I am getting this on the startup page every time I start TMPGEnc now.
I did'nt know it was nessesary to buy a MPEG-2 encoder sepparately?
What do I do from here, I get a strange numbered error every time I try to convert AVI to MPG to make a CDV.
The error means exactly what it says, it means the the "Mpeg2 encodeing function has experied..It only works for 30 days after download, now if you want to keep useing tmpgenc for encodeing mpeg2 you have to buy the program..but you can still use the mpeg1 encodeing....
When I encode my movie at full quality (720x576) PAL, the preveiw screen has horizontal lines in it, but only when there is fast movement or motion in the movie, I tried low res option and doesnÃÕ do it, It wouldnÃÕ be so bad, but the end product turns out the same????, Any help would be much appreciated.
It sounds like you are getting "Interlace Lines" Which you really shouldn"t be getting with a Pal file,Are you sure that the Source file is a Progressive 25 FPS Pal File???Try useing the "Deinterlace filter" in the "advanced settings" and choose the filter that looks best...
Hi, Thanks very much for you help, still getting the lines, The thing I find strange is that if I encode the video with the low res option, I dont get the lines, but of course the overall quality is not all that, and when I aurther the dvd, my software transcodes the video as it's not a legall mpeg2 file eg, mpeg1- 352x288, dvd mpeg2 720x576.
Do you know why the lines only appear when there is is movement or the camera has been panned a bit too quickly ?
I also agree that it is strange you are getting interlace lines. Even though PAL movies are indeed interlaced they generally do not have interlacing problems. This sort of effect only appears on movies which have had a pulldown added.
You either have a source movie which is not oringinaly in the PAL 25fps format or you have a PAL movie which rarely has a 24:1 pulldown added.
If the former is true then it is easy to correct by either IVTC or de-interlacing.
If it is the latter then you will have problems with this movie. You can get rid of the interlace lines by de-interlacing, but your movie will have slight regular jerks.
In either case your movie is going to end up with jerky playback anyway because both of these scenarios will create the jerky effect.
Regarding the fact that the interlacing lines do not appear at low resolution. This is normal and is usually the case. Interlacing lines only become apparant at higher resolutions.
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...
