Sequential bmps/jpgs with TMPGEnc (seq-xxxxx) and TSCV menu.

[chodges84]

i often use tscv for creating menu and it save s all the bmp as a bmp called seq-xxxxx, depending on the number of the file it is.

For some reason TMPGEnc wont encode these file into an MPEG, does anyone know why? It says file format unsupported, even though ive seen it do it before when TSCV would just give me black screens where the video should be in the menu. After many moons, i finally got TSCV to produce the menus properly, the process goes good and TMPGEnc opens then KABAM it tells me unsupported file format.

My computer is at risk of being burnt/destroyed becuase i am really knarked off about it. and i also risk going bald at 18.

Can anyone help?

btw I cant use TSCV with avi2mpg because in the log TSCV comes up and says "c:/program not found" whenever i use that option for menus instead of TMPGEnc

Anyway, many thanks in advance

i dont know that program -so hence exactly the type of bmp it is producing - but an easy way to fix it would be to mass convert them with either ACDSee or paint shop pro - which will, in-mass, convert your sequenced files to compressed targa's or you can also use jpeg's with quality set to 100

many thanks for the reply, does tmpgenc recognize a targa file and what is one?

yes tmpgenc will use targa files no problems except prev to version 2.54 , it would not use compressed targa's (lossless) but it does now use either compressed or uncompressed ..

targa along with sgi and cineon (and tiff to some extent) files are all very high quality file types used in the movie and graphics industry..
