Question - TE25 - problems reading VCD-file No.22366
bhaaff  2002-05-31 07:18:50 ( ID:0ue6vwhmujh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I made with the template: Super VCD a mpeg.
But now a can't read it in any player.
Also not in my DVD-player which is PowerDVD 3.0.



Request - TE25 - Section colour filters No.22361
Graham  2002-05-31 06:54:39 ( ID:0ue6vwhmujh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

A problem I often encounter when encoding scenes in mpg (especially from
tapes) is that certain sections of a scene have different colours from the
rest.

It would be great if there was an option to specify, per colour filter,
which section of the input video to apply it to
(all, min x - min y) etc.

Graham



Minion  2002-05-31 09:47:27 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I don"t exactly know what you mean, do you want a color filter just to filter the color on the top half or bottom half of a frame or do you just want to have controll of the intencity of each color filter?You can have total controll of all aspects of the color filters, you just double click on the color filter and adjust it , brightness ,contrast, r,b,g,hue,saturation and many many more, "tmpgenc" has more color filters and controll over them than any encoder or allmost any other program of it"s type.......


Graham  2002-05-31 12:51:21 ( ID:0ue6vwhmujh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

True. The filters are wonderful.

I will give an example of what I mean; I have an avi with drap colours so I use a filter to enhance green and red for instance. But between 1min50sec till 2min34secs the avi is very dark, so for that section I would like to add a filter that makes the video brighter (without making the whole avi file brighter)

So if each filter had an extra option:
{use for whole file } or
{use from [framenumber] until [framenumber]}

then I could get the colours of the whole avi any way I wanted them, regardless of the quality of the input material.

Question - TE25 - My audio also does't work. No.22358
Grumpy  2002-05-31 06:41:16 ( ID:lgbi8qlowi. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I use dvd2avi and then when I use tmpg to encode the movie I also get no sound. If I start encoding and then stop it after a few minutes and then play that small bit back using windows media player the sound is OK. Any suggestions?


Minion  2002-05-31 06:56:28 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

First thing that might be your problem is that you are useing "media player" to play your mpeg"s,When i first started encodeing I would try to play my mpeg files in media player ,it it would play about 20 seconds of audio and would cut out, but when I play it in "power dvd" the audio is perfect...and make sure you have all the proper codecs to decode the audio from your movie..


a0lsux  2002-05-31 20:58:23 ( ID:39nhxzxsmio )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I had similar problem kinda, make sure your audio file is NOT bigger than 2 gigs.

Minion  2002-05-31 06:37:20 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

This eror is caused by corrupt sectors in your avi file,this is very common with files downloaded of the net, to not get the error you have to first go to, "options" then "enviromental settings" then to the "cpu" tab and un-check the "SSE" box, then go to your regular"settings" to "quantize matrix" and un-check the "Use Floating Point" box. now it should stop giveing you that error..

I do not know what to do.
Please if you have any information tell me

jsoled  2002-05-31 04:04:46 ( ID:yko1akrnzgm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Me too. no audio.

source is AVI/Divx. 480x304.

Want to convert to SVCD MPEG2. I selected Centered so it will be 480x480 but it will letterbox since the original is 480x304. Also reduced CBR bitrate to 1640 so it will fit on 2 VCD's (video length is 116 minutes). I did not mess with sound settings and most of it was greyed out anyhow. (224k rate on the sound.) Did my changes mess the sound up? I can't imagine.

No audio on MPEG1 either.

I opened my AVI in Windows Media Player and hit properties.. said audio was MPEG3. Could this be it? How do I fix this?



jsoled  2002-05-31 04:13:18 ( ID:yko1akrnzgm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

sorry forgot one thing. I have already installed that Freihoffer MPEG3 codec (hopefully I have the name close to correct). This does not fix the issue.


I am trying to use Virtualdub to extract the audio to WAV and them TMPGenc to put it back together when encoding my MPEG2 file.

Any suggestions? Or is this the only way?

The AVI will play in Windows Media Player just fine, even before I installed that MPEG 3 codec mentioned above.


a0lsux  2002-05-31 05:06:48 ( ID:39nhxzxsmio )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

same here I'm using d2v & wave file made by dvd2avi to make a vcd but I get no audio after encoding. The wave alone works fine in winamp, i checked my vobs and everything I don't understand what's wrong. help!


