Codec Problems :-(

To tomkit66

Again I did a little of experimenting and found out something.
By reading your post and others I found out that Xvid compression don't work that well with TMPGEnc (or does it?).

I tried this with a couple of XviD's and it worked every time.
You will have to change the FourCC in the .avi (the one with no sound)
I used abcAVI Tag Editor (http://www.divx-digest.com/software/...gs_editor.html)

1.Load the .avi in abcAVI Tag Editor
2.Under the Hack & Tweak tab check the FourCC button.
3.Scroll down in the Known Four Character Codes field until you find [DIVX] OpenDivX (DivX 4.0 and later)
4.Save (Ctrl+S)
5.Test and see if you get the movie to play in WMP before loading it in TMPGEnc.If not, try another FourCC.

If this doesn't work you can always change the FourCC back to Xvid

TMPGEnc :

Load the .avi in video source and the .wav(44,100Hz) in the audio source.Setup TMPGEnc and encode.


I sure hope this works so we can get rid of this annoying problem.

hi again !

I downloaded as you suggested the TMPGEnc 2.50 freeware, I also used VD to change the sample rate of the .wav file.

When I first loaded video and audio file into TMPGE and adjusted the settings for the vcd format I got the same "nttdl.dll" error like the times before.

I tried different settings with the same error messages.

Finally I did not change the frame setting from 23,97 to 25 pressed the start key, got the error message, changed the frames from 23,87 to 25, started again and .... taataa .... everything works fine !

I have no idea why but it worked

Oh well.....thanks for all the help!!

Great!
A little experimenting gets the job done

Well first of all DL the one called "vdub_mp3_freeze.zip"

Unpack it and then in the folder where you unpacked it and run the file "Auxsetup.exe" and press the button "Instal handler" when this is done restart ypur computer and open VDub (The one you just unpacked) and open the .Avi file.

First of all we need to know if you are working with PAL or NTSC you do this be looking at "Video--> Framerate"

23,97 NTSC
29,97 NTSC
30 NTSC
25 PAL

If its NTSC you need 352x240 if its PAL you need 352x288

when this is done press "Video-->Filters" and add Resize

you then enter the size you need. The first 2 boxes in the top is the size you want to have. Since you are making a VCD you need the Width of 352 and the Height differ if the movie is in 2,35:1, 16:9, or 4:3. If its 4:3 you simply need to sy 352x240 for NTSC or 352x288 for PAL.

Its a bit harder when you are looking at 16:9 or 2,35:1 but here it is:

2,35:1 PAL = 352x163
2,35:1 NTSC = 352x136

16:9 PAL = 352x213
16:9 NTSC = 352x178

4:3 PAL = 352x288
4:3 NTSC = 352x240

When you have choosen the correct aspectratio you check "Expand frame and letterboxed image" and in Frame Width you write 352 and in Frame Heigth you write 288 for PAL or 240 for NTSC (If it was a 4:3 movie there is no need to use this)

When all this is done you press "File-->Save process settings" this is just a precaution if somethings go's wrong and you will have to do it all over again.

then you choose "file-->start frameserver" on the first screen press "Start" and on the next select a location for the file it should be frame serverd to (remember to add .VDR or else TMPEnc will not be able to recognize the file) press "save" open the file in TMPEnc and choose the correct template

NTSCFilm for 23,97FPS
NTSC for 29,97 or 30FPS
PAL For 25 FPS

Press encode and Volia your on your way.




If you need 2 files for the VCD because the movie is to long to fit on one CD just press Home at the beggining at the movie and End somewhere in the middle where you want to cut in VDub and you only frameserve that part of the movie. Then home at the place where you ended before and end at the end of the movie to only frameserver that part of the movie.

Hope it works
