some divx files i rip have only video but not audio when i rip them. Anyone have the answer?

Only certain divx files too. and theyre all of the same series. (i.e Naruto DIVX files). Can anyone help? thanks

There is No "Ripping" Involved in encodeing DivX/Avi files to Mpeg, "Ripping" Usually involves Takeing something that is On a Disk like a DVD or a CD and "Ripping" it to your Hard drive...Now to Your Problem, The Problem is Because the audio in Some DivX and XviD files is AC3 and Tmpgenc does not Support AC3 audio, You need to extract the audio from the DivX files to Wav audio files then use the Wav files as the audio source, You can do this with "Virtual Dub"....

I try to open the audio source created (*.mp2) and it cannot see it until i hit ALL files, then when i open it, it gives me a memory read error!

(The instruction at "0x77fa5016" referecnced memory at "0x000206f3". The momory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program)

thats the error and i dont understand why it cant read its own audio file! Please help!
thnx..

Why are you loading the Mp2 file in Tmpgenc??? The Only purpose I could possibly see for this is to encode the Mp2 audio to Wav, Or maybe to use the Mp2 file as the audio source for an AVI file, But if you are Makeing a Mpeg file then you are Going about it wrong,..Maybe post why you are loading the Mp2 file into Tmpgenc and then maybe I can tell you a Work around...

Thanks, I thought that if the disk capacity is 4.7 gigs then i can have a file pretty close to that like 4.6. When i go through the TMPEG wizard, it says i shouldnt have it go above 4 gigs becasue the media i might be writing to wont let me have that much. I made sure that I had clicked on the 4.7 DVD-R disk thing and everything seemed right. Why shouldnt I have the file size larger than 4 gigs?

This depends not just on the disk but on the file system.

The DVD-R burning software I use creates a file system with a 1GB max. That is why VOB files are split up. The latest DVD-RAM UDP file system allows >1GB but I don't know about DVD+RW.

Also, the 4.7GB disc rating is with 1K=1000 bytes. The OS measures file size at 1K=1024 bytes, or 4.4GB per disc.

The warning is referring to your file system limits not the limits of your disk.

If you are using a Fat32 file system the max file size limit is 4096mb/4gb.
If your expected output size of the MPEG is more than this then the file will not be recognized by the file system and will cause an error.

You have 2 options. Either convert your file system to NTFS (unlimited file sizes) or ensure the output size is less than 4096mb/4gb.

Hoping someone could provide advice.

I have a 700mb mpg file. It is however missing the first 10mb. As a result, it won't play at all, not even in TMPGEnc. I'm assuming it's because the header is missing.

Is there a way for TMPGEnc to repair this? get around it? Or maybe some other program can?

Thanks

If you can get Tmpgenc"s "Merge & Cut" or "Multiplex" to Load the File then they might be able to fix the file, worth a Try anyways....

It shouldn't matter if the first 10mb is missing or not. It should still play, unless this MPEG really is corrupt.
Is it MPEG2 by any chance and have you installed an MPEG2 codec or DVD player software?

Does anyone know how to import quicktime or framestacks(TGA's or BMP's) into TMPGEnc? The software is awesome but seems like it can only import AVI files. Is this right? Or is there some other way to do this? Thank you.

To Import Mov Files you need the QT Plugin which can be downloaded here: http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/tmpgenc.html ,And there should not be a Problem Importing Large Numbers of BMP/TGA/JPG files into Tmpgenc, You just need to have all of the Image Files Named in Numeric order, Like "Image#001.bmp, Image#002.bmp,Image#003.bmp ECT,and the Images can be exported as Mpeg1/2 files, AVI, or as BMP/TGA/Jpg Images..If you have Problems loading in Image files you might just need to raise the "BMP/TGA/JPG/ect File reader" in the Vfapi Plugins....

i still have problems with adding subs with tmpgence

it worked before

i dont know what was wrong

i have installed sldpack vobsob

and nothing else

after encoding i can see the subs but not in the whole movie

and i dont like frame serving ....... i just want to use tmpgence and vobsub

So here goes,

I have a file that is in widescreen format,(608x336 pixels). I want it on VCD, so when I mpeg it, the program squishes this enlongated file to like (250x350 or something like that) Watching the movie all TALL is annoying. What can I do to at least add black bars to the top and bottom to make it more suitable for conversion, or make it not do the squish thing?

Help,
Dave

Try "FullScreen Keep Aspect Ratio" in the "Video arrange Method" setting, or the "Center Keep Aspect Ratio" setting, try different ones till it looks right..

