When i purchased this progrm i thought i could convert my blu ray standard mpeg file from TMPGEnc express 4 and convert it into a bdav through mpeg editor 3 .But it does not seem to be the case,It keeps on telling me i can`t change to the bdav format,And i know it is the correct format.I also can not seem to open any m2ts files either,it keeps saying unable to open video part of the file and i have tried multiple files.Any help please.............

Why do you need the Editor 3 to convert your file?, xpress4 can do it, Editor 3 would be needed just for burn it to the BD.
There are 2 types of .m2ts, Blu-ray MPEG(.m2ts) and AVCHD (.m2ts), the mpeg is possible to import in Editor 3 but the AVCHD .m2ts not, check well which one you have and import the correct one.
Xpress4 can import AVCHD .m2ts files, i recommendo you to import them there and encode thsm to mpeg format for be able to then import them into Editor 3.

good luck

Hi,

The videos that I clip and convert in TMPG do not play in PowerPoint 2007 (I run PP 2007 on an XP system on a Dell Precision M90).

I can use older videos in PP 2007 that I know I did not use TMPG to create. This baffles me, so I assume it has to do with some codec or some output setting that I have selected in the TMPG conversion process that is causing this conflict.

I have tried .WMV and .MPegs and still can't get them to work. THey turn to white in PowerPoint, yet play fine in Windwows Media Player.

I have tried ajdusting my hardware acceleration as well.

I use TMPGenc 4.0 XPress. The videos are usually captured with Camtasia Studio 5. I have installed the Camstasia codec so I don't think that is the issue either.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I'm converting a bunch of .wmv files to DVD format using TMPGAuthor 3. What happens is I get the message: "Stream reading error (error code: 0x80068001)". The error message appears at different times whenever I try to run the output, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with reading any specific .wmv file. I'm converting everything over to 352x240 with VBR avg bitrate of 1500 kb/s and 8000 kb/s max. I am encoding 6 hours worth of video over 2 titles. There are 99 chapters in the first title and 85 chapters in the second title. What I've found on the net for this error (which wasn't much) is that it appears TMPGAuthor version 3 seems to have an issue with encoding multiple-title DVDs. If this is truly the case, then I find this to be unfortunate, as I've made lots of these kind of DVDs using the older version 1.5 with no issues. Unfortunately, if I want to go back to 1.5 I'll have to convert all the .wmv files to .mpg first (since 1.5 doesn't accept .wmv files), as well as reauthor the entire DVD.

I've also tried running this conversion on my laptop, but I get the same error message; once again in a random spot. This eliminates any potential hardware issues on my desktop PC. Disk space is also not a problem, but if that were the case then I'd be getting a "Stream [b]writing[/b] error" message. ;)

Has anybody else had this error? I'm using the latest version of TMPGAuthor 3 but I don't see anything in the release notes indicating that this bug was found and/or fixed.

Thanks,
Visor

Are you doing 2 pass VBR encoding? I have found that every time I do 2 pass VBR encoding of a .ASF file, I get a similar error to this (don't have the exact error now) but if I switch to 1 pass VBR, the same .ASF file encodes fine.

Ah-ha! I set it to 1-pass CBR and it worked! (I can't do 1-pass VBR because the automatic settings make you encode at 704x480, and I need 352x240.)

Thanks a bunch!

I used to be able to use TMPGEnc Xpress 4.0 to convert videos from my camera to WMV. Now they are all jittery. This is since the latest update to TMPGEnc. I can provide a short sample if you want.

I'm having the same problem. I own a Panasonic Lumix FX-520 digital camera that shoots progressive QT Motion JPEG 30fps video and never had a problem. Now I upgraded to a Panasonic Lumix LX-3 digital camera that shoots progressive QT Motion JPEG 24fps video, and all my videos are jerky when converted in TMPG 4.0 Xpress, no matter the frame rate I try to choose and settings! :(

Hi
I have used the following with some success

How to save First Pass Analysing Video for later use ?

I would like to run your software on a server that encodes video as they appear in a folder. Can I call your software via command line?

I don't think it's possible.

I have a MPEG1 file that can be played just fine, but I can't cut it after the 45 minute mark. For example, I can tell TMPEGEnc to make a new file that contains 00:05:00-00:06:00 or 00:15:00-00:19:00, but not a new file that contains 00:55:00-00:59:00 or 01:10:00-01:15:00 (I then get the aforementioned error, because it's a segment that is above 45:00).

Demuxing and re-muxing it made no difference (tried doing it in multiple programs), but I've finally managed to solve it via the exclusive "Repacketize" feature in M2-Edit Pro. Now it's editable in TMPGEnc. Why is that?

Is there a way to convert 1920x1080/60i mpeg-2(main@high profile) to mp4 avc - 24p without the jerky playback?


Thanks.

Yes, when you enter into the edit mode, go to filters, and make sure deinterlace is checked. Then you must set "24p (high-motion)" and "inverse pulldown" and then you can get rid of the jerky playback.

Hallo. I want editing files .TRP in HD format (not MPEG) that cames from my Clarke 5000 (Sat receiver with recording).
I convert TRP in M2TS and import it in TMPGENC XPRESS and I use tools for cut commercial spot.
At the end of the editing, I want save the new M2TS but without any format conversion, only a direct stream copy.
Is it possible ?
Thanks.

Exactly the same question, just cut HD MP4 satellite file and no conversion, how?

thanks

How do I open TMPGEncDVD Author 1.6 files with TMPGEncDVD Author 3 with DIVX Authoring? I keep getting a "not supported" message.

You can't. They aren't supported. Only 2.0 and above are supported.

TE4XP 4.5.2.255 German version.

I want to specify a GOP size of 15
I frames per GOP=1,
P-frames per GOP=5,
B-frames per GOP=2,(should be renamed B-frames per P-frame)
Max.frames per GOP=15,

I get out a stream with GOP size = 16.

No matter what I choose for max frames per GOP (like 1 through 30),
this value is not respected anymore.

I can have GOP size=13 with P-frames per GOP=4,
but not 15.

Was ok in earlier versions.

Instable after changing settings completely up and down.
Now testing with the same settings I=1 ;P=5 ;B=2 ;Max=15
and all I'm getting out is GOP size 13.(before it was 16.)

Furthermore: the outcoming GOP structure is not correctly represented anymore
by the IBBPBB...pattern window.

Only changes in I,P,B Open are reflected here, not Max.

But setting a max of 6 got me after encoding a GOP of 4
after checking in GSpot 2.70a.
So max setting does something, but not as expected.

Hi Guys, i just bought Tmpgen 4 express cuz i was tired of adobe media encoder.

I think there is a bug in TMPG 4.0 Xpress an rendering 24fps Progressive Video! :(

I'm having the same problem as you. I own a Panasonic Lumix FX-520 digital camera that shoots progressive QT Motion JPEG 30fps video and never had a problem.
