Dowload the latest beta version of The FilmMachine

The_Mask I think I've found the problem ,
I'm using canonpus procoder 1.01.35.0 and I'm making a DVD but when TFM runs the coder it sets the target format to VCD(mpeg 1) and it actualy tries to author a DVD with a VCD files, when I tried with QuEnc everything was OK and there were files in the DVD directory
Edit : Oh I met another problem when i make a DVD with selectable subtitles, the bulgarian letters are unreadable. If I make them permanent I can read them, but they are on the picture (not on the black lanes below)

[The_Mask]

You have to choose the right character set when using selectable subs.

[Exoskeletor]

TheMask why dont you add a choice for checking if the resulting dvd is the size that if excepting. (i mean if the dvd folder is 250mb then the program must not burn it)

[The_Mask]

That is a good idea, will do that. Meanwhile try a Rewritable DVD.

[TheDot]

And how can I understand what is the right character set (for cyrylic) whit no converting the whole movie

[T-T]

hi,

is it possible also to convert in CBR mode instead of VBR ?

everything works great but when the conversion is finished and i look at the size of the dvd directory its not a full dvd (4.36Gb.) but about a Gb. smaller.
(the movie itself is completly converted)

thats why i think its because of the VBR conversion, right ?

grtz

I have now another prob.
I can´t encode in 16:9 maybe a cdec problem, but i can´t solve it, can you help me?
ex: the film is 16:9 and the progr put 16:9 and encode like 4:3 and forces pal to ntsc.
Anybody whith the same prob?????????????????????????'

[T-T]

or maybe the bitrate instead of CBR

the mask, is it possible maybe in the future that you can change these settings ?
i'd love to have my dvdr's 90/100% full writed, and more bitrate = better kwality

otherwise its a fantastic program

good job

[The_Mask]

@T-T: Will look into it.

[T-T]

@T-T: Will look into it.

thx alot

but i have dicovered another small problem

any idea what this means ?

++ WARN: Target data rate lower than computed requirement!
++ WARN: N.b. a 20% or so discrepancy in variable bit-rate
++ WARN: streams is common and harmless provided no time-outs will occur

is it something to do with the audio stream being VBR and the AVI video stream CBR ?

the dvd plays fine.
but don't know why TFM show these warns.

grtz.

Ive had a problem with TFM that deals with FPS. Im using the latest beta of TFM but ive run into the same issue with the latest official release as well. CCE 2.67, 3.2ghz cpu, 1gb ddr 3200.

Anyhow, whenever I encode an avi for use on a dvd (svcd), i need to convert pal to ntsc. Whenever I do this the file always ends up being to big for DVD5 output. Usually by something like 300mb or something in that range. Any ideas or explanations? Anyone else have this problem. I've reinstalled everything more than once to make sure that wasnt it. Ive also formatted my OS to make sure there wasn't some mistake there also.

I had the same problem with TFM 1.4. Once I installed latest beta the problem disappeared.

I'm running the latest beta as well. The CCE I'm using is a Trial SP version 2.67.00.11. I'm not sure whether or not this is causing the problem or not. It just seems like it's miscalculating the size for some reason or another, I haven't been able to figure it out. Very strange.
