Ok, so I had the P3package.dll problem as well. My problem was that I didnt extract all of the files into a new folder and I was just running the exact files that it downloaded. When you go to extract it, change the output directory so that it is in its own folder and not just the desktop. It should work then.
I have a file, "Orange.County.DVDRip.DivX-DOMiNiON.avi" which works just fine. However, when I attempt to convert it to MPG format, using TMPGEnc 2.59, the audio disappears......there is no audio stream visible when setting the source range, nor is there any sound on the completed conversion.
You should Maybe look through other posts to find your answer Cuz the answer has Been posted Many Many Times...The audio in the AVI file is probably AC3 or some other format which Tmpgenc can not decode..You need to decompress the audio to a WAV file with something like "AVI-Mux" or Virtual dub, then use the WAV file as the audio source....
when i load an avi to virtualdub a message saying " virtualdub has detected an improper vbr encoding in the source.....it may introduce up to 14128ms of skew from the video stream...". what does it mean? what should i do about it?
This means that the audio is "MP3 VBR"..and if you make a New file with it the audio will go out of sync...I think there is an option that will alow you to just change the header without changeing the actual Audio file...This is Probably more a Question for the Virtual Dub Forum....
just ignore that popup and rip the audio to a wav file from the file popdown menu and use tmpgenc to put the video and ripped audio together. always works for me.
I used someone's advicing on using AviMux to extract the audio last time. I left the preroll and interleaving settings at default(not at 100ms), the wav played fine on the computer but when burned onto a CDR, it gets kind of choppy on the TV. How can I correct this without re-converting? I just remembered that I forgot to multiplex the converted file so that it's a non-standard VCD. Would the audio get better if I went and multiplexed it?
Your post is unclear.
Are you saying you created the wav and it plays ok then used this as your audio source to convert to VCD?
What do you mean you forget to multiplex it without using then non-standard VCD setting? Why do you need to multiplex if you have used the wav as your audio source when you encoded.
Does the VCD play ok in the PC?
Either way it is unlikely that the audio is your problem. Once encoded the audio becomes a standard .mp2 file.
Your problem is more likely due to some other setting you have changed. What video bitrate are you using?

No, because I was unable to extract the WAV file in VDub for some reason, I used AviMux to extract the WAV file from the AVI file. I used the source AVI file as the Video Source in TMPGEnc and the WAV file as the Audio Source. MPEG Obession (on this board) said that the audio was AC3 so it couldn't be extracted in VDub. When extracted in AviMux, I used an Audio Preroll of 750ms and an Interleaving of 1000ms. After I finished converting with an average bitrate of 1596-kps at 2-pass, the MPEG1 file can be played with Windows Media Player without problem. The audio and video is in synch and at great quality! I was wondering if I needed to go multiplex the file to Non-Standard VCD because it doesn't use the standard VCD settings. After I burned it to VCD with Nero 5, on the TV, the audio becomes choppy. On the computer, it was fine!
If you are creating non standard VCD then you should ALWAYS use the 'Non standard setting' otherwise you may have problems. The muxing rate for standard VCD is not the same for higher bitarte MPEGs.
Re-mux your MPEG, but *DO NOT* use v2.59. Use an earlier version. v2.59 has a bug in it's muxer.
If the above does not work and the wav plays ok on it's own in media player and as a movie file in media player and not in your DVD player then I'm afraid there is only one reason for this.
The bitrate you are using cannot be handled by your player.
VCDhelp.com has a list of DVD players with Max bitrates they can handle.
I've got a movie in MPEG format that is too large to fit on one CDR. I'm trying to split it using Merge & Cut. When I go to excute the cut, it only creates a file with a few minutes of the movie and not the almost 80 minutes that I had intended to create.
Any ideas if I'm doing something wrong. I'm pretty new to this stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You either need to Have the correct codecs installed OR go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and raise the "Direct show File Reader" to "2"....
OK. I am trying to convert a SVCD into VCD (MPEG2 into MPEG) using a combination of dvd2avi and TMPGEnc.
I have followed a step by step guide and this was successful for disk 1 of 2.
I have tried to do the same for disk 2 but I get the error "file XXX, can not open or unsupported" when I try and specify the video source. The audio source is loading fine. I can also no longer (re)create the (already successful) disk 1 FROM THE SAME .D2V SOURCE as last time.
In between creating disk 1 and disk 2 I have had a tidy on up my hard disk. The location of TMPGEnc on the hard disk was changed (the whole folder/subfolders was moved). Could I have deleted a plugin/programme/DLL/.exe required by TMPGEnc?
As far as I know TMPGEnc 2.59.47.155 already has the required plugin 'built in' (VFAPI). The 'help about' says I have 28 day of my MPEG 2 functionality left. I have tried re-installing (unzipping!) the proramme again to a new location but again I had no luck.
You are getting this error Cuz the Tmpgenc Files aren"t all in the same Folder...All the Files that come with Tmpgenc have to be in the same folder and Not Just sitting on your Desktop...
I am having trouble using the new 'automacic' setting for bitrate when trying to make a SVCD, under the old version I just selected my disk size (in wizard) and then entered 100% in the file fit to disk box and the bitrate was adjusted accordingly. However now, if the bitrate should fall to below 1600 by trying to get it to fit on one disk, it reverts back to 1600 regardless of whether the auto box is ticked or not. I have even gone into 'expert' and lowered the average bitrate required from 1600 to 1150, but it still reverts back to 1600 anyway.
Am i missing something here?
Any help would be appreciated.
So you are Trying to make a SVCD with a Bitrate of 1150kbs???You have to realize that the quality of this SVCD with Be Just TOTALLY TERRORABLE...with a Bitrate that Low the Picture will Not even be Recognizable as a Image at all, and Tmpgenc Probably realizes this and Will not let you do it while useing the Standard SVCD Settings...You can change the bitrate to what ever you want if you Load the "Unlock.mcf" template from the "Extra" folder...You Can"t use the Wizard for this....
I have created many NTSC DVD backups from my purchased collection, but this problem has me stumped. Long movie (147 minutes) re-encoded as follows:
SmartRipper
DVD2AVI – Forced Film, Dolby Digital, Save Project.
TMPGEnc – Load Project, ES (Video Only) Progressive Input, NTSC Interlaced output VBR max 8000, min 2000, average 3700, enable padding. DC 10, High Quality...
The Video comes out fine.
IFOEDIT – DVD Author with my ¡Èmovie.m2v¡É and ¡Èmovie.ac3¡É.
The above has worked with 10+ of my longer movies. This one though has some annoying audio hiccups (fraction of a second with no sound throughout the movie) when played back through my Optical Dolby Digital connection to my receiver. If I switch the audio to the RCA connectors and playback as Dolby Surround, these hiccups pass without near as much notice. I have used the same media and recorder as the other ones that work and have not seen this problem before. Any Ideas?
Are you encodeing the audio with Tmpgenc??? If so then try Not encodeing the audio at all and keep the original audio from the DVD...Use DVD2AVI do de-Mux the audio stream you want then just encode the Video, then Mux the AC3 audio with the encoded Video.....
I am guessing here without further info, but I would bet that it is purely down to bitrate and resolution. The original file, if 'uncompressed' would probably be 2-3 times the size of the VCD mpeg you are making, therefore you must expect 1/3 of the quality.
post more information if u can, as i might be missing the point.

If you are Makeing a VCD then you have to Realize that VCD is not a Very Good Quality format Cuz of it"s Low resolution and Low Bitrate...You might try raiseing the bitrate, but then you will get less Movie on a CD-R..Or make a SVCD.....
