Hello,
I don't know if this is normal, but when I select Source Range and try to select start or end frame the computer seems to freez and before I can see the selected frame a large amount of time passed.
TMPGEnc run on a PC with Celeron 733 CPU, 256 Mb ram; the file is an AVI of 5 Gb.
Is an hardware or sw problem?

Thanks in advance

ZioArvi

P.S. I'm from Rome Italy and... I'm sorry for my little english :-(

This happens on Slower systems especially with Big Files...I think when setting the start frame to the end frame the decoder has to decode the whole file to get to the end of the file..you probably won"t get this if you Put the time codes in manually at the top of the source range page...

Thanks for your replay.
I must change my hardware to resove the problem!

Bye

Hi.
I have downloaded a movie from kazaa which uses the xvid codec. After some searching and question answering I have managed to learn that there is a xvid codec for TMPGenc. Could you let me know where to find it and how to install it?

Many thanks in advance.
Alan

Google.com

U shouldn't need to look to hard.

And the Codec isn"t for Tmpgenc it is for your Computer to decode Xvid files...

Have a look at:
http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/userguides/119019.php
I've tried this and it worked like a charm!

why doesn't this forum have a FAQ? am woundering hehe

What exactly do you mean??? at the top of the page it says"FAQ"...

oops...i bookmarked only the forum frame..(web page uses frames)..so couldn't see the FAQ. Reading through the FAQ though i notice many qs such as raise the direct show file reader etc are not included there...u know....like lots of qs that keep getting asked again and again and again......hehe

please help me when i want convert file from Dvd for my personal backup with TMPEGnc, after 10min. tmpegnc 2.58 writhe this error:
"write error occurred at address 004057B4 of module TMPEGnc.exe
with 02FFFF8"
i've try with two different DVD, but this error arrive

please hel me, and excuse for my english but i'm italian

How are you Converting the DVD?? Usually this error shouldn"t come up with DVD that are done properly...

non Eche per caso ti arriva al 99% e poi si blocca dicendo "write error occured at address 004028A9 of module TMPEGENC.EXE with 008A14E4 ?.....sto coso non va.....

i used tmpgenc the following way:
1 convert *.pva files to ps-stream with pvastrumento
2 de-multiplex this mpg file using tmpgenc
3 encode resulting *.m2v and *.mp2 files into final mpg-file
(this file i could burn onto cd for play in cd-player).
for all this i was using the free version (vcd, not svcd).

now, i wanted to upgrade an bought tmpgenc plus.

the problem:
i cannot even use the above-mentioned procedure to produce the final mpg(1) file. tmpgenc-plus will not accept either *.m2v (video) nor *.mp2 sources. i always get an error message ´can not open or not supported´. playing around with priority settings did not change anything. also, afapi is correctly installed. where is my problem, or: how can i succee???
cheers and beers

Do you Have a Mpeg2 decoder installed? it has to be either Cyberlink Ligos or Sony, and if that don"t work then use DVD2AVI to frame serve the Mpeg file....that allways works and it is faster than letting Tmpgenc decode the file...

thanks minion. this is all very strange. i have windvd4 installed. this should do for mpeg2!?
if i use the tmpgenc mpeg-tools for de-multiplex, i can multiplex afterwards, using the resultant audio and video streams.
after it is done, i normally get a message like
´225 s packets cause buffer underflow, the mpeg file might cause error when played´
and indeed, i get a good video, but no audio. since i play the video using windvd4, i assume it is mpeg2 (svcd quality!)

if i want to input the 2 de-multiplexed-files (*.m2v and *.mp2) as video-source and audio-source in the MAIN WINDOW, i do get ´can not open or unsupported´ error, even though both files had been created by tmpgenc mpeg-tools.

Hi, Newbie here. Just trying to make my first SVCD menu (PAL). I quote from the VCDEasy help guide...

"For the Menu I recommend a still image that contains pictures of your Clips on it with numbers next to each clip. You take that image, combine it with a WAV of nothing in TMPGEnc, and you get an MPG with no sound that will loop forever until a selection is made."

OK I made a JPG in photoshop (480*576. Loaded it into TMPGEnc (2.5).Nothing in the Audio selection - Press the Start and the mpg is created. I try to load it into VCDEasy and it says its too short. Where is the 'make it loop' option in TMPGEnc ?

Thanks

You can"t use Tmpgenc for this ...Try Ulead DVD Workshop...it will do all of that for you....

TMPGEnc cannot create menu stills. Use VCDEasy, it has a tool for that.

Does TMPGENc 2.58 Plus Version MPEG Tools supports muxing dts sound format for DVD? If not, how should I go about enabling TMPGEnc to accept dts sound file for muxing with video? Is there any plugins in the market to support dts in TMPGEnc Encoder?

No.

I get sound but no picture while i'm converting avi to mpeg. How come?

Try this ..go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct show" to "2"...

Hi, I have extracted the audio part into a wav file with Goldwave and tested it. Fine, no squeaks or jams of any kind.
But when I use tmpenc to encode it into mpg file along with the video part, the problem shows up: During the movie, whenever there's an explosion or loud noise(aircraft zooming by) of anykind, the sound sort of got a bit jammed with some squeaks. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
The original avi file is encoded using xVid, and the sound part is extracted to 16 bit Stereo, 44kbps. Thanks!!!

Maybe try one of the Mpeg audio encoder Plugins for Tmpgenc..They have a Much better Audio encodeing Quality ..Look for them on Google..They are "SCMPX and "Toolame" well they are the ones I have tried and Have liked...

"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.
Here is some ifo as to why a muxer may not be compliant, but I can't tell you the exact reason TMPG doesn't comply.

That is a Bit wierd Cuz I use the Tmpgenc Muxer all the time and have never gotten that message in VCD easy with Strictly Tmpgenc Muxed files ,Then again i don"t make files with VCD headers or files with SVCD headers I just use plain Mpeg2 files..So I guess this is Mostly a VCD header problem...

Think Your right Minion :)
"i don"t make files with VCD headers or files with SVCD headers I just use plain Mpeg2 files..So I guess this is Mostly a VCD header problem..."

Since I always make VCD's and it gives me the error may be your right.:)
Can you explain what the header problem could be that makes Easy VCD have this error. I dont know enough how the header is constructed for a 100% VCD 2.0 whitebook MPEGs.
