I have an mpg file that I demux using the mpg tools. After it is demuxed there are 2 files a video m1v and an audio mp2. I want to do some editing to the audio file so I was able to open it in one of my editors but had to convert it to a wav to be able to use the audio software that I wanted to edit with.
So now I have a wav file that I assume needs to go back to an mp2 file so I can multiplex it back with the video but neither of my editors have this option.
Every time i try to convert from .avi to SVCD i get this | Write error occured at address 77F8336F of module 'ntdll.dll' with 00000000 | when i am starting and if i try to change "source range", "Clip Frame", and "Noise reduction"
trying to get to grips with converting my downloaded movies to KVCD. Have TMPGEnc and the kvcd templates, however when i try to load the video and audio files, a message appears saying that the file cannot be opened or is unsupported. Where am i going wrong?
Green as the grass at the moment about this, so make it simple for me..
I have D2V & Wav Files (which i made with DVD2AVI and HeadAC3)and want to Convert to MPEG1 with TMPGenc Plus 2.5 for my Ipaq. I tried to use my owmn Template with these settings: Video 352*288, Constant Bitrate 600, Audio 128,44100 Joint Stereo. Source File is 108 Minuts i.e. when i start Wizard and take my Setting (Template) it shows me "Produces 5,30MB average / Minute. But the MPEG1 file becomes almost double /ca. 10,23MB / Minute. Even the last Wizard Window Shows the Estimated file Size = 575,86 MB but after 5 Hours Job it produce 1,2GB File. Now i went with this problem to one of my freiend who has the same Version (Tmpgenc) and we tried the same Files / same cofiguration also same Windows (2000) and i was so surpriced this time the MPEG1 File is correct as the wizard shows (575,86) Now at my PC i tried it again and again but the size is always double. Even i tried with different files but result is same.
Any Ideas ???
>I have D2V & Wav Files (which i made with DVD2AVI and HeadAC3)
Why did you use HeadAC3 when DVD2AVI creates it's own wav?
The next time you want to change the bitrate of an MPEG1 from standard VCD settings make sure you change the stream setting to 'MPEG1 VCD(non standard)' under the 'system' tab in 'settings' or padding will be added.
To remove this padding from your current MPEG1 file just run it through the 'simple multiplexer' with the above setting and the padding will be removed. Your file will then be the size it should be.
Hi,
thanks for Mail..
Why I use HeadAC3 tool for WAV because I had Synchronise Problem with MP3 File (From DVD2AVI)
My main problem is still not solved. I tried just now the same way as you wrote. I Used Standard VCD Template and change in System to "MPEG1 VCD (Non Standard). This MPEG1 File I run with MPEG Tools / Simple Multiplex / Type - MPEG-1 VideoCD (non Standard) Video/Audio Input - MPEG1 File and output saved with another name.
But it didnot work out. My File Size has become from 7,824 MB to 7,819. This should be almost half. Because 352*288 Resolution / 520 Bitrate/ 128kb Audio the File schold be approx. 5,67 MB (Project Wizard calculate 5,30MB per Minute) The Quality is exellent and all other setting are very good only the File Size becomes almost double.
It will be great if you can send me few other tips...
>I Used Standard VCD Template and change in System to "MPEG1 VCD (Non Standard)
Did you unlock the template first and then change to 'MPEG1 VCD (non standard)'?
If this did not work then you have not encoded the MPEG at the bitrate you think you have, but have encoded it at standard bitrate. I can guarantee to you that if your MPEG was indeed encoded at 520 Mb/s then the above setting would create the correct output size.
Do NOT use the wizard.
Just load your d2v and wav into the main window, click 'Load' and select the VCD template. Then do as suggested above and unlock the template by double clicking the 'unlock.mcf' in the 'Extra' folder.
After that change the stream type setting to 'MPEG1 VCD (non standard)' as previously advised.
Yes i unlock the template otherwise i cannot change the settings.
