I want to make a (s)VCD for my friend who is internet-lacking and is in the hospital..he likes movies so I was planning on putting all the new trailers from quicktime.com on it. I used the thing at divx-digest.com to let tmpg read mov files, and it does, but when it converts the trailer everything gets squished into fullscreen, even though the movie is in widescreen...HELP!!
That has nothing to do with it being a MOV file it hs to do with the aspect ratio..and the Video arrange method..Try the 1:1 or 16:9 aspect ratio and try a few different Vidio arrange settings and the Clip frame settings...
each time I encode it again, it stretches out to fill the screen top to bottom...I tried it like that outta curiosity and when I treid to burn it with nero it said that mpeg2 wont work..
You can"t use "Mpeg2" files with Nero..You have to use "SVCD files"..I"m sure than Nero Didn"t say "mpeg2 wont work" I"m sure it use a more descripive term..
NO ,Mpeg2 is NOT SVCD, there are distinct differances between a Plain mpeg2 file and a Svcd Mpeg2 file, a svcd/mpeg2 file has to have particular scan offsets in the stream header for it to be svcd compliant so if you just load a Plain Mpeg2 file into Nero you will not be able to burn it without re-encodeing because the header info is different than a compliant svcd file...
How well optimised for multiprocessing is TMPGenc ?
Asking as I have the opportunity of laying hands on a 8 way Xeon and wondering if it will make a difference.
And will using larger L2 cache ie 2 MB cache Xeons work that much better ?
P3 or P4 ?
I run it on 3 dual Athlon 1.8 systems at the moment, will upgrade to 2400 but wondered if say an 8 way Xeon 700/2MB cache machine would be better, I can obtain one for similar money :-)
I used to have version 2.5 but i upgraded to the latest. now ever time i open the program i get this pop up that says
"cpu settings has been reset to default because cpu might be different from last time, or new command has been supported."
This is a TMPG message and usually happens if you have upgraded something on your PC such as the processor.
It has to do with the settings under the CPU tab under Options>enviroment settings which are being set back to default, but it's strange you are seeing this evertime as it should only happen once.
Are you running the program ok after you have seen the message?
yea its really weird, I don't have an overclocked cpu, and the program runs fine once i click the message. It keeps poping up everytime i run the program. Its just irritating cause i can't run batch files cause it waits for input.

You Can"t..The Wizard is for poeple who don"t know how to set up there template and do the settings correctly..Once you know how to Make a template and understand the settings you want then You have Graduated Past the newbie Wizard stage and you can use the program normally...All you do is load your file into the Main Tmpgenc not the Wizard then click the "Load" button then look for the Template you saved then choose it and That is it you just click "Start" then it encodes to the settings in your template...
Well there is something wrong with the AVS script that you are encodeing...and the error is telling you what the error is and were the error is..Open Up the "AVS" file with Note Pad and look at the first line of the script and edit the first line of the script to what it is supposed to be ..I don"t know what your script is so I cant tell you what exactly to do ....
That is not a Valid AVS file...Redo it and if it turn out the same script then There is something wrong with DVDX, I don"t know a single thing about DVDx so I cant help you there...And My Avisynth isn"t the best either but I do know that is not a Valid AVSynth script..
I don't really know much about DVDx either, but the command IPCSource("movie.mpg0") seems correct.
This command tells AVisynth to connect to the Premiere export plugin and looks for the frameserver file with the name("movie.mpg0").
(You wont be able to see this file, but if the premier server is running it should connect to it.)
Is the framesrver running when you try to open the .avs file.
Also the command only works with AVIsynth versions below v1.0b6 and above v1.0b3 so check your version or download an earlier version and try it.
If you only have a small hard drive and want to make DVD rips directly from your DVDROM drive then you can kiss your DVD drive goodbye soon.
Making DVD rips directly from a DVD drive puts far too much stress on the drive and will shorten it's life considerably.
Depending on how long it takes to encode, your drive could be in operation for anything between 2 hrs to 15 hrs and if it's more like 15 hrs then this is a hell of a long time for a drive to run and if you are making rips constantly then the running life of the drive will soon be reached.
Hard drives are specifically made to run constantly and will run for a long time before breaking down. DVDROM drives and CDROM drives are NOT designed to run like this.
Take my advice save up and get a bigger hard drive otherwise you will only have to spend the money on a new DVD drive instead.
Once you have done that you will be able to start ripping the right way with thev right tools.
I currently get 'Unspecified Error:11175' near the end of a 1-hr
of AVI->MPG2 encoding, and I tried it again, and this time it happened
10 mins into in the process. I am using the 2.58 Trial version with
Windows 2K. I use CQ with 8K bitrate. One time it hung the machine
very early on when I tried with 2-hr AVI->MPG2. This is when I tried
with Windows XP, I don't know if this is Window or HW that causes the hang.
I will consider buying TMPG when it runs more reliable.
Tmpgenc is very Reliable and Stable, there are many More factors than just tmpgenc to the reasons why problems occur...More often than not an error occurs because of a Codec or the File it self, or just the configuration of said System..Like Too many codecs installed on a single machine, or Iffy software installed on Said machine...Since I stopped Downloading my files off the net I haven"t had any problems encodeing Files...
Try version 2.57
I run into the same problem but I do not think it is cause of Codecs or other things, cause reverting to version 2.57 the errors disappeared.
I have no idea on why is this happening, the error codes are for read errors, but sometime the system just locks.
The fact that 2.57 (not likely so much different) works, make me think there's a bug or instability in the current 2.58 version.
Could we not have a sticky at the top of the forum - something to get people's attention 'READ THIS BEFORE POSTING' or suchlike, which suggets using the search function ?
It would avoid the same old questions being asked over and over.
Please help!

Well If they play on your friends player then The problem Is odviously with your DVD Player cuz if the file were screwed then they wouldn"t work on your friends player..You can allways use a different authoring program???
I found that DVDs mastered by DVD Workshop then copied to hard disk and burned by DVDit LE do not play. The discs get into the menu but video does not start up at all.
I will probably contact Ulead tech support to try to get to the bottom of this.
i use dvd workshop, dvd movie factory and a couple of others, i get the 'wont play in some machines' but i think its down to the blank discs, i use an a04 and i have no probs with any part of it
I purchased a fujijilm s602 which creates 640x480vga mjpeg avi videos. I think quicktime was used to encode avi in the camrea. Any Idea how I can use tmpgenc to encode ot mpge for vcd ?
Do you have a "MJPeg Codec" installed on your system so Tmpgenc can decode the file....and if it happens to be a Quicktime file you will need a QuickTime Plugin for tmpgenc which you can find on Google...
