Just got a new encoded file with the extention .ogm TMPGenc can't convert it to mpg to burn to disc, and I seem to be having trouble finding a tool to convert it to mpg. Anyone hve any pointers or suggestions?? Thanks!
I am trying to convert an MPG to AVI. I originally was doing it on a FAT32 drive and it errored out when the file got to 3.99G. So I converted the drive to NTFS. XP sees it as NTFS and it works fine. But now when I export to AVI, it gets 100% of the way done, but the file is only 4GB (should be more like 7) and it won't play in Media Player.
First email me back at rwong48@hotmail.com if you have an answer, thanks
I have a couple AVIs that i want to encode to VideoCD NTSC compatible MPGs. The AVI doesn't use a DivX codec, but a Microsoft High-Speed MPEG-4 codec. I've tried changing it to DivX using VirtualDub.. It wouldn't support it. I need to change it into a DivX AVI first.. Then to an VCD mpeg. I need help!! I am encoding a whole series and i need it all..
Why do you need to change it to Divx first?
If you have the codec installed on your system with which you created the AVI then any program should be able to open the file including TMPG and Virtualdub.
Tmpg will open any AVI file as long as the right codec is present. If you are having problems opening the file in these programs then this suggests to me you dont have the required codecs installed on your system.
I try to transform a divx to mpeg (vcd) and on the second part of the file, I alway get (at the same place) a stream error. Is there something I can do to correct that?

Hello,
I recently downloaded the latest version of TMPEgnc. When I open it up, and click on browse for Video output, I find my .avi file i click open. However, then always the same error appears which is: can not read, or unsupported. I have tried this with many different .avi files.
Please help.
Thanks a lot.
Very much appreciated.
can anyone tell me how to make a vcd where the bottom with the subtitles will not be cut off. what are the settings i need to make when encoding? And does it also depend on the source video's size ratio that determines the outcome of the encoding.
I'm trying to burn a test DVD from DVDit using files I encoded in TMPGEnc, but get the error "Each GOP Header must be preceeded by a sequence header." The files play fine in DVDit and PowerDVD, but it just wont let me create a disc with them.
I've tried using the Wizard settings in TMPGEnc as well as the ones in the Doom9 article, but get the same results. The TMPGEnc website seems to be down, so no luck there. I'm sure it's something simple, but what?
Click on the "Setting" button in the main screen, then the "GOP Structure" tab. Make sure "Output Interval of sequence header:" is set to 1. That should work.
Can TMPGEnc encode AVI files into MPEG2 fundamental MPEG2 streams? What I want is instead of outputting .MPG files, I want to get .MPA (audio) and .MPV (video) files instead. This helps to save time when building the DVD project with Sonic DVDIt!.
what you can do is after you are done encodeing,try to "multi-plex" it,then you will be left with a video filr and a audio file...hope this is what you wanted?...
You mean "de-multiplex". Can TMPGEnc do this by itself at the time of output? Because DVDIt! can take .MPA and .MPV files and it saves time if I used these files as input of the DVD project as opposed using .MPG files.
My problem occurs when I try to encode divx-files into mpeg-files. I've tried several couples of movies but I never get the sound. I've also tried to convert the sound in the divx-file into a wav-file and then used it as the audiosource, but it didn't work anyway. Am I just stupid and have forgot any important issue or has more then me the same problem?
I also cannot get sound, dunno why I have tried both types of audio stream and am trying to convert a divx file, I am also running windows 2000, anyone have a fix?
After some hard working I finally got the sound to work. Maybe this method can help u to jonnyrotten. I used the program VirtualDub to convert the sound into a wav-file and the simply used this one as the audiosource in TMPGenc. When converting sound with VirtualDub you had to do some settings that I wasn't familiar with. But the nice thing is that there's a really good site that tells everything of how to convert the sound right, aswell as the video. http://www.vcdhelp.com/divxtovcd.htm
Maybe someone can be helped with this method.
I have two machines. I tried both machines with the same testing Div AVI file as the source and convert it to MPEG. One machine can get it with sound and the other cannot. I suspect I must have install some drivers in the working machine so that it is working fine while the other is not.
I got too many drivers installed on the working machine so I have no idea which driver helps to get the work done.
Need to have more tries before I can find an answer. I will post a message here if I can find the answer.
Search the net for a program called "AVI2VCD" (Don´t have the URL handy). The Software itself is crap, but it comes with
a little tool called "decompress.exe". This single file is a neat little progi to convert the compressed AVI-Sound into PCM-Sound.
I am having the same problem with the avi's and I've tried both ways. I tried this 'decompress.exe' and I can't even get it to work. When I extracted the audio to *.wav with VirtualDub the audio came out great. The only problem was when I encoded the video with the new audio they are out of sync. I can't figure it out because I did everything exactly the way it said to at www.vcdhelp.com. Please help!!
Reading through the licence agreement you are out of luck getting you money back. Im wondering why you didnt test TMPGEnc first with the free version...
Can TMPGEnc do a list of projects? For example, I want to leave my computer on in the middle of the night so it can convert a list of files. They are ,mov. I want TMPGEnc to convert one and once its done to do the next file. Is that possible?
Fairly simple. Just select your video and audio source, specify the output file name and load a template. Then do a "File" -> "Save Project" and save the project file. Repeat this procedure for as many files that you want to convert (if the template stays the same, you just need to change input and output). When you are ready to begin processing, do a "File" -> "New Project" to clear everything, then do a "File" -> "Batch Encode" and use the "Add" button to add the project files to the popup. Hit "Run" and everything will be processed automatically.
i'm having troubles using TMPGEnc under wine (RH 7.2). the error i see is "The error occurred during ACM was initialized.". This pops up after i press the start button the begin making a VCD format mpg file.
the sound is in a wav file. i'm using a .d2v and w.av file output from DVD2AVI. I tried increasing the priority, but am still getting the same error. i'm using kde as my desktop if that makes a difference.
i believe i have the plug in. it works fine when booted to windows. the plug in i believe is "DVD2AVI Project File Reader 1.76". I have this set as a priority of 1 in the VFAPI plug-in area.
I didnt have time yet to look into it but I read somewhere that once created you cant move around the files needed for your .d2v project. If you have created the project under Windows and then booted into linux trying to load it into TMPgenc it wont work if you have not the same pathes (eg d: in Win and g: in wine.conf). Dont know if this is true.
What I want to try when I can spare an hour(ha!) is to create the DVD2AVI project directly under linux and see what happens.
Btw. Did you made an speed test of TMPgenc under Win and then Linux/Wine? I have dedicated Win and Linux Boxes and comparing the encoding speed on an AMD 1700+(winXP) vs an dual 750 PIII(linux) isnt very objective(AMD is 16% faster .. but wait until I get my 1100 PIII's :-)
is tmpgenc and dvd2avi scriptable? if you have a bash script you can send for these, it would be very usefull (once i git it all working and all :) ).
i tried using dvd2avi under wine to create the wav and d2v files. this seemed to go about as fast as under win98. couldn't really put numbers on it though. that worked fine. then i tried to create the mpg file using tmpgenc under wine. i'm still getting the ACM error.
