AVI from Premiere 6.5 in TMPGEnd not accepted

[tomeczek]

I am creating DVD out of my old NTSC VHS tapes. Captured to .AVI. Edited in Premiere 6.5 and saved as .AVI.

Wanted to de-mux it in TMPGEnc. TMPGEnc says that this format is not supported.

Has anyone experienced that before?

(I know that I can use MPEG encoder: I tried it and was not satisfied with the results)

I have converted several VHS tapes to DVD and this is the formula that I've used:

1) Capture the VHS in DV format
2) Edit and save as AVI.
3) Demux the audio to WAV using VirtualDub
4) Re-Encode the video using CCE (Use whatever you'd like here)
5) Convert audio to AC3 (Besweet)
6) Remux the ac3 and resulting m2v in DVD authoring program
7) Burn


Check to make sure you are saving in windows AVi format as well, as this might be the problem.

im assuming you tried to de-mux the avi in tmpgenc using its 'MPEG Tools'?

they are called MPEG Tools cause they only work with MPEG's.

tmpgenc can save the audio to a separate file for you, load the avi into the main screen and you can export it to a wave in the file menu somewhere.

Hi, I have exact same problem.

I have observed the following:

Capture DV to AVI using Premiere 6.5 and take that AVI and encode no problem with TMPGENC. It is only when I export the movie to another DV AVI with Premiere 6.5 that it makes an incompatible AVI for TMPGENC.

Now I can get TMPGENC to recognize this AVI if I give the DirectShow Mulitmedia File Reader a higher priority but it then is not 100% - for example, I get glitches in the resulting MPG video and sometimes TMPGENC just locks up. The OpenDML works fine, but only is compatible with DV extracted directly from tape with Premiere 6.5.

I guess maybe one could export back to tape and re-dump it again, but I don't like that idea.

I tried the Adobe MPEG encoder and was not as pleased with the results. I upgraded to version 1.2 (1.3 is beta and decided against that for now) and then I adjusted some custom settings and bumped the quality up to max and am very pleased. I think I will use this from now on instead of TMPGENC. Go play with the settings and give it another chance.
