All of the sudden I'm getting 2 error messages that I've never seen before. Right when I try to launch TMPGEnc. I've never had this problem before.
First one says "Read error against address 0229DB4A" and the second "Run Time Error 216 at 0003D850
I was running version 2.52.xx. I deleted it and tried again. I defragged the hard drives and ran check disk. Rebooted and got the same errors. I downloaded version 2.53 and got the same error's.
These are coming before I can even run the program. I don't know but in Premiere 6 I encoded a movie to MS DV AVI instead of just the regular MS AVI. I's stumped. Can anyone offer some help?
Did you ever get this figured out. I have the exact same problem.
Thanks

The is no video when i start the proccess of converting AVI to MPG, I need to do this for some family videos and so on. Thank you to anyone who can help, i need these for VCD thats why i need them in mpg cause thats what my burning software wants. THank you
I just noticed that under "Settings" "Video" tab that "DC Componet precision" says higher the smoother video. anybody have an opinion on this setting? 8 bit...10 bit....slower, better?
I don't think it matters much, I allways stick to the standard templates, have worked fine for me, with excellent quality of the encoded videos etc. I don't care too much for the setting just the ones you can change when you load up a template.
The setting relates to the type of movie you are trying to encode. If you are encoding a movie with a lot of calm scenes then a higher precision would be appropiate. The opposite goes for action movies with a lot of movement, the lower setting is more appropiate.
You wouldn't normally need to worry about this because it's effect isn't a great deal.
Has someone posted a set of guides for TMPGEnc that show which setting one could/should tweak to balance between file size and quality?
My specific issue has to do with converting an AVI to VCD. The resulting file is a tad too large for a CD (~851MB). I am looking for the setting that would knock back the file size with minimal impact on the quality. Surely I can't be the first to ask this question.
Here is a good guide regarding that matter from www.vcdhelp.com. Dont miss the forum discussion that follows. The arctile depends that your player can cope with non standard VCDs. Esp. VBR.
Btw. You can fit 900 MB on an 90 mins media in (S)VCD format but not any CD-Rom/Player can cope with that. At least most Yamakawa, Scott and Cyberhome players can.
Btw. Something weird is hapening with posting threads, its not the first time I see an multiple post or and moved posting(not only from me :)
When i decode an avi to mpeg format, and when i play the movie, the sound goes out of sync. I have WINDOWS XP and i dont know what to do please help....FAST!
Just extract the audio from the divx (uncompress it if it is a mp3 file or something) the just do the same thing. Load up the video file, and then on the audio tab, look up the wav file and select it (the one you extracted) the just encode as you would. Tada, perfect sync.
This problem might be a bug in Tmpgenc or something I don't know but I allways do it this way since I fear sync problems and my computer is verry slow.
For audio extraction use msgraph or maby virtual dub, your choise
Have tried several divx movies of good quallity, but they all give the same result to my my svcd, the picture is sharp and the sound is exellent, but the video streaming is not so good. I use the supervideo template and have tried several adjustment, but nothing seems to help.
Any sugestions?
And another thing what excectly does multiplexing and de-multiplexing, and when do we use it??
I have been doing the same thing, converting DivX to SVCD (my divx are in 640*360 with AC3 sound) so I had to extract the audio to a uncompressed wav file first.
I would suggest you use 2-pass VBR and set the minimum value to 300 and the avegage bit rate to between 1900-2300. Other than that, if you use a template you should be fine. My encodings are good and works fine.
A note though is that if you can, get a DivX with as high quality as possible and if you are converting movies, get hold of the ones that are released on 2 cd's.
I figured it out myself, the source was 23 fps and I have Pal system with 25 fps, so i tried to enable 3:2 Pulldown in the advance tab and my movie works perfect.
hello,
my first period for testing tmpg is over. so i downloaded the most recent version and copied the fiels over the old files. it still says this message that the testing period is over!
what do i do wrong?
thank you
Here goes my vov to not contribute to a thread Techno has answered....
Ok, heres the deal. TMPGEnc which is downloadable on this webpage is technicaly free. But not the MPEG2 codec. To circumvent the MPEG2 license fee the programm will disable MPEG2 encoding an month after installation. This is essential for TMPGenc being free!
