should rememdy your problem. Don't worry Nero will still see it as a compliant VCD as long as the other settings are standard.

The other thing I should tell you about before you re-encode is that it's unecessary if you still have the MPEG which you reduced to 1050 kbps.
The simple thing to do is to open up TMPG and goto FILE and click MPEG TOOLS from the menu.
Click the 'Simple multiplex' tab and using the 'Browse' button put the same MPEG file in both the 'Video input' and 'Audio input' boxes.
Next choose your 'Output' and give the file a different name.
Then where it says 'Type' make sure you choose 'MPEG-1 Video cd (Non standard)'

Click run and the padding will be removed and you should have a smaller file which can still be burned in Nero as a compliant VCD.

Let me know if it helps.

Thanks. That was driving me nuts but you were right, that fixed it. I tried a bunch more times after that too, though I did switch to a 2 minute video for testing purposes after those first 2 trys seemed to fail.

Im try ing to burn a vcd with nero,but nero keeps saying that the audio is not compliant with vcd,the audio is 2 channel 48000khz 192kbs,so I changed it to 1 channel 48000khz 192kbs,now it says it is still not compliant,is says 48000khz 1 channel is not compliant,so now it wants me to do sterio 224kbs 41000khz,but the original is at 48000khz,wont this make it go out of sync?it has allways accepted every audio stream I have tried,it must be cuz the original is 2 channel dolby surround what is going wrong....thanx


sherlock  2002-04-02 03:39:15 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

no matter what I do to the audio nero says it isn"t vcd compliant,the movie is "snatch" the box says it has a 2 channel surround and dolby digital 5.1,which one should I use? and how do I know which track is which? whan I rip the dvd and extract all the audio tracks there is one 2 channel track and 4 six channel tracks,I am totaly confused as to what track will work, please help???


Ashy  2002-04-02 12:45:46 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The VCD you are creating is not being accepted because it is NOT standard! and there is no way NERO has ever accepted those settings for VCD without complaining. You must have created a SVCD for Nero to accept those settings without complaining.

The reason for your dilema is because your sample rate is wrong. You must change it to 44100khz two channel stereo.
It doesn't matter if the original was 48000khz or dolby or or not. You won't lose sync.

The audio channel you should choose when ripping a DVD should always be the 6 track dolby digital channel. Most DVD ripper/encoders such as DVD2AVI down mix these six tracks to a wav in to a two channel stereo track.

Does anyone know what I have to do to get my nero to recognize the encoded movie as NTSC. I have tried everything with no luck. PLease help me!


sherlock  2002-04-02 02:36:00 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

what do you mean recognize it as ntsc?if you use a ntsc template and burn it in ntsc you shouldn"t have any problems,what error messages are you getting?


adrian752  2002-04-03 00:00:01 ( ID:k6mn8elwcmo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

when i used to encode movies in the past, i always checked to see if they encoded right and they were in NTSC form before i would start burning them. Now i am doing the exact same thing but mu burner does not recognize the file as NTSC. I have tried using nero and ez cd creator roxio and they both can't recognize it. I think i'm doing everything right because i have done it in the past. I did load the template everytime. I'm not getting any error messages but when i go to play it in my dvd player it does nothing.
i hope you have some ideas because i'm stuck
thanx

Does anyone know the difference between TMPGEnc and CCE Lite? Is it speed, quality etc. Also, is CCE Lite worth $250 when compared to TMPGEnc for $50.

Thanks, Bob

cce lite sucks compared to "tmpgenc". cce sp is the only compareable encoder out there.....

you can change the contrast,and the bright in the settings,or you can adjust your tv....


Ashy  2002-04-02 15:27:36 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Exactly what software are you using to burn this MPEG. It must just be your eyes that are telling you it is darker on your TV because the brightness is lower.
Either that or the brightness is actually low on your PC as well but not as noticable because you have a wrong setting in TMPG. Make sure you untick any colour correction boxes under the advanced tab in TMPG and while we're at it what programs are you using to using to rip the vobs. i.e DVD2AVI or something.

Request - TE25 - Pause for encoding No.17802
SomeOne  2002-04-01 22:37:41 ( ID:t3q4wtv43bf )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It will be grate to have pause for encoding process. In this case you can pause encoding, hibernate computer and continue later.


sherlock  2002-04-02 00:37:38 ( ID:a6p1jd3ovjw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

you can pause the encodeing,but you can"t turn off your computer..you just press stop and when it asks you to abort encodeing just don"t answer.You can leave it like that forever...


Ashy  2002-04-02 12:49:22 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

That is the way to do it. You can then Hibernate your computer and it will start up again exactly where you left off.

Mark, I got that same error you got. I tried wat techno said but it didn't work. I did some more research and noticed I got that error at the point where my file was encoded 75%. I tried encoding it several times. Then I looked at my source file and that video frame at 75% was damaged in my source thats y you get that error. I just divided my file in 2 parts skipping that messed up frame and it works. Try it... I don't think those settings which techno and sherlock are telling you to uncheck have anything to do with it.

Question - TE25 - Bit Rate, File Size, and Quality No.17790
Bob  2002-04-01 19:16:40 ( ID:jriqs5zyiyj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

I would like to fit a 125min MPEG-1 Movie on a 700mb CD. I've read that if you reduce the bitrate, that will reduce the file size and subsequently degrade the picture quality. Has anyone ever tried this to see what affect is has. As an example , if you decrease the bit rate by 10%, does this shrink the file size by 10%, and create a 10% decrease in picture quality?

Thanks, Bob


Techno  Home )  2002-04-01 19:20:07 ( ID:82zqdopxre6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

if ur trying to make a VCD then nero used timscale, not file size.

yes, decreasing the bitrate degrades quality and reduces file size.

if you go to "vcd help.com" there is an article there by some guy who says he can get 120min on a vcd with out changeing the bit rate,and he tell"s you how,but "I DON"T BELIEVE IT" ,but you can check it out and give it a try........

I have download the MPEGS created with this new method of downsizing to fit on one SVCD/VCD disk. Quality is definitely better than VCD but not as good as SVCD but amazing. The template for doing this with TMPGEn has been posted. It's kind of analogous to 1/2 DV vs. full DV but SVCD.


Sara Marr  2002-04-02 09:51:11 ( ID:wsiilbqc0in )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]
