the .avi file i want to encode to .mpeg is bugfree and runs perfect but if i want to convert it, tmpgenc says that no audio source is available. the .avi has sound though. if i convert it by ignoring that alert, i receive a .mpeg file without sound.
is the sound format probably not known by tmpgenc?
how can i check this?
Yeah it show in the project wizard part 45 that my movie is over 300mibs long. It is actually 1h 49min:s long.
I cannot start encoding, because the file wont fit on DVD. No matter what i do whit the avarage bit rate setting, it wont fit on DVD. So that means i cant burn it :(, so how i make this program understand that the film is only about 110mins long...?
so now i have separated the audio from the movie, how do i convert it to the right form (was it now Wav. :O or some other, you tell me :)) and add it back to the film?
sorry for my large number of messages :O
But since you know how to convert the avi part whit Graphedit, i downloaded the graphedit to my computer, i was wondering, that could you tell me how to do the conversion?
(take the audio out of the film, turn it to the right form and the put it back to the film...those)
The usual way to correct the problem you're having is to go to Option>Enviromental settings>VFAPI plugins the raise the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' to 2 and ensure it is top of the list.
If that doesn't cure it then install FFDSHOW also.
Finally if neither work, which is unusual, use the source range function to mark the start and end points of your movie.
It's always a good idea to raise the DirectShow Multimedia file Reader priority. But i do prefer to export the Audio-Part to WAV first.
GraphEdit is simple, if you know the Tricks. For Audio-Export to WAV, open the Video with Graphedit.
Remove the video branch completly. Remove the last Part of the Audio-Branch.
Open Graph -> Insert Filters -> DirectShow filters.
Choose WAV dest and choose File writer -> Type in the name for the WAV.
Draw the Lines from the Audio-Branch to WAV dest and from WAV dest to File Writer, press Play, wait a little, ready.
You can also use it to convert Video from one to an other format, and you can use it as Pre-Processor for AVISynth. If you like, you can use a Codec to compress the extracted Audio-Stream.
With GraphEdit, you are able to use ANY DirectShow-Filter on your PC the Way you want to use it.
Oh, and if you just want to extract AC3 from a Video... just use Dump as Filter for Output. ;)
i am converting .avi to .mpg for a vcd. i load the video source fine, and i try loading the same file for the audio source and it says it is invalid. could anybody tell me what i am doing wrong and how to fix it please? thanks

Hi There the reason why you two are getting this error I believe is that you have got an audio file that is above 44100 htz which is standard for VCD encoding. To change the audio file you may need to change the rate with the use of soundforge. First you will have to extract the audio file and change the bitrate from probably 22050 htz to 44100 htz. That format is very common in AVI files and DVIX files as the lower the bitrate for audio the less space it takes in space. Once you change the bitrate over to 44100 load the video file and then load the audio file and then encode the file using TMPGENC. You will find that in most cases this will work without delays in between audio and video.
For more information check out www.dvdrhelp.com .... there are a few other solutions to this problem but I use sound forge to extract the audio file from the avi file and convert it to the proper bitrate.
I have a problem whether I singly encode a file or try and bacth encode. When the encoder has finished, the percentage show as 100% done. The encoder just keeps on running. I cant abort as TMPgenc ignores it. I have to kill TMPGenc, the mpeg uis usuable but this problem stops me doing any batch work.
I have tried changing plugin settings but these have no effect.
This is normal. TMPG is still performing some processes such as writing header data into the file. Just wait and it will finish, this can take up to a few minutes sometimes.
I used TMPGEnc 2.5 free version to convert a wmv to mpeg. I used the wizzard and didn't change any of the settings, used all defaults. Once encoded I used Nero to burn an SVCD on CD-R. The CDR won't play in WinDVD or my stand alone DVD player. It will play in windows media player. I want to play it in the standalone, which I know plays CDR's and CDRW's. According to the manual it plays VCD 1.1 or 2.0. Dosen't mention SVCD.
Anyone know what I need to do to make the SVCD play in WinDVD and the standalone DVD player??
It's a Toshiba SDK730. I bought it at Costco, very inexpensive.
It appears as though the DVD player dosen't support SVCD. I made a VCD that played with no problems. The quality was actually better than I expected. Neither the VCD nor the SVCD play in WinDVD 4. Info I've found on WinDVD indicated that it should play both.

I have DVD Author 1.6 and I'm looking for a solution where DVD Author automatically can insert for each scene a chapter in DVD-Menu.
It would save more time when DVD Author has a scene detection for chapters and after that I remove unwanted chapters.
Is there a solution ?
I think I have done at some point in Windows 98 but now I just can't seem to do it regardless of what I do and set the priority levels in Tmpgenc Options.
