Question - TE30 - How to use an External MP3 Encoder in No.53551
HyroProto  2007-09-14 11:32:08 ( ID:zweplrytrdj )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm using Tmpgenc Express 4.0.. (I cant post in the relavent forum because for some reason its not opening)

I want to configure an External MP3 Encoder (Lame ACE)for Tmpgenc Express 4.0. How do u do this. I hav looked in the 'Configuration' option but could not find a way to configure it..

Pls help

Theres no option to let you encode using external MP3 Encoder...The only app of TMPG that allows you to do this is TMPGEnc 2.5 Plus. try downloading their freeware to try it out.

That's not strictly true. I convert **everything** to Lame MP3 in XPress (both 3.0 and now 4.0).

Assuming one has the LAME ACM coded installed on one's system (found at http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-dshow-acm.php), then in XPress, it will show up as just "MPEG Layer-3" (as opposed to "Lame MP3" in all other software, e.g., VirtualDub).

The problem (well, I prefer this anyway, so it's not really problem for me) is that the option to choose the Audio encoder only becomes accessible if you encode to a generic AVI (Template: AVI file output), and then from there, you have to be sure to select and setup your video encoder (DivX 6.7 for me).



Question - TE40 - mp4 No.58163
Bolter  2007-09-13 08:16:03 ( ID:xslnwwpmrq2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have tried to import a file with an extension of .MP4 into xpress 4.0 to convert it to mpeg2 (Gspot tells me it's a H.264/MPEG-4 AVC file) but when I import it, it's jerky and freezes about 30 seconds in. The latest version of quicktime also does this, but it plays fine in cyberlink powerdvd and convertXtodvd converts it fine. I have the latest ffdshow installed, is there a way to change what codec xpress 4.0 wants to use for this file (it wants to use quicktime, but I want to try ffdshow)

Any help will be appreciated

nTekka  2007-09-13 18:57:26 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

What is your PC spec? If your file is HD then your PC + TXP4 might not be able to keep up so it gets jerky or pauses for a long time if you jump the slider.

With that aside, how does the output MPEG-2 file look? is it normal?

You could try going into Option > Preferences > File Input > disable Quicktime file reader and MPEG file reader then enable DirectShow if you want to use external decoder.


Geowharton  2008-04-13 23:29:10 ( ID:7rkyoga0jww )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Go to Options...Preferences...Input/output format list...File input plugin and turn off the Quicktime file reader plugin. It's buggy. Be sure that your Direct show file reader is checked. When you are in source stage and add file, you will need to open the "Files of Type" dropdown menu and click on All Files (*.*). Ffdshow will work here. You may need Haali Media splitter for the MPG4. I have Ffdshow and Haali Media splitter loaded and this works.

I don't know if 4.0 Express is coded for 4 processors. That could be the problem, but someone smarter than myself would have to answer that one. See the previous forum post that I started on getting 4.0 Express to use both of the cores on my E6750 dual core processor. Through some trial and error I was able to get 4.0 Express to use both of the cores on my dual core processor. Support for dual or quad core in 4.0 Express might be hardware or software limited depending on your motherboard and processor or what type of file input and output you are trying to do.


nTekka  2007-09-12 19:33:53 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

How much do you want TXP4 to use? 50% I think is more than enough for a Quad core, if you want it to use 100% then that may fry your chip in a couple hours of continuous usage. A majority of software are optimized and sometimes managed by windows not to use 100%.


tzone  2008-04-12 07:02:03 ( ID:ojexgw2upxw )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

nTekka - That has to be the stupidest comment that I've ever seen and is 100% completely untrue. Running your CPU at 100% utilization does NOT (and never has) decreased the lifetime.

Next time, please don't answer questions that you're not qualified to answer.

I have the same problem with my quad cpu Opteron system. I can't ever get more than 50 to 60% CPU utilization accross 4 single core cpus. I've tried setting priority to high for the process and eliminating page file usage and its the same. I've installed all the cpu and chipset updates from AMD as well. Maybe TMPGENC is just not optimized for multicpu systems?

Every disc I burn with TMPGEnc DVD Author fails to work on dvd players on osx and xp. what can I do?????


nTekka  2007-09-10 22:58:17 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Make sure you actually burned the content onto your disc first. Look at it with your eyes first then pop it into your DVD drive on a PC and browse it with Windows Explorer. If you can't see anything here then it wasn't burned properly.

Try viewing the output DVD folder before you burn to see if it was created and can play back. Then try another burning software to burn like Nero or Roxio.

Lastly, this may sounds stupid and obvious so I left it last, make sure you have a proper DVD playback software on your PC or Mac OSX. Windows XP doesnt come with one built-in so you will need a 3rd party software.



Question - TME1 - M2V file not recognised No.54453
DS  2007-09-09 17:07:18 ( ID:bgnghkw0f/o )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have problems to multiplex the video and audio files together into a MPG file. Whenever I use TMPGEnc I get the warning that the selected M2V file can not be opened or is unsupported.
No problems with the corresponding M2A file.


nTekka  2007-09-18 22:03:57 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Where did you get the M2V file from? it might not be an acceptable color code. See if you can import this file before you multiplex, try to get MPEG Editor 2 to do a quick re-encode with smart rendering.



