TMPGNec problem please help

trying to load my ac3 audio file into the audio section. its giving me the " not supported message." how do Iget tmpgnce plus to accept the mpeg file?

Why dont you try reading the sticky on codecs on this page first!!!
Before making multipul threads about the same topic

hmm i think i understand what nykid is going through.

i installed a bunch of junk on my comp. and yes of course when i had to reformatt.

tmpg wouldn't take the ac3 file. or rather tmpg dvd source creator processed the vid fine.

but no sound on the wave file. and yes i had ac3 filter instaled. (and it's till installed.ha ha)


however installing the ac3 acm decopressor which yes is mentioned in the codecs sticky.

but i understand the panic on nykids part. because i bet he has ac3 filter on his comp....


anyway nykid. it may not work on your comp but for me. the addition of the ac3 acm decompressor did the trick and tmpg handles/processes ac 3 stuff.now...

so keep both. ha ha...

thanks for the help..the multiple post was an error. \

so i installed ac3 filter and the xvid link like in the sticky. now what do I do with my audio file? its still not recognized by tmpgeplus.

did you also install the ac3 acm decompressor ???

Yes I downloaded it and installed it in the same folder as tmpgenc plus. it still wont recognize the file am i doing something wrong? apparently my files are in vob and pal format so I used dvd2avi to seperate the audio from video. now I have a video file in mpg format but its ac3.

I right clicked on the setup file installed the ac3 acm decompressor.

your message is confusing...

mpg is video and ac3 is audio... if you've demuxed, the ac3 is not part of your mpeg at all

the real problem may be that some encoders don't directly handle mpeg video files, like CCE, and I bet TMPG is the same

you may have to use avisynth as a frame server, using the mpeg2dec.dll plugin and directing it to a dvd2avi project

LoadPlugin("D:\mpeg2dec.dll")
MPEG2Source("D:\mydvd.d2v")

if you have avisynth, save this as a text file with .avs as the extension. if not, go get avisynth.

you should be able to load the .avs file into TMPG if you do this. it works for CCE anyway.

avisynth 2.5 vis installed on my computer but how do I get it to open up and use it like you said? I would also like to know this because I need to use the avisynth script for pal to ntsc conversion in the sticky.

I dont see how the avs file would be able to be inserted to tmpgenc.please elaborate.

thanks

you don't actually ever use it in the sense you are thinking. any file that ends in .avs will work like an .avi for any applications on your computer. you could even drop them on wmp to get it to play a file.

here's the basic scoop... you want TMPG to re-encode an mpeg. TMPG doesn't really do this. Or at least I haven't seen how to get it to just read mpeg2 video.

avisynth can be used to 'serve' the video to TMPG so that it thinks it's just an .avi like all the others that it can re-encode.

.avs files are really just text files. avisynth has a programming language. if you can learn the language, which is pretty simple, you can get avisynth to do just about anything.

for mpeg2 these are the steps...

open dvd2avi and open your mpeg2 files and save the dvd2avi project. note that you don't actually do anything with dvd2avi other than just create a dvd2avi project with the extension .d2v that pretty much just points to your collection of mpeg video files

open up a text editor and type something very similar to my last post and save it with the extension .avs.

oh yeah, you'll also need to be sure that you have the mpeg2 decoder

mpeg2dec.dll


open TMPG and load in the .avs file. I haven't got my scripts in front of me so I'm not sure that this is all you need for the script for TMPG.

so you see, you never 'open' avisynth and 'use' it. it doesn't have a GUI like TMPG and just about every other windows program. using avisynth is using a text editor to write what are called 'scripts'
