Hello I would like to know if there's a 64 Bit version of TMPGEnd Video Mastering Works 5?
I would like to know this, to see if it solves a problem I had with TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress.
Details with TMPGENc Support Team below:
My Issue:
> I get the error code: 0X8007000E: insufficient storage space or memory
> even though I have 8 GB of RAM on my system.
TMPGEnc Support:
> This error comes up if there was really not enough memory for
> the application. There is a limit, one application can use at
> least 2GB memory.
> Memory problem happens most by AVCHD but it can be used very much
> too by HD movies.
> Normally .m2ts files are so heavy and so difficult to handle.
> Not enough memory means XPress 4 uses only 2 GB.
> This is because XPress 4 is a 32 bit application.
TMPGEnc VMW5 is a 32-bit application, but runs very well on my 8GB 64-bit Windows 7 system. My recommendation would be to download the trial and see if you can exceed the 4GB address space.
I'm sorry for you but the trial work very good when you buy it and use the retail version it's not the same music....
Some encoding who working in trial freeze in retail with the same original wtv file...no comment for the support...
Can someone give me specs on what would be good, quality HD video? I am transcoding loads of video, and have some clients wanting HD. Provide bitrate, size, etc..if possible. I have version 5
Can anybody give me some advice. I am attempting to encode Xvid avi files via Mastering Works but the file size remians constant at +-2500kbps, i have adjusted all the codec settings with regards to file size but theere is no change in the size, does anybody have some advice
However you might try using variable bit rate (VBR). Either way (CBR or VBR) use the settings page (click on the settings button next to the rate control mode pull down selection menu) to adjust your average bitrate down to where you want the file size to be. The settings are all under the "Format" tab located at the top of the page.
Is there a setting (or known bug) in 4.0.9.37 that affects the smoothness of motion in .mp4 videos?
I'm a PC tech and I'm trying to assist one of my customers, who is using your TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4. They're trying to put together a DVD from a compilation of NTSC .mp4 videos of motorcar racing. We're finding that cars (and other moving objects) often appear choppy on DVDs produced by TMPGEnc (they're perfectly smooth when the .mp4s are viewed). This is most noticeable with non-HD .mp4s (i.e., 480p and lower resolutions).
That is, instead of smoothly moving across the screen (either moving left-to-right across the screen or traveling away from the camera), cars appear to be pausing a number of times along their travel for fractions of a second, similar to the way 240p videos (versus HD videos) often appear on youtube.
We have tried adjusting both the Bitrate to its maximum setting of 8000 as well as the 'Picture Quality' setting for the Track to 100% (default I believe was 90%), but these had no effect.
you need to convert the MP4 video to separate audio and video files using authoring works 5 in the format necessary for either a DVD or blu ray. then smart rendor the combined files in authoring works 4 when you ouput the authored project.
There was an issue with authorong works 4 in regards to outputting the correct scan rates, I brought the issue up with the programmers and thought that issue was corrected in a previous version over a year ago.
Thanks Rick, but I have an update:
She said the buzzing began after she upgraded TMPTEnc to 4.0.9.37. I'm not sure what version she had before, but she said it had a 2009 copyright on the entry screen.
Yesterday, I installed a trial copy of TMPGEnc 4 onto my own 64-bit Vista machine and produced a DVD with the same set of .mp4 files that produced the buzzing DVD on my customer's machine. The DVD made on my machine came out flawless! No buzzing at all.
Then, thinking that her program must've been damaged, I uninstalled the existing TMPGEnc 4.0.9.37 from her 32-bit XP Pro sp3 PC (with all current updates) and, then, installed the same trial copy that worked on my 64-bit Vista PC.
Unfortunately, same problem: beginning about 15:30 into the DVD, there's a loud buzzing in the left channel. I tried changing the order of the .mp4 or using a different set of .mp4s, but nothing helped. The buzzing always begins in the left channel around the same time (~15 minutes into the DVD, regardless of the content) and then spreads to both channels about 5 minutes later and continues throughout the remainder of the disc. I checked the audio tracks of all the .mp4s and none are clipped or in any out of the ordinary.
Thinking the problem might be related to the .mp4 driver TMPGEnc now uses, I went into the Track Settings and overrode the default Audio settings, changing the default Stream Format from "Dolby Digital" to "MPEG-1 Audio Layer II" and burned another DVD. No buzzing!
So, to sum up: the buzzing occurs 15 minutes into the movie and only with DVDs made with "Dolby Digital" audio tracks on an XP Pro machine. No problem with the same configuration on a 64-bit Vista machine.
Is there a known incompatibility or bug with the .mp4 sound driver in recent versions of TMPGEnc?
Just to clarify, this comment from my previous post references my customer's XP Pro machine (not my 64-bit Vista machine):

Have you tried the latest version? 4.0.9.37 is from over a year ago. There have been about 4 revisions since then. Not sure if it will fix your problem but it's worth a shot.
TMPGEnc Master Works 5 v5.0.5.32
When I use an avisynth.avs file as an input source (S-Definition mpeg2 video) the display playback in the cut-edit page is very jerky, stop-and-go, making sync issues, or anything, impossible to view.