Question - TE40 - dual core support? No.58151
fuzz54  2007-09-09 06:16:10 ( ID:tzejcplih4h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

For some reason I thought that 4.0 Express could utilize both cores of a dual core CPU system while encoding. I'm encoding VOB files to MP4 and it only uses one core of the CPU. I have all of the usual SSE and Core2Duo / Extreme options checked under CPU options. I'm just wondering if 4.0 Express is written to use both cores or not.


fuzz54  2007-09-10 03:16:07 ( ID:tzejcplih4h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Changing the virtual memory size for Windows to zero seems to have unlocked 4.0 Express to use some of the second core on my processor. Encodes are going about %30 faster now and 4.0 Express is consistently using all of my first processor and half of my second processor. Interesting. Swapping data between RAM and virtual memory on the hard drive must have been hamstringing 4.0 Express for some reason. FYI: I have 3 GB of RAM in my system.


nTekka  2007-09-10 22:50:09 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thx for the info, I wonder if this only affects MP4 output? I have had similar issue with WMV output where only 1 core was being utilize. I will try your method and hope it boosts my performance. 4 GB Dual channel RAM on my Win XP.


fuzz54  2007-09-12 11:46:43 ( ID:tzejcplih4h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

For some reason 4.0 Express doesn't always utilize both cores when I start the encode. If this happens I then save the project file, close the program, open it back up and restart the encode and it usually uses both cores. Weird. I think that every time I have had it use both cores I have had the project file saved before I encode. But it is so much faster and worth a few seconds of opening and closing to take an hour off of a 4 hour encode by getting both cores into use.


Emulgator  2007-09-12 14:53:03 ( ID:a.keehcdail )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Strange.
Here since version 4.3.1.222 everything is fine.

Both cores used, 100% each on 1st pass
of straight transcoding from WMV to MPEG2,
95-98% each on 2nd pass.

Of course lower when I export from Non Linear Editor
with various filters applied (EditStudioPro 5.0.1),
because this NLE has not yet been optimised for dual-core CPUs.

In TE4XP give 9000MB temporary space to use results from 1st pass.
The second pass is then definitely faster than the first one.

The previous version also used both cores of my T7600G OC@3.16GHz,
but each only up to 70& while encoding from DV-AVI to MPEG2.
So definitely something seems to have improved.


fuzz54  2007-09-13 12:25:56 ( ID:tzejcplih4h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Emulgator, Since you are encoding to MPEG2 I'm guessing you'd get better use of both cores than for an MP4 encode. MP4 is fairly new technology, but programmers have had much more time to get MPEG2 figured out and optimized. That being said, I'm glad to hear that MPEG2 uses both cores at almost %100 with no problem. After I get done backing up my movies to MP4 I might transcode them to MPEG2 for better stability with media servers and video players that like slightly older file formats.



Question - TE40 - Converting MKT to WMV .....framerate problem No.58148
HiDefDude  2007-09-08 14:54:11 ( ID:.0hmiv600qo )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm having a framerate issue when converting 1280x720 MKV files to 1280x720 WMV. The MKV file is 23.976 fps, and when I convert it to an MKV at the same framerate, the playback seems slightly jerky. I've tried changing the de-interlacing settings, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?


nTekka  2007-09-12 19:36:11 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Might want to check your MKV decoder, see if theres any settings for playback. Is there any jerkiness when you preview it before encoding? It also might need a 3:2 pulldown to be 29.97fps.


Hal Jordan  2008-06-03 08:59:10 ( ID:8ryaptdijel )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Just chane the frames to 29.97 on the first page and then output it as a progressive file. Jerkiness goes away...



Question - TE40 - Crashing after upgrade when changing encode settings No.58147
PatrickM  2007-09-06 13:07:29 ( ID:wkc50w/wrrf )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction to help with a newly-developed problem I am having with TMPGExp 4.0. I had it working perfectly on my existing system (P4 2.53, 512mb crucial RAM, Gigabyte mobo) for h.264 encoding, frameserving an HD file from PPro CS3. I'm using XP Pro 64 bit.

But I've since upgraded the CPU to Q6600, mobo to P5K and RAM to 2gb Samsung DDR-800. All programs work ok after the upgrade, and TMPGEnc does also up to a point - when I get to the Format window, and choose "settings" to change/modify the encoding settings, it always crashes. I thought at first I had not installed all codecs needed on the new machine, but they are all there. Strange thing I found is that it WILL take my encoding presets saved before (eg h.264, high quality 1280x720), but still, every time I try to go into 'settings' to change anything about encoding, it crashes.

It only does this on the "quictime movie" encoding type, if I go to encode MPEG-2 for example, that works ok and I can change the parameters witout any problems. This is a strange one, anybody have any ideas? I don't think it's the new RAM as I can change other settings ok.

Thanks,
Patrick

You might want to check your external codec, Quicktime or other, might be corrupted. Close down any iTunes, iPod, Quicktime, or other quicktime h.264 related services/processes. Do you have XviD(H.264) installed?

Re-install Quicktime to see if that will help, most likely it is some other software that is causing TXP4 to crash.

Have both TMPGEnc 4.0, and DVD Author and I can't figure out a way to simply cut commercials out of a recorded TV show without having to recode the whole MPEG2 stream. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right now TXP4 needs to re-encode everything even if you don't edit anything. If you want to do edits without re-encoding or minimal encode then try their TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 2. Its the only encoding software that uses their smart rendering. Hopefully the next Xpress version will implement this.

smoove  2007-09-03 18:32:05 ( ID:bjsdxynmbpr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

so im trying to encode my file to xvid in tmpgenc, only problem is im not seeing the xvid codec in the dropdown when i got to file output to file avi
anyone ever had this error and knows how to fix it?


nTekka  2007-09-05 00:05:21 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Verify that you have properly installed Xvid on your system first. Go into control panel > sound and audio devices > Hardware tab > select video codec and hit properties > then select properties tab. If you did everything correctly then Xvid codec should appear here.

Restart TXP4 then under format select AVI file output and hopefully its on the list.


nTekka  2007-09-05 00:08:20 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Oops, I did it again, thinking about TXP4...but i'm under TMPGEnc 2.5 thread.

I mean restart TMPGenc 2.5 > File > Output to file > AVI > for video section see if you can locate Xvid.
