when i use the program to convert an avi to an mpeg, and i go through all the steps and finally when it comes to the part where it's encoding the file, an error window keeps popping up, and it says "error" followed by a number "-537403781 705712" and i click okay and it continues decoding, but that error window pops up every few seconds, and that prevents me from leaving the computer and letting it encode on its own. i have to sit here and click okay. does anybody know whats wrong with that? or how i get fix that problem? thanks
Before I start using TMPGEnc, is it possible to convert Mpeg2 SVCD to Mpeg1 VCD.
I've tried several ways suggested by other people but without success.
Converting Mpeg2 to Mpeg1 is easy with Tmpgenc and there are a few ways to do it...First you should De-Multiplex the Mpeg2 file and just encode the Video to mpeg1 then you multiplex the audio from the Mpeg2 with the mpeg1, cuz there is no need to encode the audio cuz it is allready in the correct format and re-encodeing it can only cause problems...You have to have a Mpeg2 codec installed on your machine to load mpeg2 files into Tmpgenc, you need either "Power DVD" or something with the "Ligos" codec with it.or you can use "DVD2AVI to decode the mpeg2 and encode the d2v project file...
I have just recently started using your software and have ripped a DVD using smartripper2.41. Then using DVD2AVI version: 1.77.3 as a framesrver i have converted the ripped .VOB files into audio and video files seperatly.
The audio files work ok on your software but when i try to encode the movie file (the DVD2AVI software made both a .WAV file and .D2V file) your software states it cannot open or it is unsupported.
I have the most up-to-date version of your software, and i followed an online help page as to how i should rip and convert a DVD.
It said i should change the priority of the VFAPI plugin 'DVD2API reader to 0 but that did not work.
Try converting the d2v file with vfapicon, this turns the d2v file into a avi file, i find it quite strange you having probs, i load d2v file into TMPGenc with no problems. i have version 2.57 and 2.56. do a search on google, you should be able to find vfapicon with no probs.
When useing DVD2AVI you can"t move any of the vob files or d2v files from were they were originally ripped to, and can"t be moved or re-named untill after the encodeing is finnished..And Raiseing the Priority might help you get them loaded..But if all else faile then Make a New D2V file with DVD2AVI, it dvd2avi doesn"t work then the vfapi converter won"t work because they both Run under the same principal...
i am trying to put an AVI file onto a video cd. i have tried using virtual dub to extract a wave file, but when i use this my sound and video are out of sync by about 5 seconds. if i use the AVI as the audio source i dont get any sound at all. how do i fix this?
Did you extract the audio from the avi with virtualdub using full processing mode, also do not compress, leave the file as a full pcm audio file, also do NOT convert the audio from 48,000Khz to 44,100Khz with virtualdub or TMPGenc, because they dont use anti alais, which means you will get a bad sound quality. I use soundforge to re sample the audio, and the sound is very sweet indeed.
LOL, do not use the avi file for audio either, make sure you have the correct template, using virualdub, open avi file, go to file information, under file menu. this will tell you the frame rate, amongst other information, usually 23.976 ntsc film, but could also be 29.970 ntsc, or pal 25.000fps. your audio pcm file should be somewhere around the 800 meg mark, possibly over a gig, depending on how long the film is, TMPGenc needs pcm full audio file, NOT a compressed audio file, this could cause all sorts of trouble with sync.
I have a question concerning editting an mpg2 file.
I have been using tmpgenc for about a month. I stream a movie into a ATI AIW7500 as standard VCDs or 480X240 XVCDs. I can edit these and burn them easily.
When I stream in as standard SVCDs and burn, I can view the SVCD. The problem is trying to edit the mp2 file with tmpgenc.
I have searched the BBS looking for info on using TMPG to resize a SVCD to 720*480 so that it will play on a DVD player.
I have noticed that it is stated in a few messages that TMPG can scale before passing the file to CCE for encoding but it does not say how to do this.
Could someone please point me in the right direction on how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance... I use 2.64 at the min but am about to try the 2.66 beta.
First you extract the audio from your File ..Then you load the video into Tmpgenc and then do your settings then go to "file" to "save project" and save a project file ,then you load the project file into "Vfapi Converter" which will make a Psudo AVI file that you can load into CCE to encode..You can either encode the audio with Tmpgenc or load it in seperately into CCE or just use a total different program to encode the audio...and that is it...well this is the short way to explain it...
Hi Guys
I Have done this the right way round (not )
upgraded the computer to a P4 2.5 ghz and installed new version of TMPGEnc on to new puter, when i down load avi files and convert them, i seem to get on the finished mpeg, a pinkish blocky haze left around and movement, usally across a face if picture is dark. But not present if played as a AVI
Question, Has anyone else had this, is it the new puter doing it, is it TMPGEnc doing it or have i just been lucky down loading corupt files,
Any help appriciated, as for settings used all i do is tick it to be a pal vcd output and select relevant input and output folders.
Fragile
You should check and see if you have the "Angel Potion Codec" Installed on your machine, this codec has been known to cause discoloration in mpeg files encoded with Tmpgenc....
The program said me that i dont have msvcr70.dll, when i tried to edit a "*.vdr.avi" archive. Where can i found it?
and...... when i use the avi file in the video source and the wav file in the audio source (extract with virtual dub), in the mpeg archive, the sound go 8 seconds later then the video. What can i do?
i have encoded a film to svcd which as come out great sound and picture are fine but when i go split the file into 2 parts there seems to be about 5 secs of audio missing from then end of the frist half of the film ??. And i was just wondering if somebody knew why this was happening
TMPGenc has trouble cutting Mpeg2 files, its something about TMPGenc unable to correctly cut the audio and video in the same place, i had the same problem, if you go to the TMPGenc home page, you will see some info regarding this problem, as they seem to be unable to address it, try to encode the movie in 2 parts, using batch convert if you like, i just do one half, then set up the second half with the same bitrate as the 1st half, as so you dont get one half looking better than the other, all depends if you cut the file at exactly 50%, sometimes its not a good idea if its bang in the middle of a busy scene, or someone is talking in that particular part of the film.
thats what i have been doing batch encoding but then another problem developed where it would bomb out with some error but if i did it 1 part at a time it would be ok its abit time comsuming as i wanted to set it off b4 i went to bed as not to tie up the pc too much i havce tried vcd cutter but it just locks up
VCD Cutter only works with MPEG1 Files...There are lots of good Mpeg editors ,i sometimes use the Mpeg editor in "Power VCR" and it works Quite Good, or there is M2-Edit Pro, or DVD Cutter, or Mpeg2VCR, which is a Fairly Cheap one ,you can download a Bunch of different editors at :http:/www.apachez.net/ in the tools section....
