I am running on win2000 with latest version of directX (8) and quicktime (5). I get the unsupported error when I try to open .mov files. I seem to be able to open .AVI files OK but what is going on here.
The .MOV files can be sucessfully opened by quicktime and other applications so I don't think the problem is with the files.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or at least I'd like to know if this is bug or just something that isn't configured properly.
I'm trying to convert a DivX to VCD MPEG format, but in the previeuw windows (to tell TMPGEnc where to stop it yust shows a black screen), and the same for the final MPEG file.
I am having the same problem that was submitted by a user earlier - receiving the error message of "File cannot open, or unsupported". I went through and changed some things in the Environmental Settings, which allowed me to select the video and audio source, but after clicking start, the progress stopped at 99%.
I have been able to do this before, but not today????
TMPGEnc was working fine last night, but this morning, I tried to open those same files that I was working on last night, and it says "File [myfile-here.mpg] can not open, or unsupported."
This happen to every file that was working last night. Is this a bug? Those file were open and coverted successfully by TMPGEnc last night, but not today.
I'm new to this program. I've tried to create some video cd pal from .avi videos but they seems don't work.
Could someone explain me the entire process to create this video cd?
what do u mean they don't work? Please give more detail:
if your avi file is not accepted by TMPGENC, close the wizard
goto options > environment settings
click on the VFAPI plufin tab
right click on the avi opendml filter and select higher priority
right click on the avi vfw filter and select higher priority
Then try the wizard again.
If the file is accepted but won't play:
uninstall DIVX 5 codec
install DIVX v4.11 or v4.12 codec and then encode. There should be video and audio now.
Otherwise, I do not know what you mean. If you re asking how to create a VCD then:
open TMPGENC
a wizars will appear
select VCD PAL/NTSC.
Follow the wizard
And that is all there is to it.
My problem was that I could make the video cd with no problem but when I try the cd in a dvd player or in a PS2 the file is not read.
I had in my PC divx5.
Now I try to reinstall the old version to see if it works.
Hi Frank
Try this, Go to vcdhelp.com. On left hand side, click conversions. Select all in one guide divx to vcd. Download all the tools it says to. Now follow the guide exactly as it was written. This will work for you and it is how most of us started. I use virtual dub, tempge and vcd easy. They are all free. Don't forget to download divx 3.1 and 4.0 codecs. Have fun. I am by no means an expert but I have already made more than 15 vcds without any problems. Good rule of thumb, download divx or dvd movies. They are the best quality. Also remember that you can not fix a file. If it is noisey or video not too good, then the resulting product will be the same.And probably worse.
I have a video which I would like to convert to mpeg. It is currently an Mpeg4 encoded avi file, which plays perfectly in RealOne Player and Windows Media Player. However when I convert it to an Mpeg file and try to watch it using my DVD software the video is completely lost, its just a mixture of colours. It only seems to happen with this particular file and the audio is still intact, its only the video that messes up. I have tried it with both divx 4.12 and divx 5, but the same thing happened. Any advice?

Hi,
I need to encode a wav file to mp2. My problem however is that I only want to encode the first 8.8 seconds of the wav file. Anyone knows how I can specify the first 8.8 seconds only for encoding? If not, does anyone know of any program that managed to split an audio file into a desired lenght?
Sincerely,
Hi, has anyone ever come accross the error " illegal video stream" on opening a file using TMPGEnc. ?
Basically becouse my dvd player does not play SVCD's i use the above program to fool the dvd player when i play svcd's.
I have done several movies this way and they always worked perfect, but i am having problems opening 2 movies (svcd of coures) the message "illegal mpeg video stream" appears all the time. Anyone can help me on that. Thanks
The stream is illegal or incomplete and so on, a mpg file can be broken and still be playable in windows mediaplayer.
You need to fix the file somehow so it's correct, just like I sometimes download file from the net, say VCD format, and the i want to burn it, open nero, drag-dropp the file, nero then checks the file and after 5min it says, file is not VCD compatible.
You need a program that will let's say, correct the file and so on.
This could allso make tmpgenc hang, say you are encoding from a scource that is not correct then it might hang in the middle and so on, tmpgenc is sensative to errors from input datafiles.
Dennis,
i have the same problem as sgar, but nero burns the file without problems, no error msg or anything, but tmpgenc produces the "illegal mpeg video stream" msg when trying to open the file ? Any idea as to that ?
Do you have any program suggestions that can correct mpeg streams to make them valid for tmpgenc ?
I was thinkig of trying to convert the VOB (60Mb) file I have to a AVI. In msgraph (which is superfast) when I decode AC3 to wav (4min) :) I can't seem to file the proper filters to encode a VOB to a AVI, I only have filters for decoding it seems :/
I wanna compare the two methods, msgraph and dvd2avi ... or is there some other good program out there that can read VOB files and convert to AVI or some other good format ?
I cut a VCD MPEG with TMPGEnc v2.53 MPEG tools. When I tried to import the cutting into a VCD layout in Nero v5.5.8 it said the MPEG was not compliant. The uncut copy was compliant. I thought I used to be able to do this so I dragged out a copy of TMPGEnc vbeta12h and it cut fine and worked with Nero just fine.
