I am just curious. I have dual processor P3 1Ghz, running a dual processor os... and running version 2.58.44... and I've set the settings in the "Option", "Environmental Settings", "CPU" for multithreading (2 CPUS)... But it appears that my other cpu is idleing... did i do something wrong... if i can get the second processor enabled.. would it be faster?
I can report the same problem - I tested V 2.53, I've set the settings in the "Option", "Environmental Settings", "CPU" for multithreading (2 CPUS) - and both CPUs together are running with 50%....
I think, this is a bug and when Jack does report the same problem in V 2.58 I suppose, this issue does already exist in the actual version.
I would want to BUY the newest V 2.59 / 2.60-version - if this version would use both CPUs to 100%.....
I have spent a while looking through all these messages and found none that will solve my problem.
The problem is, when i am trying to convert my AVI file to MPEG2 the converted files' sound goes out of sync at a certain point in the movie. I have tried extracting sound from AVI into WAV using VirtualDub. I just dont know what to do now. The original AVIs sound is perfect all the way through.
This can be very difficult to fix, and it isn"t a Problem with Tmpgenc But with the avi file..I get from your Post that the audio is in sync at the beginning but it gradually goes out of sync as the movie goes on..This can be caused By the fact that some Poorly Made AVI files aren"t the exact frame rate that they say they are..The file might say that it is say for example 23.97fps but the file would be actually 23.95fps so when the video gets encoded to the correct frame rate of 29.97fps the Length of the video becomes just slightly shorter than it was before and shorter than the audio therefor causeing the De-Sync..The reason that it is so difficult to fix is that the movie Can be the correct frame rate for most of the movie But at a certain point it changes so you never know were in the movie the problem starts...but if it is a Constant think through the whole movie you might be able to fix it by useing a Audio editing program like "Cool Edit" or Sound forge" to stretch or shrink the audio to the exact same length of the video, but as I said this can be very tricky...
I have looked at the .WAV file size and the AVI file size and they are the same size. Plus, the sound doesn't gradually go out of sync it just goes out of sync at 1 moment in the film and then it is out of sync for the rest of the film.
What you can try to do to fix this is to Cut the Mpeg file exactly were it glitches and goes out of sync, then take the part of the file that is out of sync the whole way through and use "Mpeg2VCR" to Mux the audio and video together and Use the "A/V sync" Feature which will let you off set the audio to match the video, then when you got it right then Join the 2 files together...and hopefully this will work...
When loading TMPGENC I get the message "At adress 028BDB4A, Reading error ocure against adress 028BDB4A2 and then the program stops. Howe do I sole this, I can not use the programe.
I have the same problem with most movies I am encoding, I cannot figure out how to fix the problem, I have been restarting the encode where it had stop (when the error occurred), works ok, but always a couple seconds of delay between the two or sometimes three movie segments, even when I set the delay between clips at "0" when buring with Nero. This error has become a real pain in the butt, and it isn't making the joy of encoding movies any fun, its actually a big headache. If anyone has any answers please please email me or ICQ me
I have Noticed that Most of the time this error will only pop up with Movies Downloaded off the net...When movies get downloaded off the net they usually get a Bit corrupted through the downloading proscess which Causes errors in the File which Tmpgenc will Choke on ....There is No Magic solution accept for not useing Files downloaded off the net...I downloaded about 16 little Mpeg and avi clips off Kazaa the other day and out of the 16 files only 9 were able to be encoded without any trouble, most of the others had errors while encodeing, I was in most cases able to Solve the problem by Frame serveing the file with Virtual Dub, but I still had 3 files that Just couldn"t be encoded even though they played without a problem....
Sorry to add this, but I have better luck with movies off the net, the problems I am experiencing are when I am encoding from an actual DVD, not from movies downloaded.
Then the process you are using to encode DVD's must be wrong because you should not be experiencing errors from such a clean source unlike dirty and corrupt downloaded AVI's.
I have done about 50 movies, and about 20 of them I have expereienced this problem, the others no problem at all, but lately happening a little more often. This is about the only problem I ever have encoding the movies. This problem seems so common, that I cannot believe that others don't experience it from time to time. The Process I follow are from the guides from vcdhelp.com, and I have followed it step by step. Only once I have tried to encode an .avi to vcd, I had better luck with it, except the playback was a bit jerky.
Hello. I am a big fan of this product, so when the demo version expired on my machine, I came to this site and purchased the product. I received a serial number in my email box. However, I can find NO PLACE to enter the serial number and re-activate the software. Every time I open the splash page and click where the email directed me, I end up at the Web site. I have paid the full price for the software and would like to be able to use it. Any suggestions?
