I was just wondering... I have several DivX files that play with perfect audio sync on my computer, but if I transcode to SVCD via tmpgenc end up with audio losing sync regardless of what settings I use. Regardless of whether I play them with my computer or my DVD player the output files have the same sync issues. While in DivX format they playback flawlessly though...

Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of checking is to make sure you are encoding to 23.97 framerate, because that is what DivX movies are in. VCD's and some SVCD's are 29.97 so this might cause some sync problems. If you haven't already, try encoding just like a FILM stream DVD: SVCD at 23.97 and use the "3:2 pulldown when playback" setting.

My problem is similar but the oposite. When dealing with SOME DIVX files, I get video only. No audio. The AVI plays in Windows Media Player with audio but without in Premiere and other editing apps.

hey guys,I heard that there is supposed to be a new "demo" version comeing out in the near future,I thought they were supposed to put one out every month so they can get around the mpeg2 copyright laws,It has been close to a month since the last one came out...any one herd anything about this????????

I am using TMPGEnc v2.53 (or whatever the newest version is) to encode a MPEG2 stream to a MPEG1 stream. On my PIII-850 system with 512M of RAM, the encoding starts and then 30 minutes into it crashes. I get the message that the app has caused a error and will be shut down. I am running Win 2000 Pro. On this system, TMPGEnc tells me the expected time to finish the conversion is 2.5 hours. I look at the Dr. Watson dump log, but cannot make any heads or tails of it.

I also have a AMD Athalon 750 system with 768M of RAM and also running Win 2000 Pro. TMPGEnc running the identical conversation as above (MPEG2 to MPEG1), even using the same exact files, finishes no problem. The only thing is the conversion takes 5.5 hours. So, I would like to use the above system to do the conversion.

Does anyone have any idea why the first system always craps out? I have tried older versions of TMPGEnc with the exact same results. Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Idownloaded a some music vids and a couple of movies and I want to put it on a VCD to play in the DVD player in my car. I am new to the program so I don't really know how to work it. When I use Easy CD Creator 5 and try to add it the it has "X" in the bitrate collumn as well as others. Can someone reccomend new ways of recording like Nero and how do I manipulate it so that it will record with ECDC5?

Thanx

Hi. I've been preparing some VCD movies for burning onto a DVD (and being playable on standalone players), so I've been converting all the audio tracks from 44.1kHz to 48kHz. I use SSRC 1.29 for the resampling, and tooLAME 0.2i for re-encoding. I've been able to resample and recompress 40 of the 41 audio tracks without incident, but when I've finished with SSRC on one of them and TMPGEnc moves on to tooLAME, tooLAME crashes consistently at the same frame each time. The original video and the de-multiplexed audio files play fine, but this keeps happening! TMPGEnc isn't affected, but tooLAME is shut down immediately and the job can't finish. Any thoughts?

(I couldn't find a tooLAME board to post this on...)

I cant help you there ... but I would be very gratefull for an link to the tooLame binary =) Last time I searched all downloadpages were extinct :(

cheers

Go here M8: http://www.macdvd.org/trnsz/Compiles/TooLAME-0.2i-Win32.zip

thanks alot :-)

Well, I'm glad that's settled. Now, anyone know how to help me?

Why don't you just disable TOOlAME as an external encoder if it's just for that one file. I'm sure you won't get a dramatic decrease in quality.

On the other hand I wouldn't use either of the programs you are using to resample and encode as I find this way TOO slow.

I have tried the method you are using as I used to find that the sample converter in TMPG used to give a computerized ringing sound to some high pitched vocals after I had encoded to VCD.
This was cured by using SSRC. I then used TOOLAME as the encoder as it is said this a high quality encoder. This is true, but far too slow.

So I use a program called MPEGDJ encoder. With this program you can resample and encode a WAV file to an Mp2 file to the specific requirements for a VCD I.E. 44.1khz, 224kbps, Mp2.
The quality is high and is at least four times quicker than any other encoder.

If you want to give it a try check out: http://www.xaudio.de/pages/encoder.html

Let me know if it helps.

For the sake of consistency, I'd rather stick with tooLAME (which hasn't been that slow on my machine). Thanks anyway.

Version 2.53 of TMPTEnc
Using referenced quicktime .mov files.
Prior versions of TMPTEnc would encode these files.
Present version shows black scene, but gives not error message.
Referenced QT .mov files are files that point to the actual
.mov files, which are files on disk directly recorded from
camera DV files, using Cinestream (formerly EditDV), which
employes Radius codec for DV files.
Important the program take **referenced** qt files, as did
prior versions of TMPGEnc, since long encoding of .mov
files is not required prior to mpeg encoding.
Help appreciated.

My system keeps crashing after 6 second of encoding.

I have a 750 AMD Athelon with 756 meg of ram using an ATI 128 Raedon video card. I never had problems with any program crashing this system. I've been able to show 4 movies on 4 different monitors at the same time and no frame lose. I followed the settings for the movie I am trying to convert. It is a DVIX avi encoded movie 23.976 fps. This is the settings the program picks up
MPEG-1 720x416 23.976fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 192kbps

Anyone have a clue as how to set the setting?

Thanks

your aspect ratio is way out you can"t have a vcd compliant mpeg1 at 720 by 416 you can"t go bigger than the standard.........

Is the 2 pass-vbr mode really any better or faster in Plus ? What does it mean "full mpeg 2 encoding" ? Has it been encoding only half way ? Worth the $48

yes it has only been encodeing half way ,even less because the mpeg2 only lasts for 2 weeks,and yes it is worth a lot more than $48 ,more than 10 times that much..the only encoder that is compareable in any way is the "cinema craft encoder" and if you want to but that it is going for a discounted rate of $2000.
and that encoder is only better in the speed of encodeing(5-10 times faster)
TMPGENC has better picture quality cuz you can adjust the color ect..
so I wouldn"t complain about your $48.....

try changing the res to a lower setting

Hi,

I've got an Avi file compressed with AngelPotion V1 codec. How can i convert it into SVCD ? When i try, only the video works, the audio is not recognized by TmpgEnc.

Thanks

try vcdhelp.com - there you see instrections on how to extract the audio with virtual dub.... or if you know how, you may try that, http://www.vcdhelp.com/divxtovcd.htm - this shows, maybe virtual dub can seperate the two then you can rejoin them in tmpge. ??

I try with VirtualDub but i always have an error on audio saying that the rate and channels count for input are not compliant and in file information, the audio compression is unknown. May be because the AnelPotion codec i not correctly install, i read that it can be necessary to reinstall Divx 3.11 for this codec.
Is there a convertion tools for AngelPotion->Divx3.11 or 4.12?
Thanks

Hi,

Is TmpgEnc compliant with Divx 5 ?

Thanks,
Philippe

It doesn't seem like it!

Techno

divx 5 seems to work fine in tmpgenc on my system 800mhz celeron 384mb ram..I think every ones system seems to have different quirks were one system can do something another of the same systems can"t...

DivX 5 and the following worked for my installation.
PIII and W2K sp2

From www.vcdhelp.com:

"If TMPGEnc gives you an error message(file unsupported) when opening
the video or you just get a empty/black video preview window Be sure
that you have installed the DivX Codecs (both DivX 3.11, 4 and 5) and
also try with the Nimo Codec Pack. If that does not work try to change
the settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI
plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and
increase the priority to 1 or 2 and try open the video."
