Hi,

I used to run TXP3.0 on a single user XP laptop (all fine btw.), uninstalled it and reinstalled it on a 2003 server (Remote Admin mode, no application server) and like to move the installation to the 2003 because this one is always on, can run long term jobs over night. I have not been able to install the license information to my Windows user profile although I granted "change" rights to that user for the application- & subfolders. In the "Administrator"'s profile: no problem. But in my "normal" (unprivileged) user profile the licensing is failing, doesn't accept my key (Validation failed) and seems to be unable to use the same license issued in the admin's profile. To be clear: I first tried to install the license in the normal user profile to no avail. Then I checked with Administrator logon: works. So the key must be fine, but...? I shortly checked the registry in both user profiles and have not been able to find some license info there neither any license files in the application folder. where can I grant the neccessary rights to my user so that he can install my license? No need to use it from the Admin profile; I'd like to "move" the license somehow.

Thanks!

On most programs when I double click their output files... the program opens up...

With TMPGEnc DVD Author... I can only open it from within the program... and the file better not have been moved from the original folder!

Is there any way you can "fix" it so that you can click the tda file and open the project? Thus be able to: 1) move the file from the folder originally used? or 2) rename the folder? or 3) rename the file?

This would be very helpful for archiving purposes.

I have D1 sized avi’s (720 X 486) that have closed captioning on line 21. I would like to make a DVD that also has the closed captioning in it. But when I make my M-PEG 2 (720 X 480) it moves the location of where line 21 is and thus the closed captioning no longer works. How do you keep line 21 where it is and just crop the bottom of the frame in the encoded Video……. Yes I have tried the crop feature and cropping the bottom 6 lines and it still moves the closed captioning info.

Any Ideas? Thanks

This error box comes up when trying to output in Windows Media Video format.

I'm having this same problem. Xvids seem to work fine, but Divx 5 gives me this error.

Have you had any luck solving it?

Turns out that if I change the Framerate setting from 23.9 progressive to 29.97 progressive, the error goes away and the encode happens. Yay!

TmpgEnc 4 Xpress no longer supports 24bit 48k wav source audio, try it yourself, it worked perfect in Tmpg 3 Xpress

24bit source clip
videoproductions.com.au/T4/24bit.wav (1.6mb)

and the bad result using TmpgEnc 4 Xpress
videoproductions.com.au/T4/T4.ac3

and the perfect result using TmpgEnc 3 Xpress
videoproductions.com.au/T4/T3.ac3

I am in the broadcast industry and 24bit audio is all I use for source

for now, I am back to using TmpgEnc 3 Xpress until a fix becomes available

Hi,

I had a copy of TMPGEnc Xpress 3 & 4, but it got deleted by mistake. And i need to work on it. The company's lines are always busy. Please can u send me a copy of both version 3 & 4 from ur computer.

I would greatly appreciate ur responce.

Email me at: intellogo@gmail.com

sorry but I can't see how that fixes the 24bit audio issue, would you care to explain in greater detail?

I just downloaded the latest version and 24bit source audio is still not working, so I will continue to use TmpgEnc 3 as this works fine with 24bit source audio

Is there a way to turn off the re-encode of dolby audio tracks that are not 2.0? XPress3 leaves them alone, why doesn't 4?

when trying to use the help file, I get the following error

File does not begin with '%PDF-'

Unfortunately, the help file cannot be opened with old versions of Acrobat reader. Please install the latest version.
Thank you for your understanding.

thanks, that fixed it

I was using Acrobat 7.0.0 (not old really)

Now I upgraded to 7.0.8 (it works)

I have also a problem with not being able to access the helpfile. This is an Internet Explorer script error in Line 81(char 8) Code: 0 and the URL is: "mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Pegasys%20Inc\TMPGEnc%204.0%20XPress\HELP\TMPGEnc4XPress.en.chm::/00000.html". All I see is an empty chm TMPGEnc XPress Help window.

