FrameServing with VirtualDub and TMPEG-HELP HELP

[moguzhan]

I tried frameserving a divx and tmpeg only encodes about 2 mins of it. What editing setting should be changed in virtual dub so that tmpeg encodes the whole movie .

I followed all the settings on this website for frameserving and im having the same problem. any ideas?? any help ?

I dunno but tmpgenc has been crashing on me like crazy now too. It used to work fine for me. Now when I frameserve a divx file over to it and select browse for video source and I pick the frameserve file, it get an hour glass and after a while I do a crtl+alt+delete and end the task on tmpgenc. It stays up there and the whole background of tmpgenc is all white and frozen

moguzhan, I really need more information about the problem to help you. For example, do VirtualDub/TMPGEnc actually crash after 2mins or do they exit normally? If it is the latter I've a sneaky feeling you've selected a specific range in VirtualDub which needs to be removed.

nick, this is a fairly common problem. I have fixed it before by running the proxyoff.reg, restarting and then going through the motions again (remembering to re-run proxyon.reg before frameserving.) However if anyone else has a more definate solution, I'd love to see it posted to the forums.

well i use virtual dub frameserving, auxsetup, proxy on etc. now what im getting is tmeg encodes the divx except the sound is delayed. the divx is 23.976fps. i tried it with frameserving at 23.976 and then at 25fps. Same Problem.

i get this message at virtual dub which may help:
"virtual dub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source avi file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compatability. this may introduce up to 16271ms of skew from the video stream. if this is unacceptable , decompress the entire audio stream to an uncompressed wav file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder."

ive managed to encode the first half the movie, 'american pie 2 divx' but now frameserving the 2nd half has delayed sound. ive tried doing interweaving but u can never get the sound right. its driving me nuts.

everything ends normally. video is left at full compression and audio is left at direct stream. must they be both direct stream then frame served?

what do you think??

ive also tried video and then audio compression and then encoded in tmpeg and still u get the same problem. or you get the sound cutting out.

i realised that when i done the first half the movie which worked!!! virtual dub was compressing at about 200-500fps. now when i do it, sometimes i get 1000fps 2000fps ranges. is that a factor? can we change that?

Moghuzan,
This looks like a problem with divx files where audio is encoded in MP3. You could try this.
Load the file.
Click File -> Save WAV. Enter a file name and save the WAV file. Check that durations match with original video.
Now click Audio -> No Audio.
Start Frameserver.
Open TMPGEnc and open your .vdr as Video Source.
Select the WAV file you created as Audio Source.
Start Encoding.
