When shooting in amophoric 16:9, the picture is 720x576 (PAL), when converting to DVD, how to set the MPEG2 switch to amophoric, like eg. LSX encoder does.
I also would like to know how this is achieved. I am very impressed with the encoder and hope to be able to use it in preference to others which i have tried. But as I have invested in an expensive anamorphic lens I need to know that it TMPGEnc will handle the files this delivers.
You cant convert a full screen movie to wide screen without encountering aspect ratio problems. i.e stretched picture.
If what you really mean to say is convert a full screen letterbox image to wide screen then that is a different matter.
If this is the case you should choose 4:3 as your source aspect ratio under the advanced tab in setting and trim off the black bars using the clipframe option under advanced and then choose the output aspect ratio as 16:9 display under the video tab.
When I convert an avi-file that is in widescreen-mode to mpeg with tmpgenc I can't see the movie. I can only hear the sound to the movie. What should I do to be able to both see and hear the movie?
Go to environmenatl settings and then go the Vfapi section. You have to give a higher priority to the directshow filters...
then after that, decoding Divx5 is not a problem... except it seems slower to decode than divx3 or 4, but it may be one of the settings I changed or something.
When I used TMPGEnc2.53 to convert avi to super VCD the error message showing in the title stopped the program. When I loaded Video CD the program works well. I would relly appreciate it if any could help me to solve the problem.
Thanks, Ashy, I would like to buy a copy with MPEG2 encoding, Could you tell me how I can buy the program? In the TMPGEnc web, I can not find any information about the selling the program.
My DVD player apex AD1500 will play about anything and I was woundering if there is much of a visual advantage to setting res to 720x480 over 480x480. Looks like my file size stays the same! It plays fine but any drawbacks to doing this. Comments
Hello,
Have downloaded both current files can not open them, tried in Open with: and now have downloads stuck in Cinestream and can't get them open or out. Have searched for hours on this and site that recommended this site. "Search" brings up nothing. Have deleted and re downloaded still only tries (and can not) to open in Cinestream.
What program is used to open the downloads and where can a newbie read instructions?
Also : how can I make the download not automaticly become part of Cinestream?
Thank you.
What the hell is Cinestream when it's at home.
To open the files you need a file decompression program such as winrar or winzip. I suggest winrar as winzip seems to have some problems.
Install winrar then right click on the .zip file and choose 'extract to.. (name of file)' and the file should extract.
Thanks Ashy,
Where can I find winrar and/or winzip?
Went to microsoft knowledgebase and no documents found.
If most usuers can download these files, are these decompression programs part of most systems? Wouldn't my system have this already? How do I find out if I have a decompression program currently?
Thanks
Here is Winrar http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar30b7.exe and no, compression programs aren't standard on operating systems unless less you have Windows XP which does come with a decompression utility or if you have Windows Me, but in ME you will have to go to add remove programs and look in windows setup. You will see an option in accessories to install a zip compression utility.
i have 2 pc's one with 98 the other with XP. When i downloaded the latest version of tmpg i tried to merge two mpeg's together, works great with 98 butwith XP i get this error
"At address 73F91D04, Read error occured against address 73F91D04"
i have tried loading in the VFAPI plug in but still no good so why does it work on 98??
I am using TMPGnc plus 2.53. I've noticed not all the time not with every avi but at times when encoding to MPG I split the file, using the option of setting the start and end frame, usually I set 0 - 95000 for part 1 and 95000 - [end] for part two. On multiple tries with different avi's but not all when I do this the second part audio is not sync'd, the first part is always correct.
This gets to be annoying.
I wish also they would do a few things to clean up the usability of this GREAT program, ie.
1. clear project list, sometimes it seams that old projects keep appearing even after I clear it out.
Over the last few days I have recieved the Internet worm W32/Klez.I. virus. and is one of the worst viruses of this year.
This virus has come from someone on this board who has my email address in their address book and is either knowingly or unknowingly spreading this virus to other people in their address book.
The first time I recieved this virus it was unknowingly opened by the a weakness in Outlook express which allows the virus to be activated bt simply previewing the email in the preview pane.
I recieved this virus about five times the first day and had literally infected about 70 of my files within 10 mins and I now recieve this virus about 4 times a day.
I only noticed something unusual because after closing oulook express my hard drive was going ten to the dozen.
So straight away I realized something was amiss. When I tried to do a check with my Antivirus software the program just kept closing down after a few seconds and wouldn't scan my machine. I found out this is due to the virus which closes any attempt to detect it, including the task manager.
In the end I had to reinstall my operating system because the virus had caused to much damage to be repaired.
So my advice is if you are having any problems with your machine such as hard drive activity for no reason or not being able to access the task manager or have received any unexplained emails with extensions such as .pif or .bat from an unknown source then check your machine now!

tried to convert avi to vcd using tmpgenc app.I did a trial run for a few minutes to see if my new dvd machine would recognize it before converting the entire movie. It doesnt ! panasonic Rv32 is the model i have. says "no play" on the screen.
I selected video cd( ntsc0 and it doesnt play the movie.
First make sur you have selected the right VCD template for your TV sytem.
If you use the NTSC system select the NTSC video cd template then encode.
After encoding burn the file with nero making sure you select the 'Video cd' option and not standard 'CDROM-ISO'
If Nero doesn't give you any compliance warnings then go ahead and burn the file at 4x or lower.
I have a Panasonic RV-32 wich is an excellent DVD HOME PLAYER.. but it cannot play SVCDs.. but anyway.. VCD works with it.. well here's what u can run with it.. VCDs, MP3s, WMAs(Windows Media Audio) ..
It is repeatedly said on this BBS that DIVX 5 is not supported by TMPG.
In reality there are no Divx files supported by TMPG, be it 3.11 4.12 or 5.
The Divx file is opened using the Directshow engine which is included with DirectX. For DirectX to be able to read these files is must have a codec installed.
TMPG merely makes are request to the direct show engine to open this file using the Divx codec to decode it. It doesn't matter what the file is encoded in as long as the required codec is installed so the Directshow engine can read the file and pass it on to TMPG.
Therefore the problem is not the codec itself or TMPG, but a problem with setup on your machine.
It is more likely that there are more codecs installed on your sytem which are causing the problem and/or corrupt or early version of DirectX.
For full compatibilty with DIVX 5 DirectX 8.1 is needed.
So anybody with Windows Me/98 or Windows 2000 needs to upgrade to the latest Version of DirectX.
I hope this clears up the myth about TMPG not supporting DIVX5 because I mean after all it works fine on my system, two of my friends systems and many other systems out there.
thanx ashy,but I have direct x 8.1 on win me and divx5 movies still come out black with sound,Is there anything else that i need to get divx5 movies to encode on my computer? thanx Ashy you rule
I am having the same problem too...I cannot play divx5 movies either, black screen and no sound. If anyone knows why this is happening I would appreciate it if someone would email me!
Try this. Go into your TMPG folder and delete this file CurrentCfg.tpr then try again.
If not uninstall the DIVX 5 codec and install 4.12 then have another try.
