I tried different encoding variables but every time I try to encode my DV AVI file I get an mpeg-2 file but when the camera moves, I get a two line picture around the edges of the object. As if it was interlaced. I tried filters, non-interlaced but no matter what I do, I get the same result. It's as if the first line moves but the second stays behind. Anyone has the same problem ?

thanks

Tmpgenc has Over 15 different types of De-Interlace filters you probably just didn"t find them and you have to make sure that you have the Field Order set correctly..I encode Interlaced Files all the time and if you have the field order set correctly and you use the correct de-interlace filter you shouldn"t have problems.Since you are encodeing DV the field order shoud allways be "bottom field first" but if you are in doubt the load the file in to the "Wizard" then it will analize the file for the correct field order..You can find the "De-Interlace" filters in the "Advanced Settings" then you See the list of filters and "Double click" the "De-interlace" filter and a Screen will pop up with you movie displayed in it and a drop Down menue full of different filters for you to try,and just find the one that works best, usuallt if the field order is Bottom field first like in DV material the correct filter would be the "Odd Field" Filter....

I wanted to fix a mpg file with an out-of-sync audio using tmpgenc, but when i tried to open the mpg file it says can't open/ unsupported. How can I fix this problem? and I don't know if i installed VFP properly, please teach me :(

You Cant fiX a Mpeg file with out of Sync Audio with tmpgnc,Tmpgenc doesn"t have the tools to fix out of Sync audio unless you were going to Re-Encode the file and use the "Audio Gap Correct" In the Source range but that isn"t the best Idea..Use a program called "Mpeg-VCR" or "Mpeg2vcr" for fixing Sync issues,It has a Feature in it"s Multiplexor that lets you resync the audio to the video without Re-encodeing..

To set the "Vfapi" you just double click the "TmpgencVfp-Install.bat" file,then put the "Tmpgenc.vfp" file in your Tmpgenc folder..and to load Mpeg2 files into tmpgenc you need a mpeg2 codec..

Mr Hori or moderator or whoever.
When is TMPG going to implement YUV decoding?
Seeing as most codecs now support this as does other software which can work with TMPG it only makes sense.

Come on Hori the only thing holding TMPG back now is the speed and YUV will speed it up consiserably.

Yes I think that would be a good Idea ,I cant use tmpgenc to encode AVI files that I capture to Uncompressed YUV2 or to the "Picvideo MJpeg Codec" cuz I use the compress to YUV2 option with the codec..Most capture cards capture better to YUV2 and I think inplementing this type of Decodeing would solve a few problems with unsupporetd file types...

I was using the trial version just fine, then my time ran out and I purchased the lastest? version 2.58.44.152 - But now when I try to open up an mpg2 file that I created with TMPGEnc I get the can't open / not supported error on the video line. I want to cange the bitrate from 6000 to 4000 to reduce the file size. But now I can't get any of my mpg's to open with the registared version.

I have tried raising and lowering priorities of some of the VFAPI plugins, but have not been successful.

Any clues or suggestions?

Firstly this is NOT a bug in TMPG. Go to the TMPG site and read the revision notes and look what it says about the codecs needed.
You will find your answer there and if you can't work it out then I will try and explain how to solve it in more simple terms.

ASHY

ASHY - Thanks for the quick response, The mpg2 files can be played on my machine with both WMP (with InterVideo DVDMP3XPack) and with Power DVD.
But since I deleted the "free" evaluation version and installed the licensed version of TMPG I have not been able to get TMPG to read the mpg2 files.

I read through the release notes as you suggested and basically understand the notes to state that if I have codecs that currently read the files, then chances are TMPG will also read them, I did not the usual disclaimer about less than 100% on every machine, but the "free" trial version of TMGP was working on my machine.

Any other suggestions? Please try to keep it simple as I am a newbie at this stuff.

There are a couple of things you can try ..Ine is to raise the Priority of the "Cyberlink Mpeg2 decoder" in the VFapi Plugins...If the Plugin is not listed then that is your problem...Another thing you can try is to De-mux the mpeg file and just encode the Video..that is better anyway cuz The audio is allready in the Correct format and re-encodeing it will just cause problems..and if that doesn"t work you are left with the Best option and the option that for me works the fastest which is to load the mpeg2 file into DVD2AVI and choose "Demux" and "Mpeg audio" in the "Audio" settings.. then it will demux the audio for you and make a "D2V" project file for you that you encode in Tmpgenc then after encodeing you just Mux the de-muxed audio with the encoded mpeg video file..This is the way I do it every time I have to encode a mpeg file..it is faster and is less trouble free Because you don"t have to worry about tmpgenc haveing to rely on the Cyberlink or logos decoders..

minion - Thanks! That Worked! (raising Cyberlink priority). It is now operating as it did during the trial period. I will try out some of your other suggestions also, Thanks.

