I think you will need to start at the beginning with your avi file (You could have gone out and bought the dvd by now with all the effort being put in). Just a quick thought does you orignal divx file have sound. These files are noted for having bad video and audio. If not you can run it through a program called divfix (search and you will find it) to fix any errors with it. Then i would sugguest splitting the audio using virtual dub (search you will find to download)to create to a compatible dvd format 48000 hz wav file, There are guides for this on this forum and dvdrhelp as the process can be a bit tricky, then try re-encoding selecting your avi file for video, and your wav file for sound in tmpgenc. I am pretty sure you have to split the avi first as tmpgenc will only pick up the video only with avis. Thats the way i used to do my vcds/svcds before i got a dvd-burner and didnt have to many problems. Dont use the wizard on tmpgenc, at start up select dvd pal then hit cancel, and the encoding window will appear, find your sep wav file in the audio directory and avi file in the video directory. And type an approiate name in the output box ie, lotr.mpg, make sure you have the system (video+audio) (in system type) selected this will give you an mpg file with the video and audio file, if you select any of the others you will either get one file or two separate files (which you could still use but this is the easier option), hit encode and away you go again, this might be the problem in the first place you might have just encoded the video only. Then you can use tmpgenc dvd author to check if you file has video and sound in the chapter edit section. Then move onto to compiling your dvd. Have a look over at converting divx file in divx forum. _ _ _ _X_X_X_X_X_[small]a wise man one said...........[/small]
Umm, the video and audio is perfect on the original .avi file. Take notice that i'm still a ub3r n00b, and that i need n00b manuals in how to do that splitting thingy.. Preferably step by step =P Well, gonna try it out!
HAH.. i succeded.. in a way, ran trough the VirtualDub, splitted the movie into two parts.. like a guide said... just a slight problemo.. the sound is only 30secs after the video... Dunno if anything i did was right.. oh well
Hiya Paracite, THEN STOP, don't do anything more. Have a look at the Audio Source line and report back what is in there. Have Fun...
Hmmm.. Then it SHOULD give you a correct MPEG file, with audio AND video. I assume you have selected System (Video+Audio) under Stream Type (just to the right of the input stream area)?
Could the problem bee because the Stream Type in TMPGEnc 2.5 i use is System (Video+audio) not ES (Video+Audio) ?
You have to use the Template that corresponds with your Source AVI file..so if your Source AVI file is NTSC you have to encode it to NTSC and if it is Pal you have to encode it as Pal because Tmpgenc does not do proper Frame Rate conversions and if you try it the resulting file could be out of Sync and Have a Slight Jumpy Playback...If you want to convert NTSC/Pal you will have to use a different encodeing method or use a encoder than Can do proper Frame Rate conversions Like "Canopus Procoder"....
Well you can right click the File and go to "properties" and it should tell you the Frame rate if it is a Pal Frame Rate 25fps then encode it to Pal and if it is a NTSC Frame Rate of 23.976fps or 29.976fps then encode it to NTSC Luckilly for you Most all Pal DVD Players and TV sets can Display NTSC Material But not the other way arround...You can also find out the specs of your avi file by loading it into "Virtual Dub" and go to "File" to "File Information" and it should tell you the Frame rate of the File....Cheers Virtual-Dub-Mpeg2 http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/stable/VirtualDub-MPEG2.zip
Ok, so let's just say my files r NTSC, and since our TV only plays PAL.. do i convert it as a NTSC using TMPGEnc 2.5, and then use Canopus Procoder to Convert it to PAL.. or how?
Well If you happened to have Procoder you would just use it to encode your NTSC AVI file to a Pal Mpeg file...Procoder is also a superior Quality encoder so you should get better quality useing it....Cheers
k.. i'm back =P (havn't yet finnished my last convertion) now i'm trieing to encode Bad Boys 2, open TMPGEnc I either load the template the way the movies frame rate is (NTSC or PAL).. or i manually set the settings, either way, when i browse the movie.. all i get is the Video Input... no Audio input. why?
Well as you should know Tmpgenc and other Mpeg encoders do not like Compressed Audio In AVI files so if you haven"t either decompressed the audio within the AVI file or Extracted the audio from the AVI file to Wav format you will not get any audio Output...What I use the Works Great and is Fairly Fast to decompress audio in AVI files is Decompress.exe it comes with the AVI2VCD Package but the AVI2VCD Program it"s self Sucks the Decompress.exe program is very usefull...If you can not find it let me know and I can send it to you or you can use Virtual Dub to Do it..The way you use Virtual Dub to decompress the audio is Run V-Dub then load in your AVI file go to "Video" and set it to "Direct stream Copy" and go to "Audio" and set it to "Full Processing Mode" then under "Audio" go to "Compression" and set it to "None" and now go to "File" to "Save AVI" and save the File and in a Few Minutes you will have a New AVI file with Uncompressed Audio that you can encode normally in Tmpgenc....Cheers
Mmmh, tried to do it with VirtualDub, but got the msg, "No Audio decompressor could be found to compress the source audio format".. Then tried AVI Audio Decompressor Ver. 1.4 looked good and decompress succesfull... and it double the movies size from 700mb to 1,3 gb, but then when i try to encode it with TMPGEnc, it tells me "Invalid Pointer Opperation" + i keep getting those stupid read error msg's every time i try to encode with TMPGEnc... and these movies have the audio input ready! i.e 2 Fast 2 Furious & legally Blonde.. getting annoying.. if it aint 1 problem, it's another 1 =)
