I read somewhere(a link from vcdhelp i think) that in the next version NTSC to PAL conversion will be improved,making the converted vid MUCH cleaner(no dropped frames and so on).
Can anybody confirm this??????????
Cheerz

I have encoded 1 film into svcd but it is in 2 halfs how do i paste the 2 together???

use MPEG tools to merge them together

first load file no1 then file no2 then save them! :)

Make sure u select MPEG2

Whenever I have TMPGEnc merge two MPEG-2 files, there sound an the end of each section is either cut off or warped.

Merging MPEG-2 480x480 29.97fps CQ 100, Layer-2 44100Hz 160kbps files for SVCD production.

Hi! There~~
I have faced on the task of converting HDTV MP@HL(1920x1080i) Transport-Stream source files(.tp) to Direct-show Stream as MS-MPEG4, Divx, or MPG, etc..
I found that only TMPGenc opened the .tp stream files successfully with Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder v. 1.40(alpha) Direct-show filter.

After exporting the .tp to .avi file with TMPGenc, I have encountered with a problem on .avi have no sounds in spite of audio track presence !!

Some times later, I recognized that the .tp files have dual audio track.
as below.. (Mediaplayer with Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder v. 1.40 alpha)

As a result, TMPGenc utilize subchannel audio-track which have no sounds generally in order to make .avi... , and ignores the primary audio-track.


Now, TMPGenc needed,
1. Give audio-track(or device) selection if the source stream has multi-track audio..
or
2. TMPGenc should utilize primary audio-track on HDTV MP@HL Transport-Stream source files instead of subchannel as now.

Would it be possible for next update?
(I'll waiting with all my heart!!)

For reference, I leave HDTV Transport-Stream MP@HL sample file
(Estimated 15MB, running time is about 7sec.. WOW!!!)

wow, impressive stuff! :)

Thank you for ur link of mpeg2 TS directx filter...I finally can open a sample.tp of BoA singing No1 on musiccamp...thanks a lot

Does it cause any problems to run other programs while tmpgenc is encoding?

yep, I answered...

Techno

On my system I can"t even hav the screen saver on without haveing it cause a error in my video file, so you pretty much have to encode and do nothing else....

Really Sherlock? wow! :) unusual

Hi there.

I have taken my time to write this information up for people who are having problems with TMPGENC not encoding video, only sound. The video picture maybe black.

This is because it is a DIVX 5 avi. And DIVX v5 is not compatible with TMPGENC.

To get rid of this problem, do the following:

uninstall DIVX v5

Install DIVX v4.11 or v4.12 (www.divx-digest.com/software)

Then load the avi in TMPGENC and encode.

This should solve the problem

Thank-you

Techno

I have done as you said but there is still no picture. Would the fact that it is an SmR film make any difference?

sometimes.

do u have the SMR codecs installed (just to be safe)?

Sorry for the late respons, I was away for the last two weeks.
Thanks Ashy, great respons. I'll try the solutions you wrote and I'll let you know!

have tried to download the program and when i run it the tabs/buttons have no writing on them so i cant see what they do. if anyone has any idea what is going wrong can they let me know please.
thanks in advance.
mark.

How do I use TMPGnc to convert from mpg to avi so I can make my file smaller?

TMPGENC only encodes from avi to MPEG or MPEG to MPEG.

If u r thinking of encoding to DIVX, use 3.11alpha and use encoders like Virtualdub/nandub/vidomi.

Have you tried downloading TMPGENC again?

Techno

Does it cause any problems to run other programs while tmpgenc is encoding?

nope.

but it takes longer to encode.

Techno

Thanks Techno

no probs! :)

When I try to encode avi files to mpeg using TMPGEnc, the process sometimes freezes. If I try the same file again - then it does the same thing in the same place. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

there maybe corrupted frames in the video.

use virtualdub to scan the stream for errors.

Techno

Here's the problem:

I want to encoded the Audio from 48000hz to 41000hz so I can encoded it to a vcd-mpeg... But everytime I have encoded it to 41000hz, there is no sound!!!
What can I do???

use something like wavlab to resample/downsample to 44100Hz, always works!

Techno

you can also use virtualdub.

open the MPEG/avi in virtualdub

goto audio > full processing mode.

goto audio > conversion and select 44100Hz

Then goto audio > compression and select no compression PCM

Then goto file > save wav and save the audio

Then load this wav and video in TMPGENC and encode

do a little sample first to see if it works. If not then use Wavelab,

good luck

Techno
