TMPGEnc Common Problems!

    Dela: My encoding happens at night when sys resources are highest - as for the SSRC and tooLAME - I'll run a search for those; have no clue what they are. You think that would help with my audio sync issue?

    Basically, they are external encoders. tooLame is an MP2 encoder and SSRC is an external Sampling Frequency Converter. It helps avoid a lot of audio problems and sync problems usually!

    Dela: Okay! In my search for these tools last night I found "Main Concept MPEG Encoder" -- and it actually encoded my files perfectly in 1/3rd the time TMPEGEnc did/does. Now, the only problem I have is, why, when I drag-n-drop my 736meg mpg file into my authoring progam does it take up 1.37 gigs of space?! This is the typical problem I've always had - I can only get 1 hour of recording on my DVD -- is there a way I can get around this? Again, I'd like to be able to fit at least five 23 min. shows on one DVD-R. Thanks for your help! :)

    Dela: Well, I've tried DVD-lab (trial) and for some reason it doesn't recognize my MPG's (??), and TMPGEnc DVD Author is asking for some kind of native file (mvk or something) - so I had to go back to Roxio DVD Builder - which I've used successfully from day one to create excellent quality DVD's -- but three 20 min. shows on on DVD-R burns up a helluva lot of media. There has to be a workaround that I'm missing...??

    hmmmm, this is pretty strange, are you sure ur producing fully compliant DVD files???

    Also, when you use roxio does it try to re-encode the files?

    Dela: yes, Roxio appears to re-encode the files - which only nominally affects the video quality. I'm thinking I'm going to have to convert these AVI files to VOB files with an IFO so that DVD shrink can shrink them -- but that just feels stupid. There has to be a better way. As far as DVD compliant files, how would you ever know?

    Well for example with TMPGEnc do you use the Project wizard to encode DVD Complaint mpeg's???

    Well there could be a lot of causes to this mate like..

    1. when building the dvd a lot of data was lost because of other programs hogging resources.

    2. DVD player might not play DVD+/-R well

    3. Your choice of blank media might need changing, not all DVD-R's work!

    Buty if you used TMPGEnc it would change the framerate properly, i dont see why it would act in this way!

    after reading the tmpeg files i now have more questions. i have to fix the audio on most of the movies and it is getting tiresome. is there to encode a movie and have the audio be in sync with the video?yaavi works but i have to use the trial and error merhod. you know ,try this because it worked last time. all i want is to download a movie, encode it, and then author it and then put it on a dvd-r and watch the movie. HELP

    i have never heard of those. i download movie(two parts) i play each part(ok) i join the parts together,(play movie for errors) run thru converter to change to avi, check movie in divx repair. i encode with tmpeg. half the time the movie comes out fine, other half the audio is out of sync. should i seperate the audio from video and then encode and author or what?as for the programs you named i know nothing.