Did you not check the preview before or when encoding? Surely you must have noticed this.

Ensure your input aspect ratio is set to 16:9(PAL)and use 'Full screen (keep aspect ratio)' as the Video arrange Method.

i get this message every time i try to convert a movie from avi to mpeg. i'm new to this and have no clue what the problem may be. any help would be appreciated.

im guessing that you have xp because i keep getting the same problem and its ticking me off. its says that tmpgenc is performing an illegal operation.

Well, I had initial problems with not being able to open any .avi files for video (audio only), then I set the AVI and DirectShow priorities higher (1 and 2 respectively).

This caused the same error message you reported.

Finally, after searching the message board here for about an hour I found some advice to load the Tsunami Filter Pack.

Did a search and found the file. No problems since.

Hope this helps you too...

lol ive had this problem for soo long (aboutayear) and didnt know how to fix it. i'll try the tsunami filter pack. thanks.

ive got two things to say. when i got the "full" 12 mb version and installed it a window popped up and said plz insert windows xp cd. and when i went searching on my computer all of my hidden folders showed up for some reason. is this supposed to happen? secondly..............it worked! hehehe thankyou but i still think that whole insert windows cd wasnt supposed to happen.

The Reason why you get the "Insert Windowz CD message" is Because Tsunami OverWrites certain Codecs that are Part of the XP Operateing System, It shouldn"t cause a Problem as I got the same message when I first tried it...

arggh. i decided to delete the tsunami filter because the damn massage still pops up. and that stupid pack replaced my other codecs so now i cant listen to mp3s. i got nimo codec pack and it works but whenever i listen to music i hear static noise. my computer is too messed up. the message still pops up. way to be tsunami. im reformattin'.
arghh.

There is No Need to Reformat, While installing the Tsunami Pack it should ask you if you want to replace certain Codecs with ones in the Filter pack, Just answer No, and you shouldn"t have a Problem ,Or just insert your XP CD and replace the Files that were Overwritten....

Sorry, did not know this would happen with the full version.

When I went looking, the sites with the full version were all down. So I just used the minimum file (about 2MB I think).

What you might want to try is use System Restore to the point before you installed the Full Version of Tsunami. This restoration point should have been generated automatically when you started the installation.

After you have restored, download the smaller file and install it. This should fix all the problems you experienced.

One more note though, anything you have downloaded or installed since Tsunami will also be lost due to the system restore, but your data files (Word Documents, E-Mail, etc...) will still be there.

Hope this helps, and if you have any questions on how to do this just shoot me an e-mail. (krclark@tds.net)

ya i dont need to reformmat. i went through a lot of stuff and fixed the problem. hurrah. :) thanks for all the help anyway.

I've tried VCD coding a couple movies now that used the XviD codec to create the original avi's. For some reason, when the coding stops, I get a perfect video sequence, but no audio.
Any suggestions?

A Lot of the Audio in Xvid and DivX files these days have AC3 or VBR-Mp3 audio, and Tmpgenc doesn"t support these Audio Formats..You need to Extract the audio to Wav format then use the wav as the audio source....

I have some MPGEG 2 SVCD files, which are 7-800 MB in size. I need to resize them to 650 to fit CD-R size. But some of these files consequently interrupts after only around 7 minutes of the film is converted. I've solved it by re-converting them to from MPEG to MPEG but that takes a hell of a time and sometimes it even freezes before it's finished. Can somebody give me a clue to what the problem or better the solution is?

Better solution?
Just get your self some 80min cdr's. You can fit 800mb of MPEG data on one CDR and are just as cheap as 74min CDR which can fit up to 740mb of MPEG data

If you overburn you can fit about 820mb on an 80min CDR and 756mb on a 74min CDR.

Sorry forgot my email: drum6025@hotmail.com

and again if needed:I just made a little .mpg by putting an animation i made as the video and a song from my band as the audio.

The animation goes for about 21 seconds and i want to make it loop, because the song keps going. At the moment I made it , it plays once then stopps, while the song contiunues.

When i made the animation in microsoft gif animator, i saved it as repeating forever, but this makes no difference..

could you please email me with help?
Thanks in advance :)

Because Mpegs don't support this. You'll just have to load your MPEG into the MERG&CUT feature to join multiple copies of your MPEG together.
No need to make more copies just keep loading the same one until the total running time of the MPEGs matches your audio.
You can check this by clicking the edit button.
