I new to converting Avi's to Mpg's so hopefully this will be easy for someone to answer.
I have converted a few DIX avi files into MPG and they have worked fine (after splitting the sound from the AVI first). However all of the MPG's start to change slightly red during any part of the film, it then reverts when the camera angle then changes. The redness is graduail and gets progressivly worse, and seems to be reset after each camera angle change. The source file has no traces of redness.
cause i use virtualdub to save the audio in a .wav file and then encode the movie to .mpg .. if i dont do that the file gets double the video-frames it had b4...
I used to capture with virtualdub in DivX and sound uncompressed to 44000Khz stereo. So the soundpart of the file is'nt that big. And this capture-file can be converted without seperating sound and audio in tmpegenc.

I have captured video from DVD in MPEG2 format.
In order to extract the audio from MPEG2 and save the audio in .WAV format, I use TMPGEnc and it works fine BUT I have to open MPEG2 files one at a time and then extract the audio. Is there any Batch file that can extract the audio automatically from the MPEG2 files.
Yes it's possible with TMPG, but out of curiosity why are you extracting the audio to a wav file?
Anyway to acheive what you ask.
First set up the file you wish to extract the wav from then click FILE>ADD CURRENT PROJECT TO BATCH LIST then choose WAVE FILE from the menu. Choose where you want to output the file then the batch list box will pop up and should have your project listed.
Close the box down and repeat the above steps with all the MPEGs you wish to extract the wavs from.
Then when your done click FILE>BATCH ENCODE then click the RUN button and all your wavs will be extracted in the sequence of the batch list.
Ok I understand that you want to convert your Mp2 to Mp3, but still can't see a point in that as there won't be any increase in sound quality, but it will probably drop the quality and will make your MPEG incompatible with most DVD players.
Anyhow that's up to you.
Now your other point of not having a program to convert mp2 to mp3.
You should try looking under your nose.
TMPG is quite capable of converting mp2 files to mp3, just follow these instuctions.
3. In the box that pops up and assuming you are using TMPGenc 2.54, you will see a button titled 'Setting' where the audio field is.
If your using an earlier version you can just about see the edge of this button on the far right.
Click this button then choose the mp3 codec and bitrate you require.
4. Choose a file name and give it an .mp3 extension.
5. Now click 'Save' and your file will be created.
You can now use this feature to Batch convert all your MPEG2 audio files to mp3 just the same as I explained how to do it with wavs.
As an alternative just download Dbpoweramp. This program converts any format to any format including mp2 audio and does batch encoding too.
In my opinion this is the best audio converter there is as it uses all the best codecs and is free. http://www.dbpoweramp.com

No idear, but why did you split the sound before converting. That seems to me more complicated than it should be. Try to convert the complete file, it should work.

Andre, Tried converting the file complete before, the sound starts fine but gets out of sync within a few mins. The sound ends about 30mins before the end of the movie.
ASHY, Yes, I have just checked the last few, they are all using Angel potion codec, does this matter??