Playing the same avisynth.avs video file in TMPGEnc XPress 4.0 gives a smooth playback and I can easily see if the audio is in sync or not.
I'm having these problems since I upgraded my computer motherboard and video to Intel-DG45ID w/Q8400-Core2Quad 2.66GHz processor, 4GB memory and an ASUS ENGT240 NVIDIA (CUDA 2.63) PCI express video card (1GB DDR3 VRAM).
I have CUDA enabled (turning it off makes no difference).
My old motherboard HP-Intel-G915 Express chipset/P4 3.0GHz processor, with integrated video and audio did not have this problem.
Anyone else having this problem or have any ideas on how to fix it?
Did you keep the old installation and replace the hardware or did you reinstall the everything including the operating system? If you just replaced the hardware and kept the old install, make sure that the previous video, chipset and audio drivers are removed and then install the new ones, including any specific software the old hardware, example would be the old audio equalizer or motherboard monitoring software. If your new hardware is dramatically different than the old, such as a different processor manufacturer, then you should do a clean installation if possible (I know, a royal pain).
I see you did stay with Intel for the CPU but it may not see all the processor cores without reinstalling the operating system or at least a repair install and if it sees only one CPU core then it is running at 1/4 of your computing power.
I look in preferrences under CPU/GPU and see all the following enabled:
Enable MMX, Enable MMX-2, Enable SSE, Enable SSE2, Enable SSE3, Enable SSSE3,
Enable SSE4.
Also shows:
Physical CPu: 1
Core: 4
Logical CPU: 4
Other items are greyed out.
Any one know of any settings that need to be changed?
A few years ago I used to use TMPGEnc and TMPGEnc DVD Author to process mini DV tapes from my (elderly) JVC DV3000 camcorder. The procedure was capture tape content via DV (Firewire) port with Windows Movie maker, export from WMM as AVI, process AVI in TMPGEnc to get m2v and wav files, then process these files in TMPGEnc DVD Author. Always worked reliably, and still does on my XP PC that presently resides in my garage. But slower than hell.
Now have a fairly fast Win 7 64-bit PC with working firewire port and would like to use this machine. One problem is that Windows Live Movie Maker doesn’t export AVI (why MS left this out beats me). So considering buying TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 but having read the spec several times it appears that it won’t work with my old miniDV tape camera.
Am I right in this? If so I guess I’ll have to dust off my old PC and work in the garage. It’s not worth buying a new camera just for the one project.
Reads as though you can D/L and install an older version of Windows Movie Maker that runs on Win7 that might allow you to capture and export, if TMPGEnc and AW4 will not do it for you.
I believe that camera records to Mpeg4 format, and I know AW4 will import
Mpeg4 files, though I've never used it straight from a camcorder (I use Avid Liquid as my import and editor). Just try it straight from the camcorder.
Not sure how this works but if I use ‘Import from Device’ (JVC-3000) on Win Live Movie Maker and save, the resulting file is a good quality AVI, not a WMV as I expected.
Installed MM2.6 for Vista and it works OK on Win 7 except there isn't an 'Import from device' option. But since I now have the AVI generated from Live Movie Maker that's no problem. Thanks for help - much appreciated.
I have been using TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress for over a year to recode video files. I've had no problems with avi files until I upgraded my DivX to the DivX Plus Player 8 and the associated DivX Plus Codec Pak. Now TMPGEnc hangs when I try to load an avi file for processing. MPG, MOV and WMV files still work fine. The only way I can get the avi files to work (mostly XVID codecs) is to recode them with VirtualDub using the DivX 6.9.2 codec first. Then TMPGEnc will process them. I've tried uninstalling the DivX upgrade and reinstalling TMPGEnc but no joy. Is there an incompatibility between the latest DivX release and TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress? If so, how do I revert to an eaarlier version of DivX? I tried a system restore but did not have a restore point available before I upgraded DivX. Thanks
I have two mini anime series episodes in 720p that i want to put on blu-ray disk. What i want to do is have a menu with both series start button on the main menu and when clicked takes me to a menu with the choice of episodes. Can this be done and if so how.
I have decided to buy a brand new notebook and I am concerning if I can use my TMPEnc Authoring 4 actual user license into the new one computer. Will it work or I would have problems? Thanks in advance. Slfreire
I have been using Tmpgenc for years. I love it. Not long ago I switched to
Mozilla Firefox. Can't take explorer anymore. Not long after I started having system crashes when using Tmpgenc.
The system doesn't crash every time I use Tmpgenc, but when it does crash, I am
either opening a Tmpgenc editing session or one is ending.
It has gotten on my last nerve. Someone on a forum suggested it could be a flash
problem. I uninstalled flash and had the same problem.
Hi everybody !
Is it possible to buid a menu (in this case DVD)in order to have a legal warning clip or text displaying automatically and remaining independant of the menu itsef.
Up to now, I could obtain this with "play header track only" in the options, but the problem is that this warning clip is also displayed from the play all button in the top menu.I tried to play with the link editor with no result.
Does anyone have a solution?
Many thanks in advance for responses
Yes, add a "firstplay" track in the Source stage. Click on the downward arrow next to the "Add a track" button and select "Add a firstplay track". Any clip in your firstplay track will play once you insert the disc in the player; after that, it shouldn't play again.
