I have converted an XVID to mpeg in the hope of making it VCD.
The VCD plays but has no sound.
I know it uses the AC3 audio format but I converted the audio to Wav before I converted to MPEG.
I used Virtual Dub and the tutorial at dvdrelp.com.
help please :(

I tried again but got an error
"write erroe occured at address 00401C9F of module TMPGENC.exe with 05791A04"

Then use something else to encode the Wav file to Mpeg1-Layer2 audio, then just Mux the audio with the Mpeg Video file, There are Lots of Programs that can do it, I use "Headac3he" Cuz it is Very High Quality But it is Quite slow..

I'm trying to convert a DIVX AVI to MPG1 and I get no sound at all. I've tried everything I can think of including rendering the whole thing in the Microsoft Movie Maker (so it's not DIVX but straight AVI) and then using that as the sound source.

I'm considering buying the full on package but don't want to if I can't even get sound from my files.

Doing what you are Doing isn"t going to get it done, and No Quality Mpeg encoder that I know of can decode AC3 audio so if you can"t figure out how to Extract the audio to wav audio then you won"t be Makeing Any VCD"s with Any encoder, and Downloaded Movies aren"t really meant to be Made into Mpeg files, If they were they would have a more compatible Audio Format...What you need to do is Load your Source File into something Like "Virtual Dub" and use it to extract the audio to Wav format, then Just load the Wav file into Tmpgenc and encode it to Mpeg audio then Mux the Mpeg audio with the Mpeg video that you have from when you encoded the File the First time and ended up with no audio..Or you can use a seperate Audio encoder to Encode the Wav file to Mpeg and Mux it with the Video....

F.....ng pratt!

What is this Post supposed to mean???

I have WMV file 20MB and want to make MPG. But After 20% progress, the process suddenly stop, and the TMPGEnc program like hang.

Any solutions ?

Your WMV file Probably has an error in the File at the Point were it Freezes up, You can try to fix any errors in the File by useing a Program called "ASF Fix", it will make a New file while Correcting any errors in the File which should allow Tmpgenc to encode the Whole File...Because WMV/ASF Files are so Highly Compressed they are Very Prone to Errors caused by the High Compression and Usually this Program can help fix them, you can find it ona search engine like Google...But alas some files just can"t seem to be encoded, if this seems to be the case with this file you can try Uncompressing it to Raw AVI and encodeing that, you won"t loose Quality but you will need a Very Large Hard drive....

When I make mpg's from my dv-avi's, sometimes the sound is half-speed. Then I
copy the avi from dv-cmera again, and make mpg again and all is fine?!!

Any solutions?

You could allways extract the audio from your DV files to WAV then use the Wav file as the audio source, This will probably fix your problem, Or you can just use a Totally seperate Program to encode the audio....

Hi!

About crashing TNPGenc, check if you have divXAF.ax file(AntiFreeze) in windows/system32 folder, just delete or rename it. It will help immediately.
That file came with Nimo Codec pack. You can use the pack, just uncheck the AntiFreeze option.

Hope this help.

I have TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 and I tried ripping my first DVD tonight. Everything was fine until I came to playback. The DVD plays in English by default, however when I ripped it, it seems to have copied the Spanish soundtrack. Not being able to speak spanish this is somewhat frustrating. I am hoping that there is a straight forward solution to this problem. I have searched every menu I could find and was unable to find the language settings. I would appreciate anyones help with this.

If you have been foolish enough and used TMPG to encode this DVD directly then it is no wonder you have this problem.
Time and time again we tell people NOT to use TMPG to directly encode from VOBS.
If you want the answer how to solve post back.

I encoded an AVI file with titles in the beginning in adobe premiere. When encoded and played on a DVD player the titles dont fade right and the audio kinda sqeeks. If I put titles over video though everything works fine. Its like TMPEG has a problem with black video. Or video with no color??? any ideas?

I have the free trial version and after I am done encoding, the file has no video yet has only the audio. Any ehlp would be appreciated.

Try this, go to "Options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct Show MultiMedia File Reader" to "2"...You have to see your Movie slowly playing in the Tmpgenc screen for there to be an image in the File..

I've seen this question asked but am still having problems with playback on my DVD of mpeg2 svcd. I have an avi I created at 640x480 NTSC 29.97 fps. I encoded it in tmpg and burned to cd using VCD Easy. It looks and sounds great except that I have to play it back in my DVD player at 2x speed. Actually it plays a little fast. I have made certain I'm encoding with interlaced frames, NTSC format etc. and have tried dropping my bitrate. Regardless of bitrate, frame size etc I still get the same results. My DVD player definitely plays VCD's. BTW, the DVD player I'm using is a Panasonic unit for my television, not a player on my computer.

What am I missing? It has to be something simple in the setup I'm missing but I have now spent three weeks encoding and burning this thing in every combination of options I can and I get the same results almost everytime.

Thanks for your help.

Are you sure that your Player Plays SVCD"s???? And You Can not use Mpeg files with 640+480 to Burn as SVCD"s so I hope you are encodeing the 640+480 AVI files to 480+480 Mpeg2 files...And if your DVD Player is supposed to Play SVCD"s but it isn"t there Could be something wrong with your DVD Player...

Yes, I am encoding from 640x480 avi to 480x480 mpeg2 SVCD. And yes, my player plays VCDs. It even has an VCD indicator light that comes on when I play the CD. I even took a copy of this to Best Buy last week and played it in one of their top of the line DVD players and it's the same problem.

I said "SVCD" not VCD"s, Because your DVD Player Plays VCD"s doesn"t mean that it plays SVCD"s, Players that Play SVCD"s are somewhat rare compared to Players that Play VCD"s,Actually Not that Many of the Big name Brands actually support SVCD"s in Many of there Players, ..This would Explain Why you are Haveing Problems, The structure of VCD and SVCD are different and the Disk has to spin 2-3 times faster in players that Play SVCD"s as opposed to ones that Play VCD"s, so the DVD Players have to have a faster Drive in them and that Is probably why there isn"t as many DVD Players that Play SVCD"s...

Minion, you are exactly right! I dug out the manual for my DVD player and sure enough it DOES NOT PLAY SVCD. It does however play regular VCD. I then encoded my avi into the 352x240 VCD and it works!

I think my next step in the future is to install a DVD burner in my computer and go for top of the line burning for my movies.

Thanks for your help.

LOL...Nice one Minion u got there in the end mate.

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.
