Is it possible to customize the GOPs in TMPGEnc? For example, I ripped a movie, and according the *.IDX file, the sequence is IPBBPBBPBBPBBPBB. Notice that the second frame listed is a Primary (P) frame, not a Secondary (B) frame! Is there a way in TMPGEnc to match that? Or am I stuck with the same old sequence of IBBPBBP... ?
It is possible, but I don't know if I would recommend it.
But give it a try with a small test file to see if it makes a difference.
Under the GOP structure tab tick the force picture type setting then click setting.
Click on the first picture then pres Ctrl+P. Paste in the GOP pattern from
the .IDX file then click OK then click ok again in the Force picture Type box.
Oh by the way a (P) frame is Predictive frame not a primary frame. It is predicted from the previous (I)Intra frame and a (B) Bi-directionally interpolated frame is predicted from the previous and next (I) or (P) frames.
Sounds good doesn't it, but don't ask me to explain GOPs. It's all in my head and I can just about understand it myself. GOPs and Matrixes are far to complicated to be played with so I leave well alone as the standard setting always seems to give the best picture quality.
Does anyone know how to get a VCD to work in XP. I used to be able to watch them with Power DVD or even Windows Media Player with Windows ME. The Mpeg file plays fine, but the final burned VCD does not play(of course it plays wonderful on my standalone DVD)

Try this:
Open DVD Player,
Switch to File Mode,
Click the Menu - It will cause DVD explorer to activate.
track your VCD and the movie path,
ADD to the list. Check at what serial/ sequence no. this movie is in your play list.
Close the DVD explorer by acknowledging OK button.
Now open the draw out number pad on the DVD player.
If you want to play the mpeg in an standalone player you should make an 4:3 mpeg with black borders. There is no standalone player I know of that will correctly play an 16:9 flagged VCD or SVCD stream. If you dont have an TV set that you can force to 16:9 output youre looking at the Coneheads version.
Look in Topic 5642 for settings how to convert 16:9 anamorphic input to 4:3 with borders.
Under the advanced tab choose the source aspect ratio as 16:9 display and the Video arrange method as 'Full screen (keep aspect ratio)'
If encoding in MPEG1 then make sure your output aspect ratio is 4:3 PAL or NTSC depending on your TV system.
If encoding in MPEG2 choose you output as 4:3 display.
well if you cant see the pic, lemme briefly explain it.
there is no text. after I close the project window (it says thats what it is in the windows title bar)
I can see file/option/help with white behind only that, instead of the normal beige. And in the bottom text box it says "MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 192kbps" there is nothing else. I can't do anything since I can't see what the buttons are labeled to do.
Are we talking about after closing the wizard?
If so my suggestion is to download again from another source.
There seems to be some corrupt zip files of TMPG around the net.

No, I mean what the program loads it's like that. And I downloaded it from here. http://www.tmpgenc.net/files/TMPGEnc-2.53.35.130.zip I'd think it wouldnt be corrupt. But I'll go try somewhere else like you said.
I keep forgetting to inclide a pw so I can just edit the messege but I also just noticed that everywhere else I've looked it doesn't list XP as a workable OS.
This problem has been experienced by a few people, but doubt it has anything to do with XP as it works fine on my system.
Either download it from another source or just untick the box at the bottom left corner to disable the wizard.
Another point is, if you use Winzip then try Winrar to unzip your program or the windows zip utility as there have been reports of winzip having problems unzipping the file correctly.
I have shot some martial arts footage and it blurs when encoded. The source is from a JVC 500 camera and transferred to a DPS perception card at 720x480, 4:2:2 capture. Have tried to modify the preset for NTSC DVD encode at MPEG2.
Any Suggestions?
I have similar problme. I am making progress by setting to VBR with low of 2000, Avergae of 6500 and max of 7800. Also set to NON-INTERLACED then on advanced check the box for De-Interlace and experiment with th evarious DOUBLE options or Odd-Even Field options. My output gets better with every tweak.
Is there any way to encode from Mpeg-1/Pal to Mpeg-2 Ntsc without having to uncompress the entire file to avi and recompress to Mpeg 2...i have a 425 mb palmpeg-1 that I want to convert to Mpeg 2 and then burn to dvd but I have to go the whole route of full uncompression and then when I convert and burn i take a huge hit in picture quality...any help would be appreciated...i am running the plus version...also , any word on when the instruction manual/guide will be available...Boy would that solve a lot of problems
What is the error? and how did you create this MPEG1 file?
You should have no problem opening MPEG1 files with TMPG as long as they have been created properly. I guess you have created it or edited it with some other 3rd party software along the line.
I have encountered this before and there is a way around your situation.
First of all try and run it through the simple multiplex option in MPEG tools.
If the file remultiplexes then try to load again into TMPG and it should work.
If it won't remultiplex in MPEGtools you have an incompliant MPEG1 file.
Try the above and if it doesn't work I will post the solution to your problem.
I did not create the file...When I downloaded it from neo-modus it was in Mpeg-1 format.. and Pal...I was trying to convert it to MPEG2 so I could burn it to DVD...
I'm having problems loading avi files to TMPG. When I load them there is no picture in the preview but it doesn't say it is not compliable. They all work on my windows media player but only a few will load in TMPG. Most of the files use the smr codec which I have installed and I have the latest directX. Thanks for any help
Since nobody here seems to answer this simple question...I'll do it..(I just got this program 3 day ago!)
Go to OPTIONS -> Enviromental setting -> VFLAPI Plug-in...and then Right click on where it says "Direct show file reader" and it will give you an option to raise the preference of it.....I have it up to "3" and It displays the preview...and its the same thing with sound.
i've got 2 VCD MPG1, both correctly playable. After merging there files, the audio data is always from the same beginning (around 20min from start) position till to the end of the film lost.
I think, there's a bug...
I just tried Tmpgenc for the first time and its extremely fast and no quality loss! but here is my question:
I turned a subtitled movie into mpeg1 and it did it but the subtitles were gone...how can I convert this subtitled AVI into MPEG1 without losing the subtitles?
