Hi, I have source files that are created from a MiniDV camera, I've captured these via firewire into Videowave and they are in PAL 16:9 widescreen ratio.
When I try to use TMPGenc to convert the AVI files to Mpeg 2 the aspect ratio setting on the expert video setting is greyed out and displays 4:3 display, whay can I not select 16:9, does the program not support it, I want to keep these videos in widescreen.
I have miscalculated the file size of my one hour DV file, edited in Premiere 6.
My plan is to produce a 2 disc VCD format with a relatively high bit rate and quality. The result is a 1.580gig Mpeg file which i doubt will fit in 2 cds.
To solve my problem i plan to delete a portion of my mpeg file to make the file smaller,and then split the file to make two CD's.
My questions are:
1. If i delete a clip or portion of the file will that affect the quality of my video? considering that Mpeg is using the GOP structure, IBP etc... and editing an Mpeg file is a big no..no..
2. It took me a day and a half to encode this Mpeg file (would you beleive?) will it take the same time when i do the cut and merge?
3. Is there any chance this 1.580gig file fit in a two CD's.
4. I havent done cut and merge before ony read it, any expert tips on this in relation to my situation?
You should just barely be able to fit it onto 2 80-min cd-r"s, that woulds be 790mb per cd-r and you should be able to get 795-802mb on a 80min cd-r, your problem will be acurately cutting it so each part is exactly 790mb, cuz with Tmpgenc it cut"s useing a time scale instead of by the size it megabytes,If you use Tmpgenc to de-multiplex the file then used "BBmpeg" to multiplex it then with BBMpeg you can set it to cut the file exactly to 790mb while multiplexing so after multiplexing you will have 2 files cut exactly were you want, and it shouldn"t take more than 10-20minutes to do this depending on your system, and editing should not effect quality.....
I have a old mjpeg AVI file which is captured by using Marrox Rainbow Runner. When I try to convert it to mpeg1 by Tmpg, the video is unseeable. I am using Windows XP with Morgan M-Jpeg codec v3.0.0.9. (Rainbow Runner is not supported by Win XP)
You probably need to raise one of the file readers in the "Vfapi Plugins" probably either the "avi-VFW file reader" or the "OpenDML file reader" if you raise one then Lower the others..The vfapi pluging can be found by going to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi plugins"
Im new to TMPGnc, and tried to convert a Divx-file to a mpg-file. The result was good picture, no sound and a movie almost tree times longer than the original. Afther the movie ended, there was several hours with just black screen beeing added. The result was a file over 3GB large. I used the cut and merge-tool to cut off the blacknes, and the file was down to 1 GB.
But why does this happend, and why doesent I have any sound? The original Divx-file was OK with both sound and video.
The reason that there is no sound is because Divx files usually have an unsupported audio format, you need to extract the audio track to a wav file with "Virtual Dub" then use that as your audio source....and the 2 hours of black frames is probably just some glitch in reading the file, it happens sometimes.......
When im creating a mpeg-file (VCD) from a divx file, the sound starts about 10 sec. later than the picture.
How can i get pictura and sound synchronized.
Furher when im greating a VCD file from a divx file and the conversation starts in the middle of the divx file (70min in), i somtimes don't get any sound att all.
This is pretty wierd that the audio is so far out,are you useing "Media Player" to view your files??Media player in combination with certain codec can cause your mpeg files to play out of sync...but if it is out of sync that bad then you can try to sync it up with the "multiplexor" that comes with "mpeg2vcr" it allows you to adjust the audio and video gap while multiplexing.....
I´ve just reinstalled TMPGENC and was trying to do a VCD.
Now the problems started. Before there was no problem but now as soon as I try to open up a *.vdr file it says that the file is not supported.
What is wrong with this program.
Plz help and fast
sry..
forgot to tell that I have done that thing in VFAPI and tried to increase priority and all that but it still doesn´t work.
It seems to me that I have done all things that I can find on this forum but I still can´t solve the problem.
Have you installed the frameserver client first.
To check you have correctly installed the frameserver client create a vdr file then open another instance of Virtualdub and load the .vdr file. if it loads ok the client is installed, if not you haven't installed the client correctly.
Now here is one more problem.
Installed the handler for .vdr and virtualdub doens´t seem to want its own filetype....
TMPGENC still says that the file is unsupported.
Installed the subtitler filter and avihandler and also that regsomething something.
Plz help!!!!
If Virtualdub isn't opening the .vdr files then you haven't installed the frameserver client correctly.
Uninstall the frame server client and the reg entries by clicking the auxsetup.exe file. Double click the proxy off file (you shouldn't need this) as it could cause problems with other software.
Restart your system and re-install the frameserver client.Restart.
Create another .vdr and name it differently to any others you have created before. Try opening in virtualdub.
sorry, if i turn out to be blind, but most settings are impossible to change. i would like to reduce bitrate in audio or increase bitrate in video, as several sites recommend, but the dropdown menues are disabled. can someone please tell me what has to be selected/changed to enable them?
Hello.
I use TMPGEN 2.57 on notebook Sony RD500DS with WINDOWS XP and the output file has onle sound and no video.
If I rise priority for directshow in OPTIONS then TMPGEN says that it can not open my AVI file.
Microsoft says that directshow preinstalled on WINDOWS XP.
Any suggestions?
Best regards.

It could be that the avi is not a direct show format, it could be a "video for windows" format, do you know what codec was use to encode the avi file??Try raiseing the "VFW file reader and lower everything else the load in the file and click encode and see if your movie comes up in the screen and encodes a picture and if it doesn"t try raiseing the "Open DML file reader" and lower everything else and see if that works ect...
To Minion.
Thank you.
I make my AVI files on my desk comp in Premier 6 @ Pinacle DV500+. I can convert these files with TMPEGENC on my desk comp under Windows 2000 and it produces both video and music but very often TMPGENC says that there is a mistake in some memory location and stop working. So I tried do use TMPGENC on notebook with Windows XP. TMPGENC works wihtout mistake message but output file has only sound but not video.
Any other suggestins.
Best regards.
Sergey.
What I wrote in the other post is the only solution I know of that would fix your problem,unless you don"t have the proper codec to decode the file ....
I personally prefer CQ... I use Max. 4000, min. 1800 and CQ 65 for SVCD.
Quality is the same or better than with 2 pass but without losing the time of a second pass.
Whenever I open an mpeg1 file (as a source for conversion), TMPGenc closes without warning on me. It never used to do that... any ideas?
It does it with every mpeg1 file I try, but it opens avi's just fine (no matter what codec it uses).
Well, I figured out the solution to my own problem. It turns out that the program crashing was due to an ACDSee 4.0 plug-in. More specifically, it was either the PicaView or ImageFox plug-in. I had a weird hunch it might have been one of those two things, so after posting my last message, I went to modify my ACDSee 4.0 package, and got rid of both of them. Right afterwards, I went straight to TMPGenc and the files opened just fine.
Anyone else have ACDSee 4.0 installed? If so, do you have ImageFox and/or PicaView enabled?
i have two mpegs and want to merge them. So i start tmpgenc and click MPRG-Tools (merge & cut).
Add both mpegs select from beginning to the end of every part und "run". Everything seems ok, but only first part is outputted, so the two parts arent togetter finally.
