TMPGenc problem......

[kered]

Hi all,
Before i state my problem i just wanna let all of you kinwo that yes i have read the guides and such. I Use TMPGenc to encode my downloaded movies and ripped movies to DVD. I have a TDK DVD Burner, Athlon 2600+, 512 DDR, (2)45GIG 7200 RPM hard drives, ATI 9800PRO video card. Ok, now...my ONGOING problem is...When ever i encode ANY movie to DVD I get Choppy points every ohh about 1 or 2 minutes. they seem to be when the Frame changes while encoding. It makes it hard to watch. I have tried MANY things, from not using the wizard, making the output same as input, using Motion Estimate searh, Low quality and High quality, ummm what else....oh i have tried encodeing using some of th guides here.....I cannot get around this. I have ran TMPGenc While downloading stuff and with Nothing running at all and the same thing happens. I am sure there is Some reason for this..soem little Option that I have not checked or unchecked. Also when encoding i am putting the video off the same hard drive as the source..just an FYI.....Can someone anyone help me with this. i have posted before but all i get is "read the guides"......well i have...so I am looking for more help...

thanks in advance ....

I'm sure you'd get a lot more help if you properly list what kind of system components you have , not just the brand of DVD burner. The help you ask for can very system dependant.

I guess he must have edited his post then

Oh, and if the source is good (the downloaded avi or the original DVD) then the system has nothing to do with it.

One question though, do the mpegs output by TmpGenc, before authoring and burning to DVD, play ok in WMP or a software DVD player.

One possible cause of this kind of problem is encoding using the wrong field order (assuming we are talking interlaced and not progressive encoding).

Hi Bugster...Thanks for the info. Yes they play fine before i encode them. After they are encoded with TMPGenc they are choppy. I have compared specific scenes and the Original is NOT choppy at certian points but the Mpeg after encoding is..and yes this is Interlaced Not progressive.

Thanks again..

And FIrefoxV....umm waht else would you like you know...i do believ i listed my whole computer????

[bugster]

Could be field order. Try reversing the filed order in Tmpgenc and encoding a clip that shows the problem.

Sorry Kered, when I looked, only your DVD burner was listed...but as usual, Bugster is correct with his info.

NP Firefox.

Bugster: im not sure i know what "Field Order is" I am rather new. can u explain it to me a little more?

Thanks for all the help..i hope i can get this resolved...

Any of you use ICQ or AOL messenger? let me know if so..

Look under the Advanced tab in the Mpeg-settings!

[kered]

it is set to "Top Field First (field a)" is that correct? what does that mean anyway?

Wether it is correct depends on the source material.

It's like saying to a machanic "My car doesn't run"...
What is your input material (format, standard etc.) and what is your desired output? DivX to DVD in short? PAL? Have you checked for legal audio format in standard you are going to encode to?
As you see, there is more to it....