Yesterday i tried another film and as you said with "MPEG1 VCD - Non Standard" and it worked out very well.
This was a 124 Min. and with my MPEG1 Settings (352*288 ,Constant Bitrate = 520, Audio =128 Joint Stereo) Estimated File Size was 585,93 and Finally it became 597,54. Actually i wanted a MPEG1 File less than 600 MB (Rest Space on my Micro Drive)and i played this MPEG1 File (with PocketTV) on my Ipaq H2210. The Quality is excllent just like DVD.
This time File size has become just 2% more than estimate which i quite OK.
I will try some more films and let you know on Monday..
Thanks again.
Hi,
I am trying to convert a DVD to MPEG1 Format. I fixed all the settings with Tmpgenc and saved it as "Template". Now i start my project and Load my Template with Project Wizard which show me in the last window that Estimated file Size will be 575,86 MB and after 5 Hours Work the File becomes 1,2GB Big. Movie is 108Minuts, Video Resolution 352x288, Constant Bitrate = 600, Audio 128/ 44100Hz. Joint Stereo.
I tried the same File with one of my friends Computer with same Fim Size, same Tmpgenc Version (Plus)with same settings as i did before, now encoding file is correct and MPEG1 Size is perfect as Estimated.
The problem is at my computer same File becomes fast double.
Can anyone give me a tip....??

OK, you are producing Non-Standard VCD, so you can't multiplex it as VCD because it will fill in the missing Bitrate. Multiplex it as MPEG1 Video-CD (non standard) and all is OK.
How can i use or make new background pictures, to use in the menu's, with TMPGEnc DVD Author? It uses the extension .tme but i don't know the program to use to make new background pictures. Is it possible to use a jpeg picture, if so, how do i do that? Thx in advange.
>Wow... Just klick on the Background and load your own Picture... :rolleyes:
>
>Man, that's SO easy!
Maybe he has the same problem I am trying to address; He could be trying
to use his "own Picture" that is not the same aspect as the preview window.
I am trying to use a 273x73 24bit bmp file, but it gets gets squashed into
100x73. What is odd is if I make the same bmp the frame image, the little
part I can see looks perfect.
Any idea how to get it to work? I am willing to HexEdit the tme file.
So far TMPG DVD Auth has been v easy to use and effective. However I have something that I cant seem to do. Most authoring programmes use the filename of the mpeg as the defaul chapter name, but in TMPG the titles are Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc (as far as I can remember) and I have to rename each track. How do i just get it to use the filenames? After all, the filenames are already in the Chapter window.
I've been trying to purchase the $99 bundle. Each time I try, when I click on Next, the web server responds with a single line "set your transaction id"
Perhaps the server needs to be reconfigured or restarted?
Few things are more frustrating than trying to spend money and being blocked from doing so. :)
I had the exact same problem when I tried to purchase the bundle with Internet Explorer 5.5. But it worked fine when I tried with Mozilla Firebird, although the page warned that it may not work with other browsers than Internet Explorer! So something is definitely wrong with the order page. Maybe it was only tested with Internet Explorer 6.0?
After upgrading from windows Me to XP-prof, I now have problems with the batch encoding. Tmpgenc shuts down after one file without any error message (the produced file is OK). This happens also on my laptop with XP-prof. I have enough memory (640 MB) and enough space on my HD. I tried also earlier versions of Tmpgenc. Is there a problem between Tmpgenc and Windows XP-prof. Who can help?
kind regards
Geritt
...have very similar problem. Seemed OK on W98SE but on WinXP my TMPGENc just suddenly disappears while encoding...
...I've found an info that TMPGEnc doesn't support DV type-1 (only DV type-2)
- the strange thing is that TMPGEnc supported DV type-1 under Win 98 SE without any problems - and since I'm using WinXP - this problem became very frustrating.
..any help or comments would be appreciated
WHY TMPGEnc just disappears while encoding under WINDOWS XP??
