I encoded an uncompressed avi file and encoded it to a mpeg file. When i tried to preview it, I heard sound but no video was showing. What is the problem and what can i do to fix it

Hi, i have the same exact problem, can capture to avi, but when i convert to mpg i get audio no video, and the preview on tmpgenc is blank also.
mpg2 files play perfectly on this pc
any ideas?

I captured a home-video with my DC10 (latest drivers), with BOTH field enabled.
I use MAKE VIDEO (AVI) in the Studio software to make ("quickly") an AVI to convert it with TMPGenc to SVCD. But on TV it looks horrible. Fast moving arms are terrible to see. I tried different setting for video encode-interlace and advanced de-interlace. Deinterlace (even fields) makes it indeed a lot better, but I loose information in f.e. subtitles.

Anther thing what noticed me is that there is every second a "hick" in the movements. Like a swimming arms, moving trains, a mini-fraction of a second it doesnt move.
SOmeone knows the answer to both questions?

get error "illegal floating decimal point calculation order" when encoding a DIVX4 avi file

please, waht does this mean, and how can I correct it ?

increase the directshow priority to a higher level

Also, tick/untick all the check boxes in the quantize matrix settings.

I currently encode with a dual 2.2Ghz Intel Xeon with hyperthreading support enabled. Do you plan to optimise TMPGEnc for hyperthreading?

I receive an error message when I try to open an AVI file encoded at 20fps. Is there a way to open this file in TMPGEnc?

Thanks,
Joe

increase the avi vfw and the avi opendml filters to a higher priority in the environment settings under options.

My Problem:

If I try to load any MPEG2-File or a SVCD-File I get the Message 'can not open or not supported'.
If I load MPEG1 or AVI-Files everything is ok.
I have Version 5.53.35.130 of TMPEGnc-Plus. This is a registered version.
Who can help me ?

Thank You

You need to uninstall ALL DVD Software

install the ligos filters (www.ligos.com)

it should accept it now.

OR

try to get yourself these files:

clvsd.ax
claud.ax

and register them, goto start > run and type:

regsvr /s "c:windowsdesktopclvsd.ax"
regsvr /s "c:windowsdesktopclaud.ax"

(enter the correct paths to the file)

it should now play in WMP and TMPGENC should open it.

Ok, probably I'm not good with this but I explain what happens.

I've tried to made some video cds from an .avi movie and them burn with Nero.
I've made some try with Divx 5.0 and 4.11 but, in the same cases, when I play the video cd in a dvd player or in the PS2 I'm not able to launch them.

If you need more info to help me let me know.

Thanks

in the ps2:

goto www.google.com

type in pss.mcf

follow the links to the file

save it as a pss.mcf template

encode using that template

it should no play as VCD on a playstation!

Techno

I've looked for this file but the only thing that I found are some sites that tells this file should be included in TMPGENC program.

Does anyone, maybe, have it?

nope
it should not!

These are MPEG2 filters supplied with DVD software (cyberlink is one of the best) or try ligos

Techno

I remember in last versions of TMPGENG, I could select in the profile level item several high level options, but right now with ver 2.53 only main level.

This feature was eliminated ?.

Thks,
Kike.

yes, I think so

MP@ML is the standard dvd format, it appears in the tooltip

I have some Quicktime movies (DV-encoded at 720x480, 29.97fps) that I tried to convert to MPEG-1, and TMPGEnc seems to get a black screen, once it reaches 9:27 (17019 frames), which I believe is 2GB into the original file.

Is this a size limitation within TMPGEnc, or within the Quicktime decoder, or what?

I forgot to mention that I am only using DirectShow, and not the Quicktime VFAPI plugin. However, I did try to use the plug-in, and I can now preview the entire movie, but it crashes after encoding a few seconds worth of video.

set it to a higher priority, the QT plugin and directshow if all else fails

Hallo everyone.

First of all I have to thank everyone who are helping on this board, it have helped me alot. Thanks.

My question this time is about the audiostream in a divx-file that isn't working. When playing the movie in for example The Playa there isn't any sound. The thing I wan't to do is to get the divx into mpeg1 but the sound can't work if there isn't any sound in the divx-file, right? I loaded the divx into Virtual Dub and watched the "File information". There I read following datas:

"Sampling rate" - 48000 Hz "(should be 44100 Hz?).
"Channels" - 2(stereo).
"Sample precision" - 0 bit.
"Compression" - Unknown (tag 2000).
"Preload skew" - 12000 samples (0,25 s)
"# of frames" - 81735
"Min/avg/max/Total framesize" - 12/1001/12000 (79909K)

I tried to save the file in 44100 Hz as a wav-file but it didn't work. Virtual Dub said that the requested audiocompression wasn't compatible with the inputformat. Well my question is if there is something wrong with the audiostream in the divx-file or if I can change the sampling rate to 44100 Hz in some way. This so it later can be converted with sound to Mpeg1 in TMPGenc.

Thanks in advance

More than likely it is an audio codec that is not installed on your machine.
The audio is probably there but your applications can't read it without the appropriate codec.

have you tried some of the filter packs like the Tsunami filter pack ?
I can't remember where I got it but a google search should locate it.

Olli

Thanks for the help.

I installed Tsunami filterpack and got sound when playing in Windows mediaplayer. The whole movie seemed to go in slowmotion though. The audio seemed to be in a lower frequense then it should be. When playing in The playa the video was totally OK but no sound though. Is there something wrong with the divx-file?

I capture TV to an MPEG2 file using dazzle DVC II.
When I try to convert the mpg file to S video CD using tmpgenc latest version, I get an error mesage as soon as I hit the Start button. It says " the error was caused when ACM was initialised".
What does this mean?
I can encode to DVD ok.
Thanks

Don't capture in MPEG directly, bad idea!

capture in avi using these settings:

NO RECOMPRESSION
YU12
320*240
25*30fps
CD quality audio


Then convert to MPEG using TMPGENC

if u cant, then make sure you convert the MPEG audio to uncompressed PCM audio/MP3 audio

Techno

Thanks for the reply.
>>Don't capture in MPEG directly, bad idea!


-I have the dazzle digital video creator II which doesn't capture AVI.

>>if u cant, then make sure you convert the MPEG audio to uncompressed PCM audio/MP3 audio

-sorry to be stupid. but how do you do this??
Thanks
