I get the following error. impossible to enable the overlay mode.Verify if another application is already using the overlay. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Are you using another video program at the same time? It could be a video player, another converter, etc. Overlay mode is basically when it uses your video card to display the video. You can turn it off and still view your video by right-clicking on the video display area and unchecking the "Overlay mode display" option.

Hi,

i've been looking for ages for such a program. Just a dedicated movie viewing software. Or better for playing musicvideo's. It's normal that there is software (every) that plays mp3 and mixes it for seamless playing but i never saw a easy gui for playing musicvids seamless. Just a bunch of thumbnails of the clips so you could put them in a row for playing seamless. Maybe an idea!

This one is a very nice try an it has so much potential but missing some good things.
When i create a tileshot i want to use it as thumbnail display for the vid.
Let people choose what they want. The picture of the vid karma created or the new created picture from the tileshotcreated. (under preferences tab)
Put the text of the file and the tag under the thumbnail so you could see the longer filenames also.
When a file doesn't play the scrolling system crashes and you have to go back to the thumbs. For excemple a .flv file playes in every software on my pc except on karma.
Give us an option that the thumbs are below and a playing window in the middle of the screen. It is a more native way of viewing then on the right side now.
There are enough samples of websites for viewing streaming vids on the internet but no standalone like yours to view your own vids.
Make a hide option for the information bar of a file. It's typical a programmers idea to put something there, users don't want to see all the info when they play a movie, just when they want to.
So with windows 7 and multitouch coming on, you can imagine how much potential this nifty program has, so please make more updates.
Thanks for listening:-)

Hello,

when will there be CUDA support for the GTS8800. As descibted on the Nvidia Drivers Page ther's support but running TMPGENC XPress with CUDA is telling me it does not CUDA on GTS8800 - and the App is telling it does not currently support the GTS8800 - so when?

Can anyone tell me what to do, please.

Thanks in advise

I have no problems using my 8800GTS 512MB with CUDA enabled.


I saw your thread at Nvidia forums too, I am wondering if its something about the first generation G80 cards that they lack something the G92's have and TMPGenc either doesn't support or is unaware of it.

I also have a 8800GTS, when I go into the Options, Preferences under CUDA 2.0 that page is completely grayed out so the application doesn't even see the video card. I'm now running Windows 7. Thoughts?

ok so that means that the card you have doesnt have cuda on it.

GTX/GTS 8800 cards with a G80 core are not compatible with TMPGEnc software even though those cards are CUDA enabled.

Hi there!

I am interesting for 64bit edition of TMPGEnc Xpress version. Are you planning create it for users?

why a 64bit Version for this app. it uses still all cores and as many memory as available from windows. 32bit apps are well supported on seven.

It would be useful since Xpress4 on German Win7 64bit refuses to install at all and stalls the complete system. That's not what I'd expect from an application like that. ALL other 32bit apps installed perfectly und run as expected....

so only on german it does not? - it is independed

When I want to write to a disc I get the following message
The writing drive is stopped. Can anybody help plse?

Have you been able to burn discs before with this program or is this your first time using it?

It's possible that your particular drive is incompatible or you may need to update the drivers.

Yes it worked perfectly, but I uninstalled nero, since then it did not want to write, In the meantime I uninstalled nero and even repaired my adope premier but stil get the same message.
Thanking you much apprecaite your willingness to help me

Possible solution:

Right-click on "My Computer" then go to Manage-->Services and Applications-->Services.

See if "B's Recorder GOLD" is started. If it is stopped or paused, then start it.

B's Recorder GOLD error 2: The system cannot find the file specified
I cannot start this process.
I have Win XP 64, Core i7 940, 12Gb Ram.

I have the similar question

I have i7 860, 4G RAM, WinXP 64-bit.
when I start the service "B's Recorder GOLD", it gives out "B's Recorder GOLD error 2: The system cannot find the file specified". Then I install Nero instead to write the file to DVD.

I think TMPG Authorworks does not support writing to disc in WinXP 64-bit,

Is anyone else having troubles importing large m2v files? Everything works fine for me when importing smaller files (less than 2 GB, or about 30 minutes), but when I try to import a larger file (about 2.3 GB, 37 minutes), the video is truncated after 1 second.

I can import longer video clips directly from a DVD -- I'm just having trouble importing bare MPEG-2 video clips.

Hello

In TMW4 I am trying to make a menu with the following structure:

1. A Top Menu with the Play a Tracks buttons
2. A track menu (page1) within all tracks

Each clip is in one track.

My request: When a access the track menu and I select a particular track, after play that track, I would like to have the option to return to the track menu page and of course select another track to play, instead to return to the Top Menu page.

