I am not able to encode in mpeg-2.Have tried many different encoders (Tmpgenc,bbmpeg,etc...)and always end up with black video. Can anyone help me please.
Some more information would be helpfull..Like what format is the source file??and what is the audio format of the source file ECT....you just might need to raise the "Direct show file reader"..go to "OPtions" to "enviromental settings" to "vfapi plugins" and raise the "direct show" to "2"...
During an encode session from avi to mpeg-1 I get after 30% a few error messages. Does anyone know what it means?
Error 1: Write error occured at address 0048714A of module "TMPGEnc.exe' with 00225000
Error 2: Runtime error 216 at 0000215C
Error 3: The instruction at "0x77f52216" referenced memory at "0xfffffff8". The memory couls not be "read" Click on OK to terminate the program.
I tried to do frame serving with virtualdub & TMPGEnc. First I have the problem
with by loading the *.vdr files. The respond is "xx.avi cannot open or unsupported." Then, i rename the files from xx.vdr to xx.avi. It is still the same.
After I read some answer from here. I also change the priorty to 2 for AVI VFW capability reader.
It is still not working.
I also installed the avisynth and move the avisynth.dll to windows/system32/.
You can encode VOB files to mpeg1/2 but you Have to frame serve them with DVD2AVI, it is an easy process..I don"t know of any Mpeg encoder than can properly encode a VOB file from a Retail DVD..There are usually so many different audio tracks and subtitle and even other video tracks in a VoB file and it is Difficuly for an encoder to Seperate all these streams and put them into different formats...
Not sure what exactly went wrong, but I can tell you how I fixed my LIGOS encoder problem.
I use XP Professional, and though I had PowerDVD installed (and appearing in the TMPGENC VFAPI environment properly), I could not open MPEG2 files in TMPGENC. I installed LIGOS today, and MPEG2 started working and everything was fine. Until a reboot....
Ligos no longer showed up in the available VFAPI selections. I uninstalled both TMPGENC, and LIGOS, rebooted, reinstalled, yada-yada... Nothing.
What was very strange is that LIGOS and TMPGENC worked fine on a second user's profile on this XP machine. Ligos WAS available for the second user. I scanned the registries, and the only difference between the first and second user profile was that the first user had the entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareLigos
The second (working profile) did not.
I deleted the LIGOS hive from HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftware and everything started working again.
Go figure. I'd seen a post here by somebody claiming that TMPGENC does not use the registry. Well that's obviously NOT the case. A search for TMPGENC in the win32 registry will find several places where TMPGENC creates it's own entries, and obviously reads others.
Good luck, and thanks to the developers for a very good product!
You didn"t have to go through all that trouble to get a seperate Mpeg2 decoder to read Mpeg2 files for tmpgenc, you can use the Mpeg2 decoder that was used for ALL versions before 2.57, it was the "M2V-Vfp Plugin" and it worked fairly good but didn"t decode as fast as Cyberlink or Ligos, and at times there were problems getting reading Mpeg 2 files..but i use it cuz it has other uses than just a mpeg2 decoder, you can use it to frame serve Mpeg2 files with Vfapi...anyway I"m glad you got it worked out...
PS: Tmpgenc does read certain registry entries but it does not rely on the registry to do simple avi to mpeg encodeing, I guess that is why there is no instalation.......
I guess there are "Priority" of MPEG-2 decoders which is set
by decoders, and that is not possible to be changed by TMPGEnc.
This is one reason why TMPGEnc decided to use only a few specific
decoders (I think).
There might be case that bad decoder puts itself higher/highest
priority in Windows, as a result, decoding result gets really bad,
then some people has problem becase of bad decoder.
I do not know which has higher priority between ligos and cyberlink,
but one of them cause probelm or might not be installed properly.
I tried the M2V-Vfp Plugin for the MPEG2 files I'm working with. It didn't work at all, neither did Cyberlink. For some reason, the only vfapi that reads my particular MPEG2 streams was Ligos. I had to get it working, if I was going to use TMPGENC.
I'm pretty new to video but I've been getting on pretty well with TMPEnc. My copy of the program doesn't have a help menu and there are some functions I'd like to know more about eg. MERGE & CUT tool there is a button marked CORRECT
Is there a list of function and what they do suitable for novices?
There is a Help file that comes with the "Plus" version..The correct makes it so your files aren"t cut of joined part way through a Gop, you can only edit or join Mpeg files on an I frame...you can laern a lot about the functions of Tmpgenc at www.vcdhelp.com......
Question:
If I want to use an external tool with TMPGenc, like SSRC or tooLame, how can I set some extra switches?
Like in SSRC if I want to use the "--twopass" option, how can I do it? I tried to simply write it in the command line next to the path to ssrc.exe but TMPGenc doesn't like that...
I don"t think you can use the External Tools like that, or there might be a way but not through the Tmpgenc Interface...What i"ve been useing is Headac3e to encode my Audio files to mp2 then you can use the 2 pass audio encodeing method and have a bunch more formats to work with...
I used TMPGEnc for 4 movies and now whenever I start to convert an AVI to MPG
to make a CDV it starts just like normal but after the first few frames I get an ERROR -537 403781 98656, just this number. If I click OK it continues to the next frame and gives the same error again. If I continue clicking OK I suppose I will finally finish the video but that's crazy. Has anyone any idea what is the problem?
Is this happening with every single file you try to encode or just a particular file??if it happens with every file then try re-downloading Tmpgenc and try again...
hi there
i have a problem with the bitrate,i can not change the bitrate in the audio settings.it does not matter what i do,if i use the wizard at the start or not it always comes up with Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps).it always gives me 224kbps.
it is always greyed out.can someone please help me.
please help if you can, i am trying to convert avi video files to mpeg file. i am having a problem getting the movie to convert with sound. i am using virtualdub for audio extraction, but cant seem to get tmpeg to convet file. i choose video source as avi file, for instance (something about mary) and then get saved wav file and begin to start conversion and tmpeg states that it cannot use as an external audio converter. please help
in tmpgenc goto environmentals settings and choose the external tools tab. If external audio encoder is checked then uncheck it. Also make sure u have a real wav file from virtual dub... u need to have audio as full processing mode and not direct stream copy when u save wav as. Also under compression choose no compression (PCM)
