Question - TE25 - Cannot read AVI file created by Studio7? No.23688
kiwoon  2002-06-21 18:59:13 ( ID:2vv9c5bkdvn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I captured and edited my AVI file using Studio7 and TMPGenc cannot read this AVI file.

Should I use different format when I render in Studio7?
There are quite a few options to make AVI movie in Studio7.

Which codec should I use to make movie in Studio7?

Thanks in advance.

The "pinnacle dv codec" is not supported in tmpgenc, the formats that are currently supported and "direct show" formats "video for windows"formats and "open DML" formats, which covers most codecs accept usually specialty codecs made for certain capture and editing softwares like "studio 7 dv" try any other codec accept those that are "pinnacle" like "Indio" or "microsoft mpeg4" or pretty much any other ones......


Studio user  2002-06-21 21:58:45 ( ID:th5jgoq84y. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I use Captured (and edit)studio 7 AVI without "any" problem.

So I don't understand the line:

The "pinnacle dv codec" is not supported in tmpgenc

The setting I use in ST7
DV Video encoder
720*576 25

I have seen a post about tmpgenc about the option>enivironmental setting>VFAPI plug in> setting priority.

My setting AVI2 (open dml) file reader = 0
AVI VFW compatibility Reader = -2

It's a shame that ST7 makes such bad MGPEG2 files ,otherwise we would't have to use TMPGenc.

The line "pinnacle dv codec is not supported in tmpgenc" means exactly that, you can not encode "pinnacle dv" avi files to mpeg in tmpgenc..Tmpgenc can not decode the pinnacle studio 7 format so that is why tmpgenc will not read your avi files, so use a different codec to render your avi files, one that is not pinnacle studio 7.......


Studio user  2002-06-23 12:09:09 ( ID:th5jgoq84y. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It works ok here........ with the sudio 7 avi


Minion  2002-06-23 21:54:06 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have never been able to get it to work but it could be a fix in the new version....


a1sy  2002-06-30 23:54:28 ( ID:fmpl.kohmzn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The other opinion :
Sudio Dv7 works fine for me . I have NTSC and doing capture and editing with Studio7. Then I'm doing encoding with TMPGenc-works fine.

Hi, I need your help.
When I open a file in TMPGEnc program (Ver.2.54), the error message was shown. But the error doesn't affect following work. I still can convert avi to mpg. But I like to know what is the error? Anybody can help me on this? Thanks,



Question - TE25 - TMPGEnc => Pinnacle Impressions (Help!) No.23684
HBillyRufus  2002-06-21 15:57:01 ( ID:pzxmm6k1pea )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Need some advice on getting Pinnacle Impressions to work with files created out of TMPGEnc.

I just installed Pinnacle Impressions on my new 1.8 Ghz P4 Windows XP computer, but it won't accept any of the files created from TMPGEnc. I have successfully created NTSC 720x480 29.97-fps AVI files from captured video using VirtualDub, created AC3 files using SoftEncode, and created various MPEG files using TMPGEnc (video & audio, video only, CBR, VBR), and all of these files are played just fine by my software players, but Pinnacle Impressions either won't open them at all, or it opens them and says they have a length of zero and won't do anything with them.

I tried changing the file extensions because Impressions says it accepts MPEG-2 video files with .MPV and .MP2 extensions, and TMPGEnc creates its video files with .MPG or .M2V, and audio-only as .MP2. But none of this has made any difference.

The only file I can get Impressions to work with is a .WAV file. So far, I am not impressed (arg-arg-arg).


Hataian  2002-06-22 18:29:27 ( ID:pq/ugw.8krm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Do you import audio and video as a program stream(multiplexed)
or each one seperately?Try doing it the other way.
Check again the parameters you used encoding for them and compare
them to what the help file of Pinnacle Impressions says.


Hataian  2002-06-22 18:31:23 ( ID:pq/ugw.8krm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I heard somewhere that the MP2-sound-format is only supported by PAL
but not by NTSC DVDs.Maybe that is the reason for your error.
If you want to create an NTSC DVD,I think you can only use WAV instead of
MP2.

Question - TE25 - tmpgenc audio bug? No.23676
marco  2002-06-21 13:23:55 ( ID:v0fendhchoo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Dear tmpgenc users,
I've got a weird problem with tmpgenc; with some avi files after 2.03 minutes the audio stops... and goes on after approx. 25 minutes exactly where it stopped (a 'lag' of 23 minutes). Obviously the encoded MPEG does have the same problem.
I noticed that Tmpgenc does not recognise the audio in the not-yet-encoded source-AVI file while it is certainly there according to other avi players. (You can see this before encoding in the audio bar of the advanced/source range setting.)
So, it has nothing to do with the encoding process, it has something to do with loading/reading the source avi file by tmpgenc!
Sometimes it does recognise the complete audiostream, but most of the time it won't.

