TMPG is able to start up on my Windows XP system. However, when I trigger an encoding task, it simply close totally; not in the task manager at all. Any advice? Thanks.
I have experienced this problem before on a Win 2k machine. TMPGEnc is crashing most likely due to a codec problem. It might help if tried to reinstall the particular codec. If you post what codec your file is encoded with perhaps we could give a more specific answer.
I folks I hav been trying to get DVD Author to Burn Video_TS Folders to DVD But it doesn"t see My Sony DRU 500A Burner, When I go into the Help files that Burner model shown there is the same model that I have But it doesn"t work on Mine....Does anyone know how to get It to work....Cheers
Got warning "The video GOP is too long" while importing an MPG into DVD Author 1.5.13.44. Strange: the MPG was created with TMPGEnc Plus 2.513.53.162 and *standard profile* (Project Wizard/Video-CD/PAL/Standard-VBR).
If you realy used the Standard-Template, it must be OK.
But you wrote Standard-VBR. VBR isn't alowed for VCD-Format-Videos on DVD. They have to be encodet in CBR (max Bitrate 1850 kbps Audio+Video).
Hello guys, question, what is a very good quality low cost DVD-R media? I use Prince but the quality is not consistent some of the DVDÃÔ have problems such as blocking, freezing etcEwhile others are just fine.
For the best quality and consistency there is no better than RITEK disks, usually under the DATASAFE brand, Datawrite and Bulkpaq also have one made by RITEK, DATAWRITE are also made by Princo and may be the best deal for the price.
Some people say Princo disks work fine others have less success which are also made under DATASAFE brand.
Don't be tempted to buy the low priced disks because they are not Grade A disks and in the end you just have more problems with them and plenty of coasters.
Always buy a Grade A disk.
Here is a site which has the RITEK disks under a brand called CloneDisc, these are the cheapest I have seen in the UK for the RITEK disks yet and well worth the money, unfortunately are available in the UK only at the moment. http://www.dvd-and-media.com/dvdr%20media.htm
I have had some really Bad Luck with DVD Media ,I rescently bought 20 DVD-R"s for the Unreal Price of $8 but when I finally got the disks and tried them they were total Crap, I would burn a Movie on the didk then put the DVD I just burned back into the DVD Drive on my PC and it couldn"t even read the disk that it just finnished Writeing, I have burned about 5 of these disks so far with not a Single one working...I have had Pretty Good Success with "Sony OEM" DVD-R"s and they are Quite Cheap anywere from $.75-$1.25 each on E-Bay and I have had Success with "Memorex" DVD-/+R"s But they are about $2-$3 each and I have some Totally generic 1 speed DVD-R"s that I got for about $1 each, they have no Brand Name that I can find But I haven"t had a Failed Disk yet accept a Couple of the DVD"s would have the Ocational Little glitch in it while Watching the Movie...But From what I have heard Ritec are Probably the Best You can get for a Cheap Price....Cheers
Hello Ash, why did i know ritek's would be your 1st choice, :), anyway very good information. The site you gave me (blankcdr.com) is a good site it has the princo on there that i am buying, cheaper. I do use riteks but only for my master's, i think that maybe i will start coughing up the extra bucks to stop the boomer rings! Thanks again ash!
Thanks Minion, i think your right about the riteks, i have used a lot of riteks to keep my masters on and have burn quite a few, i can't remember a single issue with the riteks, only that they are higher in price.
The strange thing is that both seem to be the same supplier, yet the first is cheaper and has slightly cheaper shipping even though they use the same service.
I've tried several Disc-Types. The best ones are manufactored by Matsushita. Unfortunatly, you have to have a Disc to get the Information about the Manufactorer.
As an example: I have several Discs from TDK - they are from different Manufactorers. And they are not the same quality.
I've also tested some cheap Discs (Princo), they are junk.
I have some Genaric Disks that seem to work pretty good and they were Only about $0.75 each But I don"t know what Brand they are ,So is there some sort of Program that can tell you the manufacturer of the Disks?? and if there is can you please tell me were I can find it?? ThanXX
I agree, Princo wouldn't be my choice either. Ritek are generally considered the best and have to agree, far better to pay the extra and get no coasters.
