Fed up with Tmpgenc

[Disipha]

Ok I know this is problem comes up all the time...believe me I have read all of the posts about it...but everytime no matter what I do I get an error with the program. I put the priority up for the directshow plugin up, I have have all the proper codecs, I have no clue of what the problem is. Is there any other thing out there that causes errors? I have uninstalled the program reinstalled it, put in a new fresh XP on a newly formatted hdd, I have done it all is there anything else?

I am running a AMD2600+ with 512 DDR400 RAM, with a 80 GB hdd and a 40 HDD. Please someone tell me something...

what is the error ? and what are you trying to encode (source file) --

does the error come on loading the file or while encoding ?

[jaxxboss]

hmmm, yea, we can't help without a specific question.
LOL, kinda reminds me of the old George Carlin album... his music sounded like crap so he changed his amplifier-200 watts per channel, still crap....changed his speakers to - 50 inch woofers, still crap...... on and on til he finally said
"Hey, maybe it's the needle"

[wipeout]

dont like tmpgenc....do mainconcept....1 hour for a full dvd.....without any effort.

make sure you set film to progressive to change FPS

Is there any other thing out there that causes errors?

Bad frames?

[Disipha]

I am trying to encode an X-vid movie...i have tried multiple files and ones that I converted before so I know the file isint bad...the error is Read error occured at address 000B249D of module 'Tmpgenc.exe' with 003IE22C

[Heavensent]

try to move avi2(open DML) to higher priority.
it works for me.
i do get an error at the END of the encoding, but the file turns out grate
so i just ignor it.

[Disipha]

Thanks for the advice I did that and now I get the ilegal floating decimal point crap...Is there any more advice?

[Roderz]

All I can say is that these settings work 4 me (see this thread)
https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=693312&highlight=#693312

Also keep away from codec packs like nimo etc.. install only what you need.

[Disipha]

When ever I adjust the settings I get the illegal floating decimal point error which I didnt get before...it sucks because as soon as I get rid of one error I get another...

Might sound crazy, but dont use long filenames with lots of dost like "this.is.a.very.long.movie.name.avi"

try Movie.avi instead, Tmpgenc seems to be happier with these!

Oh, and make sure you scan the file for bad frames AGAIN.

[Disipha]

I know there is no bad frames...I have succesfully converted the video before on my old system, which had the same codecs installed and was inferior in everyway. Also the file names are exactly what you specified, I read that one too. I think that I am done with Sh*tgen I think that I will use Main Concept, is there a good guide out there on it, I can make MP2s but the aspect ratio immeadiatley goes to full, and when I use the DVD setting the keep proportions option is greyed out, does anyone know how to keep the aspect ratio with Main Concept 1.4? Thanks

Oh and if you have anymore things with Tmpgenc let me know...I would like to be able to make DVDs without using DVDX COPY express...thanks for all your help people.

Demux the file to a seperate movie only .avi, and audio only files. Only import the video into TMPG, leave the audio to another app. Set your begin and end frames, even if you're encoding the whole movie, tell TMPG where the first and last frames are.

Or

Frame serve from avisynth to TMPG

avisource("movie.avi")
 or
directshowsource("movie.avi",fps=23.976)

Don't mess with videos encoded with XVid, or install a proper Direct Show decoder.

If it is only happening with xvid files then change you Fourcc Changer.

Go to start menu --> programs-->xvid then choose avic(Fourcc Changer). Then open up your movie and change Fourcc Description code and Fourcc used codec from xvid to divx.

I get this poblem from time to time ('Illeagal Floating Point Error' message) for seemingly no reason.

I am normally able to solve it by reducing the 'Motion Search Precision' by a notch or 2.

I also get that error once in awhile even without any files loaded up,most likely a small glitch in tmpgenc with amd cpu`s.

I have done hundreds of back ups using Vidomi to convert to Xvid, and would always have one problem or another with TMPGEnc when it came time to convert to(S)VCD.Sometimes frameserving would work,but mostly not, Xvid is highly compressed, and TMPGEnc has problems dealing with any compression. Decompressing your Xvid file with the decompressor from AVI2VCD, and using the decompressed file in TMPGEnc should solve your problem.

Decompressing your Xvid file with the decompressor from AVI2VCD, and using the decompressed file in TMPGEnc should solve your problem.

That tool simply decompresses the audio, not the video. TmpGenc has no problems with compressed video, with the correct settings anyway. Some compressed audio does cause it problems, esp VBR encoded mp3. This is just one way of working around that issue.

[Ziffelpig]

Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant to mention compressed audio as the problem, I just assumed it was well known that TMPGEnc and compressed audio do not work well together. 99% of the time decompressing the audio fixed my XVID/TMPGEnc problems.

is your system overclocked?? if so reset your memeory and cpu back to their defaults and do the encode... overheated/overstretched memory and or cpu can cause random problems. encode alone, no other progs whatsoever...video and audio seperately.
