being that this is in conversion, i'm assuming you mean a file you want to encode seems to only have audio, no video...

you likely don't have the codec to decode the video part properly. the movie is likely a divx file, and you need to go install the divx codec. (www.divx.com)

[jl3838]

How do you find out what codec is being used for video and audio? Is there a generic way to find that out in any video and files?

[Krammie]

i had already a TMPGens, but that was an older version. Due to mpeg2 i needed i newer version. By the older version every thing works perfectly
What divx codec i have to download? or is this a genreal one?

open the file in virtual dub, and select file-->file information

[Krammie]

I openend the avi file and find the next information: Decompressor: DivX Pro 5.0 codec. Is this the right codec?

that tells you that you need the DivX Pro 5.0 codec to read the file--and therefore to be able to encode it with any encoder

[Krammie]

I installed Divx Pro 5, but after codering in tmpgenc i only got audio and no video?

[Krammie]

Please, why do i not get an answer???. I have 2 PC, eatch with OS XP and TMPGenc. With the older one i have no problems when i convert with TMPGenc an avi file to mpeg 1 or 2. Then i have audio and video, but this PC is very slow. With the newest PC i have the problem that when i convert with TMPGEnc an avi file to mpeg1 or 2 that i got only audio and no video. Is ther some one in the world who can help me with this problem. I have already codec DIVx pro 5.0.
Please help me i have a lot of avi files who i not can convert

Greatings

if your desperate, you can re encode the entire avi again with virturaldub, might take an hour. Just put video and audio on full process mode. On video, choose compression and pick divx mpeg4 low motion, and on audio goto compression and put it on pcm(uncompress) . now goto file save avi and try this new avi you saved. Because sometimes a avi can get corrupted and it wont work right on tmpg. But im not sure that this will work, but maybe

[Krammie]

Thanks,

I'll try, I'am look forwart for other suggestions!!!!!

[Krammie]

i had the same problem but was easily solved. I just downloaded the Divx_3.11alpha codec. this should hopefully solve all your problems, email me if not and i can probably find the codec for you

[mikehg]

Try changing the priority level of the directshow filter to the highest priority.

[Krammie]

stbbish and mikehg,

Thanks for your replay. stbbish i downloaded Divx_3.11alpha codec and installed it. But nothing happens.

mikehg, where can i find your option and in what program?

Krammie

[mikehg]

It's in Tmpgenc under Environmental settings--> Vfapi plugin

Just right click on Directshow and select higher priority until it is positioned at the top.

Take care,
Mike H

Mike H,

Thanks, for your solution. It works. Maybe you can tell how it comes that the setting is changed? For the rest thans to any one who helpt me...

hi does anyone know when to split the movie file in two parts if its too large to fit on 1 cd??? do u do it whhen its in a avi format or mpeg format

[Rigo]

Mikehg,

thanks for that tip,,I have been for the last week with TMPGEnc with problems trying to open any avi file that I capture with Miro dc30+,after I red your tip,going to TMPGEnc under Option>Enviromental settings>vflapi plugin,,,and I set the direct show to high priority and won't work,I can't see any video,then I set both AVI plugins to higher priority and NOW WORKS !!!!!! I ask the same question,,how this settings were change,even when I use the same TMPGEns copy? maybe was the order of the plugin installation,,,,
THANKS FOR THAT TIP !!!!!

My original problem: I capture with Miro dc30+,save as avi,,and TMPGEnc
always gave me a bunch of rectangle with many colors when I open the avi file,now I set both avi plugins under TMPGEnc>options>enviromental setting to "higher priority" and now I can open avi files,,

GREAT!!!!!!!
THANKS AGAIN Mikehg

[mikehg]

Great!, Glad I could help. As to what the default order is I'm not sure. There are so many different variations and codecs needed to render video and audio files that Tmpgenc doesn't always use the corect one. That is why they luckily give us the option to manually set the rendering method. Of course they don't give you any hints about how to do this, so unless you really know all the different formats and codecs well, you are left to a trial and error method :)

Take care,
Mike H.

[romy]

hello why doesnt anyone reply to me ??

i would like to know when to split the movie if its too long
after conversion into mpeg from avi or before

what program shold i use?

[DVWannaB]

Romy,

Give Womble a try. Or try using VCDHelp "HOW TO" under the EDIT section. Look to the left of your monitor in the green section.

[Nubie]

Whenever I encode my AVI using TMPGEnc, I get an error after 90% of the encoding, saying "stream writing error"

Can anyone help me out?

THANX,
Nubie

[Rigo]

Romy,I think VirtulaDub is the one to split or join files
here you can find many tips:
