TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) EPkRt Profile Anyone tried to use TMPGEnc to combine the files? I keep getting "can not open or unsupported" when I try to select the video stream "program1.m2v". Ideas? 06-09-2001 11:36:37

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) TvHkr Profile Same Here - I tried Medium and Basic Rates. Maybe nickhull could give us some details on what his setttings were. 06-09-2001 12:26:59

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) EPkRt Profile Well, he did supply the settings in the TiVo-VCD.mcf file, but it still gives that error. 06-09-2001 12:39:36

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) TvHkr Profile Maybe it worked with an older version? Nickhull - what version TMPGEnc did you use? 06-09-2001 12:51:50

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) wmelnick Profile | Email There are a few things you need to know to use tmpgenc properly. first of all, a lot of what it can do is dependent on what you have loaded on your pc. you must have codecs to properly decode the m2v stream in place before tmpgenc can work with it. I know that my machine with my vidcap cards works fine with m2v files, but the one without the normal video (output only) card does not work. You might try loading up some mpeg2 drivers.

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) Fugg Profile i can play the dumped m2v files on my win98 media player, plays fine(codec's ok?) "unsupported" in tmpeg. what specific codec's do i need? (i got buttloads installed already) 06-10-2001 18:04:57

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) TvHkr Profile Thanks for the info wmelnick - I installed DVD player software and it works now. 06-10-2001 18:50:47

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) Fugg Profile i loaded atidvd 6.2. it, as every other player on my system, plays the m2v file just fine. tmpeg, still "unsupported". what dvd player did you install??!?! HELP!!! :) (i'm so close!) 06-10-2001 19:06:31

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) Fugg Profile nevermind, i believe the video is corrupted... bummer... 06-10-2001 21:11:03

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) TivoJoe Profile I can't use the main page of TMPGEnc, but the Single-Multiplex option on the MPEG Tools menu will create a usable .mpg file. At the main page, I load TiVo-VCD.mcf but all my .mv2 files yield a 'can not open or unsupported' error. Any ideas? 06-10-2001 21:24:52

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) dralston Profile Yep I installed power dvd and now the MPEG tools single multiplex works but the main screen on TMPGenc doesn't. I have a feeling the video streams we're creating are pretty marginal in terms of meeting the MPEG 2 specification :) 06-10-2001 22:43:01

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) dralston Profile You can use the TMPGenc Mpeg Tools to multiplex and then demultiplex to get audio and video streams that work with TMPGenc. It would be nice to create a .MCF file for creating an hour long SVCD from a TiVo recording. I want to try out the two pass VBR encoding and see how that works. 06-11-2001 00:31:29

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) nickhull Profile I don't believe that the MPEG-2 streams are 'marginal' by any means. Try using ligos as your driver. There are others that work too, but if you can play a video-only stream using Windows Media Player and ligos it's a really good test. For me, TMPGenc has worked 100% for streams that ligos can play. However - work is in progress to correct a couple of bugs that can produce an invalid video stream. You may be suffering from this. Post your results - and maybe try Extracting a different recording and see if that works. Nick 06-11-2001 08:54:52

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) drleephd Profile Just thought I should mention it, Alot of TMPG questions and VCD questions can be resolved at www.vcdhelper.com, if you haven't been there, you should, they have ALOT of useful info on DVD player VCD compatability, VCD, SVCD, XVCD, MiniDVD, etc. just figured It should be noted somewhere 07-01-2001 01:45:10

RE:TMPGEnc (modified 0 times) bizzybody Profile | Email Try www.videohelp.com instead. The person responsible for paying the domain registration for vcdhelper.com was late with a payment one month and some porn site registered it. vcdhelp.com and dvdrhelp.com have been combined into www.videohelp.com now. 11-10-2004 23:37:53
