I used TMPGenc to create a DVD with menus. It played fine on my PC using POWERDVD. But, when I try to play on a standard DVD Player (Panasonic RV31), the disc is not recognized.

I can burn the DVD without Menus and it plays fine, so something about the menus is preventing the DVD from geing recognized.

Thanks

I can't save edits as mpeg files rather it saves as TMPGenc which other programs cannot open. The solution I used was to batch recode which gave me an mpeg file

i want a part out of the middle of a file so i use source range, but when it converts there is no audio???

Hi,

I'm trying to encode mpeg-1 from avi.

The output file is bigger than the input file in ~25%.

Can I configure TMPGEnc to make a smaller mpg file?

Thanks

An MPEG 1/2 file will always be bigger than an AVI if you want to maintain quality. You can reduce the size by reducing the bitrate, but the output will look crap.

Wrong. A MPEG-1 is encoded at CBR therefore the size is 10 MB per minute (compulsory). Therefore 1 CD-R approx 80' of VCD movie is compulaory.
You either must use the KVCD templetes or split the movie into 2 (for a 80 min < length < 160 min movie).

Can anyone help please...here's the situation. (BTW I am new to this)

I have a series of avi files which I want to convert to mpeg so I can watch it on my TV. On recommendation, I downloaded and installed TMPGEn. Converted one file (using defaults). Pictures are perfect but sadly :-( no sound

I have checked the posts in this forum and so far I cannot see one straight answer (remember I am new to this)

How do I get the audio? I asked for system (video & audio) when I encoded the avi file and yet no sound.

If I can stream the audio into a wav file using something esle, how do i combine the 2 files into a "working" mpeg file that I can burn to a CD?

Can someone pretty please give me a step by step instruction so I can reach my goal. Thanks

Use the following guide. It will definately help you

i get the ntdll.dll error and i realize this has been asked many times before, but all everyone says to do is install ffdshow,and it doesnt work. please help me out if anyone has any ideas.

i found out that XPress does the same thing i was wanting Plus to do and XPress worked fine with no errors, so i suggest getting XPress if you are getting this dumb error.

Wanna laugh,

for no good reason I decided to add a file to my dvd proggie for the hell of it being it was a ripped DVD just to see what would happen, now its a rip of that new flick "flying daggers" and the quality is gorgeous and I took a break to get a cup of coffee and answer a question in the TMPGenc forum for some poor dude, well I then opened my progiie and where it says add file or add DVD I hit add file and clicked on my VDV Rip file and my DVD drive in my NEC DVDRW went nuts........!! I mean NUTS.. It started revving like you were racing a car engine out of control, it went so fast that I actually got scared because I started smelling that burning plastic smell!! Lol I hope I didnt fry it and I doubt it but if anyone else wants a laugh try adding any MKV file and let me know what happens!! Oh and while were here and tho this is the wrong forum, I tried changing the value of my "priority" on my VFAPI plug in on my TMPGEnc proggie but I dont see how you guys do it?? I tried like right clicking so I could delete the value but to no avail, I uncheked and rechecked the DirectShow box in case that was how you did it, I see the value as -1 but I would like to set it to a normal or +2 if possible.......any idea's?

I keep getting a error while I encode. The error is just long numbers (2323532324) , what is going on?

I just downloaded TMPGEnc and it's freezing - and worse, it leaks all my ram to zero and then I have to hard boot. It's very very ugly.

Why is it doing this and what do I have to do to make it stop. It never begins to work on my avi video - it just stops right after I hit the start button, freezes, then leaks all the ram.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,
It would seem that there is a problem with your install to me. Its kinda tuff 2 say without knowing more but to make sure use your program add/remove tool and delete the download, grab another from this site and then reboot your PC do another install and BEFORE using reboot AGAIN, this to make sure of what we are starting out with, Ill check back in to se how you are making out, also tell us exactly which version you are using........ill be waitin on ya!

Hi, OK I tried this, although there was nothing to uninstall. I deleted the directory, rebooted and re-unzipped the free TMPGEnc (even though it says it's supposed to be free, I keep getting "YOu only have 27 days usage remaining" message.)

The problem happened when I changed the VFapi plugin settings. At least with those changes, I could get the .avi to load in both audio and video boxes. Now that I reinstalled and left it at factory settings, I can browse to the video, but it doesn't autofill the audio source box. (and the radio button area at the bottom right moves to Video Only). When I set to that selection back to video plus audio, and try to input the file as the audio source too, it gives me an error message that the audio file can't be supported or open. (other packages can open it.)

Hello,

I have installed the latest version of the AC3plugin (1.10), registered it, but the Environmental Settings window of TmpgEnc DVD Author (1.6.26.73, latest version too I think) still says 'Cannot find the Dolby Digital (AC-3) Encoder'.

Therefore I can not hear sound in the preview window (the DVDs generated do have sound though).

Can you help me with this ? I'm getting desperate, have tried everything I could think of.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello Everyone and Thank You for reading my post.

I am having problems encoding a WideScreen video in the QT .MOV format.

Essentially, the original .MOV file is already set in a "235 to 1" aspect ratio.

If I use the "16x9" option in TMPGEnc, I can preserve the aspect ratio and the video appears on screen just like any WideScreen DVD would, with the usual black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Unfortunately, and this is my main problem, the left and rigt edges are gtting cropped on every TV I play my new creation on.

I have tried adjusting other settings relating to "Aspect Ratio" in TMPGEnc, but I still have not found one that works.

Could anyone please help me with my problem?

Thanks for your time.

You will NEVER see the same amount of image on a TV as you will see on your monitor.

There is always a certain percentage of the image at all sides that is hidden in the overscan area of the TV and is perfectly normal.

I have used TMPGEnc Plus faithfully for a couple years without problems. Recently I added MPEG Editor to my PC for the added funcionability.

I also recently purchased a Digital Camcorder that uses MiniDV tapes. I have uploaded the video to my pc via the firewire and WinDV as an avi file. The problem I am having is that when I try to bring the avi file into TMPGEnc it only recognizes about the first four minutes of the file even though the file may be over 30 minutes long.

I have never experienced this before. Any ideas? I am stumped.
