Tmpegenc avi2svcd problem

[Kases]

just formatted my hard drive and re-installed everything, downloaded some newer movies, and when i try to rip them to svcd it says the output file will be around 4000mbs large at 1600kbits/s, how can this be possible? is there any codec that i could be missing that might fix this? and i have this problem with about 7 different movies i downloaded, which only are about 1 1/2 hours long each.

I think that TMPGEnc may be choking on your movie's VBR audio. Try decompressing it to wav with virtualdub. Open the avi, go to the audio menu and select "full processing mode", go to file and select "save wav". Use the wav file as your audio source in TMPGEnc. Hope that helps.

i figured i'd might have to do that. but that is just so much trouble. especially if you have to do it for almost every movie you download.

but thanks for the quick response.

It's really not that big of a deal. It will add 5 minutes tops to your total encoding time.

so not a single person in this entire forum, knows how i could possibly fix this problem?

well teegee420 thanks anyways for your input. but i'm really trying to completely fix the problem rather then just leaving it as it is.

[teegee420]

In many cases doing what I suggested does fix the problem. Did you even try it yet?

WTF?

Have you even bothered to try extracting the audio to a wav first , or is that too much trouble.

Read the guides , a lot of problems of this nature are solved by doing exactly what teegee suggested.

Maybe its too much trouble to repeat what was suggested , at least until you suggest that you have tried it.

koyaro-ta-ne!

of course i've tried it, and yes it worked... none the less. if you have like 30 movies to convert (which i used to be able to simply enque into my tmpeg and have it run all day and all night), that processing he suggested really sucks. i mean it used to work just fine, it must be some codec i installed or am now missing. if only i knew which one it is.

i can't believe not a single person in this forum actually knows how to fix the software most people on this forum use.

[teegee420]

If you're too lazy to convert all your movies the right way then why don't you go buy the DVD? Maybe digital video isn't for you. It's certainly not for the impatient.

Whats wrong with this guy? First he come here talking about suspicious downloaded movies and when someone give him the solution he is just in a bad mood? If you want miracles i suggest you try a prayer, see if that solves the problem.

TMPGEnc works extremely well when you have high quality source files. Downloaded divx shit just doesn't qualify as such.

Set up a batch job in Vdub, let it run all night for the first night, and tmpgenc can run all night for the second.
