Question - TE25 - Poor Quality Video (what am I doing wrong?) No.39244
Ryan Small  2003-09-30 03:12:09 ( ID:b8lidfiyes2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have a series of sequential still images that I have been trying to encode to MPEG1 using TMPGEnc. If I use the File>Preview option to playback my stills, the preview is very good but when encoded, there is a real reduction in quality (flickering, graininess, etc.). My input images are JPG files at 720x480 resolution. The MPEG output paramaters are MPEG1, 720X480, CBR, tested with various bitrates. Even with a very high bitrate (5000 or more), the quality of output improves but still not the kind of quality I would expect (again, the preview looks fantastic) and my filesize gets increasing larger as I increase the bitrate.

Can someone please help me? I'm not sure what else I can try.

Thanks.

If you are encoding at 720 x 480 at that high a bitrate I would use MPEG-2 instead of MPEG-1. You will get better results and it will be more compatible. For instance you, could then burn it to DVD. You might want to try "Constant Quality" instead of CBR.

Question - TE25 - Problem with compatibility No.39242
tos  2003-09-29 16:24:12 ( ID:dwkoj1fgyfg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When I tried to merge MPEG files with "MPEG tool", an error occurred that it is not compatible. Some of the files that came off my vcd won't read for some reason. How do I correct the compatibility problem? I don't understand how some can be compatible and some cannot if they came from the same vcd. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.


Minion  2003-09-30 22:49:18 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

So are these Files Ripped off of a VCD?? If so Then I have had the Same Problem with SVCD"s that I ripped off of Disk then tried to Join together in the "Merge & Cut" ...I Think this is because Mpeg Files ripped off of CD-R"s can sometimes have a Lot of errors in them and I guess Tmpgenc doesn"t like these Errors, I have sometimes been able to Fix the files by First De-Multiplexing the Files then Multiplexing them back together and then Try to Join them But even this did not work all of the Time...I found it best to Just get my self a Real Mpeg editor like Mpeg2VCR and use it to Join my Files cuz it doesn"t have Problems with some files the wat Tmpgenc does...good Luck



Request - TE25 - 2 Pass Encoding No.39239
cdd090580  2003-09-29 14:44:50 ( ID:y0q5giiuipn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'd like to have a 2 pass encoding in 2 distincs steps (like in the divx 5 codec).
I'd like this so I could make the first pass during one night and the 2nd pass next night ;)


Video Guy  2003-09-29 15:57:56 ( ID:4yfrh0hqv72 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Here is a work around:

Start encoding the first night then in the morning when you want to use your computer click the encoding stop button, this will pause it. (Don't confirm the stop when the message box comes up, just leave it alone). Then the next night, resume the encoding.

It's a good idea, but if the computer crash or an installed program needs reboot all the first pass is lost :(

Just want to say thanks to the team who wrote the new version. I have been pulling my hair out for 2 weeks due to an older version of tmpgenc crashing no matter what I did. The new one works a treat so thanks again great work



Question - TDA1 - size of dvd output files No.48784
gee  2003-09-29 06:09:27 ( ID:da1cnw7ya9. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When I do the output, it gives me the message that the files is too big to fit in a DVD so I click ignore. At exactly 66% (and it happened on 3 tries), it give me an error message box saying : cannot create more files, because this will make the volume of the DVD too big.

Is there a solution to let it create the DVD output files even though it will not fit on a DVD and I will just use one of this DVD compression software like DVDShrink or DVD2one so that it will fit in one DVD?



Question - TDA1 - DVD plays fine in PowerDVD but freezes in DVD player! No.48782
mrlucky0  2003-09-29 04:31:48 ( ID:ui/5v08mc2f )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I decompressed a .ogm and encoded that to mpeg2 using TMPenc with the DVD (NTSC).mcf template. Everything went smoothly and I authored it to DVD with TMP DVD author. When I play the DVD on my DVD player everything works perfectly but it freezes and at certain point. The specs on the encoded mpeg2 are:

File : 1.6 GB (0.0 B), duration: 0:59:01, type: MPG, 0 audio stream(s), quality: 88 %

Video : 3.30 GB, 8000 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 720*480 (16:9), MPG2 = MPEG 2 (SVCD/DVD),

Similary I tried using DVD lab to author it and it still froze at the same spot. What am I doing wrong?


