Problem: screeching/chirping/pinging noise in final mpg file
I use
smart ripper 2.41
DVD2AVI 1.75
TmpgEnc 2.53
VCDEasy 1.09
If I split the file WHILE encoding, the audio is fine.
If I use the "mpg tools" in TmpgEnc to split or merge,
the screeching appears in the audio track.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Don't know if it's fixed yet with 2.54. Will test.

The first time I used the program, everything ran great. Seems to be a good program. Then I ripped another DVD to M2v and AC3, converted AC3 to Wav and went into TMPGenc to Encode into MPG. The Video Seems to load fine in the wizard, but when you go to The bitrate conversion screen with the bar at the bottom that shows how big you file is going to be there is now bat, and it says that size is .03 MB. I do the same thing w/ only the audi and it shows fine. I assume there is something wrong with the m2v file, but I can play it fine in windows media player, and ReMPEG2 reencodes the same file fine. Help Please, much rather use this program...
What do you mean you ripped the DVD to M2v and ac3
Why did you do that?
Just use the DVD2AVI method which is much simpler and faster and won't give you the problem you are having which I guess is due to the fact you don't have an MPEG2 codec installed to open the file.
I am getting a can find format error when I try to convert my divx to vcd.
do I need a plugin ? If so wheere can I get all the
peg plugins
I have the 4.11 , 5.0 divix encoder install on xp os.
Running TMPEGenc 2.53 on XP (Intel 2Ghz, 512MByte memory)
TMPEGenc crashes in some cases when merging large MPEG2 files
because of lack of memory. However, this is strange because
in some cases it successfully merges even larger files (up to 4.5 GByte).
The behaviour is always the same: the error occurs after finishing
the video and audio part when writing the file on disk. After about
700Mbyte the required virtual memory increases from about 130MByte
to more than 2Gbyte until XP finally gives up.
Could someone please explain the error 'Index of scan line is out of range 240'I am having problems understanding what I am doing wrong.I am new to this and would appreciate some help please. Thankyou Jo
I think this is something to do with an error in the AVI. Something to do with the fact that there is only active video information starting from the 21st scanline and for some reason the information in your AVI is starting before that which is out of range.
If it plays ok in Media player then I would suggest either running it through virtual dub and re-encoding the file or use Virtual dub to frameserve the file to TMPG.

Can someone help me with this problem, I have looked at the site vcdhelp.com and tried doing research on the net, and still havent been able to extract my audio right. Plus I have looked at this site for help.I have downloaded Easy Audio CD-DA and have extracted my audio, but the audio comes out distorted! I have tried to make it a wav file and mp3 and all come's out the same, bad!
It will load in TMPGEnc after extracting it, but comes out the same. I dont know what sound file it is on my avi. But will not load as it is. And cant seem to convert it to any good sound file.
After you have installed goldwave and the filters open up your AVI in goldwave.
Wait for it to de-flash the file then click File>save as and save your audio as a wav then load that into TMPG as your audio with your movie.
I'm using a 480x480 source and trying to make a 480x480 output MPEG2. I have video settings to center at custom size 480x480, yet i'm still getting a 640x480 output, with an improper aspect ratio! What am I missing.....
There are two ways to do this seeing as your output is the same as the source.
You need to set your source aspect ratio to '4:3 display' and your output ratio to '4:3 display'.
Set the Video arrange method to 'Full screen (keep aspect ratio)'
Or, and this is the method I would choose, select 1:1 for both the output and source aspect ratio.
Make sure the output frame size is 480x480 under the video tab in both cases.
I should have said the preferred method would be to set your source aspect ratio to '4:3 display' and your output ratio to '4:3 display'.
Make sure the output frame size is 480x480.
This will give you the correct ratio for your TV.
It is impossible for it to come out at that resolution if you set it at 480x480.
How are you verifying that the resolution is at 640x480?
Download this program and open your file and copy the statisics and paste them here. http://teco.emg.hu/bitratev/BV.EXE
Also set the file up as you would to encode it then copy and paste the info from TMPG that you can see at the bottom. For example:
MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 192kbps
I am using WMP to view resolutions..
Super Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-2 480x480 29.97fps CBR 635kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)
is the info line.. will d'l the BV.exe
Windows Media Player gives me a problem with retaining details about a file - when file is re-made the old details are still displayed. I don't think too highly of WMP. Don't know if this is your issue, but I have gotten good at cleaning the old info out of WMP memory :)
Is there a limit to the file size that TMPGEnc can deal with? Because whenever I get to the 4GB size it stops encoding and will go no further. i have plenty of disc space, etc. etc.
Your problem is the FAT32 file size limit.
If you need to create a file bigger than that you will need to format your drive using the NTFS file system in either NT Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
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)
>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.
