>Yo guyz, I'm a newbie on this computer topics so please spare me. I have the following question:
This is what I want to achieve:
- encode avi, mpg, dvx movies downloaded from the net and play it on my dvdplayer (TV-PAL) on my TV-Pal, dont like whatching long movies behind my PC.
When I use this program it encodes the files to mpg2 files, but when I burn then on a CD my DVD-player (which can translate also V-CD formats) doesn't recognize the file format. It isn't properly converted to be viewed on my TV (DVD/V-CD player)
It might have something to do with the way you are burning your files to disk ,I don"t know how you are doing it but the easiest program for this is "Nero" and you can not just burn it to a disk as a data file it has to be burned as a svcd...But this is just a guess cuz you didn"t give us very much information, why don"t you write back and tell us what you did, the procedure and software you used and the statistics of your avi/divx file......
thanx for replying, i shall describe my steps like this:
I downloaded movies from the kazaa server (the dvd ripped movies or something like that maybe divx codec) the entire movie is too tired to watch it on pc so i like to play them in my dvd player which also plays vcd. A friend of mine gave me a cdrom which has been burned with a vcd file BUT it isn't just like 1 file I have examined the cdrom in my pc and my pc says it contains the following maps and files:1 map called: Cdi containing the following files: Vcd.ap, Avseq01.dat, Vcd.rtf next map: Mpegav contains the file: Avseq01.dat (its about 635MB) the third map: Vcd containg: Entries.vcd and Info.vcd.
This type is USABLE in my DVD-player so I can watch it on myy TV, but when I used TMPG I got a differend type of files!!!!!! My DVD Player whasn't able to recognize the files when I burned them on a cdrom and inserted it in the dvdplayer. Please describe where I did go wrong or maybe U know another type of program which can turn AVi, MPG or DIVX files into the VCD type which I described earlier.
Yours sincerely,

For some reason my posts are not comeing up, I just wrote a big long post about your problem but it was deleted some how, any way here goes again,you problem is that you are just burning the mpeg file to a cd-r, you can not do that, you have to burn it in "vcd or svcd" mode with a burning program that is for burning vcd/svcd"s, download "nero burning rom" at "www.nero.com" it is the best and easiest for burning vcd/svcd"s and is very user friendly,but it will not work unless you burn your mpeg files in vcd/svcd mode....
Minion,
Thanks for your reply at my previous question. Could you please show me how to frame serve from ?virtua dub? to join all AVI file into one during transcode from avi file to MPEG2
Thanks
Go to "www.virtuadub.org" for information on frame serveing from virtuadub,I rarely frame serve, so you would get better advice on this subject at there web site.....
Hi all,
I just upgraded to TMPGEnc Plus Ver.2.55 from version 2.54. Now when I open M2V files it takes about 10 - 15 min to open them for processing. This would not be so bad except that if I attempt to use advanced tools (like clipping) it take another 10 - 15 min to load the M2V into the preview window.
There seems to be something definately wrong cuz they load instantly with no wait on my system,and I don"t have a fast system, have you tried to delete tmpgenc and re-downloading it?
I've had this problem as well. I could find anything common though as some files worked and others didn't. Tried all sorts ie file sizes, resoltions, fps etc. I ended up using ReMpeg to resize the m2v file and then putting it back into Tmpgenc. It worked fine then, its just ReMepg can be slow sometimes.
I have tried removing & reinstalling both TMPGEnc and the plug-in. Increasing the priority of the M2V plug-in. Tried opening several other M2Vs.Witchcraft, exorcism, bribery, begging & pleading, letters to Santa, and rubbing a little butter on it. Nothing helps. Still take 10 - 15 min to open the M2V. I guess I'll just live with it for now.But is anyone can suggest something before I combust....
Sounds like theres something dodgy going on on your system. Have you got more than 1 MPEG2 codec installed. Try deleteing all the MPEG2 codecs on your system and install just one as they can conflict or as a work around create a d2v from your m2v with DVD2AVI and load that.
My Tmpgenc (2.50 And also 2.51) was working fine, then after not using it for a couple of weeks, I'm now getting this error:
"Illegal MPEG system stream".
This happens after reaching 100% complete during an encode to mpeg2 (svcd type, 22mins).
Also, I don't think TMPGEnc is fully completing encode. Usually after a tmpgenc reaches 100%, my harddrive is active while tmpgenc completes the file. But now after reaching 100%, has the "illegal mpeg system stream" error, and there is no further hard drive activity. I tested with two different avi files. The resulting mpeg file created has video that freezes momentarily at a few specific points in the file.
Also, VCDeasy tools, analyze mpeg file describes the created mpeg file as:
MPEG2, PlayingTime=272.038s, Bitrate=2674800bps, PtsOffset=0726s, 39812 packets
Video Stream: Motion Video, 480x480, 29.97003fps (NTSC), 2520kbps
Audio Stream: Audio Standard MPEG layer2 Stereo, 44100Hz, 163840bps
--Warnings:

I've been encoding avi's made from Adobe Premiere to mpeg2's to burn onto DVD for a while now with no problems whatsoever. Then my mpeg2 encoding temp license expired so mpgeg2 DVD compliant files. However, once I loaded and licensed TMPGENC plus it can't read any of my avi files created by Premiere and it gives me the "not supported" error. I have made no other changes to my system. The file will play in Windows Media Player with no problem. I still have the old version of tmpgenc loaded and it can still read the files with no problem either. The strangest thing is any avi files that I captured using Adobe Premiere will load into tmpgenc plus, but any file that I've created and exported using Adobe Premiere will not. Any ideas?
I just downloaded the latest version and it says my AVI file is illegal? or something like that, so in testing I found it will recognize the AVI without audio attached? Maybe the older versions did the audio video automaticaly? Im stumped....Harry
Shawn,
We have tried the suggested remedy of changing the priority for Direct Show in the Options menu but are still unable to convert any of our AVI files created in Premiere 6.0. We have done it several times. Is there something else we can try?
Thanks
Thanks Shawn! I finally got my TMPGEnc working =). I already though that I have to start using bbmpeg 'cause avisynth did not work either. Thanks again =).

Smartripper will split your vob file if it is on a dvd, you can use a program called "vobsplit" to cut your vob files or "dvtool" splits vob files and if you are encoding these split sections of vob to mpeg then you can split the vob file into smaller d2v files with dvd2avi and encode them to mpeg.....
Recently TMPG has stopped letting me encode mp2 files for no reason when i try to open them as the input file i get an error that the file is not supported and it cannot be opened when i could before the only thing i can think has changed on my pc is that i installed the newest version of directX. I am running TMPG 2.5 plus. Anyone know how i can get around this program, do i need to reinstall an older version of DX if so where can i get it from!
Direct x has nothing to do with it! you are opening MPEG2 files and therefore you need MPEG2 codecs. Techno was so nice at this, as he gave FREE AND LEGAL MPEG2 codecs.
This MPEG2 enables us to encode and open MPEG2 files.
I cannot attach created AVI with other AVI part. I also do not get any message after the conversion is completed. I simply go the FILE menu and END it when conversion is finished (I think). I see 100% in progress bar.
Can somebody guide me please, If I am making a mistake somewhere !!!
If the conversion is truely finsihed the stop button should be grayed (not active) if you are encoding a big file it will sit at 100% for a while before completing.
I'm trying to merge m1v video and mp3 audio files, but after the merging, strange audio glitches appear in the sound. And the thing is, these glitches aren't completely random - there seems to be a 'rhythmic' pattern to where they appear. e.g. if there's music in the audio, and there's a drum part included, then the glitches might correspond exactly to where (some of) the kick drum beats are played. They also might appear at the same time as the regular beats of the song.
This happens when you cut or join a file in the middle of a gop,the best way for you to encode your multiple avi files is to frame serve it through "virtualdub" then you wont have to join them ,they will be joined as you encode them and you won"t be able to tell where you joined them if you do it right,You can learn more about it at "www.virtualdub.org"...
Hey, I have a couple Real Media Files that won't open, when I try to open them I get the error message, "Invalid MetaFile" Or "Unsupported Document" I have tried to open them in a whole bunch of different programs, but none of them work. Is there anyway to fix this problem?
Real media is not supported in tmpgenc , you will need to convert the RM file to avi with something like "Trina"(I think thats what it is called)..You can find it on any search engine....
I get the error when i try to open them in RealPlayer, when I try to convert them to AVI it wont work, which is probably related to the errors that I receive.
