POR QUE NO E AGREGAN UN CUADRO DE VERIFICACION QUE SE ENCARGUE DE BORRAR LAS PELICULAS QUE YA FUERON CODIFICADAS

In case Hori doesn't speak Spanish, the question is asking for a setting to erase the original AVI once encoded.

Daniel: please turn off Caps Lock. THERE'S NO NEED TO SHOUT!

What the hell would be the point of that? How bloody lazy!

I am moving a lot of PAL Beta material to DVD. I am capturing as AVI 720x568 as I have a Leadtek MyVIVO video card.

SLF1UB V to card A to Soundblaster Audigy 2.

1.2MB per minute!

I then encode 5 to 15 minute chunks with VBR and I get filename.m2v and filename.wav.

However I need to trim the ends of both files to match (overruns) and then merge them with other files.

How do I do this?

Thankyou

You can only Merge Files that have the Exact same specs, Joining and editing is for a Editing and Authoring program and Tmpgenc is not responsible for this..

So how do I edit the M2V and WAV?

I would need to trim say 2 seconds aff the end of each.

I will also need to join

file1.m2v and file2.m2v

and

file1.wav and file2.wav

and keep both in sync!

Whenever I do a divx or xvid to mpeg2 encode, it ALWAYS crashes. I get invalid point operation, or write error at address blahblahblah. I really need help I have TMPGEnc Plus version 2.58.44.152

1st question:
I´ve tried to convert an *.avi into a *.mpeg but at the half of the process there was something like "illegal video stream". What is this about?

2nd question:
at some files comes a message like "file cannot be open or is not supported"
Can somebody explain it to me??

thx for requests

Answer to Question Number 2= go to "options" to "enviromental settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "Direct show" to "2"...

Help please. I followed instructions to try and fit my 750Mb file onto a 80min (700Mb) CD but it isn't working. What is throwing me right away is that the movie is only 75 minutes long but the file is 750Mb.
I go into TMPG and unlock the bitrate control and lower it from 1150 to 1048 which gives me a 700 Mb file size. However when it encodes, the file size always comes back as 750Mb and I cannot burn it.
One other note is that the TMPG screen shows that it is only 93.75% of the CD capacity (since it is 75 minutes going onto an 80 minute CD) but the file size is registered as 750Mb, which is larger than the CD capacity.
Any suggestions? I have used TMPG to split a 120 minute movie into 2 CD's but this seems like a waste for this particular file.
Oh yes, if you right click on the file name to check out the properties, it says that the file is 750MB but 790Mb were used. Any ideas what this means. I just realized as I am typing this that perhaps I should lower the bit rate to try and get the second number to be 700MB.
Thanks for any help.

I don"t Know what the Problem is You can easily Fit 750MB on a 700mb CD-R, I have put up to 820mb on a 700mb CD-R useing Overburning, what are you useing to Burn your VCD"s???...And there is a Bug in the 2.59 version that will not allow you to lower the Bitrate below standard VCD Bitrates...

I am using TMPG 2.55.38 and am burning my VCD's with Roxio Easy Cd Creator 5.0 I am not sure how to overburn a CD or if I even can with software. Maybe I should try another program for burning but I do not want to go out and but another program.

I asked this question before but there is something i didnt noticed before:

Problem: Audio Stuttered
Project: Wedding Video
Application: Premiere 6 - Avisynth - Tmpg 2.57
352x240 29.97 fps
CQ min 1500 max 3000 quality 75 & 3000-6000 (2nd test)
VBV buffer 40, Motion Quality: High quality
GOP Structure - don't think it will matter
Audio - Stream Type MPEG1 Layer II - (no idea why i used II instead of I)
44100 stereo 40 bitrate

Ashy's comment:

... another important point is the VBV buffer size you have chosen. 40 is too low for the bitrate you are using. The VBV buffer size has to rise with bitrate and 40 is for standard VCD. The buffer size you should be using should be at least double that. About 112 should be ok.
If you set it to '0' then TMPG will automatically chose the appropriate bitrate for you....(end)

I retained some of the audio file that came with the video clip and inserted some music file. What i didnt notice before is that the audio file that came with the video file (DV file) was fine it's only the music files (source: cd and mp3) that i inserted which causes the problem,

Hmmmmm.....

Something to ponder for 2003.

thanks

Al

So what is the Problem?????????

i apologize for not being clear.

nwaz, the problem is howcome during playback the clip where i add a music file the audio/music is stutered, However, when it is playing a clip wherein, i did not add any music files, i just retained the original audio file i.e. voices, conversations, background music etc, this portion of the clip are all fine.

whew...

Which editor did you use to add the clips?
TMPG doesn't handle multiple streams, so after editing you may need to re-encode the whole of the audio to a single stream wav before loading into TMPG.

ASHY

Premiere 6. What it does is it re-encodes the whole audio clips, in the timeline, into one single wav file. Then i would framserve the video portion to TMPGenc and attached the audio file.

Can you extract the wav from premier and play it back ok on it's own?
I would think this is a problem with premier not re-encoding correctly to a wav.

If you can extract this wav then I would re-encode it again to another wav or try encoding the wav to mp2 audio only with TMPG and check the result.

Hi, I have a question about playing back VCD's on my DVD player. I have used TMPEGenc to create the VCD's, which playback fine on the PC. But when I play them on my DVD player, every few minutes the sound will go out of sync with the video. Then the playback becomes jerky until the sound is sync'd again.

