#1.I'm trying to create a 4:3 PAL S-VCD wich is based on an AVI (DIVX 576x432) anime but there is a problem with the screen size. The picture is nicely and fully displayed (stereo sound is good too) but in the bottom of the TV screen, the top of the picture is displayed again. So the anime is displayed twice. I am a newbie with TMPEGenc plus 2.59 so i'm trying various screen size settings to fix this problem, but it takes many time. Maybe anyone can help me.
A>I used Windows Movie Maker in order to create chapters on the S-VCD (a PBC menu is created with Nero). The original AVI has been reencoded to a DV-AVI PAL 720x576 AVI file.
B>Last, the file is encoded to MPEG2 standard with TMPGenc2.59. A DVD PAL MPEG-2 704x576 CQ 65 mpeg file is produced.
C>This MPEG2 file is burned on a regular CD-R with Nero 5.5. The soft display a warning message : the file is not compatible with the Nero S-VCD standard. I select "unset compatible format" and burn it anyway.
The S-VCD work, including the PBC menu but the movie is displayed with a double screen...
#2.Moreover, does anyone knows if the next version of Nero will allow Schockwave SWF as background instead of the atcual BMP. It will be great if Ahead release this, we'll be able to realize animated menu like the DVD ones!
Anyway thanks for TMPEGenc plus that is a good tool.
I have two movies that are encoded mpeg1 with various parameters that are not correct for VCD. When I load up the video cd template and try to convert them the resulting movies are encoded correctly but the last 5+ minutes is cut off. What am I doing wrong? I opened the file with VirtualDub and the amount of frames is higher in vdub than what is listed in TMPGEnc but I have no idea how to resolve the issue...
How can i make chapters when I converting to Mpeg2 from Avi.
I want to choose how long it will be.
I know how to convert just this option I dont know.
Thanks
I was used to TmpgEnc with win98se and had no real pb.
I now want to use it on win2000 pro sp3 in a simple user or upper user session. but the system refuse to launch the program.
(it works well when logged as administrator)
I tried to edit rights and security for the soft and for this user, but I don't found how to make it work. (I don't want to give admin right to lambda user!)
Is there something particular to configure I missed ?
Is it that TmpgEnc is so structured that it needs admin rights on each use ?
(sorry for my english, I don't practice very often )
Solved:
the pb was the temporary file pointing to a folder inside "My documents" which is a controled acces.
the solution is to choose an "all users" folder.
i'm very new to all this so please excuse me if this is a dumb question.
i used the merge tool under mpeg tools to merge two mpeg2 files but when i opened the newly created mpeg file, there was no sound. i'd appreciate any help you can offer.
Another note is that you do not need to re-encode the audio.
Just goto the MPEG tools and use the simple multiplexer. Load your new DVD MPEG into Video field and your SVCD MPEG into the Audio field, name the output,
Choose 'MPEG2 program(VBR)' as the stream type and click run.
A new file will be created with the new video and original audio.

Sorry ignore this, just realised you are creating DVD. The sound will have to be re-encoded to change the samplerate yo 48khz. Please follow the previous instructions, but you will only need to re-encode the audio part with TMPG then multiplex with the DVD MPEG.
If some onecould help me with my problem I would be very grateful as I am getting nowhere. I used the search function but my problem does not seem to be addressed.
I have two segmented files captured at 480x576 using Huffyuv under VirtualDub each of about 19 minutes each that I want to frameserve to TMPGEnc in order to create one 38 minute SVCD disk. As a newbie I understand that Avisynth is the best for joining such segmented files but I can not get all the avs scripts to load under TMPGEnc. (I normally frameserve a complete 38 minute segmented file using the VirtualDub Proxy.) Only some of them will load. Those involving segmented avi will not. They will run fine under VirtualDub but under Windows Media player 6 (Win98 default) the video and audio is out of sync, though they do run.
I have installed ReadAVS and unchecked all the plugins except Avisynth/VirtualDub script reader v0.1.
In essence, the following script will work:
AVISource("C:SafeCapture2.avi") + AVISource("C:Capture2.avi")
This script will not and I get the usual " . . . can not open or unsupported message."
AVISource("D:Disk3A.00.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.01.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.02.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.03.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.04.avi") + AVISource("D:Disk3A.05.avi")
This is only a test for the first segmented file and it won't load, yet I used the same syntax as the script that will. As I said this script will load into VirtualDub and Windows Media Player. I have reinstalled both Avisynth and TMPGEnc.
Forget AVISynth For this..Tmpgenc can now Load segmented files, as of Version 2.59 you just have to name your files like "File#001.avi ,File#002.avi ECT" and the files will load in order Just like AVISynth would do it..But you have to First open Tmpgenc and go to "Options" to "Enviromental settings" and Put a check in the box next to "Open Sequence files as Movie" and that is all you need to do and it will open segmented files with tmpgenc...
Thank you for such a very prompt reply. I am using 2.59 and your instructions work beautifully. I spent two days trying to get it going and you solved it for me in minutes. I have a great deal of respect for people like you who spend your time freely helping others who, like me, lack your ability.
I am trying to encode some anime that is a divx avi into a vcd format. i know i am doing it right because almost all of the files i convert work properly, but there are a few files that will convert from 200megs to an 850meg mpg file. is it a divx issue or tmpgenc issue. can anyone shine a loght on this.
I understand what the Problem is...What is so strange about a 200MB DivX file going to a 850MB Mpeg file??? The Size of the Source File Has Nothing at all to do with what the size of the resulting Mpeg file, what Matters is How long the Source file is and The Bitrate used to encode the file to Mpeg....
i understand what you are saying, i should have put that it is an episode, anywhere from 20 to 24 minutes a piece. that is why i am confused about the size of the file....
Yes you can ..but the best way to do it with this Program is to First Use DVD2AVI to Make a D2V file from the Video and it will De-Mux the audio.. then load the D2V file into Tmpgenc as the Video and Don"t encode the audio Cuz the audio from the SVCD file is allready in the Correct Format for VCD and encodeing it will Just degrade the Quality..and select "Video Only" in the "Stream settings" ,Now encode it to VCD and when it is Done encodeing Just Use the "Simple Multiplex" in the Mpeg tools to Mux the video you just encoded with the Audio that was De-Muxed By DVD2AVI....