I have a question about the file size of the mpg files made. I'm converting an avi file and a separate wav file into svcd format. The length is 21m 24s. Using 2 pass vbr and an average video bitrate of 2350 kbits/s and an audio bitrate of 192 kbits/s should give me a file of about 395 mb. Thats what it says in the estimated file size in tmpgenc also. However, the file it creates is only around 363 mb, which happens to be about the size if i just encoded the video. The audio encoded would be around 30 mb, adding up to the around 390 mb size. The mpg file does have the encoded audio though. Does anyone know why the file size is less than what it should be?
Well i'm just wondering why the file sizes don't calculate correctly. So i want to know if it's actually encoding at less than the average video bitrate it says.
I is Quite well Known that Tmpgenc does not have good bitrate controll so the Bitrate will vary a Bit from what you set it to which will make the File size vary a bit also, and there isn"t much you can do about it....
Hi, after i've edited a scene at the end of my movie, audio sync goes out by about 1 second. Other edits have been fine. The audio is uncompressed to wav.
Anybody got any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks
What do you mean you edited a Scene out of your Movie?? Useing what Editor??? You can"t use the "Merge & Cut" to edit mpeg files with Wav audio ,If you are talking about the Source Range"s "Cut Editing" then I would sugest editing the Scenes after encodeing the file or even better is to edit the Source file before encodeing, If it is an AVI file then Virtual Dub is good for editing AVI files....
I am having a problem with dolby digital 5.1 sound. What happens is I can only bring in certain clips that have AC3 but sometimes I get audio differs error and there is no audio when I check in clip settings. I have triple check that there are all Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. Anyone know what his might be?
Got similar problems, with demultiplexed AC3s, sometimes. A small program named AC3FIX does the trick, usually. Try to search for it via Google and use it on demultiplexed AC3s.
It'd be really really great if someone (either the folks here or at Pega Sys) wrote a full featured video editor. Something along the lines of Adobe Premiere, with a timeline, ability to cut/paste and rearrange parts of videos, etc.. and add some basic transitions/effects. Commercial video editing software like Premiere is too expensive and not worth it (especially since now it's only for XP), and other free software like that pretty much sucks. The programmers who made TMPGenc and TMPGenc DVD Author can definately write a great video editor, and I'd be perfectly willing to pay a reasonable price for one.
I'm running Japanese Windows 98SE, and would like TMPGEnc to run in the English language. I've downloaded and installed TMPGEnc-2.520.54.163-Free, and when run it's automatically set itself to Japanese language. Under Options -> Language there's only a selection for "Automatic," no other languages. I read elsewhere on the BBS that a variable in the TMPGENC.ini file can vary the language, quoted from ASHY; "...open the TMPGenc.ini file in the TMPG folder
Under [SYSTEM] change the 'Language ID' to: LanguageID=1033." Though, when I open TMPGENC.ini, there is nowhere the line '[SYSTEM]' nor 'LanguageID'. Any help's much obliged!
Added the line, but it's no difference. At first when I re-opened the .ini after trying it, I thought the program had cut it right off the bottom, but a second look found that it'd been moved up to between [Form.MainForm] and [Tools.QuantizeMatrix], as if it's recognized. However, it's still stuck in Japanese..
I'm REAL new to video work so please bare with me. I made a VCD from an AVI I had that plays fine on my computer but the disk I made keeps freezing when I play it in my DVD player. If I fast forward a little it resumes ok but a few minutes later it does it again. At the end of the movie the sound was WAY out of sync with the video. Any help I can get would be great!
Thanks,
Z
One is you may not have formatted this MPEG correctly.
When you create a VCD you must use the correct VCD template. If you did, but you split the MPEG then you need to choose the correct stream type when doing so, you need to select 'MPEG1 VideoCD' DO NOT leave it at default.
Second, do not burn the disk at high speed, you nearly always get problems with MPEGs that are burned too fast. Use a low speed, 4x is best if you can.
Make sure you burn the disk as a VCD not a data disk.
Also Bitrate Spikes Can cause this Effect but there isn"t much you can do about it if you are useing the standard VCD templat...Tmpgenc has really bad bitrate controll and I rescently make a Standard VCD for My Brother useing Tmpgenc and his DVD Player had the same effect as yours accept worse ,So I used a Different encoder to encode the movie(MainConcept-1.31) and the Movie Played Perfectly in his Player....Cheers
