i have an avi file using the divx codec that i want to convert to svcd. when I choose the file, it is unsupported. how come some avi files work and some dont? is there anyway to correct this problem?

I have an avi file encoded with divx. WHen i try to convert it, it says that its unsupported. What do I do?

How can you put a startup/opening video in a vcd. This video plays before the main menu is shown.

al

Just put it as the first track in your burning/authoring program.

i'm using Nero 5 and the menu page i created is default in track 1 and wont let me change it. Any suggestion how to do it in Nero or is there a better software?

Oh I see what you are trying to do now.
I don't think it is possible to do what you are asking.
I don't know of any software that can accomplish what you ask or if it supported in the VCD 2.0 spec.

Please CAN SOMEONE HELP

I have just bought a new computer. Installed tmpgenc, copy and pasted my registration number in, but to no avail it says wrong number.
I still have a printed copy of the letter sent when I registard, probably tried to get the nuber in about 40 times now.
I registard about two years ago, anyone got any idea what I need to do?

Dvd author went in ok no problems.

thanks in advance for any help.

Ralph.

Probably because your registration will no longer work in the new version because it has been blacklisted.
You will either have to find the version you had originaly or contact Pegasys for a replacment.

Thanks for the reply.

Could you elaborate on being blacklisted?
it's not a pirate copy I registered it about two years ago.
I also have a registered copy of dvd author, that went in ok

I tried an old version as you suggested. But, the same thing wrong registration number, you don't really need this when you have to reinstall every thing from scratch.

Thanks
Ralph.

Are you using the same version of TMPG you had when you first registered?

@CELTIC YOB
Some of the registration numbers provided on the internet are blocked now, that's what "blacklist" means.
And there are a couple of "right" Codes on the List because they where provided on the Net too.
If you have a purchased Registration Code and you are doing only legal things, mail to Pegasys directly, they will help you on your registration.

On my Dual Xeon system, TMPG sees only 2 logical processors instead of 4. Also, when encoding it is only able to load the system to 50% utilization.

Is there any update or revision that correctly supports Dual Xeon (hyperthreading for 2 physical cpu's) ?

Thank you,
Charles W.

I have a problem!

I'm about to convert a movie in TMPGEnc, from avi to SVCD with subtitles. When that's finished I burn the movie to an DVD. But the problem ouccure when I watch the movie in my DVD-player. The movie have been "pushed up" so I can only use 2/3 of my televison.

I've found out that this only happends when I have subtitles. Not when there's only the movie, without subtitles.

Is there any way you can "cut of" the black line in TMPGEnc??

Two things here.

Why are you creating SVCD if you are burning to DVD?
Why don't you just make the subs selectable by authoring them with your DVD program rather than hard encoding them?

I normally download movie files using emule and bitorrent.

I also have the klite codec pack.

Despite all this, all the avi files I play are all choppy and play very slowly.

I am newbie, so any help on this very much appreciated.

What's the spec of the PC and AVIs?

Bob.

As above but also:
>I also have the klite codec pack.

= bad.

Hello,
I also have the same problems as you and using k-lite codecs. I believe that we both need a larger CPU like a 1.6gig P4 or better to play AVI's properly. It wasdoing this even before I installed TMPNGEnc and k-Lite codecs. Since converting .avi to MPEG the choppiness stopped. MPEGS play fine. That's because AVI's play at @ 1.3 fps and MPEG plays at @ 29 fps. What CPU do you have? Believe it or not I use a P233mmx! It takes foreever to encode AVI's to MPEG's but k-lite's Classic Media Player works great on the converted AVI's to MPEG's. Except for the extremely slow performance(1% per hour!), I also have a problem of converting a 26 min. AVI to MPEG and it says it goes over the CD-R limit of 80 minutes! Please, please if you have received answers to any of your or my problems, contact me at sonatine@cfl.rr.com. I appreciate yor help.

Regards,
Steven

When using TMPGEnc for merging/cuting mpeg2 files ,if i try to edit the files i got an error message :"Floating decimal point is divided by 0".
I cannot use the edit function.
Anybody to help me.
Thanks

In the past, I have joined multiple VCD-compliant MPEG files using TMPGEnc, but the result was never VCD-compliant, so I had to re-encode the joined output file _again_ before I could put it onto a VCD. This is very inconvenient, time-consuming, and I presume it degrades the AV quality also.

Has this been fixed in a recent revision of the program, and if not, would you add it to your todo list? Thanks.

This has been a bug in TMPG's muxer for as long as I can remember.
It doesn't create 100% VCD compliant files however most if not all DVD players shouldn't have a problem with it, so what problem do you have.

If you need to create 100% VCD compliant files then just re-mux using the muxer that comes with the Phillips VCD2.0 toolkit. It's muxer is 100% compliant.

Are the AC-3 plug-in and any updates no longer available on-line?

Hey, I was wondering if you can use virtual dub to take an .AVI video file and match it up with its .wav sound file?? Ashy had made a comment on suprnova to me, which by the way was nice of him, but i couldnt find out how to do what he was telling me. Can someone explain?

Ok, start up Virtualdub and load your AVI.
Next click 'Audio' from the options then select 'Wav audio' from the menu and load your wav.

Click 'Audio' again and then 'Interleaving'. Here you will see 'Audio Skew Correction'

This works in millseconds, so if your audio is behind by say 1 second, then to advance it put in a negative value of -1000 ms. If it's behind by 1 second then to delay it put in a positive value of 1000 ms.
'Ok' it and check the sync by clicking the second playback button in the main window.
It's usually best to reduce the first windows size to minimum by right clicking it and reduce the size of the second window also if it's too large. This will make things play back more smoothly.

Once you have found a value that works from beginning to end you can then either use that value in the 'Audio gap correct' in the 'Source range' function of TMPG or you can simply save the wav and use that as the new audio source for TMPG.

>If it's behind by 1 second then to delay it put in a positive value of 1000 ms.
Correction, this line should read:
If it's ahead by 1 second then to delay it put in a positive value of 1000 ms.

Sorry.

Thank You very much for your help!!!

Hi,
I have been converting some XVID's posted on usenet from AVI to MPEG using TMPGEnc and I have done 6 now with no problems. I have downloaded FFDSHOW to make it work, and have used TOOLame for the audio conversion. It has worked fine every time.

All of a sudden this time I get no audio. The AVI has audio but it's a little low. When I run it through Gspot it says "ac3 (0x2000) "Dolby Laboratories, Inc". But when I run the resulting MPEG through Gspot is says under audio (under the DirectShow render information): Ligos MPEG Audio Decoder-->Morgan Stream Switcher and "Rendered successfully". Yet the MPEG has no audio on my computer (using WMP to play it) nor when burned and played on my dvd player.

Again, this has not happened with any of the other MPEG's I've come up with using the same settings on TMPGEnc.

I tried one conversion using TMPGEnc's default audio converter and I tried one using the TOOLame converter, both ending up wih no audible sound, although the video plays fine as always.

Have you got the AC3ACM decompressor installed? Without it TMPG won't decode AC3.

TMPG can't use the Ligos MPEG Audio Decoder.
You can check for audio under in the advanced audio controls. Just click the audio EDIT button. If u don't hear audio then u won't get any in output. In that case try raising the priority of the "AVI VFW Compatibility Reader" to top of the list.
