TMPGEnc
 

does anyone use this for encoding mpeg's , i have been playing with it today and can manage to get spot on video , but no sound , am i doing something silly or what , i know my dvd player plays mpeg's with sound no problem but i cannot see why it wont work with this program , someone please help :confused:

Hi paulyoung666,

Used it a long time ago but can't remember exactly, something to do with creating the audio file seperate and then combine them, if you go here you will find plenty of info about encoding and the likes

Good luck

hi paul,

sometimes the divx audio is encoded in ac3 and other stuff. You will need to use another prog to rip the audio to wav and then use that as the source for tmpgenc. :)
I use Uleads encoder now as you can put front ends on your vcd's too.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh now theres summat , the audio on the divx is fine , gonna keep me busy this one i reckon :rolleyes:

right click on the divx and look in the properties, it will tell you what type of encoding the audio is in. There are also programs out there that will do a better job of telling you.

just checked and it is mpeg layer 3 , would that be the problem ?????????? :)

VirtualDub

:)

ok but is that my problem or not :D

hi paul us sorted it?
does the file play on the pc ok?
what is the source for the vid?

cheers kadcoms it was on the tip of my tongue:p

well were on the way i have ripped the audio using virtual dub and am now encoding using tmpe whatever it is called , 2 hours to go until i find out if it is another coaster :eek: :eek: :eek:

oh yes nice one guys , the virtual dub thing worked a treat , we have spot on video and audio , well happy , nice one :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Probably. If it is a PAL disc, then in theory it shouldn't be as the DVD spec for PAL discs allows for mpeg audio streams, and so your player should support it (that doesn't mean it does though). (The PAL spec allows for MPEG and PCM audio only) The DVD spec however does not allow for mpeg audio for NTSC discs (AC3 and PCM only).
Given however that AC3 is widely used for PAL discs - Dolby Digital is a form of AC3 - and mpeg is very rare (I'm not sure I've ever seen any commercial PAL discs with mpeg audio), a lot of manufacturers are dropping the mpeg audio support.

Basically your best bet is to use AC3 audio (as PCM takes up too much space).

A really good guide for tmpgenc can be found here also has lots of other usefull shit regarding ripping etc

thanks for the replies guys , its working fine now , if i had checked the mpeg before burning i would have known it was going to be a coaster , not to worry we are on it now :smokin:
