Encoding

[cdawg]

Hope this in the right place didnt know if i should put it here or problems.....

Ok here i go.......

I have tried to download movies from kazaa and they play fine in any software but, when I try to encode them to vcd/svcd my computer restarts/crashes. Any program I try does this (tmpgenc, avi2vcd, and panasonic mpeg1 encoder) I can encode the file in nero but the nero encoded files are blurry.

Ok that was the problem here is what i have done.....

I have saved the avi file from vdub, audio/direct stream copy and video/direct stream copy. I have checked for bad frames in vdub and divfix and it turned up nothing.

Plz help me I am at my wits end.

[cdawg]

AMD athlon xp 2200
512 ddr ram
120gig hdd (78 free)
radeon 9700 pro 128mb

No errors really but this is the stuff:

Tmpgenc: just dissapears and makes a beep / or restarts computer

Avi2vcd: restarts computer

Panasonic encoder: Fatal error occured

Aslo, i have all of the codecs gspot and avicodec said was needed. (divx4/video mpeg layer 3/audio)

[cdawg]

any clue?

[Proper Bo]

It def aint down to your spec. Mine's only 900mhz and 128 ram and TMPGEnc works fine for me. That's as far as my knowledge on this subject goes :)

That didn´t help much,that tells only what codec the movie uses but I wanna know all codecs you have installed like Nimo Pack or stuff cause they may cause conflicts with each others.


And can you post a screenshot of that picture when using GSpot instead of all that text cause it will be much easier then to see if you have the right codec.

[cdawg]

Here you go. IU think this is what u r talking about. Also, the only codes i have installed have been the mpeg layer 3 audio thing and divx 5.03.

I cant see your picture,and there is a new version of DivX,install that one instead but uninstall the old one first.

This is what I have installed on my computer.

DivX 3.11 (http://www.land.ee/d_divx_codec.html)
DivX 5.05 (http://www.divx.com/divx/)
Xvid (http://www.roeder.goe.net/~koepi/xvid.shtml)
AC3 (http://www.divxsweden.net/program/filer/ac3codec.rar)

It plays DivX,Xvid and movies with AC3.
There is other good codecs like Ligos and .ogg but I haven´t got a movie with using those codecs yet so I haven´t installed it.

[cdawg]

Ok update, maybe this wil tell you what is going on.
I opened the avi in vdub then under video i changed the compression to microsoft mpeg-4 and it worked. It converted to svcd with no problems. What is going on? Can my computer not do divx? It plays it in wmp with divx. Hope this helps.

okay thats strange,dud you tried to change the VFAPI plug-in order in TMPGenc--->option--->Enviromental settings--->VFAPI plug-in?
Mine is set like this and it encodes even with AC3 but I have another version of AC3,not the one from K-Lite Codec Pack and this is how I set it:

DirectShow Multimedia File Reader........4
AVI2(OpenDML) File Reader...................1
AVI VFW compatibility Reader................0
Microsoft MPEG-1 Decoder.....................0
Wave File Reader...................................0
BMP/PPM/TGA/JPG File Reader..............-2
TMPGEnc Project File Reader 2.58........-2

[cdawg]

Ok i will try that.

I have one more question. I burned the svcd yesterday and i used this setting full screen (same aspect ratio) and it had the borders at top and bottom and i dont want that. I encoded the vcd (nero) a couple of weeks ago and it took about 1 inch off of each and i dont want that either. Is there a way to have the movie just fit the screen without borders or being off the screen? I guess it is a widescreen movie..... Thank you for your help.

[Crack_man]

Try change it to ONLY fullscreen

[cdawg]

Ok the full screen thing did it but I tried to encode it while it was in divx and sure enough my computer restarted. Encoded it again except this time in mircosoft mpeg 4 and it encoded........

My questionis: WTF ??? :angry:

[JaVnI]

Thats a common problem but it doesn't bother me. I get like half an inch cut off each side
