Hi,
Running W2000, P4 CPU 2.4, Intel 865 Mboard, 1G ram. Xpress will load new files and edit great for a couple of hours. Then it will sort of lock itself out from accessing the hard disk drive for maybe 3 or more minutes. The W2000 task manager says Xpress "Not Responding". The hard drive activity light is on solid and other program accesses to the hard drive are slowed down. PC monitor window is also affected. Finally when the drive activity light is out/cleared, Xpress is back. But the next command causes it to go locked again. This behavior continues with Xpress until I re-boot the PC. System resources RAM available and CPU activity are good, not impacted. As I finish typing this Xpress has locked itself for 12 minutes. I hope it clears so I do not have to reboot. All help appreciated, thanks. regards - tom
I've search the posts and I think I'm doing this correctly but can't get "play only first track" to work.
Have 2 clips. First one is an "intro" video and the second is main video divided into chapters.
I've got "Firstplay action" set to "Play only first track".
I've got "Action to take after each track....." set to "display track menu".
"Display menu settings" set to "only track menu" (get the same problem with Main menu selected).
Even though the "intro" track appears in the track menu as chapter 1 (which you can stop from displaying), I assumed it would play the "intro" track and then put up the title menu. It doesn't.When dvd file is played (in PowerDVD)it plays "intro" (chap. 1) but continues with the rest of the video and only at the end does it put up the title menu.
Tried all variations but can't get it to work.
Got any ideas?
Firstplay action - "Play only first track".
Action to take after each track - "Display Main Menu"
This works for me. It plays intro movie, then immediately goes to Main Menu. From Main Menu, you can hide the first "intro" track button, and only have the "second" track displayed. So it looks like one track on main menu.
When I try to join two mpeg files, the final file is in the required format, except that there is strange loud beep noise where the two files are joined.
I have tried working with various files and am having the same problem in all the files.
OK, total noobie here. Forgive my complete and total ignorance.
I have two MPG files that I want to Cut & Paste. I need the last 4 minutes of one file connected to the first 1 minute of the second file. Then I want to save the resultant work as a new .mpg file. Sounds simple.
If I use TMPGEnc | File | MPEG Tools | Merge and Cut, I can figure out how to edit the files and select the pieces of the files that I want -- using the well-designed braces {}. However, when I Run the program at this point, only the video stream is produced. The .mpg file is created, but there is no sound. If I examine or demux the new file, clearly only the video stream was encorporated in the .mpg file.
What am I doing wrong??
____________________________________
The original MPG files have the audio encoded as "CPM-Audio" Packs. The video attributes are 720x480, 4:3 ratio, 29.97 fps, bitrate 240,000 -- if any of that matters.
Cut and paste is not really a term used in video editing, but I understand what you mean.
You have incompatible audio. You would need to encode the audio to MP2 first then remux with your video and then perform the cut.
OK, I found this program called "Audio Converter" and I downloaded it for a free 10-day trial. Eh, I don't recommend it. It converted my 18 minute WAV file to a 15 second MP2 file. No good. There are several converters out there, but which one is decent? The one I picked is a dog!
Easy TMPG will do it.
Simply load the MPEG into TMPG as normal then select 'audio only' next click the setting button and select the bitrate you want to encode to. If you want it to be very high quality then select the highest bitrate.
When done just hit start. After TMPG has finished you should have an MP2 file which you can then remux with your video.
I downloaded wmp 10 and when trying to load file into tmp 3 i would normally in video area when the length of files are different in video and audio change the cut-edit and key frame list which would then enable me to change the audio to fit the video length.
I can no longer do this. I have deleted wmp 10,redownloaded tmp3,changed the restore point and am so frustrated that i am considering a restore of my whole operating system which is not really what i want to do.
Can anyone offer any help?
The main problem is that it is in wrong directory, so go to start and search for files and type p3package.dll,then u will get the file, copy it to your desktop and then cut it and paste it to system32 folder in windows directory for windows Xp users and for other windows users copy the file where u will see many files or dll's, which is in system or system32 folder. Then do the same with p4package.dll which u will see error later when u have paste p3package.dll

In the "add clip", "cut-edit" and "filter" pages/windows, I cannot see the bottom of page. Unable to resize the windows to rectify this either, which means i can't see or use the buttons at the bottom of these pages.
Is there any correction for this? I'm using WinXP-pro.
