I have a problem that seems to crop up once in a while with other users, but I have never seen a solution which works.
My .avi file renderer out at 720x480 NTSC standard digital, DV Type 1, is read into TMPGenc as 360x240. The same files are seen by Widows Media Player as 360x240.
I tried ALL the suggested fixes - none work and changing the size in WMP 6.4 refuses to save.
Okay, frankly I don't care if the file displays at 360x240, if it encodes properly. It seems it won't do that, though, as all the parameters are also incorrect - it says progressive, etc. instead of lower field first interlaced. I rendered out an uncompressed .avi and it reads in fine.
Can you help at all? I have been going nutso trying to fix this... I need to author this feature length DVD asap!
hello all i need some help on TMPGEnc Plus 2.5. when its done ripping a AVI 2a MPG there is no sound i've tryed 2 rip just the sound and the still no sound at all i've even have put if on a cd but still no sound.there is sound on the AVI befor i rip it but none after its been ripped....help help help help help
Sorry-a lil late but better than never.
I had that same issue with some avi audio years ago.
Get the audio decompressor ver 1.4 and decompress the audio to a wav. The decompressed movie file name will now contain .pcm at the end.
The file will be considerably larger until you reencode and recompress the audio (lame mp3 etc).

Good morning, i have downloaded the rel. 4.6.2.266 of TMPGenc Xpress4, but the Cuda doesn't work. I don't know if it's a bug or what. The Cuda toolkit and the drivers work, the SDK browser send me a message like this "Application not initialized (0xc0000135) press OK to continue".
I have 2 GPU 8800 GTS in SLI on an Asus Extreme Striker II, CPU QCore Qx 6700, DDR2 2 Gb COrsair Dominator 1066 Mhz and alot of space on the hard disks (6).
If anyone can help me can write here in forume or send me a meil to pasquale.dereviziis@tin.it.
Tnx a lot all, best regards
I also have a GTX 8800 and CUDA is not supported, will this chip be supported in the future as it is a CUDA chip ? so it seems a bit strange that we loyal GTX 8800 owners are left out !
I have a 8800 Ultra (also using the good old G80 core) and I can't use CUDA either, although every GPU in the 8000 series is officially CUDA-ready. I wonder why they didn't add support for the G80... Anyway, I hope they will support it soon.
I'm wondering if this is a limitation of TMPGenc or of Nvidia? Can't G80 cores normally support CUDA?
And here's on big suggestion to TMPGenc 4.0... Give us the option of removing CUDA from the deinterlacing filter and just using the CPU for deinterlacing. CUDA is helping some of my filters, but is slowing things way down on deinterlacing.
I ended up turning off CUDA support because it makes encodings take longer on my system! lol My specs: QX9650 quad at 3.83 ghz and XFX 8800 GTS-512 G92 (2xSLI) with driver 180.43. Oh well.
Also, most of the time with CUDA on I keep getting an "Invalid sample format. (error code 0x80048002)" at 99% done of an encoding (any source file type) when it goes to use the video fade-out filter at the end!
Something to do with Cuda 2.0 SDK. "Unfortunately Cuda 2.0 only supports Cards that have the compute capability of 1.1 and higher"
Computing capability 1.0 - it won't run
G80:
Geforce 8800 GTS - 320/640M - 96 shader units
GeForce 8800 GTX - 768M - 128 shader units
GeForce 8800 Ultra - 768M - 128 shader units
I made a 16:9 menu and changed the background from one within TMPGEnc's templates collection to an already properly 16:9 cropped JPEG.
When authored and sampled on software player and hardware player there's a thick white lone visible all the way across the top.
What is causing this? I can post a screenshot of it if need be. I also still have my project and all the files associated with it still here on my computer.
I am having a problem creating a DVD-Video. I use 4 video clips and when it gets to the 2nd video clip, I get an Invalid Sample Format error. But when I try to just create it using 2 video clips, including the one that had the error, it works fine.
Are the formats of the 4 videos different from each other? Try separating the clips into separate tracks and see if that works. For instance, put the 2 that work fine in one track and the other 2 in another track.
what should I purchase if I only need the MPEGII codec from TMPGENC?
Background:
- Input: MPEGII stream with separated MP2 stereo (surround) audio stream
- Output: same but smaller file size, and cropping and aspect ratio changed
- No cutting is required; I use Mpeg2Schnitt for cutting prior recoding
Somebody suggested me to look at TmpgEnc to achieve small size but good quality.
But I don't know what exact product I should buy (minimum cost).
I have Windows Vista 64-bit and it works fine on my computer. I've never seen the program using more than 200MB of memory ever, even with 4 threads runnings, so it won't use the >4GB of a 64-bit system...
I have both the new i7 = Quad Core MultiThreaded (4 core CPUs x 2 = virtual threaded CPUs) with 12GB of RAM running Vista 64 bit Ultimate ... and a Dual Quad Core Xeon (8 actual cores) with 12GB of RAM on 64 bit. (not kidding).
When rendering video, After Effects, or 3d animation, the more threads the better. 64bit also takes advantage of allocated RAM (unlike 32 bit where you're limited to 3 out of 4 GB) where the ceiling is the amount you have available.
I use XPress nearly every day. It runs decent on a 32 bit system, but would absolutely benefit SUBSTANTIALLY from a multi-threaded 64 bit OS. Mac's and most Linux are all onto the 64 bit system and benefiting from it. Yet, it's all the thousands of video maker "wannabe's", that are complaining about their piddley 2 - 4GB systems that are holding this program's (and others) potential back.
In the video industry, time is money and your hardware and programs have to keep up. Squeezing every bit of performance from your system and software gives you the flexibility to try different things, and get the job done on time.
XPress is really good software. Otherwise, I wouldn't use and rely on it every day. If TMPGEnc is listening ....Make the move to 64bit!!! ... and get this program updated to take advantage of it! Help cut my day back to 8 hours from 12.
I'm encoding a progressive DVD from a 23.976 project (DVX-100 24pA) and the very first menu asks for screen - I noticed that for both 4:3 and 16:9 there are two versions. Pixel (NTSC) and Display. I thought NTSC would be the one, but that looks stretched so I chose display and it seems right.
Anyone know what the two choices are about? THANKS.
Hi all,
I might have found a bug into the picture slideshow feature, which is created when one does the following :
- I insert a set of pictures, add chapters on some of them, setup a track menu, a cache is then built to speed up things.
- Then I go back to the slideshow edition and remove one picture (from the hdd and from the slideshow definition).
- When I return to the menu building, it may happen that the removed picture is still there on the track icons, and into the simulation clicking on it displays of course another picture, but the menu is still wrong.
I think this comes from the fact that the cache is not reset when the slideshow definition is updated. The workaround I found is to remove all chapter marks and manually reinsert them, then the cache is rebuilt and track menu becomes ok again.
Also, a suggestion : when inserting pictures into the slideshow, it is important to be able to specify the insertion ordering : date, name, etc. As it is now it's just the windows order which is almost random.
I was wondering if this version of DVD Author allows you to make a standard HD DVD with 1280 x 720 resolution; but not the DivX format. Most DVD players don't accept DivX so I'd like to stay away from that.
The file would be exported from Sony Vegas as either an Mpeg2 or an M2T most likely.
I think this software does not support .mts format, but if you want to create a standard DVD-videos you just need to choose the project format of DVD from the Start screen.
Also I think HD DVD is not possible to output since its an obsolete high-density optical disc format.
check about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_DVD