WHat is wrong please.

your Acrobat Reader is old or has an incorrect setting (incorrect for Tmpeg use)

go to preferences, internet, and make sure the very top option is ticked

Yep, I didn't have Adobe Reader at all. I prefer to use Foxit Reader which is a full PDF reader in 1.5MB of code, none of this Adobe bloatware.

Unfortunately it looks like your application is BROKEN on my PC. Pity you don't state that Adobe Reader is a SYSTEM REQUIREMENT in the specifications for running it.

Nigel

you can still use the foxit reader if you access the pdf directly through windows explorer, or create a desktop shortcut to the pdf

I too have a problem with the help file. I use the latest version of Adobe Reader. I have enabled display PDF in browser. I get the following MS:

Line: 81
Char: 8
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

The demo version of TME2 has a broken help file. When invoking help, Acrobat reader is invoked (!) and only a few help items are shown - the remaining ones stay blank. Only the "News Center" and the license validation sections work - this was tested on two very different machines. Please fix - TDA2 also had a broken help file in its first release.

I have the full version, and get an "Internet Explorer Script Error" when opening the help (.chm) file. "Object doesn't support this property or method". I don't have Adobe Acrobat installed. I use a cut down version of it called "Foxit reader". Not sure if this is the problem, but I have no plans to install the bloated adobe reader.

.chm is windows help file, and it won't open. I get that error and a blank window.

You can fix that problem by updating your Adobe Acrobat to the latest version.

That will fix it...and you do have to use Acrobat to view the Help file.

I was using TMPGenc 3.0 and I have opened QuickTime movies several times. I had to reformat my HD and re-installed the program, but now it doesn't recognize QuickTime movies anymore.
I have the QTReader.vcf file inside the program folder.
What's the workaround here?

I'm not positive about this but did you re-install QuickTime? This may be the problem. If you install the full version of Quicktime you can convert the video to an AVI file and then encode it to MPG using TMPGEnc.

Hi, I'm having some trouble getting TmpgEnc to encode MPEG-1 files properly with the MVBR setting. I have read several detailed descriptions about the program settings which tell me that with MVBR selected, you can go to the "GOP Structure" tab and use the "Force Picture Type Setting" to set different bitrates for various scenes in the movie. In my particular video that I want to encode, there are several high-speed shots, a few dark shot with a lot of flashing lights, a few moving camera shots, and the rest of the shots are just straight forward normal ones. Obviously, I'd like to encode the flashy, fast moving ones at a higher bitrate, and have the standard shots encode at a lower bitrate. Now, I've marked all the frames at the beginning of the segments that I want encoded at different bitrates. And I have assigned a specific bitrate to each segment. I clicked OK to close that window and made sure that the "Detect Scene Change" box is unchecked.

I then opened the MVBR settings under the Video/Rate Control Mode section. I have filled in the minimum and maximum bitrate settings to cover both the highest and lowest settings according to what I used on the "Force Picture Type Settings" frames.

However, no matter what bitrate settings I assign, there is always a lot of block noise and ugly blurring in the MPEG-1 encoded video. For example, if I set one segment of video to encode at 1150kbps and the next segment to encode at 2500kbps, then the 2500kbps shot looks chunky and ugly upon playback. In fact, it looks no different than the 1150kbps segment. Yet, if I encode the entire video at a CBR of 2500kbps, then it runs smoothly with no problems.

It seems as if TmpgEnc is not changing the bitrate when I have asked it to. Either that, or some other setting is over-riding it from working properly. Anybody got any clues about what could be wrong here and have any advice on how to get it working? Thanks!

Hi,

I'm trying to convert an AVI(has audio) to MPG and only 5 secs of the audio is loaded, the rest is muted. Why is that? I've tried with some other programs and it's work, but I only want to encode it with TMPGEnc XPress because of its quality and compatibility with my actual DVD authoring...

Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks.
