Just the standard settings.

Use the AutoQmatEnc (AQE). The best encoder!

And the BDVD matrix!

Implement - change Q factor and Bias.

a suggestion for next build, could TFM not install ffdshow as i have the latest one from free-codecs.com and after i install TFM it causes problems with some encoders and DVB Web Scheduler for me.

[The_Mask]

Will look in to that.

Hello again

I have another problem while converting 2-CD AC3 divx. Recently I've reinstall my system and all goes OK until new release of TFM (1.5.0.18). Now sound ends after 20 to 40 mins of movie. I've discovered errors while Audio Extraction - it skips huge parts of movie. What could be the reason? BeSweet, AC3Filter or something else. You should know that preview has no errors.

Thanks for any answer.

And have a happy Easter!

Is another log needed?
As you can see there is no info about skipping audio data...
But when audio extraction starts it counts from 0 to 24min 45 s, wait a while, and skips to 1h 02 min 15 s, works fine with 25 min of movie and leaves...

Please help me...

Mr.Mask,I am so grateful that you have not forgotten to add FULL-SCREEN preview,as I was the first one to notice that!I was checkiong once a week for a new version,and tonight,I was thinking "It is not possible that THE MASK himself had not released some new stuff already,and I have just downloaded the latest beta,did not even try it yet.Just an hour ago,I made a Screenshot which showed that TFM was using...2,37 GB Ram ,although they were many other open windows!Without fullscree,the DVD`s I made for my firends are awfully big (or small)and totallly unwatchable

[The_Mask]

Can you explain that further, maybe some screenshots, *.log files?

[pramu]

hi, i just joined the site because i happened to see the software only two days ago. great one..i already burned a dvd with subtitle using the latest beta version.

but there is an audio synch problem....i see an audion delay option...but how to use it??? how can we find the actual delay???

in the preview there is no delay only after burning there is delay...
i went through all the similar posts...but nothing seems to have given a solution....
i checked my avi file for errors but it shows none....

can you give me a guide how to use the audio delay function and correct it???

===================================

hi

just want to let the mask know, that i have the new tfm installed 18 version and my first try with this new app is on first sound part the counter goes very jerky! ??? and is taking forever on this part, then when it finally gets done CCE pops up but shows the dsroba first screen going to take something like 49 mins then hangs a death and goes no further, i am test ing again as we speek so will try to capture logs when it gets to CCE/DSROBA first screen for you...

sound is took 5/10 mins so far halfway done?

ok the first audio ripping now done (took ages to complete) its now on first screen of CCE/DSROBA and sat there doing nothing! screen of CCE is up and no counters moving at all? like its froze solid?

script so far (its still hung as i type)

no go going to re-install v17 see if all is ok...

--------------------------------

EDIT

ok installed the v17.3 version back in and the sound part is flying along like lightening! probably only take 2 mins to get audio part done!

so version v18 is very jerky slower alot slower then hangs on CCE/DSROBA

just to let you know mask with v17.3 i have done lots of avi all good! and fast it takes me about just over an hour to get from avi to dvd iso with DSROBA ticked

@ rotary, i have gone through that thread and it does not show any our of synch in Avi-mux Gui and it showed no problem...
i mean it dint show any lag it was fine......
also i read amny threads about similar problems..but none had defenite answers.... should i go back to the 1.4version and try again??????

[pramu]

@rotary..yes i found it now..actually there are two avi files which i combined in tfm and one audio shows delay..... now how should i go about it????
you said just to save as new file..but i cant find that option in Avi-mux Gui.
may be because i am a beginner in this area....could you tell me in detail.????

hi just follow that picture in that thread for second avi is it only?

then load both and try TFM

if tfm doesnt work even though fiirst avi is ok load to avi-mux gui and do both avi files as save as so they match for TFM loading encoding

[pramu]

thanks a lot..i will try that and let you know
