I tried to convert a XviD.avi file but TMPGEnc always say that my file can not open, or is unsupported. I tried raising the piority of that DirectShow to 1, 2, 3,... I tried many digits but all of this caused my video to have green patches all over it... Can someone help out?
The link didn't come out correctly, so you might have to copy and past in browser.
After installing than you can take the DirectShow back up to highest priority.
Hope this helps.
I have been trying to convert an AVI file to an MPEG2 file through TMPG 5.9, and it keeps getting errors, or closes unexpectedly. I have tried this with both a 2 GB AVI file and a 400 MB file. Funny thing is, I did it once with another file and it went fine. Other times I try it, everything goes all right, but then it errors again. How can I get past this? I'm on Windows 2000, P4 2.4 GHZ.
Well I guess it would depend on that type of errors you are getting..But in Most cases if you get an error in the middle of an encodeing session it is Because of a problem with the File you are encodeing..Sometimes it is a Corrupted header or some Bad frames in the file.This is Very common with Downloaded movies...You can try Frameserveing the File to Tmpgenc with Virtual dub and you can get V-Dub to Scan the file for any errors and if there are some corrupted frames it Can mask them while frameserveing....
Is there a way to pause encoding...and resume it? I have only a PII 400...and encoding about 389 mg from mpg to vcd is going to take at least 5-7 hours....would be nice if I could do a few hours....pause it....do other stuff...then resume the encoding...is this possible?
Well Sort of..You can Press the "Stop" button ,and when the dialog box comes up and asks if you want to Quit encodeing just don"t answer and go do what ever you want to do on the computer accept turn it off, then when you want to resume encodeing just press the "No" tab in the Abort encodeing dialog Box...
been trying to mpeg 2 from AVI a pretty big file (avi is approx 8 gB) and seem to be running into a wall around the 2 gb mark...is this some real obvious limitation to windows nt 4.0 that tmpg 2.59.47 gets kinda squirrely with files over 2 gB?
Are you saying that when encodeing the Mpeg file and it get"s to about 2gb tmpgenc does something like give you an error of crash or something??? There is No Limit in tmpgenc that would make it stop encodeing at 2gb..The only limit I can think of is if the Partition you are encodeing to is Formated to a Fat16 file system, which has a 2gb limit...Explain what happens when you get to 2gb???
i had an AVI file of 8gb. I tried opening it in tmpg using Morgan Multimedia LSI TVMJPEG software codec, it comes up as grey or black. so i ran the file through Virtual dub and shortened it to approx 2.1 gb. when i went to preview the file in TMPG, i could only get to about 70-90 percent through it ie approx 2 gb worth of video.
sorry i forgot to mention the software codec, but i have used the software codec on other files larger than 2 gb in After Effects no prob.
i will check the drive to see if its fat, ill also look at the MM codec website for any otherpossible clues
Minion a while you told me you were having problems changing the framerate in IUVCR and could not raise it above 25 fps.
I have been in contact with the author about this problem and it can be solved by 'right' clicking on the 'capture format' button and adjusting the framerate through the native windows dialogue.

No, but the logical thing is to do what I used to do and many others with slow systems, encode while you sleep and in the morning you'll have a nice MPEG waiting.
If you load an interlaced File into the "WiZard" it will analize the File for the Correct "Field Order" and adjust it accordingly..But if for some reason you are still getting field order problems and you have tried reversing the field order then you might consider Deinterlaceing...
i try the 2.59 ver. and is not working with non standard vcd it keeps encoding with the standard as a result the file is way to big than the bitrate , the 98%
and file output size how can i fix this problem .
I tyr to download the old version 2.58 and it say that my trail is expire
there is any may to fix this now that already pay for lic.
or to use a early version and where to get it
thanks
If you have already got a license then it will work with any version, so you must not have a license.
There is a bug in the new vesion's muxer, which is using the standard VCD muxing rate for non standard VCD. The way to solve it is to re-multiplex the file using the multiplexer in an earlier version. This will remove the extra padding.
