I have converted 2 movies now (both star wars movies) and both of the run fine ( on 2 cd's) until about half way I get a "glitch" on the screen and then when the poicture comes back the sound is off from the picture.


Any idea's??? I know you get a lot of similar questions but can you answer one more???


Thanks!

I have run across this glitch before and had to re-encode the file but you can try to edit out the glitch then join the two parts together and see if that works.....

1st off just like to say thnx to Minion about the Converting AVI to MPEG and not the other way round drrrrrrrrrr like I said.

I have now cracked it by making a AVI demo into a TMPGENC works great, but theres afew little things I was wondering if you could help....?

1. After making a Demo it was 10.4mb for 39 seconds is their anyway of compressing that anymore if so do you know where I can download the software?

2. I added a mp3 by selecting Vido&Audio now it has gone from 10.4mb file to 143mb file :( why did it do that if the MP3 is only 4.5mb...?

3. Is their any way to Play Qake a record in AVI without the slowdown...? or does someone else have to Demo in AVI for you?

I have tried all sorts of things like putting my FPS down from 130+ to 20 and tried /cl_avidemo 1 all the way upto 25...

sorry for being thick but I have been trying to sort this out for a while now and I have totally lost the plot :'(

Plz if you know anything that can help plz Reply

Im totally lost about what you are doing ,what is "Quake"? and what do you mean by makeing a demo?and that is what I understood ,everything else is giberish.Why don"t you start by telling us what you are doing ,explain it like we don"t have a clue what encodeing is...

hi m8

Right I'll start off from the begining....


I am making a tricks Demo from Quake III Arena (PC Game)and I want to make it into a MPEG by recording the Demo in IVA so when I start the Demo in the game I have been Putting /cl_avidemo which takes screenshots and then converting the TGI screenshots into MPEG using your TMPGE program,but what I can't understand is after converting the TGI screenshots into a MPEG movie I then added Music (mp3) but I made two of the same one with Audio and one without Audio, the one without Audio was 10.4mbs and when I added a mp3 (4.5mb) the whole thing shot upto 140+mbs what do I have to do to stop the file getting a silly size cus of just adding a Mp3???

I guess that you are not very familuar with Quake Demos lol but when I start the demo using /cl_avidemo 1 the screen slows right down cus of the tgi screenshots its taking, so basically I want to record a avi demo without the slowdown, is this posible?

I have tried to lower my fps whilst recoding AVI demo but it's still the same, just wondering if someone else need to spectate me and record IVA demo???

Sorry if you still can't understand what I meen but thats as far as I have got so far thats why I need help, I'm still in the proces of learning myself:(

So you are just recording screen shots of a game you are playing, and you want to encode them to mpeg?and are you sure that is "143mb" not 14.3mb" cuz I don"t know were the 120mb came from unless it is padding, to get rid of padding you just make a copy of your file by running it through the "merge and cut" without editing, just load in your file then choose your output file then click run and it will make a copy and if there is any padding in the file it will be gone, but I can"t beleive there is 120mb of padding, Try captureing your screen shots at 29.97fps then encode to 29.97fps and you shouldn"t have any chopyness and capture uncompressed avi for best quality..sory but I don"t know much about doing stuff like that .....

I have an mpeg and i want to add some more space to the top and bottom so that I can fix the apsect ratio.

To start with the mpeg was pal and has been converted to ntsc.
so it is at 576x240, and the picture is streched to long, ie the people's faces are to long.

I need to add 48 pixels of black to the top and bottom of the picture.

How can i do this?

are you selecting (under advanced) Full screen (keep aspect ratio)???

If not that will correct your problem!!

In the advanced tab go to "crop" and you can add borders there ....

Well there is no version 2.55, but you probably mean 2.54, and tmpgenc will work on any cpu and on any windows os,are you haveing problems? post them here and we will try to help you out...

PSSST Hay Minion 2.55 is available now. :O) Also in Plus version..hehe

Need assistance with Ulead's Movie Factory. Have AVI file, decompressed audio into WAV file, encoded with TMPGE and ran a simple de-mux. Took results and mulpiplexed with bbMPEG. Checked Sync on MPEG-2 and all was fine, loaded into Movie Factory, selected DVD, added six chapters and started the program. Result was DVD on DVDR mediaR out of sync. Anyone have this figured out yet? Thanks.

It sounds like a problem with "ulead dvd movie factory" not tmpgenc.....

Hy there,

does somebody know a software t change the volume of mpeg? I produced a svcd with tmpgenc and forgot to change the volume there. But i do not want to decode the vobs again. Is there a editing software?

First you can "de-multiplex" your mpeg file, then take the audio and encode it to "wav" with an audio encoder, then load your wav into tmpgenc and go to the audio settings and raise the volume and use "normalization" now encode just your audio to mp2 with tmpgenc ,then multiplex the new audio file to your video file and the volume will be louder...

My copy of TMPG shuts down without warning during encoding. I also own LSX3.5 from Ligos which does the same so I'm not blaming TMPG. Something must be wrong with my system - but what? I tried it on another machine and it did exactly the same thing. Could it be my AVI files? They are produced from my Pinnacle DV200/Adobe Premiere setup. I can't be the only person this is happening to.... Can anybody help me? Please!

