I'm trying to convert an AVI file so I can stick it on a VCD and watch it, but it's giving me problems. It's only 51 minutes long and 578 megs in size, but when I stick it into TMPGEnc, it tells me it's 96 minutes long and it'll end up being like 961 megs. I've been using this program for years and I've never had this problem. Can someone help?
I have an MPEG file about 1 hour 20 minutes long. I am using the "clip frame" option to get out some VHS tracking lines. When it is done the audio is out of sync. I seached all the previous posts and can't find anything of help.
All I am doing is cutting out a few lines at the top and bottom and the audio is off. I tried it several times several different ways, even clipping the same amount off the top and sides and still in is off. Yes my original file is fine and there are no dropped frames.
PLEASE HELP!!
If all you are doing is simply clipping the frame then don't bother re-encoding the audio.
Just create a 'Video' only MPEG then use the simple multiplexer in the MPEG tools to mux your audio back in to the video.
I've checked all over and can't find the MPEG tools. How do you get to them? All the help file tells you is how to use them but not how to get to them.
Thanks.
I was using the wizard which is why I couldn't find the tools. Anyway I did it just like you said, 6 hours later they are still out of sync. Any other ideas?
Is the audio advanced or delayed.
You can use the 'audio gap correct' function in the 'source range' function to correct sync issues.
Just do a small test clip to get the sync right first.
just started using this wonderful (or so i have been told as i can't get mine to go quite right) tool and when i have finished encoding i have beautiful, really nice image able to fit on 1 cd and an audio file that has either just the instrumental sounds that go with the title names such as (searchlight or whatever)
and then no audio whatsoever or staight out no audio... my codex i assume is fine since i sometimes get some sound... what am i doing wrong??? anyone???
ty for any help
I have had the same issue.
I converted an .avi file to .m2v and .wav (to write to dvd format), only the first few seconds of audio exist then it's silent for the rest.
Source video codecs:
video: XviD 1.1.0
audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 / 48000Hz 128 kb/s tot , Joint Stereo
Using TMPGenc 2.5 (Free).
I get a working .m2v video file, and a 1GB .wav file with only sound for the first few seconds.
My system can play the source video fine with sound.
I have attempted to convert to .mpg and also to .m2v+.mp2, both of which also have the same sound issue.
If I go to the setting>audio tab and click the setting button the sound I can play there is the same length as the sound that is heard after transcoding (14seconds).
When I encode a 24 minute AVI video, the output Mpeg is about 3-4 minutes shorter. I have tried using the Source Range option and that doesn't seem to work. I have searched this whole forum and haven't found a working fix. Anybody have any ideas?
Is it an AVI?
Bump up the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' in the VFAPI plugins to top of the list.
If that doesn't solve it then try putting the VFW or AVI2 decoder to top of the list.
If that fails then install FFDSHOW.
If all else fails then you will have to frame serve the file from AVISYNTH or Virtualdub.
I had the same problem. I had a PAL movie that I wanted to convert to NTSC. The movie should be about 97 minutes long but TMPGenc only would encode the first 78 minutes and then it stopped without giving me an error. The problem was that the source was set at "Video" and it should be "Film". After I changed that setting everything was alright.
I have avi files that I wish to convert to mpeg's I set the encoder, it goes through the motions, but all there is, is a blank screen, I can hear it but not see it! any suggestions?
How do you convert a avi that has subtitles to work on standard dvd players
I have tryed useing different programs such as nero a dvd santa and done such things such as changeing the frame size and aspect ratio but each time I do
the subtitles are always below the screeen where you can just varly see the top of them Sorry But Iam kinda of green at this.
can any one help ive got two films in xvid format audio mpeg layer3 ,video xvid compression,but when trying to convert to mpeg or to disk it says it exeeds file size on disk
I have tried TMPGEnc to convert various files from MPEG2 to MPEG1 (My old video editor only accepts MPEG1), but I cannot make it work. The sound works fine, but I always have a still image (both in the preview and when playing the resulting file). The image displayed is either the 1st picture of the movie or the last one, depending on the format settings for the conversion. The source data are acquired in 728x576 MPEG2 format (I don't have more information about the actual encoding format). Does anybody have an idea on how to make it work, or know a free tool that could be used for this conversion? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
PS: if anybody knows about the binary format of MPEG headers, I am also interested (It would help me to provide more information about the encoding...)
Just bought Tmpgenc 3.0 Express Installed it tried to run it, splash screen? comes up then immediately a box appears that says "Unable to use Windows Media
9 Technology. Please verify Windows Media Player9 is properly installed." I click the OK box and Express closes. and won't start. Never had a problem before with media player 9, did go to control panel and selected repair option for media player 9, didn't help. Bought it can't run it so far. OS is XP professional any suggestions?
is there any way posssible to speed up the analyzing? only thing i did was resize the video and im doing it on tons of tons of videos and it takes about 2 1/2 hours each movie. just wondering if there is a way to speed it up. thanks
resizeing ttakes up a fare amout of cpu power and alalyzing actually encodes the video (look for the hidden temp file) at full quality then decides which parts it can pull for the 2nd pass. so the ony way you can speed it up is to a) have the resize turned off of b) the source is already the proper size. if you are worinkg with 720x480 film :) then you are stuck like chuck
I am new to this program and am a very green novice in need of direction. I am trying to convert a MWAV file from Windows Movie Maker to MPEG. When the conversion reaches 100% everything just stops. I see from a previous post that it is writing the headers. How long should that take? I have left it for over an hour with no change. Will I get a message when the conversion is finished. I have tried exiting and burning my VCD but the movie freezes up in various frames. I would appreciate any help you can offer. I have been working on this for days and need it for a Christmas gift. Thanks.
It shouldn't take long to write the headers, but it depends on your system. We're talking less than a minute here.
Best thing to do is set the end point of the file a second just before it finishes using the source range function and raise the priority of the 'Directshow file reader' in the VFAPI plugins to top of the list.
