I just upgraded my Windows Media Player 7.1 to 9.0 However, I can no longer convert any of my WMV files in my hard drive to MPG. The error message indicates the file is unsupported or can't be open. I had no problems converting my WMV files when I was running WMP 7.1 Does someone have any ideas?
Thanks!
You should NOT have installed "Media Player 9" it causes Big Problems with useing Tmpgenc and Many other Codec dependant Programs and the only thing you can do to get Tmpgenc to work Properly again with your files is to delete Media Player 9 by doing a System Restore.....
You can Not Properly Convert NTSC to PAL With Tmpgenc, if you try the Video will Be Jumpy and the audio might not be in Sync..You Can use AVISynth to do the Frame rate conversion while Frame serveing but you have to have a Good Grasp on AVISynth Script Writing..Besides that there are Programs that can do it But they don"t come cheap, doing Proper NTSC/Pal conversions takes fairly sofisticated software,some Programs that can do it are "ProCoder" "Vegas Video 4" and "Advanced NTSC/Pal Converter" and there are ways to do it with mostly Free software accept for a good audio editor but these methods take a Good Knowlege of the Software involved..Try going to "http://www.dvdrhelp.com/" and look for a Tutorial on converting between NTSC and Pal....
It can.
Change the frame rate to 25 fps in TMPG and make sure you check the option 'Do not frame rate conversion' under the advanced tab. Do not encode the audio.
You will then need an audio editor like Cooledit to change the length of the audio to match the Video then encode the audio and multiplex it with your video.
Be aware if this AVI is 29.97 fps and you convert it to 25 fps that the movie may seem like it's playing slow.
To avoid this the best way to format convert is with AVIsynth.
>IThe way you descripted is only usable for PAL-Speedup from Film-Source (23.976 fps).
Yes I do know this. I'm getting pretty fed up with your attack on every post I make!
If you read my post again, you will note that I already warned the poster that if the frame rate is 29.97 rather than 23.976 that the movie will seem like it's playing slow which is why I advised using AVIsynth.
Here it is again. This time have a good read of it.
>Be aware if this AVI is 29.97 fps and you convert it to 25 fps that the movie may seem like it's playing slow.
>To avoid this the best way to format convert is with AVIsynth.
Which was exactly the point in my post.
I was trying to give him the simplest way I could think of for converting the movie.
I did warn him that with this method there would be playback artifacts if it was 29.97. I didn't need to mention about the movie being 23.976 because if it was and he used the above method then the resulting movie would have been fine anyway.
If it likely was 29.97 and he used the above method but didn't like the results then he could use AVIsynth as I said, but I didn't want to baffle, as you say a newbie, with technical details about a program such as AVIsynth which isn't really newbie friendly if he was happy after the process above.
If not then he could post back asking for more details about how to use AVIsynth, to which I would have duly replied with the info.
My aim is to try and consider the posters knowledge and give whatever info may be relevant based on that without trying to confuse him/her.
To load Mpeg2 files into Tmpgenc you need a Mpeg2 decoder installed on yer System, Either the "Ligos Mpeg2 decoder" or the "CyberLink Mpeg2 decoder",If you install "Power DVD" you will get the Cyberlink Decoder and most codec Packs come with the Ligos Mpeg2 decoder..and there is an Odl Mpeg2 decoder that works with Tmpgenc called "M2V-VFP"..But the Best way to encode Mpeg2 files with Tmpgenc is to use DVD2AVI to make a D2V Frameserver File and a Mp2 audio file, then encode the D2V file to whatever you want(Mpeg1/2) then just Mux the audio file to the encode mpeg file, There is no need to encode the audio cuz it is allready in Mpeg format.
well i have an SVCD mpg file, and i want to encode it to a VCD mpg file, but TMPEG won't even let me open the SVCD mpg file so i can encode it to a lower format. how can i fix that?
