I have searched the forum high and low and tried several things but with no luck. I downloaded an SVCD movie and I am trying to re-encode to a lower bitrate and make a single disk VCD. I am using TMPGenc. I used GPSOT to see the codecs used to make the SVCD. Its says the video is OVERLAY MIXER2 and the audio is MORGAN STREAM SWITCHER. Never heard of those. Can anyone help? If so, thanks! If not, thanks anyways!!!
Im not sure this will help, but do you have the tmpengenc mpeg2 plugin installed, may help you im not sure in encoding down to vcd but its worth a try, also in you environmental settings, vfapi plugin, increase or decrease the priority settings will sometimes let you encode a video that tmpgenc wont accept at first, in this case it would be trial or error good luck Ibonik
You can get the tmpgenc mpeg2 vfapi-plugin from this website http://missinglink.systems.ne.jp/008.html
I hate to be a pain in the butt! But! I cant read anything from that link. Its all Japanese. I tried but couldnt seem to find that plugin. I DO have 2 MPEG2 plugins for TMPGenc. One of them is Cyberlink MPEG2 Decoder from my DVD software and the other is MPEG2 Video Plugin. Is that sufficient? Maybe I just need to play around with the priorities. I hate to rack everyones brains with my problem. Thanks again!!
Alright guys I think I have got it. I did the header change trick so that TMPGenc will think it is a VCD and then moved the 2 MPEG2 plugins to priority 1 and it seems to have worked. I tried the header trick before but never tried the priority adjustment in conjunction with it. Thanks for the tips and if it ends up not doing the trick I will let you know. Later!
Here is a website with some infor on the morgan stream switcher, it could be of some help to you also http://www.morgan-multimedia.com/mmswitch/
Ibonic! That tip about increasing prioty settings in the VFAPI options fixed countless problems I was having opening WinDVR MPEG2 caps in TMPGEnc. Thank you. Whooooooooop!
