I have spent days trying to convert a movie in AVI format to SVCD using TMPGEnc Plus.
I finished with two mpeg files but when I try to burn them to disc with Nero 6 using the SVCD format Nero doesn't see my newly created files.
Nero has been set to find files of type 'All Nero compilations and images' but if I change the setting to 'All Files' my images then appear. When I select the image I get the popup message 'Unexpected file format.'
I would appreciate if someone could suggest where I may have gone wrong in the conversion process.
In life, you reap what you sow.

Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new at this pirating stuff, basically I have a ps2, some empty 700MB cds, and a computer. What I was wondering was is there a chance I can download some divX movies from kazza, change the format or something, and be able to play the movie on my ps2 when i burn it. I have no modchip or no programs such as ps2 reality player or Nero. If anybody has any good tips they're greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi I tried changing paycheck from xvid to DVD, I got it to work ok, only the movie skips somewhat frequently (sound doesn't seem to skip though - and is perfectly in sync), I know it's not the dvd-rw media i'm using because I played it off hd using powerdvd and it's the same. What could i be doing wrong I followed the guide exactly. Btw the movie uses AC3 DVM sound if this helps. Thx for the help in advance.

I have the same problem as A-LOLO. I can watch all the videos fine, and normal AVI's will convert, but with Xvid's it says it's unsupported. I downloaded the recommended FFDShow, but it doesn't seem to make any difference to TMPEnc. TMPEnc still says that my XVid AVI file is unsupported.

Plur:
I ran into similar issues to you when I first started. A couple of ideas:
Step1
The AVI file that you are starting with could be either raw digital footage from a digital camcorder (probably very large in size 1-4 Gigabytes) -or- it could be a Divx or Xvid compressed format with the .AVI file extension (maybe something you picked up off the web) but it is likely much smaller in size (100 MB - 500MB). A program called AVICodec will tell you what kind it is exactly, and you can download this from the AfterDawn site. The size of the file is also a good indicator.
Step2-
If the file is a raw (uncompressed) AVI, then follow the guide using TMPGEnc to convert it to MPEG2 format. Nero 6 will easily burn this .MPG file to a DVD, but follow the guide. Note - before you start the Nero 6 burn process try playing the MPEG2 file that TMPGEnc created using a player like Windows Media Player. If you have both video and sound, then the Nero burn will be a snap. If you don't, then try playing the original raw .AVI file that you started with in the same Media Player. If you have both video and sound, then TMPGEnc will create the MPEG2 appropriately.
NOTE2- When using TMPGEnc, make sure you select the "System (Video+Audio)" in the Output Stream type otherwise it will create 2 separate files one for video and one for audio and they are not as easy to work with and could be why you are only getting audio.
Step2B:
If the original file is compressed (DIVX or XVid) then TMPGEnc will still do it but you will need to load something like FFDShow which you can also download here. This will provide TMPGEnc with the codec it needs to deal with this file.
Step3: After making sure that your MPEG2 file works in a media player, just use Nero 6 to burn it to a DVD.
Good luck.
If the file is

Hi, I'm trying to convert some Xvids to DVD using TMPG, but when I try and adjust the source range, I get an "Invalid Pointer Operation." message. Is there any way around this besides just not changing the source range? =\

Gredlen,
I haven't had good success changing the source range either. The best way to modify the file is while it is still in AVI format with an AVI editor (Windows Movie Maker in XP works). Then don't even mess with the source range box, just go to "next".
Good luck.

Plur,
It sounds like you are converting the video from wide screen to 4:3 format. If you use the standard settings in TMPG for DVD NTSC, it should convert it to look exactly it the way it looks in your AVI file.

I have been trying to encode divx files with TMPGEnc...about 700mb in size, exactly the way the guide states
http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm ) . I m having a problem though. When i am either going to NTSC or PAL I cant seem to go under the disk capacity. I try to lower the vid under 2000 for 720 x 480 but u cant cause it will be low res. And i was told i shouldnt lower the audio under 384. So now i cant seem to get the disk capactiy under 100. I have tried NTC or PAL low res but u cant use 720 x 480 , which causes problems b/c u TMPG author and IFO edit dont let u author dvd files with 352 x 480. What should i do? Should i lower the audio rate, which sometimes wont even do the trick at 160. Does it even matter if i go a little over the disk capacity? SHould I split the divx file? I would like to have these divx flies on one dvd with decent quality. I would greatly appreciate it if someone can help me =). Im sure there is a solution to this .

How long does it take most to convert the AVI using TMPGEnc? Mine takes 9 hours for low quality. Im using a 2.0 ghz pentium 4. Should it take that long?

nope it shoud not take that long i have an AMD 2000+ (1.67ghz) and mine takes about max 5 hours for highly encoded video so i think that your procesor does not have enough multimedia extensions or packages (i think thats what it is called)or something is wrong with your processor

Just Used MainConcept MPEG Encoder ---> then TMPGEnc author to create dvd files and chapters--->Tryed to burn with TMPGEnc didnt work (some error came up) so i simply used Nero 6.
Benefits are MPEG Encoder is quicker than TMPGEnc Plus, but i wasnt to happy about the quality of the DVD made with Mainconcept so i am going to go through the method using TMPGEnc plus this time, and see the difference. (Not looking forward to the long wait of converting though) :(
I'll let u know what i think :)

There is no need to convert your AVI back into mpeg2 for the DVD: go out there and rent a DVD movie, then use DVDDecrypter to rip as image this DVD movie onto your hard drive, and then use Daemon tool to mount this image, then use DVDShrink to reduce the size of the menu file ( VTS_01_0.VOB if VTS_01 is your main movie )( use this DVDShrink to reduce ONLY THE MENU, but nothing else ), and then feed the result into DVD-REBUILDER and make a multi-pass dvd conversion using CCE. Refer to the link below for some important tips on how to use DVD-REBUILDER:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/87438
Tmpegenc will be a name of yesterday, the name of old technology: it can be used to extract some files.bmp out of your VTS_01_0.VOB if VTS_01 is your main movie, and can be used to see how long a particular piece of video is: Tmpegenc should not be used for encoding mpeg2 for DVD anymore: it is too slow: a solution would be DVD-REBUILDER or the Big 3 methods: refer to the above link for some important tips on how to use DVD-REBUIDER.
