avi2vcd Frequently Asked Questions - Version 1.4.2

PLEASE NOTE:

MOST PROBLEMS WITH AVI2VCD CAN BE FIXED BY INSTALLING THE LATEST
VERSION OF DIRECTX (8.1 AS OF THIS WRITING) AND THE LATEST VERSION
OF THE CODEC YOUR AVI USES AND THE LATEST VERSION OF THE DRIVERS
FOR YOUR VIDEO CAPTURE CARD (IF ANY).

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PLAY THE AVI YOU WISH TO ENCODE WITH MEDIAPLAYER! IF
MEDIAPLAYER CAN"T PLAY THE FILE, THEN AVI2VCD WON"T BE ABLE TO ENCODE IT!
Even if Mediaplayer can play it, there is a chance avi2vcd won't be able
to encode it.

Answers:

Question 0 - Where can I find, or do you have freeware software that converts .mpg
to avi?

I do not have any software that converts mpg to avi, nor can I recommend
any. If you are looking for any other mpeg software other than what is
on www.mnsi.net/~jschlic1, I suggest you begin you search at www.mpeg.org
or any search engine.

Question 1 - What is avi2vcd?

avi2vcd is a Windows based program to encode avi files to VideoCD compliant
mpeg files for recording to VideoCD with a VideoCD creation program. The
resulting VideoCD can be played on VideoCD players, and many DVD players.

Question 2 - OK, I have encoded my files, how do I get a VideoCD out of it?

Avi2vcd is just the file encoder. You will still need a CD recording
application which can create all the required structures required for
a VideoCD, as well as write the mpeg files to individual tracks on the
VideoCD. There are several such packages out there such as NTI CD Maker,
the full (Deluxe or Platinum) version of EZ CD Creator, InstantVideo, Nero,
etc. YOU CAN'T JUST RECORD THE MPEG TO A CD AND EXPECT IT TO PLAY IN A DVD
PLAYER! If your CD recording application can create VideoCD's, there will
be an explicit setting for creating a VideoCD. Check your manual. For
example, with Easy CD Creator, you need to use the EZ VideoCD Creator
application which comes with it. For InstantCD, you need to use the
InstantVideo selection in the startup menu.

Question 3 - I made a VideoCD, but my DVD player cannot play it.

Not all DVD players can play VideoCDs. Some DVD players that can play
commercially stamped "silver" VideoCD's cannot play VideoCD's on CD-R. You
need to try both CD-R and CD-RW media. I have found that even different
brands of CD-RW get different results.

Question 4 - I get a "FATAL ERROR: Could not retrieve video frame xxxx" error".

If the frame number is 0, then you either do not have a properly installed
codec for the compression method this video uses, or the codec in question
is not accessible from DirectShow or Video-for-Windows, and cannot be used
with avi2vcd ver 1.4. You might also need to upgrade the version of DirectX
installed on your system.

If the frame number is higher than 0:

Most likely either your video is corrupted (the video frame in question
is "damaged") or the codec has a bug. Avi2vcd tries to skip over the
corrupted frame to the next good frame (it will skip up to 15 bad frames
for most codecs, or 60 frames for Divx, where this is much more common
a problem). This is most usually caused by downloading video from the
net, and having the download fail. When you restart the download where it
left off, often the video is corrupted at the point of resumption. If this
is the case, you need to re-download the avi in one single, unbroken
session.

Question 5 - The encoder will not encode the avi I have.

avi2vcd will encode avi files that fit the following limitations:

Audio: if present, must be 8 or 16 bit, sample rate of
8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, or 48 KHz uncompressed PCM
only!

Video: The parameter requirements are:

Horzontal width <= 768
Vertical height <= 576
Frames per second >= 1
Colour depth: 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits

The video codec used should be compatible with DirectShow.

Note that for best quality, there are preferred values which will not
require avi2vcd to resize or resample the input to match VideoCD
specifications. The ideal values are (depending on target format):

NTSC:
Horzontal width: 352
Vertical height: 240
Frames per second: 29.97
Colour depth: 24 or 32 bits

PAL:
Horzontal width: 352
Vertical height: 288
Frames per second: 25
Colour depth: 24 or 32 bits

FILM:
Horzontal width: 352
Vertical height: 240
Frames per second: 23.976
Colour depth: 24 or 32 bits

AUDIO (NTSC, PAL, or FILM):
44.1KHz, 16 bit, mono or stereo


If you don't know what the parameters of the video file you have are, in
explorer, right click on the file once, then select 'Properties',
then select the tab 'Details' or 'Summary', depending on the version of
Windows.

Question 6 - What's a codec?

