Enconding into multiple files with TMPG

[Murrdawg045]

Whenever I convert to svcd, I always just do one big file, then split it into 3 seperate files for 3 cds. Its pretty annoying to have to go to MPEG tools and cutting each section. My questions is this: is there anyway to load the avi project file and tell TMPG to encode into 3 seperate files?

You should be able to use TMPGEnc to batch encode 3 projects, one at a time, specifying for each the part to encode with "source range", then save it to the batch list and then do the other 2, then run the batch encode list and it should do all 3.

How do I make the batch list? When I go to File -> Batch, it just lets me open a TMPGEnc working file or something. What do I do?

Once you have set the length of the first movie, save project . Then change the start and end points in the source and save project again, making ure you use a different project name. (ALSO make sure you change the mpeg filename or it will overwrite)
Once you have done this, run the Batch. add the projects you saved then run
Works great (especially overnight)

Man, do not forget this step. It's caused me grief a couple of times already. Easy to forget to rename the projects late at night right before going to bed.

Once you get all of your settings done, give the Output mpg file a new name and then File/Save project. Then go to batch encode and select a project one at a time or multiple files at once. You can double check your settings by double clicking on a project inside the batch encode window.

I wish there was some kind of automatic check before it goes ahead and encodes the same file all night long.

It would be nice to see the scene that youre splitting for the next cd. MGI vedeo wave lets you see the video so you can cut the video in between scenes.
