HDTV TS to DVD w/ TMPGEnc

[Devinator]

Hello. I have a TS video... I used HDTV2MPEG to remove the commercial and merge it into a single TS file. Following advice I found in an old thread here, I installed an mpeg2 codec from Elecard which allowed me to open .TS files in TMPGenc. However a 45 minute video only shows up as 15,000 or so frames/8 minutes and change in TMPGenc and thats all it will encode. The same .ts file opens and plays fine with the full length in VLC or media player classic. I also tried in HDTV2MPEG to save it as an mpg TMPGenc will not accept at all.

This really doesn't seem like an encoding problem, I've tried all the settings I can think of it's just that TMPGEnc will not properly read/process the file.

All programs should be the current versions here. Any ideas on how to fix this or suggestions on other tools? Thanks

DGMPGDec -> Avisynth -> TMPGEnc

Thanks for the advice... What is the role of using AVISynth in addition to DGMPGDec, resizing or? It's been some time since I've used it.

DGMPGDec's role ends in an Avisynth script that serves video via Avisynth. You make the script and then open it in TMPGEnc.

ahh ok... I am able to open a .d2v from DGMPGDec in TMPGEnc. :D

The beauty of TMPGEnc is that it opens directly everything. You can use avs if you want to use any of their filters. You can open it MPG directly after you have this.

Just unzip it and place the two files inside the TMPGEnc file folder. It should open .mpg, .m2v, mpv & mov.

I have attached the file to this post but it has to be approved by the forum.

Hmm, still not approved. Anyways I seem to be having sync problems starting towards the end of the video, after where I edited out a commerical with HDTV2MPG. It stays synced fine in the .TS produced but not in the authored dvd.

I convert the .ts file to .mpg using HDTVtoMPEG2 1.10.6 then creating a d2v file with DVD2AVI 1.86. Write the following script

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.0.8\plugins\Mpeg2dec\MPEG2DEC.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.0.8\plugins\Decomb V4.00\Decomb.dll")

mpeg2source("D:\SPEED\DVDR\MainMovie\MainMovie.d2v")

Telecide(post=true, guide=1)

Decimate(cycle=5)

FieldDeinterlace(Full=False)

Then, input this onto TMPGEnc 2.58 Plus, set to MainProfile @ Highlevel then downsize to 1280X720p and compress. Fix the delay on the AC3 with AC3 Delay Corrector and then mux back to .ts file using Womble then fix the .ts file with MPEG Repair 1.0.0.9 and I have created a 1/3 the file size and D-VHS & ATSC complaint .ts file.

Never had a sync problem. Hope that helps.

Go to SETTINGS, ADVANCED and see if there is a checkbox against SOURCE RANGE. If there is, it may be set to a certain number of frames. If NOT, double click it and set start frame to 1. Move the slider all the way to the right and hit the SET END FRAME button. Make sure SOURCE RANGE is checked and try your encode again.

I have this trouble with some AVI files, when the main window gives me a "B Frame Decoder Lag" message, and with some M2V files.
