Hi, like the topic says, I can't seem to find how I would install a codec or where to get it. It seems when I try to convert some avi's of divx or xvid files, it's unsupported. So I tried looking around the help file and the website, but no luck.

Step by step instruction would be nice.

Thanks.

Just download and install FFDSHOW.

Hi,

I have a movie in .avi format, that i wanna record to a 4.7Gb/120min disk.

I use TMPG for about a minute of the film and previewed it.
It was working great until 5 seconds..THE SOUND SHUTS OFF!! But the video is still going. The video is fine but the sound is gone. -_- What happened? Do i not have something installed? I already installed AC3ACM.

Please help me, i would really appreciate it. Thank u so much in advanced. :D

What do you mean, the preview doesn't have sound?

Ah, I think I understand what you mean now. You did a test clip first.

Are you sure the AVI has AC3 audio?
If so then raise the priority of the 'VFW file reader' in the VFAPI plugins.

Hi all,

I am trying to de-multiplex and AVI file using TMPGEncÃÔ MPEG tools, but I canÃÕ import the AVI file into TMPGEnc.

The version of TMPGEnc I am using is: TMPGEnc Plus 2.521.58.169.

About the AVI file, here is what GSpot 2.2 says:
- Stream type : OpenDML AVI.
- Video format : XviD, 3 compatible codecs installed.
- Audio format : ac3 (0x2000) Dolby Laboratories, Inc, 3 compatible codecs installed.

Here is what I do in TMPGEnc: menu file then Å®PEG tools©ô. Then Å¥e-multiplex” tab. Then ÅÃrowse”. Then click on the AVI file.
I get this error dialog: Ūllegal MPEG system stream”.

I donÃÕ know whatÃÔ wrong with the file. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks.

Erm...well TMPG can't demux AVI's. The MPEGtools are for MPEGs only. If you want to demux the AC3 from the AVI then use Virtualdubmod.

I thought it was still some kind of MPEG as it is encoded with XVID, which is kind of MPEG4.
But thanks

If its not too much trouble, i would like to see, in a future version of TMPGEnc DVD Author, the chance to have multiple audio tracks and the option to have switchable subtitles because this is the only thing which TMPGEnc DVD Author is lacking (for me anyway). anybody else who would like to see these features added?

I agree DVD Author would be complete if it could handle multiple audio tracks and subtitles. The way the program has been improving I'm sure this will happen in the not so distant future.

Here is my wish list:

- Motion menu.
- Audio in the menu.
- More menu presets. The current ones are not eye-catching.

How do you format dixv avi files so that it's playable in a DVD, in that, when formating it doesn't shrink. My divx file is like a widescreen picture and when I format in shrink the file into a standard picture and that makes it look distorted.

Hi All, is there any scripting language that I can automate the conversion process? Please advices. Thanks a lot

How do you mean automate?
Automate what?

When converting avi to Mpeg2 I always get artifacts (blockiness) on dark scenes when played on PAL tv - It looks like the film is being viewed from behind a dirty glass filter (my tv screen is clean!!). THis does not happen in brightly lit scenes where the quality is awesome. PS I always encode with CBR and motion serach precision set to highest quality. ANy help with solving would be greatly appreciated - manyTIA

Your minimum bitrate is probably too low.
Increase the minimum bitrate until the effect disappears.
What bitrates and encoding method are you using?

Also do not use the 'highest quality' setting. It has no beneficial effect whatsoever apart from extending the encoding time considerably, use the 'high' setting.

All of the sudden TMPGEnc will not work. I have the free version and the registered Plus version, both of which I get the same message when attempting to convert an .avi file to .mpg - "c:my documentsmoviesexample.mpg can not be created". Does not tell me why though, that is all it says. I have never had this problem before and I am unaware of any environmental changes made to my pc. It is happening with any .avi file I attempt to encode. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Delete TMPGenc.ini from the TMPG folder.

I deleted the .ini file as suggested and when I started TMPGEnc back up and attempted to encode a file, I got the same message again. Anymore suggestions?

Is the source MPEG or AVI?

Hey guys, Sorry if this was already posted but I tryed looken for an awencer and found nothing. I recently got a tv tuner card and have been recording some shows. But when I try to cut the comercials out the sound is about 3 seconds off sync. I'm using MPEG-2 codec for video and MPEG-2 Audio Layer-II for audio. I'm pretty newbish to this stuff. Any help is much apprechated. Thanks for your time guys,

soj

Anyone know the way to put subtitles on the movies, like Virtual Dub but not on AVI´s on MPEG´s...
I hope someone can reads this.

Thanks.

VirtualDubMOD

What is your source, AVI or MPEG.
If it's AVI then you can add subs in the normal way with Virtualdub and then frame serve to TMPG.
If the source is MPEG then use Virtualdubmod as B_racer suggests and frame serve to TMPG.

However if the intended output is DVD then you could just author in the subs.

Will this program read a .vro file and play it. And then can I convert the file to another format such as MPG.
Thanks

I've just loaded the trial version on a new Dell PC running Windows XP Home - Every time I try to aquire a licence it tells me that my serial number has been cancelled. I'm concerned about paying for the full version, if I can't get the trial to work at all!

I too ran into this problem. Are you installing the program to the default directory? When I tried to install TMPGEnc to a different directory, I received an error message when I tried to activate the program. But when I uninstalled it, and re-ran the installer without changing anything during the setup, it worked fine.

A friend of mine is also having the same problem as you. I don't know how to fix it.