Minion is right that's your problem.
Get rid of the codec on your system.
You should be able to open the file with the DIVX codec. Try 4.12 if not install 3.11 and if non of them work open the file in Virtualdub and re-encode it to a Divx file.
Have encoded quite a few avi files now, but no matter which template I use or bitrate, panning/sweeping shots in the final mpg stutter slightly. Not too much, but enough to spoil viewing pleasure after a bit. It may well be that the whole film stutters, but i notice it most during panning. Any suggestions?
Most of my movies do the same thing at some point in the movie,and have tried every setting and many other encoders and come to the conclution that it is my dvd player because when i play them on my friends really expensive player they play excelently.......
We are seeing similar stuttering in our MPEG-2 output, whether we play it in Elecard on our 1.8Ghz Dell or burn it to a Pioneer DVD-RW and play it in a very nice JVC DVD player. Has anyone else found and conquered this problem? Our original source file is a QT exported from a Mac-based Avid Media Composer, Meridien board set, using the Avid QT codec. The source material going into the Avid is NTSC Digibeta but the camera originals were shot on both 24fps film and 24P Hi-Def 16x9 video, so any thoughts on dealing with the 3:2 issue would also be appreciated.
TMPGEnc is very good. How does TMPGEnc do in DVD format, though, using the newly released DVD+RW/+R/CD rewriter (not the older +RWs, only)? How does TMPGEnc do DVD format:
* Video quality? Settings?
* Audio synch/quality? How best?
* Compatibility with DVD players? Tell us, please.
* Tips (DVD)? How best?
* Skip the TMPGEnc-step to AVI and encode directly to MPEG2-DVD?
* Encoding time? Modified encoding settings?
* Heat problems?
* Capacity (# of 35-minute movies on one 4.7gb disk?) How best?
* +RW vs +R? (a 5-pack of +R are now at $20, lower in the near future)
* Menu(s)? How best?
* Editing software, burning software... recommendations? How best?
* Other considerations, please.
Please post your TMPGEnc DVD info HERE. Thanks, for others to view and consider. Thank you.
ok this is how it is, i have 2 computers , one fast one slow, both athlons. Now the slow one takes 15 hours to make a movie and the movie comes out perfect now the fast one on the other hand makes movies in 2 and ahalf hours but the movies come out with red blotches in the sceens. i do everything on the same computers , i encode them the same but i cant figure it out. i run the same version on both computers. i have a picture of it if theres some way i can upload it to someone who knows more about it id be happy to show them. Help would be greatly appreciated - Thanx in advance!
I own a VDR recorder and if just recorded a SVCD. When i play it in PowerDVD is goes well. Now i want to cut off a bit from the start and the end.
When i try to load it into TmpGenc it came with the messagE
'Could not open this file with directshow'
I then loaded in to smple De-Multiplex and that worked fine.
Now i use the split source in simple multiplex and generated a new source.
I now get the message '2 s Packets cause buffer underflow'
The audio seems to be the problem.
Is there a utility that can scan for this kind of problems & fix it for me, cause i don't want de-multiplex & multiplex again every time i recordered with my VDR recorder.
if you only have 2 packets that cause buffer underflow that is ok it should play fine, that is only like a couple of seconds,by the way what is a vdr recorder?

Hi,
I am having a similar problem posted earlier however none of the solutions have worked. I too am trying to convert a certain 3 cd Pal mpeg2 to NTSC. I have been able to successfully open the smaller sample file and perform the conversion but the full CD file generates an error or hangs up TMPGEnc. I loaded stinky's codec and it seemed to work fine for the smaller file sample. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Go to MPEGtools and using the 'simmple demultiplex' option load in your file.
Blank the audio section which will just leave your file in the 'Video' field
Click run and your movie will be extracted without the audio.
Now try and encode. When it's complete load your new movie into the 'Simple multiplex' option as the 'Video' and your old movie as the 'Audio' and choose the type as MPEG2 SVCD or MPEG1 VCD, depending on which your creating, then click run. Your new movie will then be combined with the sound from the old movie.
If you still can't load it into TMPG then make a d2v project file from the movie without the audio and load that into TMPG then follow the same instructions above to put the audio back into your movie.
When I had Windows XP I could convert Divx. Heck when I had Windows 98 I could convert Divx. Due to WinXP Problems I went to Win2000 and now it is telling me that it is unsupported. Before you ask, YES I have installed the newest version of the software and the Divx codex. I took the exact same Divx clip and tried converting it on Win 98 and it works but is too slow. please help me.
P.S. If anyone can help me with converting to Divx, Please email me (JonahEarl@hotmail.com) I have tried Virtual Dub and other programs but even though I have installed divx, it doesn't give me divx as a conpression option, Thanks
I've still nearly the same problem under Win98. After reinstalling the system, TMPEGenc told me, that it was unsupported. After this I installed the newest versin of TMPEGenc, now the file seems to be supported, but after converting, its not playable in MS-mediaplayer and not cutable in TMPFGenc.
Maybe It's importent to install first the codecs and after this TMPGenc. VirtualDub recognises the new codecs pretty well, so there should be no difference. If VirtualDub hasn't the new Divx codec 5 recognized, there was something gone wrong with the registration of divx 5. Try to install the codec and then TMPGenc on another system, before you reinstall yours. And try to remember, which programs you installed, before it did'nt work anymore. This could be the reason for desaster on my sytem, although I didn't fix it yet.
Have you tried to raise your direct show filter?if not go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi plugins" and raise your "direct show" to "2"...
