TMPGenc freezing

[shattersys]

When I try to use TMPGenc with this avi file it freezez 6% into the inverse telecline, other .avi's I have tried work fine..any suggestions?

1) make sure you have xvid 1.0.3 installed

2) for some reason tmpgenc pukes at avi's with PCM audio. make your OWN .wav file with virtualdub as outlined in the guide and use that as the audio source before you encode. do this and it should be smooth sailing.

change the audio to a .WAV file using Virtualdub. Load the file. Go to "video">Direct stream copy. Under "audio">full processing mode, Click "audio" again. click Conversion check 48,000Hz and check "high quality" and ok. Go to "audio" >compression, select "no compression" (PCM) and ok. Finally go to FILE> save WAV. this will produce a .wav file (audio only). You will use this as the audio input for TMPGenc. see screenshots below.

thanks for the tip columbo, I tried creating the wav file but it still froze on the inverse telecline. I then checked what the fps were on the file and it was 25 fps so I unchecked inverse telecline and it worked. What does inverse telecline do anyway? lessen the noise in the video?

Hi shattersys,

If your video is 29.97fps and was originally shot on film, it's probably been telecined. Telecine is a process that changes 23.976fps (frames per second) progressive video to 29.97 frames per second interlaced (59.94 fields per second). Normally that means you can perform an IVTC (Inverse Telecine) operation on it to recover the original progressive frames. Not only will this give you back the original progressive content, it will also reduce the filesize by discarding 1 out of every 5 frames.

shattersys, you should give the guide a look, 25 fps files do not require the inverse telecine setting. i should have pointed that out from the start, my err, glad it worked out for you
