Hello guys, has anyone been able to copy the new lion king dvd (2 disc special edition)? i ripped the files like i normally do with smart ripper. Then tried to process it with dvd2one, but it gave the message about copy the dvd to harddrive so as to decypt it first. it's like i am trying to process straight from a dvd disc. anyone know whats going on?
Well It might not be the DVD But DVD2One...One way to tell if the Vob files are Properly decrypted is no try to load one of the Vob files into DVD2AVI or Tmpgenc and see it you can see a Picture, if you can see a picture then the Problem is with DVD2One....
Hi, last time I had a similar problem with this and Ashy and B_Racer helped me. Just wondering how you got the correct aspect ratio? My current size is 704x396. I normally encode non-widescreen using these overscan techniques:
Output size: 480x480
Video Arrange Method: Custom Center (420x420)
If Ashy could help me again, I really would appreciate it! Thanks.
Um...I guess I forgot to state what I am trying to do. I am trying to convert an AVI to MPEG and to maintain the widescreen without anything going off the sides of the TV.
OK, you have a NTSC-Video. It looks like it is encodet at 1:1 PAR. If this is true, the PAR is 1:1, the AR 1.7778:1 which means 16:9.
I suggest to resize directly to 480x368 and letterbox to 480x480. This gives you an AR of 1.7832:1.
An other Way ist to resize to 448x344 and letterbox to 480x480. This results in an AR of 1.7804:1 and prevents a lot of Video to be putted into the Overscan-Area of the TV.
But there might be a Problem: There is a small posibility that the Video has the AR of 1.82:1. Maybe wrong resized from 1.85:1.
So try to resize a small part to 480x360. I don't think that that's the right way to resize it, but give it a try to be sure.
>Also, the FPS is 23.976. Should I encode it to the same or 29.97...?
Encode it with 23.976! After encoding use the Tool PullDown.exe to set the Pulldown-Flag correctly.
You just need to download "DoPulldown" or "Pulldown.exe" and encode your File as a 23.97fps Mpeg file, then you will Probably have to de-mux the Mpeg file then load the Video file into Pulldown.exe or DoPulldown and set the Pulldown Flag and the Frame rate to 29.97fps and then let it do it"s thing and then you Just Mux the audio and the New Video file back together and everything should be A OK.....cheers
I converted the avi file to mpeg the right way this time, burned it to cd played it on my DVD plaver but the picture seems to big for the tv, I think its called aver scan. Does the option keep aspect ratio help????
That's normal. Any TV has an Area called Overscan which is not visible.
If you have an AVI with Subtitles which are to close to the edges of the Video, you will not see the Subs or see them partialy.
All you can do is to shrink the Picturesize of the Video and fill it with black Borders. As an Example:
Resize to 336x544 instead of 352x576 in PAL Half-D1. FitCD or Fit2Disc is a good Tool for calculating the correct Overscan-Proof Resizing.
hi, i have recently started to encode dvd movies from avi files. the problem is when i encode the avi (using cce sorry tmpgenc) i am left with a mpv file so then i try and put the file into tmpgenc dvd author but i get an error message saying the frame rate is 23.976 which is illegal for a dvd. then i put the mpv file into dopulldown which sorts out the frame rate changing it from 23.976 fps to 29.976, but then when i load the file into tmpgenc dvd author the gop sequence is to long. please help
also tried using avirate but this makes audio and video out of sinc.
I don't think your problem is that you have used Dopullown as this won't affect the GOP length.
First you must make sure that the source is progressive and you encode the MPEG as progressive by checking the options under the 'Quality' tab for 'Progressive frame flag' and 'Zig zag' scanning order. Also ensure you checked the option for 'DVD video compliance' in the Video tab under 'Advanced' controls. This should ensure all GOPs are 15 frames and under.
hi im fairly new to tmpeg and when i try to start to encode a file i downloaded from net it says cant find p3package dll. What does this meen and how can i fix it please
What's the size of your TV got to do with it?
353x288 is the size of the video frames and has nothing to do with how big your TV screen is and will fit any 4:3 TV perfectly whether it be a tiny portable TV or a huge projector TV.
Hello!
I've heard the audio of an AVI file which I want to encode with the audio section of the settings of TMPGEnc and it played pretty good (certainly before and after the 17th minute), also the video preview is ok, but the encoded MPEG2 file (VBR CQ) played ok for only about 17 minutes and then the video is still ok but the audio begin to be heavenly distorted and out of sync.
