The oldies TMPGEnc 12a version

[Maximum Risk]

Did anybody knows where to find TMPGEnc 12a?All links provided here to that version are all broken or empty....
TMPGEnc is no longer distributed the 12a version. If it is not considered as warez, tell me where to find it, please......

[lpn1160]

if you really can't find it any where else I have a copy i could e-mail you.
let me know (lpn1160@hotmail.com)

Thanks lpn1160 for your concern. I just sent email to you and waiting for your reply together with that version.

Hello,

I have all/most versions on my drive starting from 12a (first japanese but english-patcheable version) upto the recent 2.56plus.

I am 100% sure I ones saw a version 1.1 too, but forgot to download it. And where's a 1.1 I assume there's also a 1.0

Besides I am missing (if they excist) some sub-versions...but I doubt they were ever available.

But....why do you need 12a anyway??? Previously people assumed/were convinced the 12a version contained less bugs, but wasn't that solved since 2.50 ?

[SatStorm]

Version 12 (also english patchable) had less bugs version 12a (broken VBR fuction).
Anyway, for some reason, those versions work better with mjpeg source. I don't know why.... So, if your source is an mjpeg Avi and you are a quality freak, then you might want to try encode with those old versions...
New versions are better in anything else than this: The handle of mjpeg source....

>>@Mars-L: Are you a Babylon 5 fun?

I don't even know what "Babylon 5 fun" is, so I guess I'm not

Maybe lpn1160 had a busy day, I haven't got 12a version till now. So anybody got that version or any earlier version, i would appreciate if you can send me a copy to duyanak@yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance

Hello pal,

TMPGEnc 12j can be found in a combined pack called "VCD Galaxy DVDRip ComboPack" which can be downloaded from DVD Digest at the following link:
http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/vcdgalaxy.html

Only, upon starting it it said MPEG2 trial has expired.

Take care

[Pompebled]

In flashback I do agree with mcorpse.

[Pompebled]

Everyone still looking for version 12a has to realize that Pegasys is asking various downloadlocations to remove any old versions of Tmpgenc. Example: http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/2835.cfm

Indeed, trying to download v12a from afterdawn failed. It couldn't complete downloading in quite a few trials, both directly from MS IE and via GetRight.
The good news is that:
http://www.souxin.com/mpeg4software.htm
have not only the English patch, there is also working link to v12a itself.
Somehow, I wouldn't wait downloading it!

Take care

[thxkid]

I have and been using 12a for 3 years now, so email me at

thxkid@hotmail.com
I will zip it and email it back to ya this evening after I get home that maybe 6-7 hours from now.

I have and been using 12a for 3 years now...

Sorry for being a smart ass. 3 years ago TMPGEnc.Beta10e was released. Beta12a is less than 2 years old.

[kjmacke]

Just e-mailed everything you need.

[thxkid]

I'll check tonight on my 1st VCD's I did in 1999 and 2000, to give you the exact date I started using TPMGE 12a, since that is the only encoder I have used, if you want to be the exact. You are probably right But I have so many of these damn VCD's and SVCD's I was trying to guess here while at work without my 100's of finished VCD's in front on me, but I will check tonight to see when I did do my 1st one using the encoder. Don't pay much attention to them anymore since I do all my recording on my Panasonic DVD Home Recorder DMR E-20. Don't really need VCD's or SVCD's when I can record Mirror images on DVD-R.

To anyone, still needing that good-old-fashined 1.2a version (originals), please post me a message - I'll sent it to you by e-mail (don't forget to mention your e-address)...

[Maximum Risk]

Thanks guys for giving a great response by sending TMPGEnc 12a to me. Just to say thanks but some of the zip file sent to me cannot be opened. Fortunately, other sender give me an alternative.

Any of u try running TMPGEnc 12a on XP machine??? Any problems??

[Arnnie]

Did you want this early version for the purposes of performance, quality or the fact that there is no trial period on MPEG2?