Does anybody recognise this? What am I doing wrong?
Is it maybe Windows XP setting or buffer or other programs which have been installed (ulead mediastudio 6 has been installed for a while) or the used picvideo codec?

Best regards,
Marco

PS also other Tmpgenc versions (also 12) have this problem on my PC




marco  2002-06-21 13:34:32 ( ID:v0fendhchoo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Maybe also worth to mention:
All avi's have been cut to smaller sizes with virtualdub direct stream copy.
The size is then not recognised correctly by tmpgenc (the size of the original avi is given), the correct size of the cutted avi file is recognised only after using the source range setting start frame/end frame.

Maybe it has something to do with the virtualdub cutting tool?


Minion  2002-06-22 04:16:41 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It seems that "virtua dub" is not writeing the header information to your edited avi files but it seems that you have found a way around that problem by useing the source range .As to your audio problems I think the reason that your audio is not showing up is because virtua dub hasn"t writen the header information for the audio track in your avi file either, the way to get around that is to extract the audio from your avi files to seperate wav files and load them in for the audio source this should fix your problem and it might give you better audio quality to....


marco  2002-06-22 11:03:41 ( ID:ga5u0bnxddk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks minion, I think you are right, maybe other avi players/editors are less critical to the avi header information written by virtualdub than tmpgenc.
Also these 'other' avi editors (such as ulead) are certainly less critical regarding the produced quality, for that tmpgenc really "rules big time"



Question - TE25 - avi to svcd poor quality and no sound No.23673
wolfgang  2002-06-21 12:43:04 ( ID:qyhcu5nlurf )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello,
I use studio7 from pinnacle for videoediting and creating a avi-file. when I convert this avi-file to a vcd-format then the video and audio-quality is good. When I convert the avi-file to a svcd-format then the video-quality is poor (more bad than vcd) and the audio is missing. What could be the reason and what can I do?

Thank you


Minion  2002-06-21 20:07:14 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I don"t know if this is your problem but when encodeing to svcd as opposed to vcd the bitrate you have to use is at least double that you would use for vcd this is because svcd has a higher resolution so therefore you have to use a much higher bitrate to achive simular quality, as for your audio problem I don"t know why it worked with the vcd and not the svcd but you should extract the audio from your avi file to a wav file with "virtuadub" and encode that as your audio source and it should work.......


wolfgang  2002-06-22 18:14:44 ( ID:qyhcu5nlurf )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

hello,
I use the standart values, which are given when you select vcd or svcd. And at this standart values the svcd-bitrate is higher than the vcd-bitrate.

thank you



Question - TE25 - again batch encoding No.23670
peerke02  2002-06-21 12:07:00 ( ID:vcdqpzgy8ej )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi all,

I'm using tmpgenc on trail to convert the avi's from my DV-cam to DVD-quality mpg's. That's all working magnificent, but I still have one small question about it.
One tape generates about 40 to 60 avi's, which I then manually have to add to the batch list to encode in tmpgenc. To generate a batch-list, I spend about half an hour to feed the avi's to the list, allways with the same settings (DVD-PAL, noise filter on high quality).
Is there a way to select all the files you want to convert at once, one time give in the settings how to convert, an click on "run at once"?
I've found a add-on program which generates such a list, but that converts in VCD, not DVD. I've mailed the autor, but got no reply. And I don't know any programmers who could make such a tool for me.
Anyone?

Question - TE25 - How to load sequential avi stream for encoding No.23663
SVCDFan  2002-06-21 08:53:30 ( ID:4tqj77zttbh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi all.

As I know TMPGEnc allows to encode from a sequential number of avi streams to one mpeg stream. I got a advice to rename the input avi stream as follows to enable loading sequential avi files:

file00.avi
file01.avi
file02.avi..

But looks like this is not working as was suggested. Which way is the correct way?

Thanks in advance.

SVCDFan.


Minion  2002-06-21 09:12:57 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Who ever gave you that advice didn"t give you good advice , you can not do sequential avi file in tmpgenc you have to frame serve them from "virtua dub" that method that you were trying only works with image files like "bmp,jpeg" the next version is supposed to have that feature, to find out to encode sequential avi files through frame serving with virtual dub go to "www.virtuldub.com" and download the program and then read as much as you can on the subject and there is information available at "www.vcdhelp.com" that wiil assist you in setting up your frame server.....


