I have a really simple animation here that blends two logos on a black background. All the colors are fine expect for whites, which appear yellowish in the output file. What is even more bizarre is that the whites get even yellower towards the edges.
Anyone know whats up here?! Any help would be hugely appreciated as I'm testing the app for my boss to buy and I've got a major deadline coming up. I don't want to revert back to cleaner now - this seems so good otherwise!
Okay, after a little more messing I've noticed that it's not just the whites that are being discolored. There appears to be some kind of yellow gradient (transparent at the top, strongest at the bottom), overlaying the whole video. It's just the whites that are affected the worst.
Right - I've sorted it. In case anyone else was having the same problem, all I did was tick the 'Interpolate YUV data from 4:1:1 to 4:4:4' in the General Environmental Settings.
Just so I know, does anyone know what purpose this serves?!
It was a raw animation of two image files animated in After Effects and output to uncompressed AVI on a Win2k machine.
I suspect this is a bug report.
After encoding an MPEG file, TMPGenc unexpectedly just quits after completion, regardless if it's a single file encode or a batch encode.
I'm running win2k on an amd 1.33 ghz machine. I have more than enough ram and space for the program (I could adjust the temp directory for it)
Thanks lots if you guys could figure out why.
You have to extract the audio from your AVI file to WAV with Virtual Dub or sound forge and use that as the audio source,But if the audio is AC3 you can use AVIMuX to de-mux and uncompress the audio...
Every time i try to encode a 700mb avi film file, it doesnt have any sound. i have tries severel different films, dont know what to do, its really annoying, as i leave it for ages, and when its done there is no sound.
try VirtualDub to create a .wav file from your movie sound and use this in tmpgenc as the sound source.
or use avi2vcd to create an .avi file with uncompressed sound
Hello i'm used TmpgEnc since about 1 year with Win98SE, no problem.
But, i've installed my new computer with win2000 SP3 and i can't encode correctly a movie, the system stopped during encoding never at the same place and i do reboot my computer ( mouse don't move, keyboard inactive ...).
to pass AVI--> VCD (pal)
My system
Mother board Msi6330 V5 KT Turbo2 with lastest Bios V3.6
Duron 1.3Ghz / 512Mo SDRAM / Directx 8.1b / Win2k SP3 / HDD 20Mo 80Mo
Graphic card Hercules 3Dprophet 4000XT 64Mo Tv Out
Can you help me please ?
Sorry for my poor english
@+ Jef
Yes, with the driver IDE and AGP ( MSI 4in1 drivers for win2k)
In fact, TmpgEnc run but it seems that the problem appears on a specific
file !!!
I'd tried to correct this avi file with DivFix and the log file don't show error.
File specification :
audio at Mpeg3 48Khz / 15,991Ko/s stereo
video DIVXMPG4 V3 576*352 / 25 flps
Bonjour,
Le format SVCD de TempGenc n'est pas lisible par le lecteur windows media player for XP V8.0
Est-ce normal?
merci.
D'autre part comment puis-je avoir la version complEe (supñÓieur E5mn de video)?
merci beaucoup.
hope you're able to read english.
the mediaplayer doesn't come with a mpeg2 codec for mpeg2 playback.
the mpeg2 codec isn't free. you have to install a dcd player software like WinDVD e.g.
after that you should be able to play the SVCD with this software and i think with the mediaplayer, too.
I am trying to convert a WMV file to MPG for creating a VCD and I am getting the unsupported error. I have tried raising DirectShow priority to 2 but that did not solve the problem. The file plays in WM Player. Properties specify Audio WMA8 and Video WM Version 7. So I have the right codecs also.
Another WMV file, the video is OK but the Audio is unsupported. Again, I am able to play in WM Player. Properties specify Audio WMA9 and Video MPEG-4 V3. I am able to convert another WMV file with the exact same settings.
first of all u should convert the audio to wav before adding to tmpgenc. Use dbpower amp and install the vma8 codec for audio http://www.dbpoweramp.com/. If u have trouble with asf or wmv video then u might want to repair your file with asf tools 3.1 http://www.geocities.com/myasftools/. If it still doesn't load try cutting a tiny bit off the end.......workes for me sometimes. Asf and wmv can be tricky and are often corrupt in some way.
Thanks for your help. I used dbPowerAmp to convert the Audio to WAV and ASFTools to do a Basic Repair on the WMV. Now I am able to convert them to MPG for writing to VCD.
I was a bit hasty in posting the "Success" message. I was able to convert to MPG in preparation for creating the VCD, but when I play the MPG, I notice the Video and Audio are not in sync. There is a little lag of about 1-2 sec which is very disconcerting. Are there any tools for syncing the Video and Audio?
