dvdx 2.0 & TMPEGenc : frameserving : plugin

[silentbuddha]

Hi Everyone,

I currently use dvdx2.0 (very reliable) and I just recently acquired TMPEGenc v2.520.54.163. I appreciate if someone could explain the steps as to how i can use TMPEGenc with dvdx 2.0 to get mpeg1/2 formats.

Respectfully,

What exacttly are you trying to do. ?
What format is your original video in. ?
I think you do not need dvdx at all.

Hi Foo,

I currently am using SmartRipper progz to rip the files off of my dvd's.
I am trying to make vcd's and svcd's.
I have heard that dvdx 2.0 can use the TMPEG codec to make mpeg-1/2 file formats...but i have yet to figure out how?

I hope some of my answers can clear up any misunderstandings...

Dunno about dvdx
Most people either re-encode manually with TMpGenc to (S)VCD (me)
or use DVD2SVCD which does everything for you.

Sounds like you might like the "Do Everything For You" idea

Thanks Foo....I'll do some more research!

I don't think that DVDx uses the TMPG codec for encoding as it has it's own built in codecs. DVDx is useful as a frameserver to TMPG. You can frameserve as an avs file or an avi file. There is a guide on this site for using DVDx as a frameserver to TMPG.

They must have taken the guide off this site. Here is one at doom9.org. Go to http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/dvdx-svcd.htm. Check out the guide for TMPG. It will show you how to use DVDx as a frameserver for it.
