Hi
Ive made a few movies and all worked out great but then now they havnt been.
im pretty sure i used mpeg tools to join some more bits on the end.(1 more little mpg), well the original file was avi so i convert it into mpeg with tmpgenc. after that i joined it by using the tools under the file menu. after burning it unto a disk, it plays well on my computer, but when i played it on my dvd, the person isn't speaking at the right time, as if the audio is a little bit too fast for the video,and sometimes the video goes really fast for a second or so, but then sometimes it comes together again and then BOOM it's back to you know.... what is wrong??? ... can anyone help me. can someone help me please.
I have found this is actually a problem with certain dvd players reacting to buffer under and over flows, one thing that seems to help is to turn the VBV buffer down to like 40-60, and burn your vcd"s on the slowest speed you can, my 24 time cd-rw will only let be burn at 8 times so I"ve been useing slow burning disks and burning at 4 times and the problem has dissapeared...
Thx for all the help...
but im pretty sure its got nothing to do with my dvd player because all my other vcds' and svcd's that ive made have worked great....im now pretty sure its because of tmpgenc's cut and join tools.......If someone good still help with my problem thx...it was in ntsc film format and the other that didnt work was pal...
After rebuilding the index of a Divx file with DivxFix, TMPGEnc often don't see the video. When I try to preview it using Source Range, the preview is just a black screen. Does DivxFix create an incompatible index that is unreadable by TMPGEnc?
Can we have in future versions a size output display as the film is encoding.
As i hate having to do 1 min runs just to see the size of the file.
IE: 1min = 22mg x by 80mins = 1760mb Estimate.
This is the one feature that would make encodeing a much better experience,I sometimes have to encode a movie 5 times cuz the file edns up either to big or to small, Cinema Craft has this feature and have come to rely on it when useing that program.....
I try to convert the trailer of startrek nemesis from MOV to Video-CD to look at it on my TV. With tMPEGenc : to produced file has no sound !
(you can try getting the file at http://www.startrek.com/
I will try to extract the sound from the MOV file and to mix them,
I downloaded TMPGEnc Plus for a 30 day trial...I tried using it to produce Mpeg2 files for DVD authoring with DVD-IT PE......I am able to tweak the TMPGEnc parameters to produce Mpeg-2 files of magnificent quality, better than any other encoder I've tried, but when I try to use these files in DVD-IT PE, I get an error message that the files don't have one Sequence Header per GOP.....Now, I know that they do, because I've been through all the settings and have set the GOP parameters accordingly, but still get this error message....I am encoding in PAL, so the total GOP limit is 15 frames....with 1 Sequence Header every GOP....
can anyone tell me what is going on...is this happening because its just an evaluation version....? I am convinced that Tsunami is unbeatable so really want to use it, but can't until I find out what I'm doing wrong...
If you are loading your file as a program stream then don't. Most DVD authoring systems prefer separate Video and audio streams, so demultiplex your MPEG to a separate Video and Audio stream.
If you read the post properly it already states that the GOP length is 15 and that he has added a sequence header.
The actual GOP structure you quote is irrelevant.
I had a similar GOP (Group Of Picture) problem in My DVD (a watered down versin of DVD-IT). The simple way of fixing the problem was to load the file to be encoded using the DVD template; this method doesn't always work,however, and is, I suspect, version dependent.
Tmpg which worked great for me for a long time now locks up and freezes durng conversion.I have deleted and reinstalled it many times with no help.This happens on all movies that I try and convert. It happens at different times even on the same movie.It locks my computer up hard.No other problems with any other programs I run.

Any advice?
And thanks in advance.

The same thing just started happening to me. I've been doing standard SVCD settings with a bitrate of 1900 for months without problem. Now (after installing v2.54) I'm getting hard lockups during encoding. I may try to drop back to a previous version of TMPGEnc.

