I have a problem, i just reformated and when i decompressed a dvd rip, i was going to encode an avi video into mpeg format using TMPGEnc, and it told me that i needed direct x so i downloaded the lastest version from the microsoft website, and also downloaded divx 3.11 alpha and divx 5.0 pro, but even though, while encoding, it encodes but the problem is that ----> THE VIDEO IS NOT RUNNING WHILE I AM ENCODING, and when it is done encoding, only the audio plays. This has happened ever since I reformated my hard drive so it might be something (like a codec) that i need to install or something, but i dont know why the video does not play while i am encoding the movie, i am waiting to encode a movie so PLEASE respond, email me!!!

Donno if this helps you any but i had the same problem and divx 5 was the problem so i downloaded 4.12 and problem was solved

I also had this problem just installed 4.11 DIVX and it works :)

when I use the merge and cut feature,the movie in the screen is upside down and in negitive,the same when I try to play it in media player,it plays fine in power dvd,do I have to get rid of power dvd ,I have mpeg1/2 play back built in to my video card,so I shouldn"t have this problem,and I have all the codecs,well the good ones,the movies are fine when I burn them so it"s no big deal,I just want to know.........thanx

I had the same problem I installed Tsunami-Filter-Pack and Nimo Codec Pack they installed a Bicubic size codec and this somehow invert and do lots of stuff to the video. They also include a GX400 that is kind of like a Gui so you can change features in those codecs on mine I told it to permanently invert the output.

I have read that some people complaint that a mpg looks good in the DVD player but not that good in the computer. The answer was that the DVD Player have an integrated Bicubic sizer on it (of course by software) and that the reason for the codec to get better result on playback of your VCD or SVCD.

I cant seem to get a picture when im encoding an avi file! The sound quality is fine! Can some1 help?

I have the same problem! when I encode AVI2MPEG the sound is perfect but I don't have any pictures!

I've tried in many differents streams types and it doesnt work !
Is this a maximum frame on to encode on this software or stuff like this?

Plz help me!!!!(help us)!:)

I done what u said 2 do with avi files! But it now comes up with audio error! Do u know how to fix it?

ive got it working now! But i cant see the movie working on the screen! Is that meant to happen?

The Audio is working but the picture is not aprearing

The Audio is working but the picture is not aprearing

what kind of avi. are you trying to encode?if it is a dvix5 it isn"t very compatible,and just haveing the divx5 codec can cause problems,I don"t know what to say cuz I don"t know your movie specs,or what you are trying to encode to......

I've seen nimo 4.4 mentioned a couple of times and i downloaded it, but i can't open it, get a weird error message.

What now?

Use the latest one. 5.5

www.divx-digest.com/software (codecs and filters)

Use the second link.

If not working, goto www.google.com and search for nimo filter pack v5.5

hi, I fairly new to ripping, but have been encodeing for a long time,but my question is ,when I use smartripper it seems to make a d2v. file without useing dvd2avi,there is no audio track,is this supposed to happen?is the d2v. useable?

Absolutely. There is no need to create another d2v file as the one smartripper creates is just the same without the audio.
To extract the audio do a search on google for VOB2AUDIO.
You will also find this method much quicker.

Hi!

Im using DVD2AVI to demux AC3 from VOB files. After this a delay value is in the AC3-Filename. My question is now, is it this value that I have to enter in the "Audio Gap Correct" field in the "Source Range" settings? I tried but I think the sound is still out of synch. Then I tried to enter the negative delay value and results seemed to be better, but I'm not quite sure. Does anybody know exactly, if I have to enter the "original" value or the negated value? I tested only with a sound file with a delay of -88ms (stated by DVD2AVI) so the difference is not easily noticeable.
SmartRipper also outputs these DELAY values in the filename. Are these the same or are they inverted? Didn't have a chance to verify this.

Answer me a question why are you extracting the Ac3 if you are only going to encode it to mp2 in TMPG, this seems pointless to me.
Save yourself the hassle of messing with audio gap settings and just decode the VOB to a wav file and use that in TMPG.

I demux the AC3 from the VOBs because I want to convert it with Azid to WAV. I know that DVD2AVI can convert AC3 to WAV itself, but I have better results using Azid. And it's also faster than DVD2AVI's own AC3 -> WAV conversion. The resulting WAV is then used as Audio source for TMPGEnc.

You seem to be doing things a very long way round when there are much simpler methods.
Anyway once you have created a wav from the AC3 you shouldn't need to alter gap settings.
If u want to try a much simpler way and probably faster than your method. This is the fastest method I have used anyway and produces the best quality as I find DVD2AVI produces audio which is to quiet and needs to be amplified.
Using this method the audio doesn't need any more fine tuning.
Do a search on google for a program called VOB2AUDIO. If you need some info on how to use the program then go here:

I upgraded to Windows XP and downloaded TmpgEnc Encoder, put the vfapi files in the same folder and ran (tmpgencvfp_install). It can't even see the files i've made using dvd2avi in d2v format.. Help, I've done what your web site told me to do, anything else?

I just encountered the same problem in XP after moving the ripped files from one directory to another. Just as a thought, I re-ripped the files and everything was ok. It must have been the moving of files that confused things. Hope this helps...

Easy solution Matt. Just copy this file DVD2AVI.vfp from your DVD2AVI folder into the same folder as your TMPGenc.exe and your d2v files should be supported again.
Another point to anyone else, DONT move or delete any of the vob files or the d2v file until you have finished encoding or it won't work.

Ive been trying to encode The Lord Of the Rings Screener! Cd1 worked fine! But i can get the other 3 parts to work audio wise! Its all glichy and cuts off all the way through the cd!! Does anyone know how i could fix this?

tr to extract the audio as wav using virtualdub and change the freq. Sample rate to 44100Hz if not already.

Play the wav at the bits cutting out.

If it's fine then re-encode, if not then it could be a corrupted vid/audio stream

When I try selecting a .d2v file as a video source it gives me an error that it does not recognize it as a valid source. Please help

I had the same problem then I realized that i deleated the vob files after I made the d2v file,then I found out that tmpgenc uses the vob files to make the mpeg1/2 files,and keep the d2v and the vob"s in the same place.,and make sure you have the dvd2avi plugin in the enviromental settings of tmpgenc...hope this helps?...

ps:try changeing the priority of the vfapi plugins.eg:dvd2avi,

Hi! Guys:
Is there any one ever import a m2v file generated by TMPGEnc working probally in DVD studio pro in Mac?
I can import my m2v file to DVD studio pro, but I can not set a marker.
I can only play it from the beginning.
I think there must be a setting I don't know; setup for the output of mpeg2.

Thanks.

I am having a similar problem with this program as many of the people in this BBS. I am using the latest version os TMPGEnc. Whenever I try to encode an AVI into an MPG, it says "cannot open or is unsupported". I tried to used divx codec 4.12 and no luck. Then I downloaded 3.11 and no luck.

Can someone please help me?? Or give me a link to another codec?? I hear v5 doesn't work with this.

under Options>Task Priority.... I have set them both to highest also and it still isn't working. I'm using a 1.1 GHz Athlon with a 32 MB GF2. I don't get why its not working.

Have you tried

enviromental settings >> VFAPI plug in >>> direct show multimedia file reader and changing the priotity of that higher

is it avi or MPEG u r trying to encode?

if avi then set the avi vfw and the avi opendml to a higher priority