I am already using a .WAV file from VritualDub to encode with the .AVI file.

I have 1 disk that plays okay, the others are all jerky. Could this be something to do with the 'field order' setting in TMpegEnc ?

Any/all advice much appreciated.

Are their plans to run Tmpegenc as Server -> Client Software?

I mean if i have 3 Computers and on one i have the Tmpegenc Server Software installed and on the 2 others i have a Tmpgenc Client Software installed and when i encode now a Video then the Server will split the Video in severall parts so each computer will encode a part of the Video. After all its done the Server will combine all parts together in a working video.

Or does anybody knows a Software who can already handle this?

Thx for you Answers

What you are experiencing is Quite Common with File Encoded By tmpgenc especially with Some DVD Players..This is usually Caused By Bitrate Spikes in the Mpeg file and the DVD Player can not spin the Disk fast enough to compensate for the Sudden Jump in Bitrate...If you are useing VBR VCD"s then use CBR, and if you are useing a Higher Bitrate than normal then lower it, But if you are makeing a Standatd Compliant VCD then you should Try useing a Differant Mpeg encoder Cuz your DVD Player can"t seem to handle Tmpgenc files...

during encoding with TMPG I get a read error at adress 0049E4AB in module TMPGE.exe with BB7B56FC???

Im on Win2000 with all aspi layers up to date.

Anyone know what the heck is going on.....anything would be greatly appreciated.

No problem encoding at highest quality settings with TMPG encoder. But (of course) I want to burn these files to DVD with the highest possible fidelity. That implies at or near the 9.6Mbs DVD limit.

The problem is that the MySonic DVD (authoring program (version 3.51) always "transcodes" the .mpg files created by TMPEG! What DvD authoring software should I buy that will accept without modification these perfectly legal mpeg files?

I've use the sharewhere Bitrate program which tells me that the encoding format is fine for Dvd:

TMPGE created file:
Num. of picture read: 27680
Stream type: MPEG-2 MP@ML VBR
Resolution: 720*480
Aspect ratio: 4:3 Generic

Chroma format: 4:2:0
DCT precision: 10
Pic. structure: Frame

Notes:

Same file AFTER MySonic Dvd authoring/transcoding:
Num. of picture read: 27679
Stream type: MPEG-2 MP@ML CBR
Resolution: 720*480
Aspect ratio: 4:3 Generic
Framerate: 29.97
Nom. bitrate: 7000000 Bit/Sec

Notes:

Whatever you do DONT ever let the authoring program re-encode the files Encoded By Tmpgenc Cuz it greatly Degrades the Quality...Sonic Authoring programs are Notorius for not accepting Files encoded By Tmpgenc...There are Many Other Programs that Will accept Tmpgenc files like "Ulead DVD Workshop" and "Spruce UP, Dazzle DVD Complete, Pinnacle Impressions DVD, and Many Others..I use Ulead DVD Workshop Cuz it is Very easy to use and Never Complains about the Structure of the Mpeg file I want to author...

Thank you for the advice. I never liked Ulead products before because of their weird user interface. But their new Dvd Movie Factory 2 is a complete turn-a-round. I downloaded it for only $45.00(US). It is powerful yet easy to use. It accepted the TMPGE encoded mpegII files as is, and burnt a Dvd without ANY problems. The picture quality is outstanding as compared to the hachet program Sonic MyDvd. Pinnacle Studio 8.5 is a nightmare too, for many reasons (PC Magazine reviews notwithstanding). The major Dvd software authoring companies have really blown it!

Finally after 9 months of complete frustration, I now have home videos that are a pleasure to watch.

The three programs I use for the ulimate rendering of analog video are: Scene Analyzer (AVI capture), TMPGE (mpeg2 encode) and Ulead Movie Factory 2 (Dvd burn).

Thanks!

Can any body suggest me which one is the good analog vedio capture card to capture from the VHS (VCR) to PC. The quality should be like as it is? I am a new one to this area so please guide me.

There are Basicly 2 Types of Analog Capture Cards One is Based in the Brooktree BT8*8 Chip and the other is based on the Rage Chip...Which is Better is Basicly Up to who ever you talk to , I personally use a BT878 Card and get Quite good Quality Captures from it and It was Very Inexpensive at $30-$75 depending on the Brand name,But the Thing you have to realize is when captureing Video to the Highest Quality you will need a Very Large Hard drive, I have a ata/133 7200rpm 120gb drive Just for Video capture and It only holds about 1-5 hours of Full resolution AVI depending on which Codec you use...Back to Capture cards, What you should do is Buy one and try it for a Few days and if you don"t like it Bring it back and try a differant one, I went through 4 cards before I settled on the Cheapest one I could find which actually produced the Best quality, it is a "ATI TV Wonder" but there are other that work Pretty Good like the "Pinnacle PCTV" or "ATI All In Wonder 128"...Whatever you do don"t get a USB interface Capture device Cuz the data Thurough Put isn"t high enough to maintain High Quality...Try this site" http://www.tv-cards.com/ ..it is a Good Capture card site...

Thanks...for your nice and detailed reply. Pinnacle PCTV Deluxe is USB supported. Is it good for quality? Please let me know. Can you tell me a few brand names which are good using BT878 so that I can buy it.
