Hi

I have rather lost track of the various postings about the Muxing error in version 2.59 and would very much appreciate a summary in respect of my questions below.

I intend to create PAL DVD MPEG2 files for burning with my new (when I get it) DVD burner.

Does the muxing problem affect all file types - VCD, SVCD and DVD?

I will likely be using Ulead Plugin included with MSP6.51a to start with and later DVD Workshop or Factory. Depends on features and price in the UK!

I hope ASHY or Minion can summarise the issue in relation to the file type(s) and the Ulead products?

Incidently, are there any DVD creation programs that are not affected by the Muxing error?

Many thanks

Thye muxing bug is only affecting MPEG1 files. TMPG is using the standard VCD muxing rate for all VCD MPEGs regardless of the setting. This causes problems with playback.
MPEG2 doesn't seem to be affected.

Hi ASHY

Many thanks for summarising the issue for me.

You have given renewed confidence in the program.

I am going down the DVD (MPEG2) route because all my efforts with MPEG1 did not produce a good enough quality of viewable movie.

Thanks again.

I got the error message when I tried to load saying can't load P3package.dll. How to I get the movie to convert?

Thanks
Danae

If you moved the TMPGEnc out of the folder that you unzipped it from it will do that , because that "P3package.dll" is missing or nowhere around. Did you move the TMPGEnc or delete any files that came out of that program/folder?

I got the same error message when I tried to run program out of the WinZIP window before extracting. Once I extracted all the files to a folder and ran the program, no problems.

I converted an avi file into mpg, but i don't have sound on the mpg file...
what's that problem?

thx

You probably need to extract the audio to a WAV file with something like "Virtual Dub" and use that as the audio source...

batch support for merge and cut whould be very very nice and usefull

Hello.
Batch support?
Is this relevent to my question?
Thanks,
Will

after, i've uninstall the xvid codec, but now Tmpgenc can be open,
but i can't choose the avi file to convert !

what can i do (exactly please) to use again tmpgenc ?
how can i uninstall totaly xvid codec ?

config : PIII 650 mhz windows 98

thanks
Christophe

PS : sorry for my english but i'm french and i don't use english often

Try to reinstall you XVID codec, it is some damages XVID packages on the NET, especially if downloaded from KAZAA.

Try download the "NIMO codec package" or "XVID Codec for WIN32". The last one contains AVIC (FourCC Changer) utility that will allow you to change your XVID file to be recognized as DIVX.

can u help me. nemo doesn't help. he startet the avi. when he started the convertion he gives the same message unknown or unsupported.

Find out what Codec the avi file is and get that Codec.and raise the "Direct Show" to "2".If that doesn"t work then the AVI file could be corrupted..I downloaded 3 different Versions Of a Movie called 8 Mile last night off Kazaa and every one of them was Corrupted...

When i try to convert an .avi to MPEG it says (FILE NAME} can't open, is not supported,

help me plz

go to "Options" to "enviromental settings" to "VFAPI Plugins" and raise the "direct Show" to "2"...

I am using TMPGEnc, the latest on this web. I am into a lot of basic video editing basically correction of mpgs' movies. I have a few questions to fully utilise TMPGEnc.
1) How do I use the Cut function in TMPGEnc? I only know how to Merge them.
2) What is Simple Multiplex, Simple De-Mutliplex, Multiplex, Demultiplex and demux.
3) I converted a .rm video clip to mpeg and now the sound is out of sync with the video (either video or sound is slow). Can I use TMPGEnc to correct the whole thing and how do I go about doing it.

Thanks...

Do email your reply to a_187rekordz@hotmail.com

To use the Cut function you just load in the file, Click "edit" then choose the in and out points and that is Basicly it..Multiplexing is the joining or audio and video streams and De-Multiplexing is the seperation of audio and video streams...You said that you encoded a RM file to mpeg with tmpgenc But the file Must not have been a RM file Cuz Tmpgenc Has Never Supported RM files cuz RM is Not a "Direct Show" Or "Video for Windows" format so can not be encoded By Tmpgenc....

While converting a AVI movie into MPEG it stops at 54% and keep getting " Illegal floating decimal point calculation order". Can any tell me what that means and how do I correct it? Your help is greatly appreciated.. Pete

This error is usually Caused By the AVI file being Corrupted..It is Quite common with Downloaded AVI files..The only thing you can do is go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "CPU" and UN-Check the "SSE & SSE-2" Boxes..then go to the regular Settings to "Quantize Matrix" and Un-Check the "Use Floating Point DCT"..Now you shouldn"t get the error But the encodeing will Take a Really long time Cuz you wount be utilizeing the SSE optimizations of your CPU...

I got rid of it by changing the min bitrate value in CQ settings, it seems that some values will make it display 'Illegal floating decimal point calculation order' error message. If I set it to 10 I get the error almost direct, but with 50 it encodes the avi without any problem,

I am trying to convert some .rm programmes in2 .mpg! But it is cuming up unrecognised! Can some1 tell me how to fix it please! Thankyou

You CANT encode Real Media Files to mpeg with tmpgenc Or pretty much any program...There is a program called EO-Video that will encode RM to Mpeg1 But the Quality isn"t very good with this encoder..You would be better off useing a program called "Tinra" to encode the RM files to AVI then encode the AVI to mpeg with Tmpgenc....

Hi !

I have 5.59.47.155 version, and the program crashes during the wizard, or when I want to start encoding a PAL DV movie to a standard PAL SVCD...

Is it a bug from TMPGEnc or from Windows (or both of them) ?

I hav a project with about 4 minutes of video that is broken into segments.

Each segment has text overlayed.

When I play it to tape and watch it, everything looks fine.

When I create an mpg the text is awful. It breaks up in some places, little fuzzy in other places.

Why is this? Why doesn't the text hold together? The video looks fine. Even the text that is part of the video looks fine (signs on doors, etc) but any overlaid text is terrible.

How can I overcome this?

Here is some info: I am using Premiere 6.x on a windows 2K platform. I have and AMD 1900+ with 512MBs ram.

I use TMPGEnc encoder as follows
Size: 720x480
Aspect Ration: 4:3 525 Line NTSC
Frame Rate: 29:97
Rate Control: Constant Quality
Motion Search: High

Thanks

What bitrate are you using?

ASHY

Bit Rate:

Quality: 95%
Max 5000
Min 2000

P Picture 0
B Picture 20

Have you tried adding a 0.5 or 1 pixel Gaussian Blur to the text layer (not the video? You could also try switching off antialiasing on the text.