OK...after much searching, I figured it out...you CAN'T register the Freeware Version...you have to download the PLUS version. Uninstall any old version you have on your machine, and then reinstall the Plus version...which will then prompt you for a serial number. Anyway, if anyone is having the same problem that I was, do the above and it should work for you.
Hi
I have created a few SVCDs from captured video (high bit rate), encoded to SVCD and used VCDEasy to author the CD to enable chapters.
This has all worked well and I have some excellent digital backups of my VHS movies and home videos.
Now the problem started when I wanted to alter one of these so I tried to bust out the MPEG from the SVCD. I have previously used ISOBuster with good results but these SVCDs wont play on my PC and are difficult to view in 'My Computer'.
The original MPEGs (before authorising) worked fine in media player.
I have a Plextor CDRW so I thought that shouldn't be the problem.
Has anyone any ideas of how I can get these MPEGs out of the SVCDs.
Thanks
This is simple "Don"t Use anything like ISO buster or anything like that Just go into the Files that are on the SVCD disk and go into the "MpegAV" folder and Just drag & Drop the .MPG file to your Desktop..and that is it ,That file is the Mpeg file that you burned to Disk and it is in the correct Mpeg format..
i have a message already on here but my other problem is when i try to encode and theni get a message that says tmpgenc will shut down error occured in MP43DMOD.DLL, does anyone know what that means and how i could fix it??? i would appreciate it alot. nicole
I'm (a newbie) using DVD2AVI with TMPG. I'm outputting the audio track as AC3 (whatever that is), and TMPG seems to recognize it fine, but the final MPG has no audio.
I've tried various other audio output settings from DVD2AVI. Decoding to WAV results in a playable WAV track, but it is not recognized in TMPG.
Tmpgenc in Most Cases will Not Decode AC3 audio, that is why you need to extract the audio as a WAV file from DVD2AVI and use that as the audio format..Tmpgenc encodes WAV files better than any other format..You should have the "Dolby surround Downmix" setting on in DVD2AVI when extracting the WAV file...
Thanks. I suspected as much, but I keep getting an "unsupported format" error when I try to encode the WAV file that DVD2AVI creates.
Any ideas?

Can anybody please help!
When I convert avis to mpegs I often find that the picture keeps going purple,it then returns to normal colour. This cycle continues through the whole film at 5-10 second intervals.
Many thanks in advance.

This is caused from 1 of 2 things..You either have the "Angel potion" codec installed on your system..This codec is a Very buggy "Hacked" Codec which is Known to cause this problem, if you have the codec Get rid of it...Or you just need to raise the priority of the "Direct show" file reader.....
Is there a way to protect files from conversion? This one set of movies is really giving me trouble. TMPGENC tries to convert the file into a 72 minute video, when it is only 24 minutes long. Someone suggested using a bitrate calculator, but i dont know what to do with the results.
After further inspection, i realized that the audio bitrate is set to 127...while the successful conversions had bitrates of 128? can tmpgenc encode avi files of bitrate 127?
It doesn"t matter what the bitrate of the AVI files are accept that Tmpgenc will not encode audio streams that have "VBR MP3"try setting the beginning and end points with the "Source Range" in the advanced settings...
I'm converting an avi to vcd at the same time using Virtual Dub to frameserve subs to the movie, but after 2 minutes Tmpgenc closes down with no warning or error messages. Anyone has experienced anything like this and has a possible solution. It closes down at same spot in the movie, but there is no error when i watch the avi.
I have imported an "Pinnacle DC10+"-AVI file for converting it into MPEG1 for an VCD. But the result is much too dark. The changing of brightness and contrast (and even gamma correction) does not bring out the results i wanted to have.
What can i do for having an correct result. Other encoders are working with the correct brightness but the quality is very low. So i would be pleased to have TMPG work.
In v2.59 there is a new feature, the chained files or "open sequence as movie". I enabled it, renamed the files to DV-0001.avi and DV-0002.avi, but TMPGEnc only encodes the first file!
Note I did not add the .avi as the files were AVI type already. Sorry if I state the obvious but it worked for me. All you then do is select the DV-0001 file and automatically found the second file and I assume any further ones had they been named.
Thank You for your advice, but it still won't work.
1. Under ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGS I select "Open sequence files as a movie",
2. Then with BROWSE i open the first of three files called DV-0001.avi.
3. Then I LOAD a VCD (PAL) template.
4. I press START.
5. TMPGEnc encodes only the DV-0001.avi file and stops.
Sorry to state the obvious, but are both files the same type? What is different about them. We don't know enough about the new feature, but I can imagine if you're files are way different like different FPS, different type of codec, different resolution, etc. maybe that would cause TMPGEnc to refuse to chain them?
