Im fairly new to this so this is possibly a simple fix. I have 2 avi's im trying to convert to mpeg. One is a divx rip, the other a plain avi. When i convert the files the movie will gradually turn purple and then go back to normal again. It does this through the whole movie, its still watchable but i thought i could get better quality than that. It definately dosent happen on the originals. I have tried all of the vcd templates but they all do the same thing. I wouldnt have a clue which settings to play with so i have left them alone.
That discoloration is usually caused by haveing the "Angel Potion Codec" in you machine, what you have to do is get rid of the "Angel Potion Codec" and get a different replacement codec if you have to....this should solve your problem cuz it is quite common with that codec.....
When I use the TMPG to convert a multimedia file, I got an error message
"The resolution of the video is illegal....the window size needs to be set between 8x8 and 4088x4088....the width and height of the window needs to be multiple of 8".
How can I solve this problem? How can I resize the window?
You have gotten this error because you have chosen a incorrect resolution for your mpeg,mpeg only supports resolutions that are divisible by eight,but I think that your dvd player will only play mpeg"s with a resolution divisible by 16..If you would have loaded a template you would have had it set to a legal resolution, so what you have to do is change the resolution, go to "settings" and under "size" at the top change it.I don"t know why it was set to a illegal resolution,the only way it would do that is if you set it to a illegal resolution or your avi file has a illegal resolution and you didn"t load any templates....
I think tmpgenc is made to suck up all your resourses while encodeing, if it didn"t it would take forever to encode,I have used tmpgenc on my 800mhz celeron at home and on my work pc which is a dual p4 2.0ghz with 2gb-ddr-ram ,and it sucks up all my resourses on both systems accept I have some ram left over on my work pc, and I can surf the net while encodeing but it still runs at 100%..You cant really do much while encodeing and if you try it can cause errors in tmpgenc...
Tmpgenc shouldn"t have a problem with mpeg4, mpeg4 is basicly the same as divx,you just need to have the proper codec installed on your machine...What problem are you haveing encodeing mpeg-4????
I guess it would help if you told us what trouble you were haveing?and there is no installation you just un-zip it and and double click the "exe" file,so if that don"t work try re-downloading the program but don"t use any download managers cuz they cause problems sometimes when downloading....
After encoding an AVI file into SVCD I want to cut it into two pieces for the right cd-r size.
My problem: I tried several movies to test, TMPGEnc splits the wrong time length, every time somthing between 400 and 500 seconds. It ignores my settings. For example if I set it to start 00:00,00 and end 45:00,00 - TMPGEnc encodes 451 seconds. If I leave it at 00:00,00 / END ... TMPGEnc encodes the same time... and so on...
When you set the start and end times you have to click the { } buttons.
I.E. Select the start position then click { Select the end position then click }
The part that will be cut is the the part indicated in blue.
This is probably what the problem is. It seems like it's not allowing you to set the start and end points.
I would advise you to totally delete TMPG from your system and download it again, this has been known to solve many unusual cases such as this.
If that doesn't work try installing an MPEG2 codec such as this one. http://www.plmovies.com/mpeg2codec_installer.zip
I just re-installed it, same problem... I don't think it's the installation. It works with files I haven't encoded myself. TMPGEnc just ignores my time settings with svcd mpeg2 files I encoded with it before.
its doing this for me i have a hour selected and it only spits out a 50 meg file for 310 seconds instead of a hour 600 meg file what am i doing wrong is this a feture in the demo do i need to buy full version to get the full file?
Hi when i go to convert some avi file si have it only converts the audio and not the video and i did try that envormental setting thing in a message i read and it then gives me erros that file isnt suported. What can i do?
thanks
if i got a bigger hard drive would that speed tmpg up? I have 21 gig now and i can get half a movie done in 12 hours or maybe 10 hours. would a bigger hard drive speed up the process? my other question is about pinnacle, is it any good or would i be wasting my money? what are the pro's and con's of it, if anyone knows. thank you.
When I split the Video from Audio, TMPEnc finishs the job at the half of the file, but without any message. 100% done, but only half of the file. Whatswrong here?
Chances are your source file has an error in it when TMPGenc gets to this it chokes. It possible it will recover if you give it time to finish if not you may have to encode using the new source selection feature you can deselect the bad source file spot this way.
After converting a Matrox DV avi from the Premiere timeline using TMPGEnc and encoding the audio using Export Timeline > Audio, when I put them back together in DVDit!PE, the audio and video are out of synch. It seems that the audio has one sort of false start at the beginning where it seems to start and then starts over. That seems to be the amoount they're out of synch. Both show 2:01:01 for duration but they seem to be out by a fraction of a second. Can anyone tell me what might have caused this and what can be done to fix it?
Sync problems are very common with captured files,you said there was a little glitch at the begining of the audio file ,that glitch seems to have ruined your audio file so I think you will have to do your audio over again,and maybe this time there wont be a glitch at the begining of it,but if they are still out of sync you can use a program like "mpegvcr" or bbmpeg or m2-edit pro"to multiplex the audio to your video but it has a feature that lets you off set the audio or video so you can sync them,but can you get program streams into DVDit?I learned my lesson long ago with DVDit and dumped it because it is way to picky with the files it accepts.........
Thanks for your reply. I had no problem getting the files into DVDit or ReelDVD (ReelDVD actually seemed pickier). I don't know where the glitch came from at the start but it seems to be the problem. I found sound I exported earlier that had no glitch and it synched fine. Any ideas what would have produced the false start on the audio? I used Export Timeline > Audio using entire project. The one without glitch came from a Ligos plug-in export.