B_Racer  2003-10-02 14:29:31 ( ID:0jd4rmr3tyn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If it happens with both Authoring Programs, one guess is the Bitrate-Setting in TMPGEnc. The Default Min-Setting is 0 - for some Players, that's not good. Make a new Video with a higher Min-Setting (1374 kbps). Maybe this works.

dwforslund  2003-09-28 22:15:51 ( ID:lkwi3nmjxjl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I tried to add a DVD-Video and selected the title to add as a clip
and after thinking for a while, a window popped up: "Could not initialize
decoder" I have no idea what the problem, whether it is audio or video or how to work around the problem. Others seem to have been able to use this go import
an existing DVD, but this seems like an obstacle. Any suggestions/answers?

Thanks

This happened to me on a file that had buffer underflows. I processed it with TMPGEnc Merge&Cut and it fixed the problem. It was a mpg file, not a dvd file so it may not work for you

Andy  2003-09-28 17:53:41 ( ID:6wnqjspl3er )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Tmpgenc recognizes the sound of my avis but when i try to input a video it says it cannot open or is not supported, why?


Minion  2003-09-28 21:14:14 ( ID:w8yn5mktf8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

First Make sure that you have the Correct codec installed for the Files you are encodeing, then go to "Options" to "Enviromental settings" to "VFAPI Plugins" and Raise the "Direct Show File reader" to "2"...
But if you are useing the Newest version of Tmpgenc then raiseing the Priority of the "Direct show" to "2" might make the Audio not be supported because they changed the way the Direct show File reader works in this version and it will only accept AVI files that have wav audio so if that happens you will have to extract the Audio from the AVI file to Wav format and use that as the Audio source.....Cheers

Question - TE25 - Tmpg Freezes at very end No.39234
mrlucky0  2003-09-28 04:12:43 ( ID:ui/5v08mc2f )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am encoding a .avi to mpeg2 for dvd and at the end, where time remaining=0 and status is 100% it freezes on me. I've tried waiting for a couple of minutes and gave up. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?


ashy  2003-09-28 12:02:33 ( ID:n2grn9uovqo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just try waiting longer.
TMPG is writing the headers and sometimes this can take a while with some movies. Go and have coffee or something.



Question - TE25 - Nero won't burn 695MB No.39230
smash  2003-09-27 22:01:01 ( ID:e2uts.txn3w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The file is 695MB and Nero says it's 79.20 sec so it should fit onto a CD [CDs are of course 80 min]. So when I try to burn it says that there isn't enough space on a disk. Any suggestions?


smash  2003-09-28 02:47:47 ( ID:e2uts.txn3w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Found a solution... newest Nero has a bug [6.0.0.15] but there's a patch. If anyone has the same problem - get the patch.


cd090580  2003-09-29 14:28:54 ( ID:y0q5giiuipn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I've alsso this problem, then I applied the patch but it doesn't fix the problem :(


bernd_b  2003-09-30 12:53:17 ( ID:vpw0w/u9582 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Sometimes the problem is that under the last tab the wrong stream type is choosen (something with mpeg1 or mpeg2 system/vbr, but you need video-CD odr SuperVideoCd for authoring)

Hello.
I try to convert div x avi file to mpeg but no sound
what can it be?
thanks


ashy  2003-09-27 16:01:16 ( ID:4adzcnohuc. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Ac3. You need to extract to a wav first.


blof  2003-09-27 17:10:35 ( ID:g5kh35qdxdj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What do you mean? cant it take the sounds from the div x file?
And how do i do it? where i dl ac3? is it free?

Thanks.


ashy  2003-09-27 17:16:00 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Your audio is probably Ac3. TMPG does not handle Ac3 audio so you need a program that can extract the audio to a wav file which you can then use in TMPG for the audio.

Virtualdub _ac3 or Virtualdubmod can do this as can AVIMUX04.



ashy  2003-09-27 17:23:34 ( ID:n3gjkhi6dvc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If you prefer you can try this codec which can handle Ac3 and should allow TMPG to decode it.
