Hi, I have converted a DVD to MPEG1 files. Here are the properties of my MPEG1:
Size - 352x288
bitrate - 1150000bits/sec
framerate - 25.00 frames/sec (or 29.97, an alternative I've created)
Using TMPGEnc 2.57.41 to encode to VCD, the VCD cannot be read or sometimes cannot be read nicely and the image displayed are distorted all over, cannot be view at all. My MPEG1 files are working though.
Can someone help me to solve this problem so I can have my VCDs? Thank you.
If the Mpeg files play fine on your Computer then the problem is not with Tmpgenc, but Probably like Lupy said The way you are burning them, or your Player...I would like to Know how you "Created" a 25 FPS and a 29.9 FPS File from the Same DVD??
Hi there, i am a newbie using this software ... was converting a avi to mpeg file and when complete ..how come the size of the film (was a 702mb size film balloon to 1.02mb) can anyone help me with it and i am looking for the user manual to understand the function but can't find it .. pls help
i was converting an asf file to an mpeg-2 file. everything went smoothly until it froze and stopped. message appeared was "Index of same line is out of range (240)." is there a way to fix this?
I think the header in the ASF file is corrupted, this is very common with ASF and WMV files, what might work is to download "ASF tools" and use the Repair feature to correct the problem with the ASF file...
I use hauppauge wintv to generate a mpeg2 file, now I want to put on VCD. When I use the wizard I get no errors, but there is no sound to the output file. (the video looks great) can any one tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
james
Tmpgenc does not like to encode Compressed audio formats but you don"t need to encode the audio anyway cuz it ia allready in the Correct format for VCD, so you go to the "Mpeg Tools" to "Simple De-multiplex" and load your mpeg file in and run it, it will make a "M2v" video file and a "Mpa" audio file, you encode just the video the mpeg1, then after go back to the "Mpeg tools" to "Simple Multiplex" and load the Video and audio from the Mpeg2 file, then it will join the audio and video into a Mpeg1 vcd file.....
Sorry, but I don't even know how to look for this.
I am using vdub to cut both audio and video, tmpgenc to encode, vcdeasy to burn. In most cases, all goes without a hitch until I watch in my standalone dvd Sony dvd player. I have vcds that I made before with older versions of tmpgenc and vdub burning with ezcd that play great, with NO problems what so ever. The vcds that I am creating now with the newer versions and vcdeasy are giving me the flux. The first half of the movie plays great. The 2nd half is glitchy, freezes and starts again or just plain freezes. Why does this happen and is there anything I can do to make this not happen. Also, I have a version of tmpgenc 12a..will there be conflicts using the vdub 1.4 and vcdeasy with it?
Thanks again for the help
Well getting a faster Computer is about the only way to speed things up, you can put the "Motion Search Precition " on "Very Fast but you will loose Quality..You must have a pretty Slow CPU if it takes 40 hours, even My old 800mhz only took about 10 hours to do a 2 hour movie on High Quality...
If make sure your input source ratio is set at 16:9 and the output ratio is set at 4:3 then the borders will be added automatically to create the 4:3 display.
As for your PC taking 40 hours, you either have an old dinosaur of a PC or your settings are wrong. I used to have a P3 500 which would take about 10-12 hours to encode a movie. I now have a P4 1.7 O/C at 1.9 and it takes about 2-3 hours for TMPG to encode a movie.
I am having problems with the "unknown or unsupported" error message when trying to convert wmv (asf) to mpeg. I have two identical machines, one at work and the other at home. Only difference is the one at work has windows media player 9 installed. I can not get this to work... I have uninstalled it and reinstalled codecs all day. Any ideas or is this a bug?
You Might need to Use "ASF Tools" to Correct the Any Errors in the WMV file...
Pluss WMV file aren"t Fully Supported in Tmpgenc, It usually works if the file is in Perfect Condition but WMV file are Notorius for Being Full of errors...You might need to raise the direct show filter...
NO... Not at all, I have tried and it slows you WAY down, and causes errors..I"m sure you Noticed that when Running Tmpgenc The CPU runs between 80%-100%..and doing it twice Puts a lot of strain on your Cpu...And it can cause Floating Point errors.....
What? Are you saying, that 2 running programs using Floating Point instructions simultaneously (but not really simultaneously, they are taking turns over cpu, don't they ?) can make CPU cause Floating Point errors ? Are you sure ?
I don't think minion is actually referring to the PC making errors, but rather TMPG itself.
TMPG has a bad habbit of popping up all sorts of errors if it finds it can't access a file when it tries such as the floating point error.
If there are two instances running and one of them finds it can't access a particular file because of the other one taking up CPU time then TMPG will treat that as a corrupt file and throw up an error.
This doesn't just happen when running two instances of TMPG. Encoding is a CPU intensive process and running any sort of other program while trying to encode has been known to create these kind of errors and is more likely to happen on PC's with optimizations enabled such as MMX and SSE as these sort of optimiztions use pipelining which I believe can lead to data becoming corrupt if the PC isn't running stable because it's being 'pushed' too it's limit.
So then I shouldnt burn cd's or use VCDEasy at the same time. I use TMPG at work on my fast computer, but other programs run in the back ground. Would more memory help avoid errros?
More memory should make a difference, but remember it all depends on the program running in the backgroud. If this program takes up a lot of CPU time and is also a memory hog there's gonna be a lot of data swapping going on and virtual memory use.
It's impractical to run CPU intensive software while running other similar programs. It will only lead to problems. Burning a disk while encoding shouldn't really present a problem as it's not CPU or memory intensive and as long as it lets TMPG get on with it's job you will probably get away with it. But in my experience trying to do too much at once with a PC WILL lead to problems.
PC's are meant to be mutiltasking macines, but within reason. Pushing the PC too much and expect it to run stable is a lot to ask especially on weaker Operating sytems such as ME/98.
Wonder if you can help me, I am using TMPGenc Version 2.57 in conjunction with DVDx v2, but when I open TMPG and browse for the .avs file created by DVDx i get the following messsage:-
*.avs can not be opened or is unsupported.
I am running under Windows XP Prof, any help whould be appreciated.
