Hi,

I have a clip from VHS tape that appears to be washed out. I have tried a color correction, and although it helps to a degree, it does not appear to be the solution. I would like to increase the bit rate on mpeg1 to see if that helps. does anyone know how to do it or maybe have a better recommendation?

Thanks, Bob

Anything from VHS will NOT be good quality, sometimes you can fix it but usually you can't.

If you want to increase the bitrate then don't use the VCD templates, make your own Custom version and use that.

Did anyone figure out this problem yet, I have ran several different options with the same out come no VIDEO but I got sound. Only if I was blind would I enjoy this movie!

well you have to make sure that your avi. file isn"t divx5, cuz it isn"t supported,but some more information would be helpfull if you want your problem resolved.......

I've found that I'm running into similar problems here and then. In my case it's the sound that's missing. When I play the AVI itself I can hear the sound, as soon as I use TMPEG for creating a VCD (PAL) the sound's gone.
Installed are DivX-Codecs 3, 4, and 5 as well as these Indeo-drivers. OP-Sys is WinXP (maybe that's the Problem *g*)

Anyone has a clue?

you have to make sure the audio 44.100khz 224kbs sterio......

This seemed to be the nearest to my problem - so is there any way to decode the video in DivX 5.0 into a standard VCD compatable MPEG? Is there a plugin out there?! Help!!

How do i combine 2 avi files into 1 mpeg file?

first encode both avi. files to mpeg, then use the "merge&cut" feature in "mpeg tools" this will solve your problem......sherlock

When I encode my movies they end up having a black screen and only audio
what should i change?

make sure your avi. isn"t divx5, cuz divx5 isn"t compatable with "tmpgenc" but tell us what you are doing so we can tell you what you are doing wrong.....sherlock

Correct Sherlock!

If I download a movie from the Internet, how do I know if it is DivX 5 or an earlier version ? And by the way, is version 5 will be compatible soon ?

I just follow the wizard
I load my avi in audio and video
set it to high quality
and start

hi,
could you please tell me where i can get step by step instructions on how to use the program tmpgenc to convert avi to be able to view the movie
chris

I don"t know were there is step by step instructions it is mostly trial and error...but go to vcdhelp.com and there are some very helpfull tips to guide you through to proscess.....

That is correct sherlok:

It depends on what you are trying to convert, the encoder is self explanitary.

Goto

http://doom9.net for guides and links to other guides they show and tell you all about how to do it.

Stupid me, it's

hehe..

I was wondering if you know any merge and cut encoders that isnt TMPGEnc software? cause it isnt working 4me!! if you know any what is it called and where can i find it? Regards James

Techno

Techno

Hi, I have downloaded a 120 minutes movie. How do I cut it so it can go on two video CDs ? Thanks anyone.

use the "merge& cut" feature in mpeg tools,but I warn you it doesn"t allways work.......

I am using adobe premiere to split movies I have captured in half and then use tmpg to convert them to vcd format... however when I select the file that is cut for conversion it says cannot open or unsupported. it's an avi form. The full movies works but the cut version doesn't. any ideas?

go to your "enviromental settings" then to "vfapi plugins" and lower every thing to "zero" accept the "direct show" put that at "2" this should solve your problem...........

it should be the other way around,

set ONLY the avi vfw and the avi opendml to a higher priority.

Techno

whenever i try to convert anything to MPEG-2 i get a mpeg-2 trial has expired error. anyone know how to fix this? iv reinstalled tmp many times and i cant find it anywhere on there site

You need to buy TMPGEnc Plus.

Yeh, I am sure you acheived HIGH quality using this beautiful MPEG encoder, BUY TMPGENC PLUS!

Techno

The software is very buggy and the author has neglected fixing things that have been listed here as bugs. To me it should still be a beta version until all bugs are worked out.

hi i don't find that program you are talking about, plz help

Hallo.

I have a problem while trying to cut the mpeg-file that I've converted from a divxfile. I'm not sure that I have the right settings. In the Mpeg-tools merge and cut I choose "Mpeg-1 Video CD" in the Type-field and then add the new mpeg-file. So far so good I hope. Then I go to the edit-page and cut the movie so that it should be able to fit on a 80-minCD. When I then hit the OK-button I get this errormessage: "At address 73F61D04, Read error occurred against address 73F61D04". Anyone who know how to solve this problem or am I doing something totally wrong.

Thanks.

Hi.

Are you sure that it's a proper mpg file, try with another file and cut it and so on.

I have had no problems with this :)

Regards Dennis

the "cut feature SUCKS BIG TIME in tmpgenc you can usualy cut the first part but that is it,but to get around this problem I use the "source range" feature witch lets you encode the first part(or middle or what ever)then the rest....

Hi There,

After much testing on various systems (Athlon,PIII,Win98,XP etc.), I can't get any of my MJPEGed AVIs loaded into v2.53. All my MJPEGs are badly corrupted displaying only 2-3 lines of scanline and after that a grid of dots.

I've loaded the same MPJEGs into v2.01 and they work fine. In fact you can place 2.53 alongside 2.01 and see the corruption in 2.53. For a sample MJPEG file that corrupts 2.53, goto the following address (put www. before the address);

seychelles.net/tipam/badfor253.zip (approx 380K)

You will need the PICVIDEO2 codec before viewing it.

Thanks

Try moving the 'AVI VFW compatibility reader' to the top in 'environmental settings' (keep right clicking it, higher priority).

I just converted a couple of AVI files to MPEG and I noticed that there is a slight purple haze that progressively gets worse and then disappears after 10-15 seconds and start all over again. This happens all the way through the movie. What is causing this? Do I need to change setting in the enocder? Thanks in advance.

Aloha!

What settings are you using?

I'm using the default settings, have any suggestions?
