Hi - I am using 2.54 to merge/cut some files that were captured with DVC II (SVCD) and (DVD) [mpeg2 in general]. All i get EDIT is a black screen - but i do get audio...
This used to work in 2.53 for me...
Any ideas??? Thank you for your consideration & TIME!
the merge and cut and all the mpeg tools aren"t gauranteed to work with mpegs that are not encoded with "tmpgenc", try a different video editor like "ulead video studio pro" or "media studio pro".....
um, hi this is sizzy and i have a major problem. my videos after converting them to mpeg files through tmpgenc has scratches in them. it's so annoying, i mean with every other second or so there seems to be a scratch. i tried one of those toolame encoder and it kept on saying i can't use it. help me anybody...
if you can"t get "toolame" to work try "scmpx" you can get it by looking on any search engine,if you can"t get any of them to work then you have problems other than scratchy audio ......
Did you just convert the file to mpeg, or did you also split it using the tmpgenc mpeg tools? I have had this problem, but cured it by avoiding the split/merge tools and updating to version 2.54a.

Hey VeloBorg, i don't know about the split/merge tools... where is it and how can i avoid it? i also took your advice and downloaded 2.54a version, and it got rid of the scratchy skipping sound that I had before, but then half way through the video there were no sound... why is that... do you know? people advised me to use virtual dub, and i have it downloaded on my computer but i don't even know how it works. If you can help me with this problem, then I think I'm set...
I am trying to recode MPG-2 29.97 as 23.97, and having trouble with the last few frames of a clip. So I tried the source range feature, to specify the subset of the clip I wanted to process - and I have found two problems:
1. it seems that the forward/backward buttons on the source range window are not quite opposites of each other: if I move forward to a particular frame, then move past it, then back, then forward - the frame i am interested in does not appear at the same frame position the second (and later) times;
2. the processing is limited to a range *like* the one I specify, but not the exact same one - but this could be due to 1.
Am I the only one to see this? I am using TMPGEnc 2.54a...
With "tmpgenc"it is hard to get it to encode to the frame cuz it seems to go to the closest key frame instead,what you can try to do is edit a couple frames off the mpeg after encodeing but it still will go to the closest key frame ,I think it is a glitch with editing mpegs....
> because how would you like to do Merge and Cut if a video would not start necessarily with a keyframe
But if we are talking about the source range, then it *is* a glitch...
I should be able to select any frame I want as starting and ending points - and TMPGEnc should make the first frame I selected into a key frame on output, if the chosen frame was not one to begin with... And it should output all frames up to the ending frame i chose, whether that frame is or isn't a key frame - it can always fix up the output, if necessary. No?
I have not been able to find a solution to this problem, (it is not TMPEGEnc related,well sort of) Ever since I upgraded to XP. I cannot play my burned VCD's on puter. They work fine on my stand alone DVD player. The Mpeg file plays fine. I have tried several software programs from Windows Media Player to Power DVD. Power DVD will even play vob file but not a dat file on a VCD.
Any ideas? I have searhed the web, and all I found was alot of people with the same problem with XP. If any one has any ideas could you please email me as I don't have time to check this site to often.
Thanks in Advance
Don"t know what you mean I have the new plus version and I have "scmpx" as my external encoder but "toolame" works for me two,maybe there is a problem with your download of tmpgenc try downloading a new one........
I am new and would like to know why when i try to convert an ati file which my videocard is an all in wonder radeon that the tmpg 2.54a says that avi file is not supported or cannot open file i am trying to convert Harts war on 2 cd's i adjusted enviromental settings to zero except direct show which is on 2 I have converted other short 5 min movies but cannot convert any others! Can anyone help me? I am running xp with 1.6 ghz 80g hard drive but no dvd player yet only home dvd which i would like to play these movies.
Thanks!
ATI file ehh, never heard of it must be a capture format for ati video cards,is it an avi file?try captureing to uncompressed avi or another avi capture format,and try raising the "avi compatability reader" and"open dml" file reader"
in the "vfapi plugins"..Tmpgenc" is mostly compatible with avi, mov ,and mpeg formats so if you are captureing to a non avi format you will have problems,if you could encode your ati file to say divx4.12 with "virtua dub" then it would work .but try raising the filters first before you do a time consumeing encode to divx.........
I have a problem very similar to this one (hpd777): I have captured some video avi dv files from my videocamera, then I mounted a complete movie from them with premiere 6.0 and the output exported to a dv avi file.