Codec stands for "COmpressor/DECompressor". Every compressed video file uses
a codec to decompress the individual frames for playback. There are a great
many codecs. Some come with Windows, others must be downloaded and installed
before you can play back the video. Some codecs are not compatible with
DirectX, which is what avi2vcd uses to decode the video frames, in which
case you will not be able to encode the video using avi2vcd. Try getting the
latest version of the codec, it might work with avi2vcd.

Question 7 - Where do I get a codec?

There are a lot of codecs, and as many places to get them as there are
codecs. If you downloaded a video from the web, and you don't have the
codec it requires, check the website you downloaded the video from for
information on where to get the codec.

Question 8 - Why is avi2vcd so slow?

Depending on your computer system, you may experience anywhere from 1 to 10
frames (more or less) encoded per second. Some systems will be slower, some
faster. This means it might easily take from 3 to 30 hours to encode 1 hour
of video to mpeg. Mpeg encoding is a computationally intensive, and slow,
process. The characteristics of the video also have an effect. If your video
is 720x480, for example, avi2vcd needs to resize each frame to 352x240
(or 352x288 for PAL), which adds to the time required. Some codecs are
also slower than others.

Question 9 - How do I encode a video with compressed audio?

Use the utility "decompress" which is included in the zip file with avi2vcd.
Decompress will copy your video to a new file with uncompressed audio.
Avi2vcd should be able to encode this new avi. Decompress SHOULD be able
to convert any file that mediaplayer can play. If you can't play the file
with media player, than neither decompress nor avi2vcd will be able
to use that avi.

Question 10 - My audio/video "lipsync" is bad after encoding to mpeg.

If the lipsync was ok in the source avi (you can play it back with
mediaplayer, and the sound and video are syncronized) then your avi
probably has compressed audio. Some forms of audio compression
(notably MPEG Layer-3) CAN result in a loss of audio/video sync,
even when you have used "decompress". I have no solution for this at this
time. Don't use compressed audio if you can avoid it!

Question 11 - When I encode a video of 12 frames per second, the mpeg player I use
claims the frame rate of the resulting mpeg is 23.976FPS, but the video
still looks jerky?

The VideoCD standard allows for frame rates of 23.976, 25, and 29.97.
The non-standard frame rate videos are resampled to a standard frame
rate by simple frame replication. Hence, for a 12FPS source video, each
source frame is converted to 2 frames in the resulting mpeg. The video is
still jerky as a result. There are still only 12 "different" frames in each
second in this case.

Question 12 - When I encode a video the resulting mpeg is larger than the source?

The resulting mpeg will always be 176400 bytes x # of seconds in source
video. This is a result of the VideoCD standard.

Question 13 - The mpeg avi2vcd generated is larger than will fit on a CD, how
do I split it?

Use the "Split target mpeg at" option, See Question 23 for details.

Question 14 - When I encode an avi file that uses the Cinepak (or other) codec,
the resulting mpeg is very "blocky".

The encoded mpeg can be no better than the original source file for video
quality, in fact it is usually significantly worse. This applies to all
codecs. To obtain maximum quality, you must use a high quality original
video that is only slightly compressed, or not compressed at all. Simply
encoding miscellaneous avi's you may have lying around will probably not
work very well. The encoder is paricularily sensitive to noise, if the
source avi has visible noise in the picture (as from VHS video tape),
it will not encode well.

Question 15 - When I encode a screen capture sequence, or a computer generated
animation, the resulting mpeg is not very clear.

Mpeg was intended to compress real world video images, not artificial
computer generated images.

Question 16 - When I play back the resulting mpeg, the video occasionally
freezes, or it plays like a slide show with a new still frame
every few seconds while the audio continues.

Try turning your screen saver off completely before starting the encode.
Many users have reported this solves the problem for them, though I have
never experienced it myself. Also make sure you have the latest version of
DirectX and the codec your video uses. The DIVX codec exhibits this behavior
on many PC's. This is a bug in the Divx codec. Divx is aware of the problem
and expects a fix in the next release of the divx codec. (Current version
of Divx codec as of this writing, 5.02).

Question 17 - AVI2VCD encodes my avi, but the sound is garbled, what can I do?

Please send me a copy of the .log file that avi2vcd generated when you
tried to encode the video. The most likely cause is that your video uses
compressed audio. Avi2vcd can only handle uncompressed audio. If you
insist on encoding a video with compressed audio, then use decompress.exe
which is included in the zip file with avi2vcd.

Question 18 - avi2vcd will not encode the video from my mjpeg capture card?

Some mjpeg capture cards use a hardware based codec which is not compatible
with the DirectShow component of DirectX. Some software mjpeg codecs are
also not compatible with DirectX. You should first make sure you have the
latest version of the codec. If that still does not work, then the only
other thing I can suggest is to contact the manufacturer and request a
DirectShow compatible version of your codec. Also make sure you have the
latest version of DirectX installed on your system.

