  1. well, after 2000 test runs...this is it: Using TMPGenc and Virtual Dub only

    Use K-lite pack test version 2.02 install (uninstall the rest of the junk)

    When using Tmpgenc wizard, if it auto checks inverse Telecine....leave it alone. It will clean out the flags, then you will repopulate the flags with the auto 3:2 settings (NOT CHECK IN ADVANCED). It should be in the grayed out sections under Video (23.976
    I used normal for processing search mode.

    Nice......... the motion is silky smooth.....Ahhhh.....

    Now I can get some sleep. That took two weeks to solve.

    Oh...one more thing....I recommend direct stream the video and full process the audio in Virtual dub to clean up the file for junk. A two step process that first output a big file of 1.7 gigs....then you recompress the audio back to normal using Mpeg layer 3 160kbs.

    Bad codecs mean Bad results....period.

  2. can you explain what you did in a little more detail?? what is k-lite test? I'm having nothing but trouble trying to encode bowling for columbine (xvid) in tmpgenc.

    the site of pure encoding pleasure..........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

    these are the test versions.....but I am going for it....

  4. Ok, i'm still not clear on exactly what you did. I just downloaded the codecs, and converted the xvid to a couple different divx codecs that were in the pack... the resulting .avi is fine, but that's never been the problem, the original xvid file is smooth. when i encoded the newly converted divx file in tmpgenc, the .m2v is smoother than before, but still too jerky.. what am i doing wrong?

    another thing i've noticed.. the audio for the xvid file i'm working with doesn't seem to have a normal codec. i checked the file info w/ virtualdub, and it couldn't recognize the audio compressor... all of the .wav files from tmpgenc are also unusable. any ideas?

  5. thats your problem right there.....recode the movie again and put in your own audio codec as described above.

    Direct stream the video.
    Full processs the audio

    Then reprocess the whole thing again but pick the audio compressor that you want to use.

    Presto, a new file that virtual dub will give you the right data....no error messages.

    Bad Codecs, no codecs, no right compressor audio codecs.....Jerk..Jerk and more Jerk....

    see instructions below:


    Hi.
    I have another solution for this problem:
    Use Virtualdub!
    A/V Sync problemsand Jerky behavior are the result of Variable Bit Rates (VBR) in the audio part of the movie. To solve the problem, you will have to convert the movie to Constant Bit Rate (CBR).
    Here is how to do that:
    GET VIRTUAL DUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Open the avi file and set Video to direct stream copy.
    Then Set Audio to Full Proccesing.
    Now you can select compression in the Audio menu.
    Set it to Uncompressed.
    Save the new Avi file.
    Virtualdub wil now write a avi file with wave sound so the file size will grow to about 1600 mb.
    Now Open the new avi file and select in the audio menu "Compression".
    Set it to Mpeg 3 - 160 kbps. This is the best quality/moviesize setting.
    Now Save it again, and your movie should work fine!
    Ps. You'll need the Radium mp3 codec!!

  6. thanks for the reply wipeout.. but i tried doing that, and virtualdub keeps giving me an error saying 'the requested audio compression is not compatible with the input format. Check that the sampling rate and channel count of the input match those of the requested format'.

    i checked all of the settings in the conversion menu, and they all match what is shown in the file info. I even tried changing the settings around, but I kept getting the same error. The only discrepency I can see is that in the file info it says "compressor = unknown (tag 2000) and precision = 0 bit".

    shouldn't the precision be 8 or 16 bit??

  7. tag 2000......now that is a real mess. That is right that you cannot do full processing on the audio....only direct stream which wont help you.

    Maybe another audio rip program will work such as goldwave or aviwave.....

    I try a few experiments to see what I can get. I report back soon

    Normally, in that situation, I encode with Tmpgenc directly with that file.

    I thik TMPGenc needs a fix for that damm codec problem

  8. TRY THIS......THIS WILL BE YOUR WAVE FILE TO MATCH WITH VIDEO IN TMPGENC

    Virtualdub:
    - menu 'File' - 'Open video file' - select the AVI-file
    (if an error should appear - don't worry)
    - menu 'Audio' - select 'Direct stream copy'
    - menu 'File' en 'Save WAV'
    - have some patience
    - go via explorer to this file en change the extension from .wav to .ac3
    Start the program 'Headac3he'
    - Source File: select the ac3-file you've just made
    - Destination File: select a name and location
    - resample to 44.1 (other standard settings such as 2-pass mode en hybrid are ok)
    - press the Start-button
    This results in a big wav-file (about 10 MB/minute movie)
    Go on to the next part (subtitles)

  9. Ok, I've done all you've said.. except

    'go to next part (subtitles)'

    What do you mean by this? BTW, thank you very much for all the help you're giving me!

  10. Ok, now I just tried again, but for some reason, now headache is giving me an error message (ac3 header not found) when i open my .ac3 file. It didn't do this the first time... AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

  11. I'm about to just give up on this route, and just send the video to my s-vhs deck.. then capture back to huffy.. then use tmpgenc to encode.

  12. i got the solution.....use mainconcept. make sure you use Koepi xvid 10/22/02 codec.

    That will work. For widescreen, frameserve with virtual dub so you can get the right screen (its a little buggy when you make the changes)

    In main concept, make these settings:

    23.976 frame with 3:2 pulldown

    480 x 480....make sure you override the regular settings.

    audio is original file
    video is name of frameserving avi from virtual dub

    download the demo so you can see. So far, it works great with XVID and that horrible horrible horrible tag 2000 audio problem ........

    Or you can code with 29.976 with no drop frame.

    So far, perfect picture. Very Very Fast encoding....2.5 hours for 70 minutes movie. about 1:2 speed.

    dont check line filtering.....you lose sound. you can leave the rest of the defaults alone.

    If you get green screen, your using the wrong xvid codec
