Where do I save these templates? I was notified that I should right click on the template I want and so I right clicked on "704x480" from the KVCDx2 and "For one CD" menu and it only gave me the option of "Save Target As". Is this what it's supposed to do? I noticed that if I right click and select "Properties", then it shows me that it is a ".mcf" file. I also know that TMPGEnc has a "Load" function which allows it to be encoded in different screen formats and all these seem to be ".mcf" files. Does this have anything to do with it? Also, I tried encoding an avi files the size of about 600MB, but it said it would take over 26 hours to complete. I have a 1.8Ghz computer (brand new HP), with Pentium 4 and I figured that it would be faster. Most people have told me that their slower computers take only a couple of hours tops. How can I take care of this problem? Thank you once again for your help. I'm a little new to this, so I'm having a lot of problems.
So you have allready downloaded these templates?I guess you did cuz you wouldn"t be able to see the properties, all you do is take the template and put it in the "templates" folder in the "tmpgenc" folder, now when you want to use the template to encode you click "load" (in tmpgenc) and go to the templates folder and choose the template you downloaded and put in the "templates" folder, and then the template will load and you then encode...But as for your "HP" I have no idea why it would run so slow,I have a "Hp" too, but I have had to send it back to the company for an exchange 4 times and this was in the first 3 months, mostly over a problem with the direct memory access controller, I would get the blue screen of death when ever i enabled DMA and tried to rip a dvd, but i finally got it fixed,Phone customer support and give them hell and maybe they will send you a new one or maybe 4 new ones, but it should be under warrenty so you should be able to take it to the shop and get it fixed for free if it is a hardware problem.But yes you are running really slow cuz my HP 800mhz can do a whole movie in under 8-10 hours, but the with the new encoder I use for mpeg2(not mpeg1)I can do a whole movie in 3-4 hours.but if you cant figure it out get it looked at ,sometime new computers have bugs that need to be worked out ....
i have a problem with my two kids turning off my computer while i am out of the room or what not and usually my luck has it that i only have four hours left or two sometimes. i go to resume the converting and i don't know how. then i tried to start the process and then save it, stop it and the try to resume. still no luck.
There is no way to resume a interupted encodeing session, but what you can do is thart encodeing were you left off and then join the two files with the "merge & cut" feature..usually if you start at the next frame after you got cut off then you can barely notice the transition of the two parts....
I went to www.kvcd.net because I was refered to it by a helpful person who replied to my problems. However, I can't find any programs there that I can download. There are only templates and when I click on one of them they just give me a list of words or something. Is their site down, maybe? Or is there something I'm not looking at that I should be?

i've got a mpeg II stream. it's a tv rip, with a variable bitrate i think.
it's 2,4 GB and i want to cut it in 800 mb files.
is there any program out which directly cuts the file in 800 mb pieces ?
i tried it with tmpg but it's only luck to find out after what time 800 mb is reached. and i think because of the variable bitrare it's impossible to calulate ???
I've used AVIChop, but it takes a long time for big files. Sometimes it seems to freeze, but you can still give it a shot. I think you might find it under www.vcdhelp.com
What you should do is get "bbmpeg" then de-multiplex your mpeg file and load it in the multiplex in bbmpeg and you can specify the size of the out put files, so if you specify 800mb then it will output you file in 800mb pieces...This is what I usually use to split my files into equal pieces......
You can also split the 2.4 gigabyte file up into several parts
so you may burn it.Afterwards you can copy each part from the cd
to the harddisk again,merge them together,and then you have the original
2.4 gigabyte file again.There are lots of programs for that.
One of them is called "MaxSplitter".Search for it in http://www.google.com
I have this problem I used to encode every episodes I downloaded in an asf format with tmpgenc into Mpeg, but since about a month tmpgenc frozed each time I used it, but with the new version it doesn't. The matter is that there is only about 1 minute of sound and then nothing!!!!!!
It's weird because it means it can encode the sound, but after a minute it stops. Otherwise tmpgenc works with other files!
I hope someone knows how to solve this problem :-)
Thanks
You should encode the audio from your asf file to a wav file cuz usually asf has wma audio and tmpgenc does not support wma audio, then use the extracted wav file as your audio source....