How can I do that ?

Thanks in advance

Slfreire

I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you want.

In your Top Menu, do you just want one button to access the Track Menu and that's all that is on the page?

In your Track Menu, you want to list all of the tracks and be able to select which one you want to play?

Do you require menu pages where you can select the chapters of a track?

Regarding your request, what you are describing is exactly how the Top Menu works.

Not sure if it's exactly what you want, but this is what I would do:

-Make a custom menu.
-Create a title page in the Top Menu.
-Select your desired menu layout, buttons, background, etc.
-Either choose Top Menu only or Top and Track menu (if you want chapter menus).
-For the "Track playback end" option select "Display the top menu".

The title page becomes what you describe as your top menu.
The top menu becomes what you describe as your track menu.

Tkrave

Thank you for the help.

I followed exactly what you described in your post.

Then I got a Top Menu with a Title Menu and a Page 1. The page 1 contains the list of tracks, alright ?

Now, after run the Simulation Phase, what I got ?

I did get a Menu page with the title, the play all button and the track button, ok ?

When I selected the Track Button I will go to the page 1 which contains the list of tracks, the play and the return button.

After playing one selected track I would like to go to the page 1 instead of the title menu.

Your scheme do not seem to do that.

Thanks
Slfreire

You're right - it goes back to the title page. Sorry, I forgot that it would do that.
I'm afraid that's the closest you can get to what you want though.

Yes, i do miss the function of chosing to return to a or the menu if a track or clip has played. My old software used to have this!

How can we get this supported in the next release ASAP please!

I was wondering if windows 7 64bit support is on the table? I have been using movie style without a hitch all through RC and for the last month during win7 release, but recently it been getting errors on start up and I am having to reinstall the program.

thanks

The website says that behavior on 64-bit versions of Windows 7 is not guaranteed.

Hi, i'd like to know if TMPG Xpress is working fine on Windows 7.
I'm from Argentina and my native language is spanish, so thats the reason for my poor english i hope you could understand me.

It should work fine on Windows 7, though the website says that behavior is not guaranteed on 64-bit versions.

Any users out there who have tried this on Windows 7 64-bit? Does it work? I know the official word is unsure, so just wondering if anyone took a shot anyways?!

it works fine on seven! even on 64bit.

>it works fine on seven! even on 64bit.

...couldn't really confirm this. Didn't even install. Stalls system.
[Win7 64, German, DELL XPS720, C2D6850, 8GB RAM, nvidia GTX 275]

II'm using Win 7 64bit and I installed TmpgEnc Xpress, but it's not working with matroska files. Even doesn't in Win 7 32bit. So, it's not really compatible with 7.

>>it works fine on seven! even on 64bit.

to clarify - what version of TMPGENC XP are u all using? wich does't work?

Do you have Norton Internet Security or some other type of Anit-virus software? Try turning it off and disconnecting from the internet before you install.

>>Win7 64 bit does not work well with this encoder, it crash my system once it get to 80% of any jobs. It still need more patches or come out with a 64 bit edition of the software.

Can you give us some details on what you are converting? Input file type and size, output format and settings, your system specs, etc.

That goes for everyone with a problem; include as much info as possible!

Hi, i'd like to know if TMPG Enc is working fine on Windows 7.

I' using win 7 ultimate x64 and it seems to work fine.

I have tried using TMPGEnc Authoring 4 with Windows 7 64bit and it doesn't work for me. When I load a file to create a dvd the Clip-Edic wont play the video or audio. I can see the video when I start the output process and the video outputs fine, but still no audio. I've tried this with many different files and still the same result.

Thanks all of you.
I already have my TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 (4.0.4.24) working fine on Windows 7 x86.
LordZelo, you should try get this version and it may work. When i tried install the new version i couldn't but whit 4.0.4.24 i have no problem at all.
I'm argentine and my native language is spanish, thats the reason for my poor english but i think you can understand me.

Have you tried the latest version that was just released? It's version 4.0.7.32; just relased on Monday.

I have a video with two embedded subtitles, but none of them are of my interest. I want to import a file and use that as a subtitle.

How can I delete those subs? This is possible with other programs like this one, but I can't seem to find a way to do it with Authoring Works 4.

Thanks for any comment.
Wilfredo.

What kind of video file is it? You will need to use a separate program to remove the subtitles because you won't be able to do it with Authoring Works 4.

Videos are mostly MKV and they have 2 or 3 subs. I can use ConvertXtoDVD for that.

Although I think TMPGEAW4 should do it just the same.

Why can only put 2 sub,can add the 3rd and 4th sub??

It is only limited to 2 subtitle streams.