The source AVI file plays the audio correctly all along before and after the 17th minute even on Windows Media Player...
Anyone knows why and how to solve this problem?
I downloaded an AVI file and converted it to mpeg using the free version of TMPGEnc. When I tried to play it right after there was no sound? PLease help!!!
You Probably need to Extract the audio from your AVI file to WAV format useing something like Virtual Dub then use the wav file as the audio source in tmpgenc....
I was converting avi files to mpeg-1 with no problems. After I finished encoding I noticed one of the files had very low volume. So I decided to try and redo it with audio correction. When I went to the audio tab under Settings and enabled Audio Edit the program no longer records the video portion of my avi, which worked fine before I tried fooling with the audio. Now even if I try converting an avi without the audio editing (which worked fine before) it still does not include the video and creates the mpeg 1 file with audio and a black video. I have tried everything I can think of including going over every setting in this software with a fine tooth comb. I reinstalled the software, I restarted my computer. The only thing I can think of is this may be a codec issue, but I am new to this and not sure how I would know what codec I need to reinstall or how I can find out. Thanks for any help.
Well In the First Place if the Audio was too low you did not need to re-encode the While File again you just needed to re-encode the audio which would have saved a Lot of Time and Trouble...Well anyways this should get the Video back,Go to "options" to "Enviromental settings" to "Vfapi Plugins" and Raise the "Direct show" to "2"....
I have no idea how to encode the audio seperate when using a file that already is mixed audio/video. As far as the Direct SHow plug-in I do not have that, no idea where to get it from. I was able to get video on other avi's but the one file where the problem started I am not sure what happened, but I even created a brand new AVI since the original source was .rm and still no video. I finally found another program that would convert the AVI to an MPG but not encode it, then when I went back to TMPGEnc and I encoded the mpg that I just created the video was restored. Not sure why this worked. Anyway in the meantime I came across another AVI that had the same issue, 2 out of 20. This one I was able to resolve by recreating a new AVI from the original .rm file. Thanks for the tips though!
I am trying to convert an Xvid uncompressed pcm file to mpeg2.
When I use tmpg to convert to mpeg2 the result is that thevideo seems to stutter (i.e. seems to playback 5 frames per second instead of 25). Is it because its going from 23.97 frames to PAL 25 Frames per second?
What am I doing wrong? Help!
The Problem is that you can NOT Convert Frame rates useing Tmpgenc.....If you search this Forum you will Find a Few different Methods of Converting Frame rates useing Mostly Free software, But what I usually do when I have to convert Frame rates like this is use a Video editor like Adobe Premier or Vegas Video to convert the frame rate but there are other methods outlined in this Forum if you look.....Good Luck
To handle this is easy.
Extract the Audio-Part from the Video.
Open the Video in TMPGEnc. Use Settings for PAL. Don't forget to set the Framerate to 25!
Go to the Advance-Tab and set Do not Frame rate conversion to activ.
Encode the Video only.
Open the Audio-Part in BeSweet and use the Settings for 23.976 -> 25
Encode the Audio-Part.
Mux Audio and Video: All will be perfect.
Hey guys, you've always been so helpful in the past regarding mgp encoding, and I had another question about putting a title with TMPGEnc on my movies. Currently, I have my personal movie footage for my Web Site in MGP Clip's and I use Premier to put a Tag on them and convert them to AVI's (because Premier's compression software sucks for saving as MPG, can't set the bit rate) and then I use TMPGEnc to convert the AVI's back to MPG's. It sucks! Is there any type of plugin for TMPG that will allow me to put the title of my website on the movies, like a watermark?
Theres no need for all that encoding , re-encoding then encoding again, that's just a waste of time and quality.
There are a few prgrams out there can overlay graphics and titles on video, but are usually quite expensive.
You can do it for free with Virtualdub using it's logo filter. You can put a logo anywhere you want in the video then you just frame serve the whole thing to TMPG and encode to MPG.
If you intend to use MPEG2 as input to Virtualdub then you will need Virtualdubmod.
Well if you have Premier then you can add the Titles in Premier and use the Premier Video server to Frameserve the Project with the Titles to Tmpgenc, this way there is No rendering at all...Or you can Just render your Premier Project with the Titles as an AVI file then encode it in Tmpgenc..All versions Of Premier I own Have a Mpeg encoder that you can set up includeing the Bitrate, The New Premier Pro Has a Very Good Mpeg encoder built in.....
