hi, i want to ask you , how can i change avi files to mpg files?
when i download, it's avi, when i watch with window media player, it wont work, there are just only sound no screen......why is that?
please tell me
Are you saying that you downloaded some AVI file But when you play them in "Media Player" there is no Picture But there is sound???Well first you have to make sure you have the correct Codecs installed on your system...And if you do have the right codecs and you still don"t see a Picture in the Downloaded AVI then the AVI File could be corrupted..To make an Mpeg out of a Good AVI file you Just load the file into tmpgenc and follow the directions that the "Wizard" gives you...If you have a specific Queastion about encodeing then Please Post it....
I have a dual Xeon system, XP professional, and have enabled hyperthreading.
Now I have four processors on my System properties.
But Tmpgenc 2.59 just sees two of them - not four - and I have indeed no advantage of using hyperthreading.
So why should new 2.59 be hyperthreading-aware?
I could be aware of it only for single processor machines?
Please, let me have your dual xeon impressions...
i have matrox rt2000 non linear editing card with adobe premiere v6.0. Yestarday
i have download your tmpeg encoder v2.59 from your website. How i can encoding avi file from adobe premiere timeline to mpeg-1 vcd file. please give me some detail for install tmpeg encoder on adobe premier.
You CANT install Tmpgenc as a Plugin for Premier...What you can do is use the "Premier Video Server" or "AVISynth" to frame serve from Premier to Tmpgenc But Tmpgenc will not be a Plugin...You can learn about the Premier Video serve and AVISynth at : http://www.videotools.net/
WHY??? Because Media Player Sucks the Big one, and Probably the only way you will might able to get it to work like Before you installed it is to do a "System Restor" to Before you installed Media Player 9...Your WMV Files are probably encoded with WM7 or WM8 and the New Media Player installs the WM9 codecs....
Hi, I was about to create an SVCD, but before I started converting the file from AVI, I noticed that TMPGEnc defaults the resolution to 480 X 480 on its SVCD template. Will this fit my tv screen properly without everything being stretched?
The Standard Resolution for NTSC SVCD is 480+480...It should look Pretty Close to the source File as Long as you have the "Video Arange Setting" set to "Fullscreen(Keep Aspect Ratio)"...and Depending on the Source file"s resolution and aspect ratio there Might be Black Borders on the Top and Bottom..You can Also customize the Way the Image looks in the Frame By Useing the "Clip Frame" settings....
when I cut an mpg in two to burn with Nero, the first half is ok, and is seen in my DVD player, but the second half, which burns ok comes up unsupported in my DVD player, in my cdrom, it appears to be some sort of audio cd split up as mono, stereo and sub directoried by bitrate and frequency. I can view the second cut MPG with my creative player. Is that Nero, or something wrong with the cut.
One way to find out is to burn the same mpeg file with a Different Burning program like VCDEasy instead of Nero and if it does work then it is probably a problem with Nero and if it doesn"t work then it is a Problem with the file...
Does encode a mpg file with tmpgenc using a P4 (SSE2) give better quality than
encode the same file with a AMD Athlon ? or is it just the encoding speed
thats better with P4 (SSE2) ?
To say it this way
Is it possible to notice any difference in the quality of the video when encoding with a P4(SSE2) or a AMD Athlon ?
Im asking since cause of the claim of better Prossesing Precicison with a P4 (SSE2)...does this affect quality at all ?
Both Athlon XP"s and P-4"s are Fully Compatible with the SSE-2 Instruction set..And I don"t think it affects Quality But it sure affects the Encodeing Speed..So useing the same encoder on 2 different CPU"s will achieve the same Quality.......
Athlon XP doesn't have SSE2 at all. You're wrong.
AMD has an Intel license to introduce SSE2 on their upcoming K8/Opteron CPUs.
Next P4 core revision, Prescott, is going to have rumored SSE3 extensions.