I don"t really know why this is happening to you.Are you useing the pinnacle "dv" codec?I have heard that the pinnacle codec isn"t compatible with tmpgenc try de-compressing your avi files then encodeing them..

Ligos Codecs are the mainspring in most of Pinnacle Systems editors and yes they do cause problems in the later versions of TMPGEnc....The way I got around the problem was to record the edited footage back to my camcorder, then re-capture using Uleads VideoStudio 6 which uses Uleads own Codec. The resulting MPEG or AVI is willingly accepted by TMPGEnc. (Earlier versions of VideoStudio use the same Ligos Codecs as still used by Pinnacle.)

Thanks guys! I tried the producing my AVI's with Pinnacles DV Codec, Cinepak Codek by Radius & Indeo 5.10. The only one it could get it to work with was the Indeo Codek. Well, problem solved! :)

Tmpgenc is only compatible with "Video For Windows" codec"s and "open DML Direct Show" codecs so if you load up a bunch of those codecs you will be able to have a better choice....

hi

i have a
stream writing error
after starting to encode a avi file

what would this mean ??

You probably ran out of disk space...

could it be something else ?

i have 2,7gb free ....

no disk space on c:

thats the problem

thx :)

Why are VCD not 100% compatible with "White Book"?

I am useing a program called "VCD 2.0TK" From Philps. The program gives me an error that my MPG are not a Valid VCD Fromat. I can get around this problem by useing "VCDMUX" but this means I have to make a Video Stream and and Audio Stream. Is there anyway to make the MPG 100% VCD Compliant??

(I have tried the Teplates and they do not make it 100% VCD Compliant)

This is just a little quirk of TMPG.
If you wanr 100% VCD 2.0 compliant yiur gonna have to remux it with VCD 2.0TK, but why bother using that old, dated and by now past it program when there are many other programs out there for authoring to VCD which won't give you this error and are better and easier to use.
TMPG MPEGs will play fine in just about any player you can think of when using the right software.

Hey ASHY

Do you know of the names of any programs Like VCD2TK? I like all the features it lets you have. I have been Makeing VCD Using Nero and I am tired of the simple menus

Hias,

after I finaly made an firmware update of my Yamakawa 715 player to make the kvcd templates work I discovered that my player now sort of detects anamorphic encoded streams on VCDs. All I have to do is to insert an 16:9 DVD bevore I insert my VCD.
I dont know If that would have worked bevore the firmware update. I think its worth a try on other DVD players too.

hi
while running vcd on dvd player time menu is avialable like track,
but i cant make the dvd move to another time ,
how can i make dvd to skip to another scene ?
to cut the mpg to several mpg's is good enought.
am i missing something ?
i use nero & tmpgenc
thanx

if you cut the mpegs and burnt them in tracks like an audio cd then pushing the skip chapter should skip another chapter.

works for me

Use VCD easy to create chapter points then you will be able to skip through these chapters with ease and is much simpler than messing about creating multiple MPEGs.

ASHY

the sequence is this:

-Captured via firewire from the camcorder using adobe premiere
-selected a portion of that capture using source range in tmpgenc
-compressed that capture using tmpgenc DVD ntsc 720x480
this was done succesfully

the noncontinuable error appears when I try to open this file with the wizard trying to compress it to Super VCD or VCD (any of the entries)

any hints

PS: why not compress directly to SVCD or VCD you ask, because I like to keep for archival the best compressed quality.

forgot to tell the following:

athlon 1200 w/256mbram tnt2 video board
camcorder JVC 320, firewire board SIIG

If you are trying to just store these files and not burn them to disk then you would get the same or better quality with smaller file size if you just use a divx format.mpeg format is pretty useless unless you are burning to disk or maybe streaming from a video server but there are better formats to stream from.....

Ohh I allmost forgot,are you trying to encode your mpeg2/dvd ntsc to svcd or vcd?you might need to get the "mpeg2 vfapi plugin" so you can open mpeg2 files in tmpgenc cuz tmpgenc will not open mpeg2 files unless tou have the plugin installed and you still might have to de-multiplex the file to load it..

Hi,
I downloaded TMPGEnc-2.54.37.135-vfp.zip and the ran the TMPGEncVFP_Install.bat but the message still appears.

Do I need to download anything else?

Do I need any codec?

heeeelp

well, I demultiplexed the DV file into two streams: a mp2 audio file and a m2v video file.

when I load only the m2v file, the svcd process goes smoothly.

I checked the mp2 file in winamp and it plays fine, so there is no aparent corruption here.

But when I load both the mp2 and the m2v files in tmpgenc to create a svcd file, it crashes.

So here is my guess: tmpgenc doesn't accept compressed audio while going from dvd to svcd.

Why im sure? I uncompressed the mp2 file to a wav (using winamp for this), loaded the m2v file, then the wav file and the process runs without a glitch.

any ideas?

hope this helps