Minion  2002-05-31 06:11:39 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The reason most likely is that the audio in your avi is not supported in "tmpgenc" you said your audio was mp3 and it is probably "mp3 vbr" , vbr mp3 is not supported in "tmpgenc" so you should extract the audio to wav with "virtual dub" and encode that, as a general rule you should usually extract your audio to wav, if the audio isn"t in in wav allready..allways make sure that encode your audio to 41000hz or it might not play in your dvd player,and for better audio quality and less errors use a different audio encoder with tmpgenc, try "toolame" or "scmpx" they work with "tmpgenc" as an external tool under you "external tool" setting in "enviromental settings"..and make sure you have the right audio codecs to decode the mp2 audio stream.


jsoled  2002-05-31 15:57:33 ( ID:yko1akrnzgm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

turned out that Virtualdub would not extract the audio. I'm on the hunt for other tools. otherwise I'll just need to find a different copy of the video that does not have MPEG3 audio in it.


jsoled  2002-05-31 17:08:46 ( ID:yko1akrnzgm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When I try to open a AVI file into the program it says "can not open, or unsupported." I don't know how to fix this...please help.

Thanks very much.

Go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi plugins" and raise the "direct show" to about "2" and lower everything else to "0".....

Hi,

I had the same problem. Testing your solution lets TMPGEnc go into Nirwvana, means it crashes (just away). This is only when opening a DivX 5 File, DivX4 works.
Who can solve this problem?

Question - TE25 - WinDVD won't play it ? No.22335
Oscar  2002-05-30 23:58:58 ( ID:1i8oh0qt9xr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just made my first mpeg 2. Used the DVD-NTSC setting, then changed to 2 pass VBR, avg bitrate to 6000, with max 8000 and min 2000. Left Motion Estimate on "fast" (which is probably why I have ragged edges on camera pans).

Main problem is I drag it to WinDVD 2000 and it won't play. However, it WILL play in WinMedia (7.1) which I didn't expect. Does this sound right??

Man, I have a lot to learn...

Oscar


ASHY  2002-05-31 00:06:58 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

No this doesn't sound right. It's usually the other way around.
Has it got the extension .mpg.

Your ragged edges are interlacing artifacts, nothing to do with the motion estimate search setting. What is the original movie source?

ASHY


Oscar  2002-05-31 01:13:30 ( ID:1i8oh0qt9xr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Extension is .mpg Just built another short one using all defaults for [DVD-NTSC] and still same.

Original source is DV from Sony Digital 8. Using MS codec. Was captured using Scenalyzer Live. The latest test files were export from Premiere 6.0 ->MS DV AVIs.

Made mpg1 VCD files and they come out great. WinDVD appears to load it and it shows up in playlist, but when press "play" nothing happens. Just put a movie DVD in machine and WinDVD plays that fine... (Dell 8100 P4)

I tried non-interlace for encode mode and that didn't help jagged edges. Is another setting somewhere?


ASHY  2002-05-31 01:31:22 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Try this, open WinDVD first then drag your MPG to the WinDVD window and it should play. If not I'd say a Windvd re-install was in order.

Choosing non-interlace won't get rid of your ragged edges.
Go to setting>advanced and double click the einterlace filter.
From the drop down box choose Even-odd field(field) and then find some action like a car moving or someone walking across the screen then click the righthand arrow a few times and observe the movement.
If it looks like it goes forwards then jumps back then you need to change the Field order in advanced. If it doesn't and it looks smooth then the field order is correct.

Now change the de-interlace option to even field and look at an action scene again where something is moving. The interlacing(ragged edges) should be gone, if not try the other settings until they are.

Double click on the filter -- who'd a thought.... Cool. Didn't suspect you could do that.

Is there a file/document somewhere that tell all these little "secrets" for TMPGenc? Or should we just monitor this BBS for awhile to learn?

Thank you so much for your help!!!

I realize each video probably varies, but for a Sony DV indoor video, what would be your guess of the optimum settings to get the very best quality for a DVD-R? VBR? high bandwidth (8000 or so avg?) noise filter? and obviously the interlace filter...

Oscar


ASHY  2002-05-31 02:04:01 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I can't answer that question, the only way to find out is trial and error. Encode a little see how it turns out, if you don't like it try a different setting. The only thing I can tell you is that 'Constant quality(CQ)' will give you better quality than the other settings.

Try not to go overkill on the bitrate, 8000 is rather high for an average and could give your DVD player playback problems and you wouldn't need to use the noise filter unless there really is noise in the original movie, which is unlikely seeing as your source is DV, but that's up to you.
Set your VBV buffer to 224 and your DC component precision to 10.

The rest is up to you.

Hi, I would like to convert wav files to mp3 using TMPGEnc because no other programs designed for just this, work, which is weird. Anyway, I go to the audio settings and only MP2 is available. What do I need to do to get MP3?

Thanks.


ASHY  2002-05-30 23:02:28 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

How do you mean no other programs designed for this work?

To answer your question, load your wav file in TMPG, go to File>Output to file and choose 'wave file'
Choose where you want to save the file and give it an mp3 extension. Now click the audio 'setting' button on the right and choose the mp3 codec and bitrate you require.
Now click save and your mp3 will be created.

steve  2002-05-30 23:20:44 ( ID:d0gm5jpc/1c )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I mean programs that are specifically programmed to convert music files. Like Audio Conversion Wizard.

