Just wondering if when tmpgenc automatically shuts down when finished, whether it runs a normal shutdown that can be interrupted by crap apps asking questions or whether it forces shutdown.
this is because i want to run a rubbish peer to peer app which sometimes doesnt close properly, but i want it to shut down when tmpgenc finishes....... ta
THIS WILL BE MY LAST POST AS IM MOVING TO THE AFTERDAWN FORUMS, but yes if you set it up right tmpge will take you the "ur computer is now safe to shut down screen" when finished
if any1 has anymore probs with tmpge, and you want my opinion, private message me mick69 in afterdawn forum, i'll be sure to help you out
cheers every1 its been a pleasure

L8r every1 have a good 1
and remember even the people that seem to be in the know the most were still newbies at 1 point or another
As far as I know TMPG runs the normal windows shutdown command, so you should be OK.
Why don't you run a program that asks for input before shutting down and see what happens.
is there a way to edit tpr file, now I change C: est est.avi (=videoinput) to C: est est.avs and I don't change C: est est.mp2 (=audioinput) and C: est est.mpg (=videooutput) (I change it all with notepad).
When I open the tpr file with Tmpgenc, I get an error
Illegal stream format?
What do I do wrong? or is there a better way to edit tpr files? (without saving a new tpr file with Tmpgenc)
Why are you editing the .tpr file?
Just load the Avisynth script straight into TMPG and then save the project.
Also you do not need to re-encode the audio. it is already in the correct format for MPG. Simply encode the video only then multiplex the audio with it afterwards.
I'm having problems re-encoding video captured using a digital video broadcast (DVB) tuner card. Basically, TMPGEnc encodes a portion of the file correctly, but at some point throughout the movie, the video just freezes, and the same frame is displayed for the remainder of the movie.
I have been encoding using CBR. If anyone has any suggestions that'd be great. If you'd like more info, please let me know.
I converted AVI to MPG with .srt subtitle. However, when I played the result the subtitle intermittently disappear at a random interval. Could anyone please tell me what's wrong and how can I solve this problem?
Hard to answer. It depends on what kind of DirectShow-Filters for Subtitles in SRT- or SAA-Format are installed on your PC. Some of them do not like overlapping Subtitles. Maybe that's the problem?
I'm using VSFilter.dll in AVISynth to encode the Subs directly into the Video. This works all the time.
Raise the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' to 2 or 3 in the VFAPI plugins and make sure it is top of the list.
If you still have problems install FFDSHOW and load the subs via that in the configuration settings.
So all you have to do is determine the bitrate to use. This depends on the length of your movie which you did not specify.
However, it will be easy for you to determine. Use the bitrate calculator in the "Project Wizard". Open your file in the wizard, specify 900MB as the target size and TMPGEnc will give you the video and audio bitrate to use. Write the bitrate down and close the wizard and adjust the bitrate in TMPGEnc and encode. You could even encode straight from the wizard if you like. It can't be any more simple. This will produce a non-standard vcd.
You don't have any choices if you want to create a standard vcd. Just use the VCD template for 650, 700, 900 MB cds.
David you were right the first time.
9O min CDR's can hold 908 mb of raw data which is what VCD/SVCD is.
An 80 min CDR can hold 800mb and 823mb with overburning.
I am a novice at video conversion so please bear with me.
I attempted to convert an Mpeg file to Mpeg2 for writing to a DVD. Movie is 2 hours long, encoding estimated time of 24 hours to convert! is this normal? Then the conversion stalled out at aprox 11hours.
File was partially converted but has no audio. I picked mpeg system as the option.
I'm running XP Home on a 2.8Ghz P4 w/512 PC2700 ram.
What format is your original mpeg? Depending on the format (resolution, fps, etc) you might be able to burn that to DVD using the header tricks. You are only going to degrade the quality by encoding it again into a mpeg format.
I installed TMPGEnc before I installed .Net. Now the VFAPI Plugin section says "The file can not be loaded". I've done a search for it and it's there, so what do I need to do so it sees it?
I've got a seven second clip separated into M2v and AVI files. The AVI is LPCM. Now I run the AVI through the AC-3 encoder of TMPGEnc DVD author with AC-3 plugin.
This produces a AC3 file. I now take the M2V and AC3 files and multiplex them back together to create a short MPG file. This seems to play quite happily on WinMedia player.
Now I use this MPG file as the background for a motion menu in TMPGenc DVD author (I've got it set to always convert MP2 and LPCM files to AC-3) and all goes according to plan except that when I burn the DVD to disc and play it, the motion menu comes up saying it's still PCM sound. The main files are all AC-3, but not the motion menu, which should be seeing as I multiplexed an AC-3 file into it!
What am I doing wrong? Does the act of mutiplexing convert it back to PCM sound?
Yeah, I read that after I wrote the post. What's up with that? It even goes to the trouble of converting AC-3 to PCM just for menu background sound. Why not just let the AC-3 sound through, or better yet, convert PCM or MPEG to AC-3 like it does for the main tracks? Seems ridiculous to me.
I think Pegasys needs to sort that out pretty damn soon!
Did you ever see a DVD with AC3-Sound while playing the Menus? No? The reason is, there are no DVDs like that.
AC3 can not be used as Background-Sound for Menus, that's not a bug in TDA.
Actually, I went and checked a half dozen commercial DVDs and every one of them brought up Dolby Digital 2.0 sound while the menus played, according to my Sony AV amplifier.
The short company puff pieces, such as the Paramount Logo, were in DD 5.1 on a few of them, while the main progs were in DD5.1 or DTS. Not a single one had PCM as its menu sound system, or anywhere else for that matter. These were all NTSC R1 DVDs, by the way.
Yeah, NTSC do have it's own rules. All of my PAL DVDs do have MP2- or PCM-Sound as sound system in the Menus.
But what's your Problem? There's no need for using AC3 als Menu sound format - even in the NTSC-World.
If checked it. Only the very expensive Tools like Scenarist are able to use AC3 in Menus. DVDLab is able to that too, but in this Application, all Sound formats on a single Disc have to be the same Type. So if you use AC3 2.0 in the Menu, the Movie also has to have AC3 2.0 only.
No problem really, it just would have been neater is all. PCM sound for the menus is perfectly fine, it just seems a silly omission that once you have the AC-3 plug-in, TDA won't apply it to motion menus, even if you go to the trouble of giving it an AC-3 MPG clip to use as one.
I mean why not, what's the thinking behind that? It even goes to the trouble of converting it back to PCM, all the while it's happily converting PCM to AC-3 elsewhere on the DVD. Makes little or no sense to me.
TMPG has a bug with some files where for some reason it will read the time header information in the AVI and multiply it by 2-3 times.
You can solve this by using the source range function and just select the start and end points of the movie.