TMPGenc Plus on the other side(which is downloadable at www.pegasys-inc.com) is tryware. After 2 weeks of use it will no longer start without an license key.
One of the main differences between TMPGenc Plus and TMPGenc is the 2 Pass VBR encoding. If you want to make Standalone Player compilant VCD streams only you can go with the free version. If you want to make high quality SVCDs and DVDs buy the Plus Version.
I am making this post to warn any newcomers to this BBS of the fact that they may have their time wasted and may receive unsound advice from an individual who goes by the name of 'Techno'
I have noticed repeatedly that this board has become a sort of personal playground for Techno who it seems feels like it is a game to answer every question posted on this board before anyone else whether the answer is correct and has a sound basis for the reply or not.
This is where Techno and I differ. Of the experience I have with this software I will then try and answer a question if the problem has been experienced by myself and only then will I answer. I will not make guesses or pull suggestions out of a hat just so I can be the first to answer hoping people will find me important because I post the first reply.
Even when I do have the experience to TRY and answer a question, I will always do a search on the net to back up my own suggestions before wasting anybodys time and I always welcome people to correct any advice I give if they have had the same experience and know other ways of solving the problem as there is always more one way of solving a problem.
I do not take it personally if Iam corrected and thouroughly respect the people who do take time to give details of as to why they have given their advice as I always try to do, unlike Techno who tries to FORCE his advice upon newcomers who don't know any better and shams anybody who gives advice to the contrary.
Please don't get this post wrong. I am not trying to discredit ALL the advice that Techno supplies as some of it is sound advice. Unfortunately a lot isn't and is given with no solid basis and is often incorrect and obviously doesn't come from experience.
Having said this I must unfortunetly inform this board I shall no longer be able to activly reply to questions and give advice as I have a busy schedule coming up and sadly won't be able to attend this board as often to correct the distorted and time wasting advice of said inividual and one or two others.
I do like to help those in need and don't do it merely for my own pleasure because it gives me a kick and makes me feel important to see my name on every possible post replied to. I do it to help relieve the frustration of others by using my own experience because I know what it's like when it happens.
On a final note to any newcomers.
Before you take the advice of anyone on this board and one person especially, do yourself a favour a do a quick search on this board as your question has probably already been answered more than once by more than one person and also do a search on search engine with your problem and gather the advice of more than one person and then make your own mind up because as I have learned in the past, bad advice is as frustrating as the problem itself or no advice at all.
If anyone on this board does happen to think my advice has any credibility on this board then feel free to email me, but I can't guarantee a speedy reply.
Techno if your threats are a lame attempt to worry me that you have contacted the moderators.
I must unfortunately inform you I am already in contact with the board moderators and have asked them to review some of you previous posts and possibly ban your whole I.P. Due to your unsolicted distribution of hacks thus depriving the author of TMPGenc of hard earned recompense for his work which has the knock on affect of depriving us of regular updates and further development to the program.
It's not really personal but you need to seriously think about your activities on this board or you WILL be banned eventually.
Maybe you dont call this a bug BUT I DO!
It takes 30 minutes to cut up a mpeg file (1.8GB 1 hour playtime) in 4 pieces.
Man this software is from the darkages! Never heard of any inteligent searching or caching???
Better look elsewhere if you want to do cutting/encoding on a regular basis!
Shame tho as the encoder is very good.
Sorry, but it isn't the software that's slow my friend, but your system.
I don't have a problem with the speed and it cetainly doesn't take me 30 mins to split a file and I do regular cutting and merging and have found TMPG to be the best and most accurate cutting tool there is.
I suggest you review your system as it seems it's in need of some serious optimization.
My current system I must admit is pretty fast. A Pentium 4 1.7 clocked at 1.9 with 256 DDR memory and an Ultra ATA 100 IBM Deskstar 7200 with 8.2 ms seek time.
But nevertheless my old system was a P3 500 with 256 of sdram which still performed admirably and didn't take 30 mins to cut split files.
A few days ago I had some problems with the VCD sound, and I thought the problem was that I used 48 kHz sampling rate instead of 44.1 kHz. That was maybe one of the problems, but today I found another. When I use the Mpeg Tools to split the original mpg-file into two parts, the new files is not compatible with my DVD player. I also read somwhere else that there was a possible problem with the multiplexing tool. Does anybody know anything about this? Should I use another tool to split the file?
