hi, i have just converted an avi to dvd with tmpgenc everything went ok at the end i got my two different files (m2v+wav). then i went to tmpgenc dvd to turn the files into vob files so i could burn them with nero but when done it only plays 20 seconds of the audio. this is really enoying please help
This Board is for TMPGEnc DVD Author, not for the Encoder TMPGEnc, which is not able to handle some kinds of Audio-Formats corretly. Use VirtualDubMOD to convert the Audio-Part to WAV first.
I've just came across your free softwaredownload and since I'm looking for just this kind of software I was just glad. I'm new in this kind of area and my first 'selfmade' VCD or DVD is still light years away it seems...
I have an .AVI clip and wandted to burn that on a CD which I can play on my DVD/VCD reader of my TV set. But as soon I try to encode - you know the story from the past BBS entries. I'm relating especially to the mail exchange with Tara,2002/12/09 (Mon) 15:59 ( IP:68.2.25.26 ).
I'm positive that all DLL's are there in one folder, I start TMPGENC.EXE with a double click in the very same folder - but I get the message.
I've also tried to copy this DLL into the System and System32 folder as some of the mailing persons suggested - same effect.
I'm running Windows ME on a Intel Pentium 4 Processor.
I know this is an old issue but may I ask you to give me a hint what else I could try. Or how I can determine if this program won't run on my system?
Thank you very much in advance for your efforts,
Manfred
If you're having problems and you are sure you have extracted ALL the files from the ZIP (DO NOT RUN THE PROGRAM FROM THE ZIP) then the only advice to give you is to delete the copy you have completely from your system then download and install again.
meanwhile I found another small tool to convert AVI to MPEG.
I'll follow your instructions at a later point of time and remove everything completely and do another download and re-installation.
Because this just can't be: my computer showing me -a system programmer- the finger ;-)
Anyhow - thank you for your quick reply. Maybe we chat at a later point of time...
Suddenly I cannot open any mpeg2 files which previously would open just fine. I get a message saying "file cannot open or is unsupported." It will accept a frame served pseudo .avi file using DVD2AVI but this was not necessary before.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Also tried setting the priority of the VFAPI direct show setting to higher priority (2) with no luck.
Your using quite an old version of TMPG. TMPG has changed the way it uses third party codecs. Codecs that prviously worked in earlier versions are sometimes not accessable in the new versions and vice-versa.
My advice is install the latest version of TMPG which now comes with it's own MPEG2 decoder so you don't need to install any external MPEG2 codecs.
Yes, and i suggest to use VirtualDubMOD or AVISynth as Frameserver.
And i suggest to install the XviD-Codec AND ffdshow, because VirtualDubMOD can't use ffdshow as Decoder.
if i open avi file to convert with tmpgenc, the audio source box is left empty. If I try to open the file manually, i get the message: file cannot open or unsupported. virtual dub says that has detected an improper vbr audio encoding in the source avi file (audio stream 1). from this point i don't know what to do next !
I downloaded an AVI that uses DivX 5.0 (says so in Gspot). It won't open in Virtualdub. The following error message appears:
Couldn't locate decompressor for format "DX50" (unknown)
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable.
I selected it as a Video Source in TMPGEnc and it loaded fine. No error messages. But I just want to view the file information so I will know what to set in TMPGEnc.
I am using the trial version of the DVD Author program,,, which I really like!! However, do I have to convert my avi files to MPEG2 before I can use the DVD author app. I know to make a DVD you need to use MPG2 however I wanted to know if the DVD Author application would automatically convert my avi files for me... currently I have to use the TMPGenc to convert the file then bring the file to TMPGenc DVD Author to make the DVD.... any help would be great!
Anyone knows wy my 352x288 PAL MPEG2 file plays with interlace effects on my DVD player? I made a SVCD (PAL) with nero.
If I encode it with a 480x572 resolution the effect is gone.
The same file encoded in MPEG1 in 352x288 PAL (VCD) plays well.
What is the problem here?
I checked all the interlace settings in TmpgEnc but they are OK. The source file is a progressive AVI (non-interlaced)
Well it could be that 352+288 is a VCD resolution not a SVCD rsolution and VCD"s have to Be Mpeg1 which is Progressive so there is no interlace artifacts,..If you encoded your Progressive AVI as Non-Interlace then there is No way that you would get interlace artifacts so your AVI probably isn"t Progressive or you encoded it as Interlaced..So basicly if you are going to use the 352+288 resolution you have to Make it Mpeg1 VCD..I make VCD"s with Mpeg2 all the Time and have never had a Problem but I usually deinterlace....
Some Players are producing this Effekt on MPEG2-Videos with half vertical Resolution. Unfortunatly, there's no Trick to solve this problem. Using MPEG1 for half vertical Resolution is the only solution.
Hi, I'm converting a divx movie to vcd and everytime I encode it works fine but when I play the outputed mpg file, the movie is blank with sound for most of it. The beginning few minutes is the only part that has video. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

You Probable just need to Raise the Priority of the Direct Show File reader in the Vfapi Plugins..Go to "options" to "Enviromental Settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the Priority of the "Direct show File Reader" to "2" then encode your File and you should have a Picture for the whole File..You know if there is going to be a Picture in the File if you see the Movie in the Tmpgenc screen while encodeing...
I tried that and it did seem to work and I did see it go through while encoding but when I tried to play the mpg, it did the same thing again. Any other suggestions?
Well Maybe it isn"t the File at all ,Maybe it is what you are useing to Play the File, If it is a Mpeg2 file then you should Not use Media Player, you should use a DVD Playing software like Power DVD or WinDVD, cuz if you can see the Whole Movie in the window while encodeing the the Whole Movie should be in the file....