i downloaded a movie that is like an hour long and it's also split into 11 parts. well the original files are asx (i think) so i convert it into mpeg with tmpgenc. after that i joined it by using the tools under the file menu. after burning it unto a disk, it plays well on my computer, but when i played it on my dvd, the person isn't speaking at the right time, as if the audio is a little bit too fast for the video, but then sometimes it comes together again and then BOOM it's back to you know.... what is wrong??? i thought that it could be the cd brand that i'm using, but i guess it isn't... can anyone help me. i just don't understand how it would play perfect on the computer and all messed up in my dvd player...
That can happen if you encoded to a frame rate different than your avi files frame rate,and useing the merge and cut to join many files there can be an audio de-sync problems,files allways play better and smoother on a computer cuz the computer sort of compinsates for any flaws in the movie where a dvd player is VERY sensitive with what it will read, what I would advise is to use a different joining and editing program cause the mpeg tools just cause problems.......
Ok, so your sure it DOES play fine on your PC. If this is the case then it's not the encoding method, but the burning method and is usually down to the burning software.
What are you using to burn the movie? If you are using Nero then I would advise you to upgrade to the latest version as there is a bug in earlier versions which causes this in some players.
If that doesn't cure it try another software such as VCDeasy or one that has been known to correct this problem is Instant CD/DVD.
Also don't burn your disk any higher than 4x or it can and usually does cause problems in many hardware DVD players.
One other note on the files you downloaded, those files where obviously split purposely so they could be downloaded easier. You should have then used the original program to join the files back together. Where they winrar files with extensions such as .rar .01 .02 ? If not you should have used a proper file joining problem to re-combine them back together as joining so many MPEG files like you did is not advisable and can cause problems.

Hello, I am having a problem when i convert an avi or mpg to avi.. if i got an avi and i want to make changes to it, and i edit it and i want to save it in avi format, i have selected the divx low-motion codec... and i use regular sound..and when i get the output avi file.. it has green little splotches like when you mix up codecs if you have AngelPotion (i have had the same problem, but it was pink then).. but now it is green when i convert to avi.. can someone please answer my question? I really want to get back to converting my movies.. Thanks :)
If you are makeing avi files out of avi files or avi files out of mpeg files then try useing "virtualdub" that is what it is designed for, and if you want to make an avi out of an mpeg then I use dvd2avi cuz it is really fast like allmost real time on my slow machine.....
The Divx codec you are using is now oudated. Use a later improved codec such as 4.12 or Divx 5. You will get better results than using the older Divx low and fast motion codecs and increase your bitrate.
The other thing is why are you saving it again as AVI at all. This is unecessary and will decrease the quality of the movie. You should be using Virtualdub to edit the file and then frameserve that file to TMPG rather than creating another AVI which is not only preserving the quality of the original AVI, but will also speed things up as you are not creating another unecessary AVI.
Go to www.vcdhelp.com for info how to frameserve from Virtualdub to TMPG.
There are lots of them , one is "mpeg2vcr" and "m2-edit pro" and power vcr edits mpeg"s and joines them..there are literally dozzens of them, but if you are just doing mpeg1/vcd then you can use vcd cutter it is freeware......
Enabling the padding option in the 2xpass VBR bitrate window causes packet errors when trying to multiplex with bbmpeg. It claims that there is no user data and halts without finishing the segment's scan data or the rest of the multiplex. These streams also cause other multiplexors to halt and packet error problems with VCD-Easy/Imager. In fact, the only fix I have found (without re-encoding without the padding option) is the mpeg->mpeg fix option with VCDGear.
I have since stopped using this padding option and the errors have ceased. There are quite a few others who have experienced the same problems per the doom9 boards.
I agree with minion adding the padding seems pointless to me. Do you really need to add it. Is your DVD player that critical when it comes to playing DVD's.
Also the reason why that bag of shite called VCDgear fixed your file is because it removed the padding from the MPEG file.
If you need to remove padding from any more movies I suggest you not use VCDgear and just load the file into the MPEGtools multiplexer. You will see the padding stream there and it will allow you to remove it.
I was just noting the bug report because a lot of people are getting this error, including myself, and I just recently figured out what was causing all the problems.......
BTW, do you have a link for that MPEGtools multiplexer please?
Because www.bdpoweramp.com website is not working...
i need some similar program...
my problem is no audio...u knok..its M-3kind that tmpgenc cannot detect..
plez~~ help me.....
I need to know how could I add a logo on the movie? I know that Virtual Dub can add the logo to the movie files but at the end, it is avi. file that I need to convert back to mpg from tmpge software and this will reduce the quality. Could anyone tell me if there is a way to add a logo in tmpge software or other method? Is adobe premier can? The main reason is to burn my own movie to my Video CD. So definitely I need CBR 1150 mbps.
really desperate..
Very very beg that one day tmpge have a ADD LOGO feature....I will prey
