i have just started using TMPGEnc plus 2.5 to covert my avi to dvd but i am having a problem when i add my avi in the wizard and get to step 4 in the movie info the lengh of the movie as doubled i.e a 1hr 30sec movie is shown as 3hr movie is this a problem with the software or is it something i am doing any help will be appreciated?
Im having problems myself with encoding but i've found some info that might help you out.. Visit the link below it basically explains about the video source when it has a seriously over estimated filesize and what to do about it. It happened to me a good few times, but for some reason the error doesnt happen as much now.. "http://www.afterdawn.com/faq/software_problems/tmpgenc_gives_wrong_time_for_file.cfm" I have problems when converting Xvid format Avi's to dvd, errors occur all the time Anyway enough of my own problems, hope this helps! Dan
Go into the "Source Range" settings and set the start and end Points of your File then it will read the Length correctly....
Thats basically what i suggested its just i showed him the site above so that it could be explained a bit more. It just happened to me actually lol! i've just reinstalled my machine ran tmpgenc for the first time, gave out the stupid over exaggerated filesize problem. But now its workin okay Ps, lets hope i dont get errors this time when i convert! Dan
error as usual! Does anyone know of a way to find out if an Avi file has errors or not? There's always some kind of problem/error when i encode videos! Dan
Hello all, just found this forum while searching for an answer to this problem. I have a number of AVI files I wish to put onto DVDs for a standalone player, I was advised to get TMPGenc products to solve this, so far I can't get TMPGenc 3.0 XPress to encode any file, I get the error message "There is no quoted number of character-string '%.2f' There is nop information in the helpfile on error messages. I have installed the K-lite mega codec pack (Ver1.4.7.0) and still no further forward. Does anyone have any suggestions? Cheers Dr_Stevil
Well it sounds like your File might be Corrupted or have corrupted sectors in it..... You might want to try a Different Encoder (MainConcept Encoder, or Tmpgenc Pluss might have better luck) but if you keep getting error messages then there is most likely something worng with the File in which case you could try running the File through a Video File Fixer like "Div-Fix" or "All Video Fixer"..... You could also run the File through "Virtual-Dub" and use it"s "Scan For Errors" feature and see what it finds.... Good luck
What should i do if the error check comes back negative and there arnt no errors? Im not too sure why the file cant just convert properly, one day my encoder works a treat the next it fails! lol pls help Dan
