[ying0yang]

HERE THE PROB.:

im using virtual dub and tmpgenc for about 3 years for converting divx to vcd . no problem ever and no secrets for me anymore ( im not a newbie :P )

but i have installed the newest tmpgenc (2.513.162 i think), and then my frameserver with virtual dub doesn't work anymore ????????????

got a movie i need to convert in vcd ( divx compress 5.0.4 and audio fraunhofer IIS mpeg layer 3 codec).

i start my frameserving in virtualdub , .vdr then when i try to open it in tmpgenc NOT SUPPORTED?????

what the prob?????? dll file missing in tmpgenc ???

virtual dub open it , i can view it .....

help me with this please

[bugster]

In TmpGenc, select Option, Environmental setting then click on the VFAPI plugin tab. Find the Direcshow Multimedia file reader entry in the list of filters. Right click and select higher priority. Repeat until it is at the top of the list and its priority is 1 or 2 above the enxt highest. This should help.

[ying0yang]

have made the setting but doesn't work

always error can't open or unsupported.

any other suggestion??

[txpharoah]

Same thing here. TMPGenc Plus 2.5.13 and neither PluginPac or AVIsynth will work.

hi yingOyang..

I hear ya.. I've had this happen to me too many times. There is a trick
to getting it to work though. Unfortunately, I don't have an EXACT plan
for ya. But...

First, did you re-install any codecs recently ??

I ask the above, because sometimes, the installation will change the nature
of your Client Server's settings, and fale everything up, to no ends.

Also, or did you mis any *.vtf files that need to be in TMPG's main directory ??

In any case, you have to do several "hit and miss" steps in ordre to get
vdub to frameserve into TMPG again.

You start by - This is the "hit and miss" step:
1 * running "AuxSetup.exe" and selecting "Uninstall handler".
...If it failes, select "Install handler" first, then Exit out of app, and re-load
...it in again. Now select "uninstall handler" again. You should get "sucess"
2 * Now exit the app.
3 * go to the \aviproxy\.. folder and either run "proxyoff.reg" or "proxyon.reg"
You'll have to go though steps 1 though 3 and do each one, doesn't really
mater which order. Once you've performed them, sooner or later, TMPG
will finally work. Oh, make sure that you test this first, in vdub, to see if
a picture shows, and make sure you press the PLAY button, not the time-line
"<-" or "->" button, else your sysstem will crash constantly, and cause
hoavac and instability. Only a re-boot will clean up after this crash. And,
further crashes taint your system even further.
Note, I had to reboot several times, between each step, to be sure I was
flushing out whatever settings might have stuck in the "cache"

I wish I could tell you what my proxy running state is "On or OFF" but I
can't. vdub doesn't tell you. Else, I'd save you all this trouble and tell
you EXACTLY what to do

I hope that the above helps you all out

Hi yingOyang..

If you installed AVIsynth v2.52, that's the MOTHER F of all to mess up your
framer server client, bar none!!

I fell prey to this exact same result. Unfortunately, the gate keepers of
AVS v2.52 felt it necessary to encapulate the .zip file into an self-install.exe
file, and does some system changing.

The best I can offer you is to re-install AVS v2.52 again, first, and then
all the other items (not that they matter in this case) but TMPG is not your
main concirn here. it's vdub. You have to get it to wake up out of it's
comma that AVS v2.52 (I"m assuming you used this version) put it into.

It's a real headacke, but sooner or later, you'll get ta work.

One more tip, maybe. You might have to re-do all your .d2v file from
dvd2avi all over again, and then re-rund them all through VFAPI to create
all your psuedo .AVI files of this .d2v's.

Sorry, that's the best I can do at this time

have take avisynth 205 for this try.



im tired ......

in my vfapi setting in tmpgenc i got cant read dvd2avi.vfp

normal?????

[vhelp]

@ ying0yang..

If it's any help to ya.. here's my TMPG settings under Environmental Settings
in VFAPI plug-in TAB:

[x] AVI VFW compatibility Reader
[x] AVI2(OpenDML) File Reader
[x] Wave File Reader
[x] DVD2AVI Project File Reader 1.76 - - DVD2AVI.vfp
[x] TMPGEnc Project File Reader 2.53 - - TMPGENC.vfp
[x] DirectShow Multimedia File Reader
[x] Avisynth/Virtualdub script reader v0.1 - - ReadAVS.dll
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
.
.
other settings I leave here.

Hope that helps some more. Remember, vdub is last item in the chain
here. Again, you might have to focus on it, if you still can't frameserve
any of it's .vdr files into TMPG. However, you try importing the .vdr file
inside an .AVS script, and then frameserve the script into TMPG. Sunds,
a bit confusing, but it might work. But, I prefer frameserving .vdr files
into TMPG myself, though I"m also using .AVS script too these days.

Give the above layout some fruit for thought.

LATEST NEWS .

last time have try to frameserve with a 699 megs files.(never able to work it correctly , so i give up and uncompressed audio .....pain in the *ss)

now i got [Edit - No Warez] movie 696 megs files , same thing as beforee unsupported or tmpgenc freeze.

so i was thinking ( and you too guys) the prob. is vdub frameserver setting.

so here the news , i have tried with a 50 megs files ; same video codec and audio .surprised!!!! tmpgenc open it( in frameserve with vdub of course)

BUT an error appear when i tried to start it : illegal floating decimal point calculation order. ????6

the point is frameserver seems to work!!!

so any new idea about why cant open big files????

i got same pc as before and it was working ( p3 800 512 ram )

[bugster]

I have known TmpGenc to choke on some long filenames, especially those with several spaces or dots. If that is the case try renaming the avi just to movie.avi or something.

illegal floating decimal point is usually seen due to bad frames in the avi. Try scanning for bad frames in vdub before starting the frameserver, this might help. If vdub detects bad frames and you still get this error, save out a new copy of the avi and then load that.

[ying0yang]

will try to rename the avi file ,

it's true : very long filename .

hope it work . t

thanks for your time