I read a user manual from Net that suggested to use 12a for making VCD @ SVCD..ONLY 12a..!!!! I don't know why, but It's worth a try...

[W_Eagle]

Hello pals,

Anyone have TMPGEnc 12 with English patch,
or a working link?

Take care

[Maximum Risk]

Why 12a is so special..???Only because it's unlimited mpeg-2 encoding or anything else..??

I only interested in making VCD, so if that is the case..will the latest version of TMPGEnc give any good than the 12a...???

[Betamax]

Latest version (2.57 or even higher) is realy better for VCD (MPeG-1).

If your intension is to create 'just' VCD, then better use the latest version.
It also is much faster than those 'old' versions.
The latest version(s) even gives better quality for SVCD (MPeG-2).

Tip : check the "use Closed GOP's" and "encode using floating point" to get even more quality...

But, did TMPGEnc version after 12a limiting MPEG-2 encoding to certain time/duration? I'm not sure about MPEG-1

Your right : there is a time-limit for MPeG-2 but NOT for MPeG-1.

Anyhow,
I use TMPGenc 2.57+ and it gives me (even for VCD) far more better quality than every previous releases.
It seems also that TMPGenc has recoded a new '2-pass' method in this release (I think it's only available in the plus-version) which is also faster and better of quality.

[greentalks]

Hey can someone send it to me I want to use it because it has unlimited mpeg-2 right if so then i can use it to make my svcds so if someone can send it to me at littleman95209@yahoo.com please

[puertorican138]

greentalks, do you want me to download it for you and send it to you as an attachment in an e-mail.


If any one of y'all need version 12a, give me your e-mail address so I can send it as an attachment to you. If I was you I would use TMPGEnc Plus 2.57. It gives much better quality than other versions when encoding to MPEG1/2.

[mcorpse]

I sigh and shake my head at all you people trying to tell yourselves that using a reg-free version of TMPGEnc which you're not supposed to be using isn't the same as just grabbing a crack for the latest version. No offense to any of you, but it's pretty sad... (Similar to saying "I didn't put mud on the floor, my shoes did!")


Note to Mods: I am not condoning the use of a crack here...honest... Just pointing out that it's pretty much the same to be looking for a non-time limited version, since that's basically all a crack does to the new version...

[thxkid]

EXCUSE me, but I legally downloaded TMPGE 12a from their home web site over 2 years ago, they had it for free, for free download and nothing on the web site when I downloaed it said, opps sorry we are so popular now will you please stop using are free copy we provided to you when we were just starting out and using you to work all out problems and now that we got a good working product please come back and buy it.
It was not a Demo, Trial version or shareware, it was a Beta version only.
Thats like getting software with your burner and the manufature would come back a few months later and tell you to give that software back and here buy are newer software, you all would throw a fit if someone tried that.
I stay with 12a, cause it works and I have now problems with it, if it ain't broke..... I personally never tried any of the other versions since then, I guess I better stop using Windows media player 6.4 since 8 is out and beta version 9 also.
Heck the only reason I have all this older software over the last 3 years is because of having a burner, which we all know they are being used so legally anyway. Burners came out originally for Data backup, heck most are not even used for that anymore......

[vhelp]

evening thxkid,

I agree with you on your points. BUT, the problem ain't
your expeience 2 years ago, it's NOW, TODAY. People KNOW
that 12a is NOT to be distributed!! They KNOW this. It's
posted at TMPEnc, etc. Including on this FORUM.

It's posted that NO ONE is to continue distributing the
previous copies, including the betas from the date it was
asked of.

So, when people ask, where is 12a??
Who can e-mail me a copy?
I'll e-mail you one. . .
These people SHOULD NOT be distributed their copy or ANY
copy, other than having a copy from when they first got
it 2 years ago and till the date it stopped!

This is what mcorpse is at with his statement above.

Maybe this should of ben more clearer on the above.

evening.

PS: I have just about every copy too, but you don't here me saying,
"give me your e-mail, and I'll send you one!" This is WRONG!!
