Occasionally, when I convert an AVI file to MPG, there is no audio whatsover on the resulting MPG file. Why? Is it a problem with the AVI source?

I have done nothing different when this happens. I simply choose my video source, name the output file,and press 'Start' to begin the process, just like I do for all the other successful conversions.

Open your video (avi) file with VirtualDub. Seperate the sound from your avi file saving a wav file using virtual dub:

Open your sound (wav) file using CoolEdit 96:

Listen to it and look at the graphic representation to see if it drops off at any point. Normalize the sound to at least 95% and save it as a different name.

Use the avi file as your video source and the wav file as your audio source using TMPGEnc to make a mpg file.

Have converted AVI files to DVD format using Winavi. Tried to open the VIDEO_TS folder with TMPGenc DVD Author 1.6, in order to create a menu, but i get a strange error. A small window with an X in it. This same exact error right here:

I see no one answering this question. Any answer to this at all?

Did you use the Button "Open DVD Video"?

Yes i did.

i get the same error 2 :(

I also get this message. I'm using the latest version of DVD Author.

i get this error too. anyone know why this error pops up? i thought it was the encoder i was using, but TMPGEnc DA usually opens DVD files encoded with the program im using (ConvertXtoDVD and WinAVI).

Is there a way to force "Full Screen (keep asprect ratio)" as default under Settings->Advanced->Video Arange Method? Currently only "Full Screen" is set as default and I haven#t figured a way to change this.
What parameters do I have to change in my Template in order to change it?
Here is my current template:

I converted an avi to mpeg and now the music is breaking up on the vcd, how can I correct this problem?

if the audio bitrate is too low for the channels used (ie 128k stereo) then this will happen , either swith to mono or increase the audio bitrate, also try getting rid of joint stero if used as some dvd playes cant handle it and also VCD is 44KHZ not 48KHZ

I know the answer to this must be rather simple, yet in several days of trying out the program and reading up as much as I can, I have yet to figure out how to be able to use custom made buttons and frames. I use GIMP to create the images I want to be able to use, but where do I put these image files, so that they can be made available for choices once one gets into "Create New Theme". I've put them into the "..\TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6\Template\User" as well as "..\TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6\Template\Data\Frames" as ".psd" files (even tried renaming thses ".psd" to "".tme" to no avail. But no matter what I do, I can't get the images to show up as choices for frames in the "Create Menu Theme". Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Zortag: It's only 2 years (and 2 months) since your post, but I see it had no replies! (Hope that doesn't mean that I won't get an answer to my very first post a few minutes ago.) That too was about customised buttons. If you are by some chance still around, and see this, perhaps you could help please?

Meanwhile, I'm sure you've resolved your own question by now, but if not...
Just place the image file (JPG/BMP/PSD/etc) anywhere and then use Edit menu Theme > Edit to browse to it.

Can I convert quicktime mov files by tmpgenc.
Or should I use another program.

as long as you have a DShow filter installed (QT does not do this) then you can do it look at quick time alternative

I can't use tmpgenc 2.524.

Because [Can't load "P3Package"]

Help me please.

Have you extracted the entire .zip file into a separate directory? You're probably runing the .exe file from inside the zip folder that's why the P3Package.dll file doesn't load correctly. Just extract the entire .zip into a new folder and run the TMPGEnc.exe file from there.

Has anyone experienced the problem of the last few minutes on a file that has been merged messing up? I have the audio but the video freezes. I have tried re-encoding and it still messes up. Everything's fine up to the last few minutes. This particular time, I merged four 60-minute mpeg's.

Hi!

Why is it that the maximum bitrate is only 8000Kb/s??. Why can't i set it to 9000kb/s? If i try to set it any higher it only changes it back.
