TMPGE batch encoding.......

[alucard2050]

useing batch encoding with TMPGE, i can do multiple files if they are mpeg but when when i try to batch avi files it doesn't work. is there a way to do avi's with TMPGE or is it strictly for mpeg???????

You should be able to do multiple files in a time. I am confused though, are you running multiple instances of TMPG at once ? So you're doing a couple clips at a time ?

Encoding is purely processor driven. If you do the above, you're just beating the hell out of the cpu as it cycles from TMPG 1, to TMPG 2, etc. It has to go from the first, to the second, to the third.

You would probably be far more productive making up Projects for all your files and letting them run in 1 instance of TMPG, but before doing so adjust the PRIORITY settings to HIGH, as well as turn offf the display in the Preview options. This should spped things up for oyu, rather than trying to run them all at once.

Hope this helped

Also, you may want to adjust the priority on your DIRECT SHOW filter, this processes the avi format.

Again I was unclear if it was working at ll, oor just slowly for you...

let me try to be a little more specific. under FILE in TMPGE it has the option for batch encoding. meaning i can load all my clips onto the list and TMPGE will encode them one at a time. i can do this with MPEG files but when i try to load up an AVI file i get INVALID STREAM ERROR. i can encode the AVI file without any problem it just when i try the batch encoding option i get stuck....

You have to make a project for each file you want to encode, then load the projects in batch encode. Now tmpgenc will encode all your sweet files!

now, when you say "load up an AVI file" do you mean encode an mpg FROM an AVI, or are you encoding TO an AVI file (which I've never tried, but it looks like it should support it).
I encode MPGs from AVIs all the time, using the batch encoder.
Also, when you say "AVIs", do you mean DIVX AVIs or uncompressed/captured AVIs?

@<Spidey> I used to run as many as 15 copies of TMPGenc at a time. In my former newbieness I hadn't figured out the batch encoding yet.

LOL....Me Here too Bro. Glad we found the batch encoding !!!!