I Did Not Say WinDVD I said "Power DVD"!! And I allready explained How to encode Mpeg2 files if you Can"t load them into Tmpgenc...I said to use "DVD2AVI" to make a "MP2" audio file and a "D2V" Project File which will Frame serve the Video to Tmpgenc, when the Video is Finnished being encoded Just Multiplex the MP2 audio file with the Video file useing the "Mpeg Tools",It is Really Quite simple, this Method is actually better than Loading the Mpeg2 file directly into Tmpgenc..But if you have the Correct Mpeg2 decoders installed then you shouldn"t have a Problem loading Mpeg2 files into Tmpgenc...If the Reason why you are encodeing a SVCD to VCD is Because your DVD Player will not play SVCD"s then you might be able to Fool your DVD Player into thinking the SVCD File is a VCD File, and you can do this without Encodeing the File to VCD and without looseing Quality which you will loose when you encode the SVCD to VCD...All you have to do is load the SVCD file into "Tmpgenc"s" "Merge & cut" with the "Video-CD Non-Standard" setting in the Dropdown Menu and Just running the File through, this will adda VCD Header to the File so when you burn it as a VCD your DVD Player will think the SVCD is a VCD and Play it..This works with Most DVD"s Players that Play only VCD"s....
This error is from Not haveing all of the Tmpgenc files in the Same folder, Every file that comes with Tmpgenc Must be in a Folder, then Same Folder and you can Not have the Main EXE File sitting on your DeskTop as a ShortCut...
I am frameserving from Premiere to TMPGENC. For some reason TMPG hangs when the .mpg file reaches 699,545 KB each time. Have looked high and low in menus and on-line without finding what the reason is. I have also changed the bitrate and it hangs at the same filesize regardless.
I'm suddenly having a major problem encoding my vcds. I use the Project Wizard just to let you know. Whenever I try to encode avi's which require TMPEG to "Judge Field ORder" I immediatley receive an "Invalid Pointer" error and cannot continue with the encode. This is even happening to files which I have previously encoded with no such problems. This happens EVERY time TMPEG goes theough the "Judging Field Order" routine, can anyone help me please?
I have tried a few tricks to get this to work (which have always worked in the past). I have tried running the avi through vdub with direct stream copy (failed), extracting the sound and video seperatley then running them through TMPEG (failed), tried clicking abort before the error popped up (very hard because it happens IMMEDIATLEY, failed also), tried extracting audio/video then sticking em back together with vdub, using direct stream copy (failed). any other suggestions? Oh I also tried changing the AVI VFW to -2 to -4 and tried changing directshow to -3 to -5, usi9ng different combinations (failed).
I did that because I was searching through this BBS for previous answers to similar questions and i kept seeing that was recommended. I'll try the other way then.
ok I increased the avi vfw and directshow settings, if i set them to 0 the video will not even start to load (it will say incompatable filetype or soemthing like that) and if I set it to -1 the same thing happens as before (except at 2% instead of at 1%)
When I do that it says unsuported file.... and i have downloaded FFDSHOW..
I have actually recompressed the avis but lost quality in the process and the audio is about 1/4 of a second off >_<
after i clicked ok on the error message and pressed start to start the process i got another error message saying something about TMPGenc.exe ..... clicked ok again and pressed start again and now it's working .... or atleast it's encoding ...
I have downloaded just about every codec I can think of, and all of my movies work(xvid - no problems), but I have recently downloaded a movie with ninja xvid in it and I cannot get it to work. It freezes TMPG and my quicktime player tells me the required compressor could not be found. This is the exact name of the file - Chicago(dvdscreener)Xvid.cd1-Ninja. Anyone have any clues? I couldn't find a ninja codec and I am out of ideas. Minion? Ashy? Anyone????
just to explain the "freezing up" that occurs in tmpg; The file will appear in the video and audio boxes, but when I began the encoding tmpg froze and stopped responding. I then went to source range and entered a later start frame and it worked.... for about a minute, and then froze and stopped responding again. So I went and entered an even later start range and it is currently working, but with 97000 frames to encode it's probably going to freeze again.
No Matter What, the File should have an "AVI" extention, if it doesn"t then that could be why you are haveing problems decodeing it..And remember when it comes to downloaded movies All bets are Off, you never know what you are getting and don"t even know if it will work at all or is even a Movie File ,I downloaded something that I thought was an AVI file and it turned out to Be a Corrupted Application (An EXE File with AVI Extention)..and other"s were Movie files But just didn"t work Properly...so allways be ware...
I am completely new to this whole encoding and VCD, etc. thing, so Ijust simply need help and guidinace on how to get started. I have a .avi film already on my computer but I want to make it into a VCD. I have already tried doing it by using the Project Wizard, but once it has finished encoding the film there is no sound. Why? Also where do I go from here to create a VCD?