I am using TMPGEnc to convert a DivX movie (have done the audio extract thing in VirtualDub already) to a VCD. However, it keeps getting to 1 or 2% and then I get the following message (or similar): -
"Read Error Occurred at address 0049E1A7 of module 'TMPGEnc.exe' with 400E0210"
Anyone know what this could mean? Is it just a bad frame doing this! I seem to remmeber this happening before, and I downloaded some program/file that seemed to fix it! I am very new at this whole thing, so the simpler the better ;o)
Im using XP Pro ... it's not having any of it! I have seen people talking about masking bad frames or something to stop them killing the program. But I have no idea how to find which frames are 'bad', or how to get rid of them??
What they were talking about is useing "Virtual Dub" to scan for Bad frames or errors in the AVI file then use it to frame serve the avi file to Tmpgenc and Virtual Dub can mask the bad frames while Frame serveing...Sometimes just frame serveing the file to tmpgenc instead of loading the file directly into tmpgenc will work better....
Okay, so I managed to get the VirtualDub to TMPGEnc frameserve to work. It got alot further (to about 20% as opposed to 2%), but it still brought up one of these "Read Errors" in the end!! Grrrr. Is there another way to get rid of these?
Were did you get the file from??Cuz if it is a Downloaded file from the net Then the file is Most likely Corrupted and Tmpgenc doesn"t handle corrupted files very well..You can allways use a Different encoder..Or you Mught be able to Repair the File with Virtual Dub By makeing a "Direct Stream Copy" of it but that might just copy the errors in it also..Downloaded Movies are the source of Most Problems when it comes to encodeing with Tmpgenc, then best way is to Get a DVD Rom and Rip DVD"s, that way you allways get the best Quality possible and hardly ever have problems...Sory I can"t help
Yeah ... it is downloaded I'm afraid! I'll have a crack at the direct stream thing, and see if I can find any other programs that are a bit more tolerant of dodgy frames!
Cheers for that ASHY. I have already tried raising the priority, but it didn't seem to make much difference. I am running it through Panasonic MPEG Encoder as we speak to see if I have any more luck with that?
I'm encoding DVD into VideoCD (I feed the d2v file obtained from SmartRipper ->DVD2AVI conversion to TMPGEnc and expect to get MPEG-1 VideoCD compliant stream at the end. Conversion works great, with no macroblocks (general picture quality is professional enough), the only thing that bothers me a lot is that there is often a lot of noise, represented by random dots around small objects in a scene, almost like little flies are circling around people. They usually do not appear in static scenes, only in dynamic ones. Now, I love the absence of macroblocs, but hate those artifacts. I can turn on the temporal filter to the maximum (100), but that blurs the picture a little bit. Any advice?
These random dots, do they look like a sort of haze around objects, almost like mosquitoes? If this is the case then I'm afraid this is just an artifact of VCD.
VCD bitrates are far to low to be artifact free and this one can only be removed by raising the bitrate higher.
I have a TMPGEnc-2.59.47 and try to open all the files like m2v or mpg but it's not working. It saying can't open or unsupported file and or illegal stream format. I can't open or Merge & Cut in TMPGE and can't even play on Window Media Player too. I could play those videos only in PowerDVD.
Need help....
Check your VFAPI plugins for the Cberlink codec. Power DVD should have installed this. If it's not listed then there is a problem with the Power DVD installation as media player should also be able to use this codec.
If it is listed then the other alternative is to load your file into DVD2AVI and create a d2v file then load that into Tmpg.
the streams may be also somehow corrupted or whatever like happened to me. Still sometimes Vobedit or Mpeg2VCR have been able to split streams from it to me.
i ripped the sound and put both to do the conversion. the firt part using the source range went perfect, now that im tryin to do the second part from the middle to the end it doesnt work there is about a 12 second lag. i put the delay in but still it doesnt work. anyone know a solution thanks.
This is sort of Common when useing the Source range..You can try starting to encode from a Different point or what will probably work better but take much longer is to encode the whole movie into one file then split it into 2 parts useing a Mpeg editor...
Use the MPEG Tools in TMPG, File>Mpeg Tools>Merge and cut.
Simply add your MPEG1 file, edit it select first half, pick a name and hit run.
Select the second half, change the name and hit run. Done
would like to know if it worked?
as i tried this,i thought it worked fine but the new halfs began with audio then the audio disappeared!!
so i suggest you check the audio to the end!!
