hei people i downloaded a movie but i can play the movie and not hear sound.G-spot says i need ac3 codec 'ac3 (0x2000) "Dolby Laboratories, Inc". Please can any one help.I'll be grateful.Thanx
encode with directvobsub or ffdshow. I prefer ffdshow because it's more stable. on the other hand direct vobsub can encode subs below the originale movie . Comes in handy as most movies are 16:9 instead of 4:3. Direct vobsub also provides a great subresync util. but that can be used without vobsub aswell. just rebname the srt subt. file (or whatever) to <movie name>.srt. and start encoding.
Cheers.
Just look on Google for an "AC3 Filter" this should let you play the File on your PC but you will not be able to encode that audio in Tmpgenc as you will need to extract the audio to wav format first then use it as the audio source...

I am using the Trial version 1.5.11.37 and cannot hear any audio in the edit window while editing .VRO files. The sound icon does not work either. The .VOR files were created on a Panasonic DMR-T3040 hard Disc Recorder and I believe the audio is Dolby AC3. Is Tmpgenc DVD Author incapable of this audio format? The files playback fine using PowerDVD. Anyone...please help....I need to hear the audio in the edit window!
The mmswitch directshow filter is used to get the right audiostream from a Bivx movie (Bilangual Divx movie?). So more audio tracks are encoded with one movie. Using a <avi file>.mss file you can pre determine which audio track is played (used) when playing/converting the movie.
I seem to notice that most of my non-standard VCDs seem to stop a few seconds before they're supposed to on my DVD player. Is it because of Nero or TMPGEnc? It wasn't like that on the computer.
I've the problem too.
It seems that the player stops as soon as the disk is at the end but does not play the content of the intermediate buffer. Or could be the the player stops at the last I-frame of the file.
For files which I want to see right up to the end I add 2 seconds of black encoded MPG at the end...

Im trying to convert my vcd format into an mpeg2 file so i can play vcds on my ps2. I have this guide on how to do it but it says i have to load the pss.mcf file located in the TMGEnc.zip. Well, as luck has it, i dont have that file. I need a little help. If anyone knows another way to somhow play vcds on a ps2 without having to buy anything, please tell me.
There is No File with that Name that Comes with Tmpgenc...."MFC" files are Just Template Files so the file you are Talking about Probably comes with Something else...
This file is a template that doesn't come with TMPG. It has to downloaded seperately. You can find it here: http://www.sstoker.freeserve.co.uk/PS2VCD.HTML
Let me warn you before you even bother.
You are wasting your time. Firstly you will only be able to fit about 10-15mins max on one disk. Secondly for all the faffing about you are going to have to do it is wiser to just go out and buy yourself a cheap DVD player and then create real VCD/SVCD or get a DVD burner and play those on you PS2.
Recently had problems encoding a file that's not adding sound. It's never happened before, and I've not done anything different. I also tried the new version, but the same thing happened. Anyone know of a solution?
The audio in the AVI file is Probably of a Format that is Not supported By Tmpgenc, So you have to extract the audio from the AVI file to a Wav audio file with Something like Virtual Dub or AVI-Mux ,Then use the Wav file as the audio source in Tmpgenc..You should have Used the "Search" function cuz this Question gets asked all the Time....Cheers
Whoops, sorry, I should have said that I extracted the sound first. I always do that anyway. The .wav file is fine, extracts perfectly from the original AVI. It's when I try and put it back on when making an MPEG that it's not doing it. I've never had the problem before, it's just on this one movie.
How did you extract the Audio and what was the audio format in the AVI file??? If the Audio was AC3 and you used Virtual Dub to extract it then that Might be the Problem Cuz Virtual Dub doesn"t properly Extract AC3 to Wav, all it does is extract the AC3 audio as an AC3 file with a Wav header and Wav Extention..You should use "AVI-Mux" to extract it to Wav or there is a Way to Turn the AC3/Wav file that you get from V-Dub into a Real Wav file But it is a Bit complicated....
I have a question concering the settings for encoding an *avi file that you can choose within TMPGEnc.
I edited and cut a home-made video-tape with the program Pinnacle Studio 8.4. Afterwards, I exported it as an *.avi file to later encode it with TMPGEnc. When it came to chossing settings, I used the Wizard to create an SVCD-fittable format.
I used the settings suggested on www.doom9.org (excerpt: ""Normally TMPG sets these options correct by default. Let's just verify that Video source type is set to Non-interlace (progressive), field order will be Bottom field first (most likely), and the source aspect ratio is 1:1 (VGA). Last but not least the Video arrange method is full screen (keep aspect ratio)."", although TMPGEnc. suggested different settings.
After encoding and burning the movie on a CD I found the outcome to be completely unsatisfying. Since I believe this result is due to bad seettings instead to a bad program ;), I'd like to ask which settings I should use to get the best possible results.
You should only encode your AVI file as Non-Interlace if the AVI file is Non-Interlace which it Probably isn"t as Most capture cards Capture video in Fields and most Video camcorders capture interlaced material also, But when loading your AVI file in the Wizard it should analize your File and set it to the correct Settings...What exactly do you mean by the Outcome being unsatisfying?? Did you do any Pre Filtering in Pinnacle to clean up the Image in the AVI file?? as to get The Best results any Noise should be filtered out before you encode it to mpeg ,Tmpgenc has a Noise Filter But it makes the encodeing take a Really Long time so it is Best to filter before you encode...
When I convert my avi to mpeg I also add subtitles.
When I then burn the mpeg file and play it on my DVD it dosent show the bottom line of the subtitles.
I convert to VCD/PAL.
If I play the Avi file with Windows Media Player it is the same, but if I use DSD I can see it all using TV-Tool.
On the monitor I always can see it all.
Is it something about PAL or is it something with the aspect ratio?
I'm not going to explain in detail because you can get all this info by doing a search on google.
Your problem is that you are encoding the subs to low in the image. Whichever subtitle plugin you are using you should be able to change the position of the subs.
But....
I have uninstalled all other programs than Windows Media Player, so thats the program I use to see the movie on monitor. I dont know how to change the placement of the subtitles with that program.
I had another player before where I knew how to do it, but still when I burned the movie and put it in my dvd the problem was there.
Can I uninstall WMP (how?), and thenuse the other player as the only player? Will it also fix the problem with the cd's I am burning in the future?
The player has nothing whatsoever to do with the position of the subs.
It is the software you are using to create the subs that determines the position of them.
What software are you using to create the subs?
If you use the ffdshow filter leave the vertical position of the subs at 90%. They always show in both NTSC and PAL formats. Is you use DirectVobsub check you display ratio in DirectVobsub. Choose 4:3 instead of 16:9.
Perhaps this helps.
Yesterday I easily converted an avi to VCD format using TMPEnc Free.. the most recent version.
Today, when I opened TMPEnc to try to convert another MPG, I can set the avi as the source file, set the wav as the source file, and then upon trying to change any settings (setting an end frame), loading the proper file type, I get this error:
Write error occurred at address 77F83AED of module ntdll.dll with 00000000
When I try to set source ranges I get this error: Invalid Pointer Operation.
I've restarted my computer and reinstalled yet this error persists. I didn't do ANYTHING to my computer in the time between the last time I converted to VCD and the time I tried to convert this next one.
Anyone have some ideas? This is driving me crazy..