It still wont encode it in mp3. The option isn't there, do I need to download a seperate encoder, like LameMP3?

Thanks


ASHY  2002-05-30 23:33:02 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Your problem is you don't have an mp3 codec installed.

Or install this codec http://members.telocity.com/~linuxgod/ra-codec12.zip

I tried to convert DivX AVI to MPEG1. All is OK but video/audio sync : at the end of 85 min video the difference between video and audio gets as much as 5-8 sec.

What is wrong ?


DivX AVI parameters (according to VirtualDub's "File Info") :

Frame size 512x384
FPS (us/frame) 24.031 (41613 us)
Decompressor DivX:) Low-Motion
# of frames 123211

Audio sampling rate 44100 Stereo
Conversion Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer3 Codec
Preload skew 8000 samples (0.18s)
# of frames 123200

TMPGEnc settings :

Video:
Stream type MPEG1 Video
Size 320x240
Aspect 1:1
Frame Rate : I tried 24 fps and 23.976 fps, no result
Rate control : CBR
Bitrate : 1150

Sound :
Stream type: MPEG1 Audio Layer II
Frequency : 44100
Mode : Stereo
Bitrate : 112

Codec info :
Fraunhofer IIS Layer3 codec (professional)
DivX MPEG4 Low motion (DivX 3.11)


ASHY  2002-05-30 22:08:32 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

THe problem is that whoever created your AVI has altered it in an attempt to sync the audio and video as it must have been out of sync originally.

There are two things which point to this. One, is the framerate has been changed to 24.031 fps to shorten the movie slightly (at a guess to try and make the audio and video the same lengths) and there has been a delay added to the audio of 0.18 secs, I know it's not much but believe me it DOES make a difference.

What you need to do is split the video and audio into two separate files, split the audio to a wav and change the framerate of the video to 23.976 fps before splitting then post back with the lengths of each one of the files here and I will advise you further how to fix it.


ASHY


RD  2002-05-30 23:04:08 ( ID:vva5qgw897. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

ASHY, thank you.

OK, I did it using VirtualDub and WinAmp. Now I have video only DivX AVI, converted to 23.976 fps, and uncompressed WAV 44100x16x2.

AVI params (Virtual Dub "File info") :
fps 23.976 (41708 us)
# of frames 123211 (1:25:38)
File size 642 220 032

WAV params (MS Media Player (mplayer2.exe)) :

Media length 1:25:38
File size 906 513 452

Does equal durations means that I can start TMGEnc on these files and get well syncronysed .mpg ?


ASHY  2002-05-30 23:40:35 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just because they are same length it doesn't mean it will be in sync, this is the reason the creator of the AVI has changed the framerate and added the skew in the first place.

You can check the A/V sync quite easily with Virtualdub.

Load up your new AVI into Virtualdub and then click Audio>WAV audio... and find find your new wav.

Click the first play button at the bottom left and this will show you if the movie is in sync or not. Go right through to the end of the movie and see if it becomes async anywhere. My guess is it will. If it is in sync you should be able to encode no problem otherwise post back here for more info.

ASHY


RD  2002-05-31 00:40:40 ( ID:vva5qgw897. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Yes, you right, they are not in sync.

Things looks very strange :

VirtualDub, AVI converted to 24.0 fps + extracted audio : audio 4 s later at end
VirtualDub, AVI converted to 23.976 fps + extracted audio : audio 4 s later at end
VirtualDub, initial AVI w. audio : audio 4 s ahead at end

mplayer.exe (not DirectShow mplayer2), initial AVI w. audio : sync OK
TMPGEnc, initial AVI w. audio, "Source range" at end : sync §°§¬

Today is enough for my (I am at GMT +3). I guess the best solution is just to not encode this movie at all :)

Thank you. Bye.




ASHY  2002-05-31 01:19:08 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Try this you may get lucky.
Stick with your original avi which is 24.031 and load that into TMPG. Now load your new wav as the audio and go to the source range filter and add 180 msecs to the audio gap correct now check your movie for sync.

How do you use the batch encoding feature of TMPGENC ? Is there some documentation or help file somewhere ? I am trying to convert a bunch of quicktime files to MPEGs.

Thanks for any help !

Thanks,

Set up movie as if you were gonna encode, when your set go to File>save project.
Do this for each movie then when ready to encode click File>batch encode. In the box that pops up add all your projects then click run.

Minion  2002-05-30 22:28:38 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

To batch encode you just load in your files and do yer settings then go to "file" and save it as a project file, then repeat this for every file.Now go to "file" then to "batch encode" and a window will pop up and just load your project files into the window and you are ready to encode, that"s it.....