This is what I did to solve the Video/Audio sync problem. First, I converted the existing WMV (WMV1 format) to MP43 format by using Re-Encode feature of ASFTools. This is because I couldn't convert directly to AVI format (kept getting "couldn't locate WMV1 decompressor" error). When I played this, there was no Video/Audio sync problem. Then I converted the MP43 WMV file to AVI using Convert to AVI feature of ASFTools. When I played this the Video/Audio sync problem was there. Then I played around with the Audio Lead / Lag values and kept Convert to AVI. This doesn't take long since it updates only the AVI Header info. After just 2 tries, I was able to get a good sync. Then I used TMPGEnc to convert the AVI to MPG for creating the VCD.
I'm curious...in the quantize matrix at the bottom of the page you see two differsnt blocks...one for intra block and one for non-intra blocks....what do these mean? I'd like to know how & when to use the block and intra blocks?
If you are very well versed with encoding techniques DONT touch the matrix.
Matrixes are complicated algorithms and take some technical know how to understand.

Ive used TMPGENC to encode my DVDs to VideoCD MPG for a few weeks but just bought myself a portable VCD player for use in work/car.
Problem is that although the VCD MPGs TMPGENC create play on my home DVD system they will not play properly on my portable player because the average bitrate is not exactly 1150kbps.
Encoding an AVI with the old Panasonic encoder produces an exact 1150kbps file which runs fine.
Is there a setting in TMPGENC to create a perfect VCD compliant file ?
Here is an example of what I get with a TMPGENC VideoCD MPG played on the player.
As you can see there is breakup on the screen initially which is annoying but more so is on scene changes (eg: from the face of an actor switching to another actor) you get a flash of the following scene before it appears and also a judder whenever the movie pans across.
These are not apparent on movie files and VCD from other people that are encoded exactly to 1150kbps.
I load the MPG into VirtualDUB and File Properties to check.
What do you mean average bitrate?
The bitrate shouldn't be average it should stay constant throughout the file.
Are you using the constant bitrate setting and the stream type set at 'MPEG1 Video cd' under the 'System' tab.
The best way is to create a compliant VCD is to use the VCD templates. If this still causes a problem then you may need to re-mux the MPEG with the Phillips VCD 2.0 toolkit as it is known that TMPG's muxer does not create 100% VCD 2.0 whitebook MPEGs.
Hi Ashy :) I hear you say:
"it is known that TMPG's muxer does not create 100% VCD 2.0 whitebook MPEGs."
Is this why Easy VCD gives its error stating "improper VCD format not usually a problem normaly a indicator that TMPGenc was used"?
Also why doesnt the author fix this? Can you shed some light on this.
Thanks ~NewtronX
Yes I believe this is why VCDeasy produces the error.
It is not the actual files which are at fault, but the way TMPG multiplexes.
VCD's have strict constraints.
If the muxer doesn't conform to these constraints when writing headers then a less than tolerant VCD player will reject the file.
Most DVD players won't have a problem it's only strict VCD players which have this problem.
I don't know why the author doesn't fix this, maybe he believes it's not his problem as most players will handle TMPG files ok.
Where can I get this Philips VCD toolkit ? I would love to have my VCDs all compliant and I know Im going to loose a lot of quality if I have to decode them and recode them :(
Ill try out the Philips VCD program when I get home. I take it Mux and Demux means multiplexing (combining two or more into one and vice versa) and hence will not require decoding and re-encoding.
I've gone through almost all the steps up to encoding the movie. When I hit the start button I get a pop up stating that the p3package.dll can't load. Where do I go from here?
this question is for minion, or ashley.before i posted this ques. i did go through all 199 pages looking for an answer. so my question is this, i have heard alot about this program TMPGEnc PLUS 2.58 so i purchased it. as i began to download movies, in the preview section, i got no sound or picture. on this message board it said go to options, click on vfapi plug-in and change the direct show from -1 to 2. well i did that, and still the same thing(no pic or sound). so then i re-installed the program and changed the direct show to 2, but this time when i tried to record it gave me an error message saying the program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.now i know you guys seem get tired of being asked the same questions over & over again, but i would really like your help. also do i do anything els besides raising the direct show level to 2(one person said i should uncheck all of the other boxes)
Most of the Problems experienced With Tmpgenc aren"t really problems with tmpgenc But a Problem with the Configuration of the system it is installed on..Usually a conflict with certain Codecs and/or Programs or problems accessing the Direct show filter..I personally Haven"t ever had a problem loading any type of file well not since I stopped useing Downloaded movies..Have you tried Frame serveing the file with V-Dub or AVISynth???If you can get Virtual dub to load the file then Chances are that you can frame serve it without a problem...
