How do you make TMPGenc Batch Encode files ?

[Ekin]

Ok guys I need help on how to use Batch Encode to combine my .d2v and wav together and cutting the files into 3 cds for SVCD during the Batch Encode using TMPGenc Batch Encode?

Here's how I do it...

-In TMPGEnc advanced settings, double-click on the Source Range.
-Drag the slider all the way to the right, and hit "Set End Frame" to find out how many frames there are.
-Open windows Calculator, and divide the total frames by the number of CD's you want to create.... This will give the number of frames per CD.
-If you want a short overlap to occur, add 50-150 frames to each section.
-Select the range for each CD, then save each CD with a different output file name and different Project Name.
-Goto the Batch Encode, and select the projects you created. Hit Run...
-TMPG will create three files for you, no need to cut!

Example:
MyMovie has 93000 frames, which gives ~31000 frames per disc for 3 cds.

Set the range for Disc 1 as 0 - 31150, and set the output file to MyMovieCD1.mpg, and save the project as MyMovieCD1.tpr
Set the range for Disc 3 as 31000 - 62150, and set the output file to MyMovieCD2.mpg, and save the project as MyMovieCD2.tpr
Set the range for Disc 1 as 62000 - 93000, and set the output file to MyMovieCD3.mpg, and save the project as MyMovieCD3.tpr

Goto File > Batch Enclode and load the three .tpr files that you created and hit RUN!!!

*NOTE: This only works good if your using CBR or 2Pass VBR, so you get correct file sizes.

enkidu101, thanks for advise I sure will try it out. But sorry for this stupid question. what is "*NOTE: This only works good if your using CBR or 2Pass VBR, so you get correct file sizes." The CBR and 2Pass VBR and where can i get it ??

First, if you are using TMPGEnc's wizard, don't.

In TMPGEnc, when your in the settings, go to the "Video" tab (This is also where you select the Motion search precision). There you'll see the Rate Control, which you can change. Use a bitrate calculator to find out the best bitrate for your movie (VCDHelp has a good one on their website). Using the value you get from the bitrate calculator for the CBR bitrate or the average 2-pass VBR bitrate will give you pretty exact file sizes.

The difference between CBR and 2-pass VBR:

CBR uses the bitrate you entered for the entire movie and never changes. This is a fairly quick way to encode your movie.

2-pass VBR actually processes the movie twice. The first time, it analyses the movie to figure out which scenes have high action and require a higher bitrate, and which scenes have low action and don't require a very high bitrate. The second time actually encodes the video with varying bitrates based on the action on-screen. Using 2-pass VBR provides a Higher-Quality video than CBR, but it takes twice as long.

The other Rate control options TMPGEnc provides (MVBR, CQ_VBR, and CQ) don't allow to specify an average bitrate, so there's no good way to control the resulting file size.

In tmpgenc click on setting then select your rate control mode.
Constant bitrate means the bitrate is always set so if the scene has a lot of action the bitrate may not be high enough so the quality may suffer.
2 pass variable bitrate means tmpgenc checks the whole movie and sets the bitrate that each scene needs. Slower but better quality.

Really no difference in picture quality between CBR and VBR (although CBR can sometimes give better quality) but the file sizes will be different and the encode time will double with VBR. I never use VBR anymore.

I have to disagree with you. With to pass VBR a can go down to 1600 with decent quality, but it looks like crap with CBR 1600.

[energy80s]

In my opinion, 2100 looks crap! And as there's very little space saving between a 2100VBR and 2500CBR file I wouldn't waste the time/effort in making a VBR file.
