who to control the m2v file size from Tmpgenc

[aaz]

I've tried Tmpgenc to encode .d2v generated from dvd2avi to create .m2v file to be remuxed by ifoedit, i've tried some templates submitted on other sites, but every time, i've got .d2v files >4.37 GB, what are the steps effects the file size?

change the average bitrate, you can use a lot of bitrate calculators to pick the right number.

you may have to use 2pass vbr tho, not all the encoding options let you select the average bitrate.

Thnakx. What about the MAX. and Min birate, should set the Min to zero and the max as the defult (9000) or just set it to the birate given by the birate calculator (i.e.) Avg. Birate=MaxBirate)?

Ok, I figure it up and had a 3.5 gb m2v file out of TmpGenc.
While demuxing the Orginal VOB file with that file, it was easy and cleam, just the same result i expected. Also, made the VOB correction by IfoEdit.

But i played the rsulting VOB file using PowerDVD, and i find that the Movie freezed or slow and the audio is out of sync. !!!
Then a fast frames comes, and again freez, and so on..?

Did i missed any thing in TmpGenc?

Did you produce a TMPTemplate in IfoEdit before encoding?

If your're going to use IFOEdit to remux, then it is vital that you use force I frames in TMPEnc. This option is set from the GOP structure menu.

You will need to use the latest version of IFOEdit (0.95 I think) and create a TMPGEnc template. Be aware though that you need to hit escape after a couple of seconds into the creation of the template, and then select a GOP with the same structure as the rest of the film and hit OK. This is because some DVDs have different GOP structures at the beginning of the film and can screw things up.

On all but the latest version of TMPGEnc however, forcing the I frames results in the program appearing to have crashed, it takes a horrendous amount of time to read the file. Version 2.58 doesn't seem to have this problem though.

Unfortunately, even then you cannot guarantee that the remuxed file will be in sync. DVD Mastro is a better solution for remuxing (technically authoring), although this is commercial software, not freeware. For this you would need to have the audio stream extracted from the VOBs, done using Smartripper or DVD2AVI. Watch the time delay though (usually negative i.e. the audio is ahead of the video in the file).

Hope this helps.

Just switched from TmpGenc to CCE, much faster and less pain. Thanks for the help.
