I am having problems ever since installing win media player 9.1 TMPGEnc performs an illigal opperation and stack dumps as soon as I set it to start encoding.
YES I have an Idea, Get rid of Media Player 9, it is well Known that Media Player 9 Causes Major Problems..You might have to do a system Restore to get back the older version...
Your sound is probably compressed in the .avi file. Open the file with virtualDub and select video-direct stream copy & audio-full compression mode. Then in audio you select compression - no compression(PCM). Then file-save avi. Now virtualDub saves a new avi with uncompressed audio. This avi-file can now be converted using tmpg-enc.
NO NO NO......The reason Why you aren"t getting any audio is Because the audio format is not supported In Tmpgenc or you don"t have the correct Audio codecs installed...Download Virtual Dub, then load the AVI file into it then go to "File" to "Save as WAV" now it will extract the audio in WAV format, now just load the wav file in tmpgenc as the audio source...
I'm new at this, too -- I used the LE version of Dvdit from Sonic to make my first DVD this past weekend. It was neat!
Having said that, I can tell you that MPG is the type of file you need to make the DVD -- really, though, there are several types of MPG -- you need MPG2 for a DVD. I think TMPGenc may only output to MPG1 (which you can make a VCD and also I think a SVCD with).
I have read that the paid version of TMPGenc (which encodes to the MPG2 format) is inexpensive and worth it, so you may want to invest in that.
You can also check out other low-end/freeware encoders. A great resource for this and maybe also a place to get a better answer for you question is www.vcdhelp.com
Tmpgenc Encodes Mpeg1 and 2 and SVCD and DVD are Mpeg2 and VCD is Mpeg1, Nero will Not Burn a Mpeg2 file to DVD, the Mpeg2 file has to be formated to a Video-TS Folder before Nero will Burn it...What you do is Load the Mpeg file into Spruce Up, Spruce up Might not accept the file In a Mpeg format and Might want the Video and audio loaded seperately..If this is the case you have to open Tmpgenc go to "File" to "Mpeg tools" to "Simple de-Multiplex" and Load the Mpeg file in and Click "Run", this will seperate the Mpeg file into 2 files and "M2V" video file and a "MPA" audio file....
I tried raising the directshow multimedia reader setting to 2 but it doesnt stay like that. The program always closes when I set it higher and then when I go back in to see if it is still raised it is at -1 again. I need help. Thank you.
I keep getting errors when doing avi to svcd. It either tells me invalid pointer operation, or write error after the first pass is done, or error at address ....... Please help me. I bought this product a while ago and it has always worked up until now. Thank you.
I want to be able to make short, very low bit rate MPEG movies of family, vacation, etc. for my personal web pages from AVI files imported from my DV camcorder.
In the demo version of TMPGEnc, all the parameter boxes for things like bit rate, image size, etc., that would get me to a low bit rate are greyed out.
Is this because these are disabled in the free demo version? Or are these just information display fields and they can't be set even if I paid for the non-demo version?
I just want to know that I'll probably be able to do what I want before I spend the money on the non-demo version.
The demo version worked just great to produce large, high bit rate MPEG movies, and I will probably spend the money for the non-demo version if I can be assured it will do what I want.
I tried usin the software on an older machine sonverting AVI files. It was working fine but taking forever. So I installed the software and gave it a run on a faster Machine and it refuses to load the same avi files?
The only funny thing that I have noticed is that the other machine has an older version of windows media player and can view/play the avi files, the new machine has the newest version Of windows media player with eth latest Codecs and still can't play the AVI files.
Does this have anu bearing?
If you Have Media Player 9 get rid of it cuz it will cause Major problems with Codecs and File decodeing...Doing as Lupy said will usually help with Files that will not load into tmpgenc....
Hi,
currently whenever i am encoding avi to mpeg-1 I get the error ''Read error occured at address XXXXXXX of module 'TMPGEnc.exe' with XXXXXXX' at some point during the process, which causes my encoding to stop and the need to start from the beginning again. I am not sure how to fix this and was hoping that someone may be able to explain what i am doing wrong and how to prevent it...thanks in advance
Hello, I noticed some tutorials at VCDhelp.com used TMPGEnc's Project Wizard so I followed step by step. When I clicked on Start to start encoding, in the middle of the screen says "Analyzing". What does that mean? The numbers to the right of the blue progress bar at the top says 0/----- (of course the - means numbers). Does that mean it's only testing?! Because I have just spent about 5 hours "analyzing"...how can I prevent analyzing?
Analyzing means that it's going through the first pass to see where it should apply the highest bitrates to achieve the average bitrate you asked for. When it's gone through one pass, it'll do it again for real and the analyzing tag will go away.
CBR is "Constant Bit Rate" Maning that the Bitrate stays the same through the whole File...2-Pass is a VBR method Meaning "Variable Bit Rate" it analizes the file in the First Pass to determine when the Bitrate should be used to Produce the best quality while trying to Achive the average bitrate that you set in the Bitrate settings...2-Pass is Usually the Best quality setting But Not really with Tmpgenc, you can get Just as Good Quality in most cases useing the "CQ"(Constant Quality) setting, which is a Type of VBR setting But it is Difficult to Predict the Final File size...
I'm capturing some of my laserdiscs to burn to svcd. In messing with Raiders of the Lost Ark, I've come across a problem that seems to be a deinterlacing / inverse telecine artifact. On some scenes where there is alot of heavy horizontal lines, the video goes crazy for a few seconds then settles out. A good frame looks like this:
Note again the windows and also the new jaggies on the desks and other straight edges. It looks nasty when playing the video in real time. It jumps in and out between good and bad.
The original .avi files (captured with VirtualDub using Huffyuv v2.1.1 compression at 640x480) show no signs of problems.
I've found that I can eliminate the problem by changing an Inverse Telecine setting. Under Setting, Advanced, Inverse Telecine, Auto-Setting, the default "deinterlace set threshold" is 300 for deinterlace method of Even-Odd field (field). If I change it to 400, everything seems OK.
Any idea what's going on and why changing that setting seemed to fix the problem? Will changing that cause me any problems down the road?
These Artifacts should Only appear on your Computer Monitor Cuz The Monitor displays a Progressive Image so it doesn"t Display Interlaced Material Properly..it should Look fine on your TV ...Or you can Just use a De-Interlace Filter..You can"t use "Inverce Telicline" On NTSC Materal...Inverce Telicline Will only work Properly on Material that has Been Previously Teliclined From A Progressive Film Source...
Hi friends,
I have firewire card for my DV camera. Is there any method or peripherals that I can connect my VCR to that card to catch VHS vedio to PC to produce VCDs (without using DV camera). I am new bee to this. So can you educate me how to do it, if it is possible to produce VCDs from VHS thru firewire card. Advance thanks.
Some DV Cameras Have RCA Inputs in them that will let you Plug in your VCR and then it will Convert the analog Signal to a Digital Signal...Or you Can Buy a $20 analog Capture Card to capture from VHS...
