bmv.mpg not supported by tmpgenc need help

[vesterlee]

everytime I load tmpgenc to convert to to smaller size using tmpgenc it says can not support bmv.mpg do anyone know whats wrong

[vesterlee]

it does the same thing in v dub

A little more information might be helpful. Such as: what this bmv.mpg is and how you got it? Is it mpeg-1, mpeg-2? Did you download it, get it from a vcd, svcd, dvd, ect.? Even if you have no idea what it is or what it's from it would be good to mention that. If you have no idea what the examples are that I gave you I suggest you skim the glossary and newbie guides on the left; they are very helpful.

I am going to make an assumption that you may have downloaded it or got it from something like svcd and it is an mpeg-2 video file. Because mpeg-1 can usually work in tmpg and vdub if there isn't something else wrong. In that case you would have to either install an mpeg-2 codec then you should be able to open it in tmpg or run it through a program called DVD2AVI. Here is a guide for dvd2avi: https://www.videohelp.com/mpeg2tovcd.htm. Here is an mpeg-2 codec you could install: https://www.videohelp.com/tools.htm#codecs

do you have an mpeg2 codec?

[vesterlee]

M2V_VFP-0.6.28

Can you play it in a software player such as powerDVD or WinDVD. Because if you can't you might have a corrupted file and I don't think there is anything else you could do. Although, this brings to mind a time when my friend downloaded a clip and it wouldn't work with anything on his XP machine, but we burned it and tried on my ME machine and it worked. I have no idea what it was that made it not work, but you might try getting it to work on another computer if you can.

Its on my harddrive and I am trying to convert to a smaller mpeg file to play on dvd player like I have been doing for a long time. I use to could load the file in tmpgenc and everything was fine. Its not the only file that does this. the xvid works fine in tmpgenc. I just cant get the mpeg codec loaded in the tmpgenc folder ..

[vesterlee]

i can play it but cant convert it to a smaller size

[Donny661]

When you say the xvid works fine, do you mean you have an xvid of the same movie? If you do just use that to encode to a smaller mpeg.

[vesterlee]

no I am just saying for example thats all. the movie is the only version i have

[Conquest10]

because you said the xvid works fine. DO YOU HAVE A MPEG2 CODEC INSTALLED?

[vesterlee]

i have downloaded it but was not successful putting it in the tmpgenc folder. i need help with that