Tmpgenc is unable to import the dv avi file exported from premiere but works OK with dv avi files captured from my videocamera.
I've used several versions of Tmpgenc but the result is the same.
The demultiplex isn"t for encodeing it is to seperate the audio and video streams so you can load the mpeg2 in to "tmpgenc" to encode to mpeg1, if you are getting the ilegal mpeg stream error while demultiplexing even when the setting at the top is set for "super vcd" then there is something wrong with the mpeg, or it wasn"t made by "tmpgenc" and could have a incompatable audio format,you can try to make an avi out of it and load that into "tmpgenc" but that would take twice as long as usual,....
Is it a svcd file or is it on a disk,if it is a file it is the same as encodeing an avi file to vcd,but sometimes "tmpgenc" wont let you load a mpeg2 file into it.so you then have to de-multiplex it and then load each file individualy and then it should work,but if you still have problems you can make a project file with it useing dvd2avi...I hope one of these things will work....
go to "file " then to "mpeg tools" then to "de-multiplex" load your mpeg2/svcd file in and click "run".It will give you a "m2v" video file and a "mp2" audio file ,then load the "m2v" file in for your video and the "mp2" file in as audio, this should get it loaded in "tmpgenc"....
you have to make sure that you choose super vcd setting at the top of the page....but if you keep getting the error then there is something wrong with your mpeg file....you can try to make a divx avi out of the mpeg and then encode that but it will take a long time.....you can e-mail me and I"ll tell you how, that is if you can"t find another solution....
you could try putting direct x version 8 in or failing that do a search for the missing .dll file and then try pasting that into your system folder and system 32 folder but i'm not entirley sure if that would work or not
I am having problems creating vcd file from a dvd2avi project file I can render the video only but when I add the wav file I get the error "An error occured when audio was decoded" I tried setting the wav file reader's priority but it doesn't work... Pls give me some suggestions
Try extracting the audio from the vob files with dvd2avi again,make sure that you have the audio on "auto select" and "dolby surround downmix".and maybe extract a different audio track from your vob files(if there is another audio track in your language),look in your info file that smartripper made(if you used it)and see what other audio tracks you have and selact from one of those...hopefully one of these things will solve your problem...
One thing you can try is load in your d2v file and encode it without the audio,then encode the audio with "db power amp" with the mp2 plugin, then multiplex the two files together...I have done this quite a few times when i thought there was something with the audio but it turned out to be my media player...
Darn... an extra two steps I have to take... do you have any ideas why tmpgenc can't do it??? I would really appreciate it if I could do it in two steps less.. if not.. what program does the multiplexing?
"Tmpgenc" does the "multiplexing" under "file" go to "mpeg tools" you can edit and merge and de-multiplex here.."db power amp" is free from "www.downloads.com"and you download the plugins at there site..by the way can you hear the wav file when you play it with media player or win amp?and have you tried any external audio encoders like"toolame" and "scmpx" they work with "tmpgenc"?maybe you should try one cuz the audio encoder that is built in "tmpgenc" sort of sucks..you can find "toolame" or "scmpx" on any search engine, I use "scmpx" if you want I could e-mail it to you?......
never used DVD 2 AVi, but if it works with VirtulDub, let the VD frameserver pass the data to TMPGEnc and everything should be all right since VD only passes uncompressed data to TMPG
I have successfully encode my first mpeg2. Now the trouble is splitting it. I split it and burned it with nero 5.5. When i played it in my dvd player the motion was scetchy and audio out of sync. I was not like this when i played it on my computer....help
maybe the problem is with splitting it, I didn"t know that nero split files and I have been useing it for a long time,any way if you need to split a file in "tmpgenc" under "file" go to "mpeg tools" then to "merge and cut" and it is pretty self explanitory from there............
I am a complete newbie here. This is only my 2nd project. I just finished a 7 hour encode from AVI (captured in Studio 7) and want to create a DVD (MPEG-2). I am a registered owner (paid for it!) of 2.53.35.130. At the end of the 7 hour encoding process I get a dialog box
"An error occured when audio was decoded".
I haven't yet burned the DVD, but played a minute or two of the MPEG-2 file on the PC using WMP and it seems OK.
Any ideas? I'll be glad to fill in more information, but I don't know what to tell you. I repeat --- newbie!!!!
that error happens from time to time and sometimes the file works and sometimes it doesn"t,but if it plays fine on your cpu then it is probably fine to burn it to disk........
