On starting the TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress program, I am receiving "Application error: EAccessViolation in module TMPGEncVMW5.exe/689E99E9. Reading error occurred in address 689EA9E9 at address 689EA9E9.” followed by "FastMM has detected a GetMem call after FastMM was uninstalled."

Hello,

I have built dual opteron 6272 for a client to encode videos. TMPGEnc seems to be using only 4 cores max, at 5-7% of total load.

Is there a way to make TMPGEnc use more cores? Client needs fast encoding and currently there is no difference between single i7-2600 and 32 core opteron setup, as i7 will run at 100% and 32 cores at 6%, output time will be the same.

I'm using Windows XP and have a weird problem. When encoding and choosing an Output folder, I am not seeing the "project_1" folder in Windows Explorer.

It shows up in TMPGEnc's folder list but when I try to open it I get a "refers to location that is unavailable".

The folder is missing from Windows Explorer. When doing a Browse For Folder within TMPGEnc the folder is there and the files within the folder are correct.

I just can't open the folder, and it's missing from Windows Explorer.

I'm stummped.

Now it's working. This is too weird. Thanks anyway. Problem solved for now.

Does TMPGEnc 4.0 express convert trp files?

Might be possible, but I'm not sure since I don't have a trp file to test with.

TMPGEnc 4XPress automatically sets a job's status to "Output Completed" once completed so it will not run again when the Encode button is pressed.

But I find there are often times when having completed a job, I want to alter some setting, perhaps alter an output file name or path slightly. Ultimately this resets the job status so it will run again, but there are times when I do not want this to happen.

All I can do is move such a job to the end of the queue, press "Encode" then abort the job.

Is there anyway to manually set job status to "Output Completed"?

So you want it in the queue, but you don't want to output it?

I would just not add it to the batch or remove it if you have no intention of encoding it.
Maybe I don't understand what the point is.

In any case, there isn't a way to set a job as completed. If you really have to have it in your queue and you want to output all the other files in the queue except that one, I would put it at the beginning of the list, start the encode and then click the Abort button for that file. The batch will continue to encode the following files in the list.

I was wondering what the max size of a divx file. SOme of my movies are being broken down into two files if they are bigger than 2.0g

I believe it was an old AVI restriction (which is what DivX is based on). Newer versions of the DivX codec can have larger files I think. Try downloading the latest DivX codec and use the AVI output format and select the DivX codec (i.e. don't use 4.0 XPress' preinstalled DivX output format). That should work.

1 - this update recognize CUDA on my PC (Win7), like the previuos one, but CUDA stay allaways 0% !!
2 - When added file in "source" tab, Xpress freeze, only taskmanager kill Xpress
3 - the "stop" button in "encodage" tab Xpress freeze also...

I will back to the previous version, where is the link to download it ?

in filters the resize one is always on and it wants to resize to 320X240 with high quality interlace
Even though I choose progressive authoring works recognizes the files as interlaced.

The resize and deinterlace filter is always on because their parameters can be set from the Format Stage of the program. So in the Format stage, make sure you select the output size you want and choose progressive if that's what you want.

It would be really nice if I could use the batch encode option to create m2t files with ac3 (dolby) audio. Currently in the version of 4.0 XPress I have, this is not possible, which greatly increases the amount of time it takes to create my output files for clients.

Currently we have to use the encode tool to create separate M2V, Mp2 audio and ac3 audio files and then MUX each pair together.

We work with hundreds if not thousands of files at a time and cannot manually MUX each audio track with the elementary stream.

If I have a pre-existing video in a lower bitrate (e.g., 3 mb/s?) and I'd like to do anything I can to improve it. Will encoding to a higher bitrate (e.g., 5 mb/s) provide any value at all, or will I just have a larger file of the same quality? I realize detail can't be added back in once it has been removed. But...

At the lower bitrate I am seeing quite a bit of artifacting, especially in motion. If I understand correctly, encoding to a higher bitrate will contain less partial frames. So even though it is basically the same image there is less processing?

My gut says no possible improvement at all, but I thought I'd just throwing it out there to make sure.

Can't open flv file

4.0 XPress can only import certain types of flv files, so yours may be the wrong type.

TKRAVE, isn't it also dependent upon what kind of codecs you have installed as well? Seems like I could not open FLV files at one point but then installed a codec and it worked.

Yes, it can also depend on any directshow codecs you have installed. I am not sure what a good flv codec is though.