Question 19 - After encoding, the mpeg video is inverted, what can I do?

Most inverted video is automatically corrected by avi2vcd. If your's is not,
select the "Invert Video" check box before encoding.

Question 20 - I'm having problems encoding videos captured from my DV Camcorder.

Generally, there are no issues with encoding Type 2 DV avi files,
and if your DV capture program gives you the option, you should choose
Type 2 DV instead of Type 1. However, if you attempt to encode Type 1
DV avi files, you may experience the following error message:

"Error attempting to read audio from Type 1 DV .avi file
Re-render video with video editor and try again!"

This occurs when DirectShow reports to avi2vcd that a Type 1 DV file with
48KHz audio has 32KHz audio! Usually this occurs when you try to encode
a Type 1 file directly after capture from a DV camera. If this file is first
edited with an video editor (such as Media Studio Pro) then re-rendered to a
Type 1 DV file, avi2vcd can usually encode this fine. I have not been able
to correct this problem as yet, but I am still working on it. In the
meantime, it does not affect most individuals since generally avi files are
edited after capture and before encoding.

A simple workaround for the above issue is to set your camcorder to 32KHz,
12 bit audio. This seems to works fine even with Type 1 DV files.

Some camcorders work better during capture if they are powered through the
AC adapter rather than the battery. Check your owner's manual.

Sound quality: If you experience poor quality audio, generally described
as noise, when encoding Type 1 DV files, try rerendering your DV file to
Type 2, or use 32KHz audio.

Pinnacle DV500 Owners:

Make sure you upgrade to Version 8.1 of DirectX (or later) and get the
Version 4.0 (or later) DV 500 driver from the Pinnacle web site.

Question 21 - Adaptec's Easy VideoCD Creator says the mpeg produced by avi2vcd
is not "Whitebook" compliant?

Start up VideoCD creator, go to Help - > About. What does the dialog box
say next to "MCI Mpeg Video Driver:"? If it says something other than
"DirectShow" or "ActiveMovie", for example "QI Cinemaster DVD", than that's
likely the problem. Easy VideoCD Creator uses the default MCI MPEG driver
to determine the source mpegs characteristics. Many DVD software players
replace the DirectShow MCI Driver with their own, which may not properly
identify the mpeg file characteristics to Easy VideoCD Creator. All I can
suggest is that you remove whatever software installed the new MCI driver
and try again. You should also request a fix from the manufacturer of the
software which caused the problem.

Question 22 - The VideoCD creation program I use "Brand X", does not accept the
output of avi2vcd. What can I do?

Make sure you are using the latest version of the program. If that still
does not work, send me an email with the name, version, and a web location
where I can download an evaluation copy of the program in question. I will
attempt to resolve this for the next version. If an evaluation version is
not available, I will contact the software company and see if they are
willing to help.

Question 23 - What is the "Split Target MPEG" option for?

The "Split target MPEG" option causes avi2vcd to limit the size of the mpeg
file produced to the size (default 700 MB, where MB = 1024*1024 bytes)
specified in the edit box in the option. This is the aproximate size limit
of most VideoCD's. If your source would cause the mpeg to go over this size,
avi2vcd will start a new mpeg with a filename the same as the first mpeg
with the addition of "_2". I.e. if your source file was "movie.avi", your
target was "movie.mpg", then when "movie.mpg" reaches 700MB, it will start
a new mpeg of the name "movie_2.mpg". You may alter the size at which the
split occurs anywhere in the range of 350 - 900 MB. The size and state of
the option are saved as the new default.

The main use of this is when encoding large source avi's (such as 90 - 120
minute movies) into 2 separate mpegs, suitable for burning to separate
VideoCD's.

Note that if the second mpeg (i.e. "movie_2.mpg") reaches the split point
(default 700MB), then a third file "movie_3.mpg" will be started, and so on,
until the encoding is finished.

Question 24 - What is the "Shutdown system at encode completion" option for?

On most computers, mpeg encoding is a very time consuming process. With Ver
1.4 of avi2vcd, this option allows you to start a long encoding session
before you go to bed at night, or to work in the morning (for example), and
avi2vcd will automatically shutdown your computer when it has finished
encoding your video.

PLEASE NOTE: You computer MUST be capable of being shutdown under computer
software control in order for this option to function properly! Generally
speaking this requires either an "ATX" type desktop computer, or any recent
laptop. If using the "START->SHUTDOWN" from the start menu in Windows will
power down your PC, then this option should work. If not, then your computer
will only logoff and put itself into a state where it is ready to have the
power turned off.