Most of us here Know about KVCD templates and I have tested them Extensively and Don"t like them at all...Besides the Files Not Being Compliant and The lack of I frames Makes them nearly impossible to edit or Chapter properly, and the Poeple Who Make these templates Must have some sort of Vision Problem cuz there is No way that they are Near DVD Quality,some of the Templates cause Major Blockyness and Low Definition Images..But besides that there great....lol
Actually, there are just a couple of Nay sayers in all forums I've visited, compared to thousands of YEAH! sayers. So for those who still don't believe you can get near DVD quality, go get this latest sample, and read about the things they've done at kvcd.net. Like KVCDPredictor program and a lots of cools software: http://www.kvcd.net/red.m1v thread here: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1969
As a matter of fact, the guys at kvcd.net have started their own MPEG encoder project, so with all the momentum these people have, I think they will blast away every encoder in the planet in a not too far away future. You people better keep watching that site!

Let me just tell you something about these templates.
While I think the principle behind these templates is good and they do work up to a point, I have done a lot of tests with the templates in the past and while good still cannot match the quality of MPEG2 encoding when using CCE, filesize 'v' filesize.
I will even send you the evidence. I have 2 identical clips. One encoded with KVCD and the other CCE. The file sizes are the same, but the CCE encoding is clearly better with a distinct difference of macro block evidence.
What is the best setting for TMPGEnc when converting AVI to MPEG2 format. I would like the highest quality possible. I set the CQ to 100. Max Bitrate 8000, min bitrate 2000, non-interlace. WHen I play back the Mpeg2 file, the picture have horizontal line ghost, especially when people are moving.
That is Probably because the Source IS interlaced, and that is what you are seeing...So you should set it as Interlaced and you Might want to try a deinterlace filter and Make sure you have the "Field Order" set correctly..Most video is Going to be interlaced...
If you ultimately will author the MPEG to DVD for viewing on a TV, interlaced video is the native format and will look flawless (as long as the field order was set correctly).
Better DVD player software for computers will supress some interlace artifacts but software like Media Player, which just uses a simple, decoder will not.
Even WinDVD's deinterlacing is surprisingly bad. With the horsepower in todays computers there is no reason for any artifacts to be visible, but they still are.
I totaly hear what your saying buddy, you want to get high quality cyrstal clear footage, those line..I spent a lot of time on this, use the filters, but look at a frame of your footage in the preveiw and choose the best filter, you will notice it straight away, use the highest bitrate you can a nd when you authour it and play it on your set top, you will be impressed !!!
>If you ultimately will author the MPEG to DVD for viewing on a TV, interlaced video is the native format and will look flawless (as long as the field order was set correctly).
I think this is untrue. I have tried this before with several interlaced PAL sources, which have had some sort of Telecine applied, and the produced image had a sort of strobing effect on fast moving objects (like what you would see if you move your hand in front of a TV screen) ( No these were not interlacing lines, I'm well aware of what they are)
The effect was definitely linked to the fact that the source wasn't de-interlaced though. The field order was also set correctly. As soon as I used the AVIsynth 'Bob' de-interlace filter the effect dissapeared and this did not really affect the image quality to any degree.
So while your statement may be true for some sources it isn't true for all.
Can it be defined shortly what is a difference is between simple multiplex and multiplex in Mpeg Tools?
While at Multiplex the drop down type window has veru little influence over result multiplex results.
Does this choice of type is supposed to convert streams to different bitrates?
When it's mpeg2 to mpeg 1 and so on.
If there is somewhere a good guide to TMPGenc Mpeg Tools then I have missed it!
You don"t need a Guide for the Mpeg tools Cuz there is Nothing Complicated about them..."Simple Multiplex" only lets you Mux One Video file with one audio file But the othe "Multiplex" will allow you to Mux more than one Audio stream to a Video stream...The Dropdown Menu options Tell the Multiplex what type of Header and Mux rate to use on the File that you are Muxing..A VCD Needs a different Header and Mux rate than a Plain Mpeg1 file, and The same with SVCD and Mpeg2 files....
>While at Multiplex the drop down type window has veru little influence over result multiplex results.
You will see the influence the type of stream choice has if you try to burn a raw MPEG1 file as VCD without attaching the correct VCD header using the 'MPEG1 VCD' stream type.
