Using TMPGEnc DVD writing tool in dvd author 1.5 or 1.6,
get the message "ordinal 3001 not found in module px.dll"
tried copying px.dll to dvd author directory and same thing.
Any ideas ???

I had the same problem with TEMPGEnc Author 1.6 when starting burning a DVD;

I got px.dll Version 1.8.34.500 from sonic solution and copied it into the programm folder of TMPGEnc and now it works fine (the dll in Windowssystem32 did not help!)

I am trying to import my mpeg 2 4:2:2 file but i keep getting an invalid sample format error code 0x80048002. Does anyone know why its rejecting my video? I only have the trial version, as obviously, i want to see if it will work. I am using it to join compatible MPEG files into one file.

MPEG2 4:2:2? That's HP@HL or 422P@ML, not MP@ML, maybe that's the reason

>I had this problem and fixed it by removing an ac3 filter.

I am using the Ace mega codec pack.

Using the ace dashboard, this is in the filter section, AC3 filter audio decoder 1.01a file AC3filter.ax.

I got the file name from Gspot.

Remove it using ace or use Gspot to change the merit so that it wont be used.

You can use Intervideo,Intervideo audio decoder 5.3.5.20 file Iviaudio.com or
Moonlight odio dekoda 1.26b4 file mlcom.ax.

Nero came with Nero digital audio decoder, file neaudio.ax. This also works.

Ace says that the moonlight is poor quality so I am using intervideo.

I have just downloaded the trial version of TMPGEnc Version 2.521 and am trying to convert OMA audio files to MP2 I can do this but when i play the converted file the sound goes the file carries on playing. so i wondering if this is because it ia a triel version.

No it's a protection with OMA files. The OMA decoder will only decode the first 30 seconds of the file.
You need to convert the OMA to CD audio or MP3 with Soundstage first.

How can i add an srt file into the mpeg so its saved as a single file

You want a Subtitle-Track?
In this case, you need a Tool like DVDLab PRO, DVDAuthor + DVDAuthor GUI or IFOEdit with SRTtoSUB.

Unfortunatly, TDA, the DVDAuthoring-Tool from Pegasys, is still not able to include Subtitles.

Hi,

I am getting the following error message when oupting files in Xpress 3.0:

'Invalid sample format 0x80048002'

Can anybody tell me why this is happening? Cheers

Bizt

had this same message.
does not occur using tmpgenc 2.5 plus.

same thing here.
Using TMPGenc 3 Express.
Was trying to output 2nd half of 2-part image.

look here for a possible answer - http://www.moviecodec.com/thread/3430.html

>I have same problem.
What is the deal with this software. I have yet to sucessfully encode and burn an AVI,Divx or Xvid to DVD with TMPGEnc express 3.0.
Either I get the same error as above , or the program just shuts down in the middle. Other programs (DVDSanta,WINAVI) work but I sure wish I could get my 50 bucks worth from this purchased software.
Hey support..... a little help please!

I am still pretty vague on this stuff myself but I found an answer to this at the URL offered by Tall Steve. The problem is that the AC3 audio codec filter doesn't appear to be compatible with TMPGEnc 3.0 and the process halts with the error when TMPGEnc tries to write the audio layer. I also had problems with previewing the .avi files in TMPGEnc which is another indicator that a compatible audio codec was available. I downloaded the ACE Mega Codecs Professional pack and installed the audio codec I needed from that.

The 'Invalid sample format 0x80048002' error looks to be caused by an audio codec problem when decoding a video+audio input file -- I've seen it happen with MP3 audio when ffdshow was installed.

To solve the problem, try the following:

Use Render in GSpot to find out which audio codec is being used, and then inhibit the use of that codec by uninstalling, disabling, or lowering its priority.

In the case of the MP3 codec in ffdshow, all that was needed was to use ffdshow -> Audio Filter Configuration to set the ffdshow MP3 codec to Disabled.

i have tried all that. ac3 is a caunsing the problem so i disabled it in ACE Codecs now I get this error.

I am trying to re-encode a mpg file from a bin and cue set. The mpg plays fine in windows media but when I try to open it in the tpmgenc 2.5 project wizard it says that the file can't open or is unsupported. I have changed the showtime setting in the enviroment tab to no avail. I also downloaded and installed the ffdshow to no avail. I have no idea what to do now. Any help is much appreciated.

I'm assuming you have extracted the MPEG from the BIN.
Download the codec below and put it in the TMPG folder.

Hi,

I am getting the following error:

No quoted number of character-string '%.2f'

I have read some of the other posts and replies and they mention stuff about disk space, FAT32/NTFS and cache settings.

I have 38gig free and my HDD is formatted as NTFS so it shouldnt be that. How do I alter the cache settings and what should I set it to? Cheers

Bizt

Same goes with me, and it started doing it this morning, with no modifications whatsoever... It worked fine last evening.

I also had this problem. I'm not sure what causes it, but I was able to work around it by using an avisynth script that refered to the the video source instead of using the source video directly. To try this, install avisynth (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=Avisynth). open an empty text file and type:

AVIsource ("C: empSource[filename.avi]")

where c: emp is the drive letter/path of the video file you are trying to encode. Save the file with a .avs extension, and then open this file in Tmpgenc instead of the origional source file. Worked for me, hope it works for you.

(hope this goes through)

Feste

youre wicked mate
without your kind offering of assistance on the net i wouldnt have been able to solve the same problem!