SVCDFan  2002-06-21 09:26:43 ( ID:4tqj77zttbh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi Minion

thanks for quick response.

I know virtualdub and avisynth as well.

Curiously I am waiting for the next version...

SVCDFan.


SVCDFan  2002-06-21 09:54:24 ( ID:4tqj77zttbh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Addendum:

What about "Canopus DV Codec" --> reading referred format AVI thorough network?

This allows using sequential avi streams as well?


ASHY  2002-06-21 20:36:22 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

TMPG will only allow sequential files to be opened which have been created using the Canopus DV codec not ordinary AVI files. The only way to do that is frameserving from Virtualdub.

Question - TE25 - Newbie ? on converting AVI to MPEG-1 No.23661
MonkeyMynd  2002-06-21 05:56:27 ( ID:r8n57cun4yr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi All,
I've been trying to work out how to use this program. My first conversion went perfectly. The only option I changed was the 'Video Arrange Method' on the 'Advanced' page to 'Full Screen (Keep Aspect Ratio). Ran it, checked the mpeg produced (on my machine) and all was well. Unfortunately, the next 2 will not work. I get audio, but no video...just a black screen. Here is the info on all three files w/ the good file coming first. Can anyone tell me what I should be setting to get the correct conversions?

Properties...Summary settings : Again only file #2 will convert w/ video!

Audio Same for each file Audio Format:MP3,Avg. Data Rate:7.00 Kb/Sec, Sample Rate:24.00 kHz, Channels:2(Stereo)

Video Frame Width 352 for all, Frame Height #1(240) & #2&3(288), Frame Rate #1(14.985fps), #2&3(12.5fps), Video Sample Size all 24bit and Video Compression(MS-MPEG4 V3), other settings all vary, but should like Frame Count, Data Rate, etc.

TMPGEnc loads the files as #1(4:3 525 line NTSC, 704x480), #2(4:3 625 line PAL, 704x576) & #3(4:3 625 line PAL, 704x576)

Output format is Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)

Any suggestions what I might be doing wrong here? I'd appreciate the help as well as a fairly good answer so I can learn about this stuff.

Thanks,
MonkeyMynd

First you have to make sure you have the apropriate codecs installed on your machine to decode your avi files, and raising your "direct show" plugin"s priority to "2" might work to, to do this go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi plugins" then right click on the "direct show" plugin and raise the priority to "2"usually if you can see you movie in the encodeing screen the it should be there after encodeing....but I did notice that the settings you are useing for you avi files will give you choppy playback and possible de-sync of audio and video in your dvd player,I will explain,for file #1, the 352 by 240, 14.985fps, that is a "ntsc" file that has to be encoded to "29.97fps" and 352 by 240, your settings are correct for that one but the other ones #2 & #3 the 352 by 288 and 12.5fps, those are "pal" files and have to be encoded to pal resolutions and frame rates, so they need to be encoded to 352 by 288 and 25fps, for those files use the "pal" vcd template, or you will get choppy playback in your dvd player and possible de-sync, you can make those pal files into ntsc files but it is a little complicated and probably shouldn"t try unless you have some experience and even more patience....there is a lot of info on this subject and more at "www.vcdhelp.com"....good luck.......



Question - TE25 - Pinnacle Studio 7 to SVCD or VCD No.23659
Blackmur  2002-06-21 01:29:35 ( ID:kplnb26mylg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I acidentaly made this a Request instead of a question the first time I posted. Sorry...
I'm very new to video edditing so please bare with me: I curnatly use Studio V 7 to edit my digital camcorder tapes, what is the best way to get these edits onto a VCD or SVCD? I tried to use TMPGEnc but I guess I did things wrong because they wont play in DVD players (any). Do I need special software for my CD recorder? Also what file extensions do VCDs and SVCD have? .MPEG? Sorry if my question seem stupid but I need your help. Please list step by step instructions if you guys can.
Thanks again for any help!



Minion  2002-06-21 01:52:10 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Your problem I think is that you need to burn your "mpeg" file to cd-r in vcd/svcd mode with a program that is for burning vcd/svcd"s, you just cant burn it to a cd-r and put it in your dvd player and expect it to play cuz it won"t, you need a program like "Nero Burning Rom". You can download a 30 day fully functioning trial from "www.nero.com" and you have to burn your mpeg1 files as vcd and mpeg2 files as svcd,"Nero" is a very user friendly program so you should not have a problem once you download it, and yes vcd/svcd files encoded with "tmpgenc" have a "mpeg" extention.Plus you have to make sure that your dvd player supports vcd"s or svcd"s cuz not all player do...
