So near... trouble with TMPEnc

[FreeMorpheme]

After finally successfully transcoding an avi file and authoring it with TMP, I get an error message when I try to output the data.

It tells me that the bitrate for my file is 9000 for the video and 1536 for the audio, which puts me about 800 over the limit of 9848.

I assume I can change this in the bitrate tab of AVI2DVD?
Do I reduce the max video output, the max size or the average output?

If I ignore the problem I get a non standard DVD that plays lined and black and white in my DVD player, but perfect in my PC.

Any help appreciated, also advice on where to buy a proper copy of Cinema Craft, as the watermark is a pain.

Many thanks...

The film playing in black and white has nothing to do with the TMP authoring but your standalone or your tv set not being able to convert the dvd from ntsc to pal or vice versa.You can just ignore the out of standard warning as its never made any difference in the ones me and many people here have done.

Also if you have 1500 pound or above you can buy CCE from here

So are you all watching films with watermarks, or is there something you're not telling me?

I know there's a budget version you can get, is it any good? Or are there other options? I am a hugely rich and famous business tycoon and use $100 bills as potting compost, but 1500 still seems a little steep.

I tried reducing the bitrate on the next attempt, now it doesn't even read, tells me the disk is not formatted, but if I format the disk before use, it tells me that the disk has been written to and refuses to write to it... -sigh-

any ideas, anyone?

The high Bitrate error your getting in TDA is due to the DVD Compliant box being ticked in CCE Advanced settings. Dont change the Bitrates, just either ignor the error (causes NO problems) or untick the DVD Compliant box.

As for Black & White playback, check the Setup in your DVD Player and set TV output to PAL and NOT Multi. If this doesnt fix it, get a new TV ot DVD Player. Alternatively reencode the AVI and tick the NTSC to PAL option in DVD2SVCD.

Hmmm

So I have now expended some of my gigantic liquid funds on a legitimate copy of CCE Basic. I begin to encode with DVD2SVCD, and all is well.

The audio begins...and completes with success...

then disaster! Look;

Audio conversion finished.

The damn thing won't even let me run CCE. Why? I have told it where to find the new files, I can load the program by itself, but when it wants to be used as part of the burning process; nothing.

You need to use eclcce. Copy it to the same folder you installed CCE Lite to, run it once and pion to CCE Lites's executable file. Then in DVD2SVCD, point to the eclcce.exe file.