However I like to raise, for following opportunists, that the [ and the ] are not required in the link to the filename. Hence should read

AVIsource ("C: empsourcefilemane.avi"

Thanks a lot!

Thats

AVIsource ("C: empsourcefilemane.avi")

for correction.

THIS IS A POST FOR MICHELLE - HA HA - IM ON THE NET AGAIN! YOU SEE ME IN HERE ?

Sweet shell she is ;-D

Nice one Feste and site runners!

Just had the same problem myself.

2 things I changed

# The filename - it contained a few extra unneeded chars.
# The location of the output file - a drive with more free space.

Take your pick which may work for you.

Emale.

I had this error and changed the drive I was exporting to. I changed it from E: (80gb with 45gb free) to c: (40gb with 15gb free) and it exported no problems. Weird

How do I put two MPEG2 files together´with TMPGEnc 2.521 free?

Need Help soon.

Thanks

Use the Merge&Cut feature in the MPEG tools.

when selecting video CD Pal template, it clearly states 352x288 however the resulting output is 312x288 and it displays black bars in media player. I have nos such problem with Tmpeg 2.5 Plus

the mpeg2 section works fine, no problems at all

I solved that myself

On the video tab I can mpgeg2 set Encode Mode to non-interlace. If this de-interlaces during encoding, how is it different from the Deinterlace option on the Advanced tab?

Non-Interlace simply means encode to progressive frames.
De-interlace means blend 2 seperate fields into one frame or remove one of the 2 fields.

Encoding to Non-Interlace will NOT de-interlace a movie. It will simply encode both fields into one progressive frame.
This is fine with PAL sources, however if this is done with NTSC sources it can cause interlacing artifacts such as combing on moving verticals unless the source is de-interlaced first.

Thanks - that's made it clear to me. If I encode an interlaced file to progressive I should choose a de-interlace filter, and equally I shouldn't use the de-interlace filter without choosing to encode to progressive.

I am curious about why PAL would be different though - I asked about de-interlacing because I am backing-up NTSC camcorder DV to disk, I also have I some old PAL tapes that I was planning to copy too. Won't the interlacing for PAL work the same as NTSC (apart from having more scan-lines and lower frame rate)?

Your right in your first assumptions.

Why the difference with PAL? Well it all depends on the source really.
I'll start with DVD.

NTSC DVD's use something called 3:2 pull down or Telecine. This is a method of turning a progressive 23.976 fps source into an interlaced 29.97 fps source to comply with NTSC standards. This process can also be reversed by using inverse telecine.
Basically what happens is flags are added to the encoded material which tells a player to repeat certain fields in a frame. What this acheives is an extra 6 frames a second.

However due to how the process works the fields become displaced, by that I mean that field 1 and field 2 are not in the same frame. They may be adjacent.
If you were to attempt to encode this type of material as progressive, you would see interlacing artifacts due to the fact that the fields are displaced.
You can see examples of this if you search for 3:2 pulldown on Google.

The difference with PAL DVD is that a process called 2:2 pulldown is used, basically all this is, is a frame split into 2 fields, however this time the fields belong to the same frame, so in reality you could treat each frame as progressive.
The frame rate is then speeded up 4% to 25fps and the audio is adjusted to compensate.

Now things change when we deal with PAL footage from an interlaced camera.
These cameras also displace the fields, so you cannot treat the frames as progressive, you need to deinterlace. The same goes for NTSC cameras.

You should find that if your source is interlaced from a camera and you encode it to interlaced then you shouldn't experience any artifacts on your TV.
If you attempt to watch this type of footage on a progressive display such as your monitor you will see the artifacts unless you use a de-interlace filter such as a BOB filter.

These things are hard to explain without examples, so I have linked to a few below.
http://nickyguides.digital-digest.com/interlace.htm

Thanks for the explanation, I hadn't considered the effects of pulldown. I've also bookmarked the link so I can refer to it - it looks very useful.

Okay I have a slight problem. I've been trying to put an avi onto a VCD with no success for most of the day. My problem is, no matter what I try, I cannot get ANY sound to come up. Kicker is that I can listen to the sound just fine in Winamp, but when I try to encode to MPEG1, I get nothing.

The AVI requires XviD and AC-3, which I have both installed. Any ideas?

I did find a work around, but took longer than I planned.

First I just opened the Video in Winamp, and went into the preferences then to Output. I chose Nullsoft Disk Writer. I hit play and let it go.

Since TMPGEnc has where you can choose a separate audio source, I went under C: (where I told Disk Writer to make the wav) and chose it. Worked like a charm. I definately don't want to do this again, but I know that it works.

In the future, it would be nice if someone could find a better way to make TMPGEnc properly do this.

If anyone knows of a fix, please feel free to reply.

You need the filter below for AVI with AC3 in TMPG.

i have the exact same problem. i installed the ac3 codec from the link but still nothing.
Do i have to select it at the environmental settings or something?

Is there a max file size that can be edited ? I have a 19 GB MPG2 file that's about 9 hours. DVD Author will only recognize the first 6 hours and 37 minutes.

JSN

The Limit is 8.68 GByte. The Maximum you can store on a Dual-Layer DVD.

Thanks. However, I routinely edit files as large as 15 GB. I'm not talking about how large a file can be burned, but rather, how large a file can be edited.

JSN

Use the Freeware MPEG2Schnitt or Cuttermaran for a propper MPEG2-Cutting/Editing.

Thanks, I'll check them out.
