need some help with svcd

[sylvester243]

i am using Creative Video Blaster and have no troubles making vcd's in mpeg1 but when i capture in mpeg2 and go to trim the video in TMPGE it tells me the video format is not supported and when i try loading it into VCDEasy it tells me it needs to be multiplexed which i tried but still won't load into TMPGE to trim it....any ideas how i can get around this please

If you get an error message when opening like file unsupported or can not open or is not supported
or you get an empty(black) video preview window
or the video look wierd in the video preview window like green or purple or pink
Try first to change the directshow codec reader priority settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 or to the top of plugin-list and try open the video.

Try this. In TMPGEnc, go to MPEG Tools, select Simple Muliplex , Type: MPEG-2 Super VideoCD, after you split the audio and video, bring it back to TMPGEnc, select Advance>Source Range and edit, run TMPGEnc, if this will not work it may be because you only have the Free version TMPGEnc which will not allow for MPEG-2 processing. Not sure it this will work, I have done this going from SVCD to VCD and it worked good.

what a drag.....i tried both those combinations and still no luck in getting TMPGE to see my mpeg2 file....yes it is the free version for now but i still got 22days use of the mpeg2 on TMPGE so i'm hoping it should work but just got no idea on how to get the software to see the movie file yet to trim it up for burning.......once again thanks for the help

[Tommyknocker]

Send me a sample of this video please. That is just too weird.

[sylvester243]

TMPGEnc can't read mpeg2 files natively, plus or not, trial or not. However, by installing PowerDVD (trial version will do fine) a MPEG2 Codec gets installed on your system, that Tmpgenc can use to read mpeg2 video.

thanks for that.....tried it but each time i go to use TMPGE now it causes the program to crash, always giving me "TMPGE caused an unexpected error and will now close".......back to square one on figuring out why it won't load any of my mpeg2 file.......geezzz (enough to send one around the twist)