I get an error when trying to run TMPGenc.

Here is the error.
AppName: tmpgenc.exe AppVer: 2.58.44.152 ModName: mp43dmod.dll
ModVer: 9.0.0.2799 Offset: 00005b67

I'm running WinXP
and an AMD 1600+

Any ideas?

CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE?

I AM TRYING TO COPY A FILM , AND PUT IT ON TO TWO DISCS, THE FIRST PART WORKED , BUT THE SECOND ONE KEEPS COMING UP WITH THIS ERROR CODE 537403781.

THANKS

PS CHEERS FOR THE HELP YOU ALL GAVE ME ON SOLVING THE LAST PROBLEM I HAD.

hi there im kinda new to this i know how to encode an avi file im just trying to encode an divx file i did it as i would an avi and it would run then id get an error supposeably the movie was already finished but it still had to encode for anither 2 hrs can u please tell me settings i should use thanks

I don't quite understand the question. DIVX is AVI anyway and I don't understand what you mean when you say it finishes encoding but has another 2hrs to go.
Please give more details.

I have only started messing around makeing DVD into VCD, I am currenly backing-up my dvd collection and I am on to my secound VCD. Which happens to be shrek.

I ceate an image of the dvd, then I create a project and Dolby surround wave (Shrek AC3 T01 3_2ch 448Kbps 44.1KHz.wav). I play the wave file using media player and notice like a stuttering for the first 20 secounds of the wave.

I convert the wave and project to an mpeg file, I play the mpeg and notice that where the stuttering is is in the opening credits of the movie. Which each stutter the currently disslayed credit changes to a different language. Once the credits finish the sound returns too normal but is out of sync with the picture.

I have since created a new wave file. This wave had one instace where the sound stuttered and and opening credit re-appered in another language.

Do these problems have anything to do with "Channel Format," "Dolby Digital," or "Mpeg Audio?" If so what are the best settign for these?

You have either Ripped the VoB files incorrectly or you have used DVD2AVI incorrectly...One Thing I did notice is that you are doing the sample rate conversion with DVD2AVI cuz in the WAV file name the audio frequency is supposed to be 48khz not 44.1khz..You should do the sample rate conversion with either Tmpgenc or a different audio encoder...Since I don"t know which version Of DVD2AVI you are useing I can"t really tell you what settings to use..But I"ll try..Under audio it should be set to "Decode" and "Dolby surround downmix" the chanell format set to "Auto select" and "48->44.1" should be "OFF" and usually Track #1 is english...This is all I can do without more info...

I,m trying to make vcds. when i converted an avi to mpg I got the audio but no video. what do i need to do to fix it

Hey, i try the same (avi -> mpeg for svcd) and get video but no sound. maybe we should team up? (-;
During the encoding process i get a lot of little windows with error messages, just printing a number. I get the same when i try to access the audio track.

thanx for any hint,
~klemens

For info how to solve your problem type 'priority' into the search box and look for anything to do with the priority setting of the 'directshow multimedia file reader' under the VFAPI plugins.

when i try and open a asf i get this problem tmpg has encounterd problems and needs to close
and im using win xp? can anyone help me fix dis problem..
laterz

try repairing the asf file using asf tools http://www.geocities.com/myasftools/
also encode the asf audio to wave first (windows media audio) using dbpower amp http://www.dbpoweramp.com/. Make sure u download the WMA codec as well.

ive tryed that
but it doesnt open when i try and convert it it say i got a illegal operation and it closes. .. with all asf files.. im using winxp operation system i never used to happen to me .. i know how to convert asf but not working anymore ..

thanks anyways...

my problem seem as ...

script error: there is no function named "IPCSource( kt_sub.avs line1 )
kt_sub.avs >> IPCSource("kt_sub.mpg0")

My DVDx version 1.8
TMPGenc version 2.58
Download and install now AvisynthPackagev2_00

What's wrong ????

When I convert MPEG 2 files to MPEG 1, I get an incorrect display of the duration in the converted file. For example, if I convert a 15 sec MPEG 2 file into MPEG 1, it'll say the total duration of the MPEG 1 file is 30 seconds in Windows Media Player but in fact it only lasts 15 seconds.

What parameters do you use in the encoding?

If the file plays fine then Don"t worry about it.

i get a lot of finnished files with a negative file size e.g -2188236455, sometimes from single files sometimes from joined files, anyone know why this is, thanks for your time

u got to extract the audio file from the video.. use virtual dub to do this
then the file size will be smaller..