Why are you useing "dvd2svcd"?Try useing "dvd2avi" to extract the audio to wav and make a d2v file and encode the d2v file and the wav audio and you shouldn"t have any problems,I never do.......
Thats wierd then how do you choose what audio track you want or if you want to extract subtitles or any of the many settings that change from movie to movie, or if you want to use ivtc in dvd2avi..maybe you need a more hands on aproach, cuz how can you know where you went wrong if you don"t know what settings you have used.........just a thought....
sorry I've only started doing this.. been about 5 days now.
Did a few tests and I seem to be able to encode fine if I run TMPG on its own without the use of DVD2SVCD. Just, when I use the program it will keep giving a green output MPG file (visible green from the encoding preview window).
DVD2SVCD integrates all the ripping/encoding/chapters/bin creation into one program with the use of the common utilities -- DVD2AVI, BBMPEG, TMPG or CCE, etc. Ideally I'd like to use the program to do it all for me since I don't know the process that well... and TMPG has worked in the past with the program. Just not sure what went wrong and if I can blame the new versions or some simple codec issue.
Then don"t use "dvd2svcd" just bute the bullet and learn how to use the programs so if you have a problem then you know were to look for the source of it, another thing you might try is to see if you have the "angel potion" codec on your machine cuz it causes discoloration in the encoded mpeg file but this doesn"t sound like your problem but it is worth looking into...
With DVD2SVCD 1.0.9 build 3, a new mpeg2dec2.dll is provided as an alternative to the mpeg2dec.dll. In DVD2SVCD's Frameserver tab, if you set mpeg2dec to use this mpeg2dec2.dll, it appears to solve the green screen problem.
Your source file probably has an unsupported audio format, you need to extract the audio to wav with "virtual dub" then use the wav file as your source audio file, and you have to encode the audio to 41000hz or your dvd player won"t play it..
Ok, I recently ripped a DVD and I was in the process of converting it into a VCD. I changed the bitrate to 2200 and lowered the audio to 192. Now here's were the problem arised. I tried to change the resolutionof the VCD. Now I already know that the default is something like 352x240 (I can't actually remember what it is, but that's not important) I changed it to 720x480 (Typical DVD resolution) I set it to non-interlaced and 16:9 aspect ratio. And encoded it. Everything went fine, but when I viewed it when it was done there were these strange lines/distortion when any object was in movement. I'm playing the finished VCD on my comp and my DVD player and they both display the lines/distortion. Does anyone know why this is? Is there a setting that can disable/lower the display of these lines? If anyone has a solution to this problem or a way to get around this please Email me at SprkFade@aol.com, or just post it here. Thanks!
I'm not sure,but maybe this type of GOP is impossible.
I think to have read somewhere that every B-frame must
be next to an I- or P-frame either before or behind itself.
I¡Çm absolutely sure that IBBBBBBBI GOP¡Çs are legal:
I-frame: Intra-frame, don¡Çt depends on any other frame.
P-frame: Predicted-frame, depends on previous frame (I or P), and has only changes from between this frame and the previous.
B-frame: Both-frame, depends on previous and later frames type I or P, reflecting only changes between both and actual frame.
Now, TMPGEnc can only output IBBBBBBBPIBBBBBBBPIBBB¡Ä GOP¡Çs, that¡Çs incorporating an inefficient approach: B is from previous I and later P, really P are predicted (much error) and irrelevant, because after are inserted and I frame.
Please, correct actual code: I=1, P=0 and B=n don¡Çt need to produce IIIIII GOP¡Çs!!!
If it plays on your computer then the problem is not with "tmpgenc" cuz if you can watch it on your computer then the encoder has done what it was supposed to do, the problem is either with the way you burned it to disk or with your vcd player,Nero is probably the best and easiest to use to burn vcd"s and if you can watch it on the computer and you burnt it properly then it is a compatability issue with your vcd player...
Excuse me if I have not a good english...
I've used tmpgenc for convert AVI to MPG but in some Avi i have found this error:
The video is not syncronized vith the audio and i have try to adjust the problem in the option before the starts of encoding, with the option of delay sound... I used 2000 m seconds of delay (the effective delay...) but when the program finish to encode I found the same problem... 2000 m seconds of delay...
What can i do?
Thank you very much..
