TMPGEnc problem

[henryzh]

Hi:

Anybody knows why TMPGEnc is so slow (converting time is more than 50 times of the original video length) when converting some asf file to vcd (not all asf files, normally the time for converting is about 2-3 time of the video length). Thanks in advance.

What your CPU...it your CPU that the problem not TMPGEnc...TMPGEnc is fast if your CPU is lower than P3 335mhz it is your CPU it is normal for TMPGEnc to be slow like that

and oh yea it take me 4 hours to encode a movie with the highest motion search and i have a P3 1.0ghz

My machine is PIII866. TMPGEnc works OK for other format videos(AVI) and also OK for some ASF videos, but for some other ASF, It is really slow. I checked the CPU usage, it is about 0% most of the time and about every 30 secondes, the TMPGENC use 90~100% CPU for a very short period and the converting is processed a bit. So, actually most of the time the CPU is idle. I don't know why this could happen.

ok here is the solution.

get virtual dub and open the asf.
click file|save wav and name it.

open the asf in tmpge and change the audio it selects to the wav and you should see a dramatic increase in those really slow asf files.

FYI

I have an Intel Pentium 4, 1.4 GHz with 128MB RAM and I use TMPGEnc to convert my AVI's and DIVX's to VCD. The time it takes to convert a movie is equal to the movie length.

Hi there.

I can´t encode video files (avi) longer than 2 GB.
Can anybody tell me why or what is the solution?

You must provide information about your system and software you're using in order for people to reply with information that is relavant to your problem.

AFAIK, if you have a hard drive with FAT file system, the filesize limit is 2GB, this limit is increased to 4GB on FAT32 hard disks. With Windows 2000 and XP that use NTFS file system, the only filesize limit is the size of your hard disk (perfect for video editing).
Note:
Windows 95, 98, 98SE and ME can't access NTFS drives while Windows 2000 and XP can access FAT and FAT32 drives.

My machine is PIII 850 512Mb Ram, NT 4.0 SPack 6, 72 GB hard drive NTFS (ultra WSCI) . I use Speed Razor 2000X with a Matrox Digisuite Full card. The .AVI files generated use m-jpeg codec (lossy or losless quality).

When i encode files with Tmpgenc 2.01 video stops at 2 GB (+/-)size file but audio goes ok

jcpinto, as far as I know TMPG does not handle larger files. Frameserve with Avisynth or VirtualDub to TMPG, that might help.

I don't think so Truman. I just encoded a 7GB DV avi to VCD with TMPGEnc this morning. I am running Windows XP (NTFS) with 128 MB RAM.

[jcpinto]

PhArAoH, i am running windows 2000 professional NTFS, 512 MB Ram and it does not encode video files more than 2 GB.

The .avi files are generated by matrox digisuite card (mjpeg).

Can you help me?

i've been trying to make a couple of *.asf files into *.mpg... and it's about 200 mb each... but everytime it gets to about frame 195, the program freezes...
since im a complete newbie to this conversion thing... can someone explain to me the easiest thing i can do to make it work??
like... conversion for dummies

thanks!!
