I have powerdvd installed but tmpgenc does not list the Cyberlink VFAPI Plugin under Environmental Settings. I caould have sworn it was there before plus i could open MPEG2 files with tmpgenc but can't now. Any odeas how to get it back.
hi,I am using the progran to convert avis to vcds.when I try to convert an avi that has a frame rate of 23.9 to the correct vcd format (ntsc film) then playback is smooth but the sound keep going out,it will catch up and then go out again. If I try to convert the same avi to a pal vcd , then the playback is slightly jerky (due to the different frame rates I think),but the sound stays synced to the video.
Any sugestions would be helpfull.
p.s I have tried 3 different brands of blank cds to see if this was the problem,but it made no difference.
Well find out the frame rate of your AVI file...23.9 isn"t nescessarily the correct frame rate for VCD 29.9 is actually a more standard NTSC format...you have to encode to the same frame rate as your AVI file ..and Virtual Dub in this case is used for extracting the audio from your avi file to a WAV file which is more compatible with TMPGenc....
i have had to reinstall every thing to my system, including codecs etc
now last week i could import d2v files then encode an mpeg 2 file, now i can't ?? i have installed all that i did before, any ideas where i should start
i am making an mpeg to put on a vcd, and it ran good until I tried to changed the stream to the one you need for svcd (not the non-standard one though, it was even worse when I used the non-standard). Now it experiences a slow down and lag in some spots. I am on constant quality and have pumped the minimum bitrate up to 7000 (i near computer illiterate so this may have been stupid i realize) but it still experiences a slow down. would it be better if i used the mode where it scans the whole video first and then allocates bitrate or whatever. I want the best quality possible. what do i need to do to get rid of the lagging? thank you for any help
that lagging you are talking about sounds like you are encodeing the file to a Different frame rate as the source file...if you avi file has a Certain frame rate the mpeg file has to have that same frame rate...so check that you are encodeing to the correct format...

well you you have the DVD2AVI.VFP plugin in the Vfapi Plugins?if not then this is your problem...and if you do then Just try makeing another D2V file...sometimes they don"t quite work the first time..
i have tried it several times but the first vob file doesnt have audio.all the other vob files support audio. can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong. thank you
How are you converting the VOB files????You NEVER Load the VOB files directly into Tmpgenc Cuz It won"t work Right....You have to use DVD2AVI to extract the audio track to a WAV file and Make a D@V project file for the video and encode that...Go to "www.vcdhelp.com...
This is my first time using TMPGEnc and I'm trying to convert an AVI file to MPG-2 so I can burn it onto an SVCD.
I'm following a tutorial at http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgencsvcd.htm and a couple of minutes into encoding, I get an error "Index of Scan Line is out of range(360)".
My source avi is of the following format:
Frame size, fps: 640x360, 25fps
Decompressor: DivX MPEG-4 Fast-Motion
Audio Sampling Rate: 44100Hz Stereo, MPEG-3 Compression (But I extracted it to a .wav file because I heard that not doing that can sometimes cause problems)
So my question is this, what does that error message mean? Is it a problem with my source file or with my configuration somewhere?
sounds Like a BAD AVI file....I think this has something to do with when the file is being encoded the resolution of the source file suddenly changes for like a Frame, or the frame could be corrupted...This is very common with Downloaded files..That is why i don"t use downloaded files Cuz a lot of them get corrupted through downloading...you can try to frame serve the file with Virtual Dub...
im trying to convert my dvd files to mepg. i can get audio on all but the first vob file. i keep getting file is unsupported. but all the other vob files work fine.
i am trying to make a vcd, and have finally got it to where nero will not tell me there is an encoding problem. to do this I changed the stream type from: mpg system {automatic}, where the playback was beautiful, to mpg video cd {non standard}, where the playback is craptastic because it is jerky. thanks for any advice you have.
Jerky Playback is usually Caused By encodeing to the Wrong Frame rate...You have to encode to the same frame rate as the file you are encodeing..so if the avi has a 29.97fps frame rate you have to encode it to 29.97fps....
As all of you probably know, all DVD-players can't handle SVCD! :(
So, is there a way to burn a (very short!) DVD on a regular CD-R?
Maybe with just two/three musicvideos or something like that?
Maybe this is a stupid question, I don't even know that! :)
Anyway, I've created a file with the DVD-template in TMPGEnc and
really want to burn a CD with higher quality than VCD that can be
played on every DVD-player.. Possible? :)
Thank you! I hope I don't appear as a Massive Fool! :)
Nope not possible.
You may be able to fool your machine into accepting MPEG2 files by running the MPEG through the multiplexer using the 'MPEG1 VCD(non standard' setting to add a VCD header to the file.
If that doesn't work then just create an XVCD by raising the bitrate higher and increasing the resolution.
