I've been using TMPGEnc XPress 4 for a while and the other day I noticed it was not working corretly. It loads up, verifies user and licenses, and then says initializing and hangs there forever. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled and samething. I tried using a eariler version and it runs, but I get runtime errors and other odd errors. My Vista system is update with all software updates and virus free. I'm at a lost to what could be causing it. Is there not a log that Xpress generates that might give me some clue?

Uninstalled quicktime and it works, thanks for the quick reply.

Why an AVI-DV video captured directly from DV tape the WMV encoding the audio is perfectly in sync!
And a DV-AVI video render from Adobe Premiere CS4 the WMV encoding the audio is out of sync?
I use 64bit and the W7 TMPGEnc Xpress 4.7.3.292!

Thank you.

I solved the problem of audio sync with windows media encoding (wmv) with TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress Version 4.7.3.292 on Windows 7 64-bit, I uninstalled it and installed the TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress Version 4.7.1.284, the problem of sync audio resolved.
Tks

Just wondering are there any known issues with video files being double/triple in size when using TAW4 (Bluray Bdmv)? When using "add a clip" a 8gb M2TS or TS AVCHD file becomes@ 16- 24gb in size.
System: Windows 7 64 bit, 8GGB DDR3, 1.5 TB HD, Asus Maximus 3 motherboard, EVGA GTS 250 video card.

Thanks

Forgot to mention in previous posting that my CPU is an Core I7 860

The source video files are most likely compressed with the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format. Since TAW4 can't output Blu-rays in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, it has to convert the files to MPEG-2 format which isn't as good at compressing the video data. Thus, in order to keep the same quality level of your source files, it has to increase the size of the outputted MPEG-2 file.

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compression can maintain the quality of a MPEG-2 file at roughly half the file size.

Thanks for the info tkrave

BTY,

I have a machine also that is running Windows XP64 and there are no issues with it making the video files larger as mentioned previously. It seems TAW4 only does this Windows 7. Also does the same thing with my other machine using vista 64.
Is this bug a known issue with the technical experts/ creators of TAW4?
Thanks

Disregard the last post, it also does it on my WindowsXP64 machine

4.7.3.292 on an XP machine will import (1920 x 1090P) VC-1 files but not on my Windows 7 machine TMPGEnc Xpress just freezes on import. Any ideas? A decoder?

Yeah, there's probably a codec or something on your XP machine that isn't on your Windows 7 machine.

Any idea on the appropriate codec or how I can figure out which one is being used?

Try a program like GSpot to figure out the codec.

With the 4:3 aspect ratio menu, you can have up to 32 thumbnails displayed on one page. But with 16:9, you can only have up o 15.

Is there a way to get more than 15 with 16:9?

Why would the maximum have decreased when the screen area increased?

Thank you,

Frank

It's in there. Not sure why you can't see it though.

I stand corrected. It appears it's limited to 15 thumbs for DVD's but not for Blu-rays. Weird. Good catch.

emailed support and apparently this is a limitation of the DVD format. For some reason, DVD 16:9 menus are limited to about 19 links, so that is why it they've limited it to 15 thumbnails (saving the remaining links for other buttons). DVD 4:3 menus have a higher link limit which is why they can have up to 32 thumbnails.

Now it's 2012, september.
I wonder if it is still 15 thumbnails max.
If it is 25 I have to buy this application.

I recently upgraded my computer to 64 Bit Win7 with a GTX260 video card. Since the upgrade I have not been able to get any Cuda encoding to function. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, different codecs, reinitializing, latest NVidia Drivers...nothing work. I have tested my machine with LoiLoScope and Cuda works, but it does not work in TmPG Express. Another side note is that Divx crashes the application (versions 5,6,and7).

Does anyone have any suggestions...I am truly bummed since I bought the machine for video editing.

I have included the event log entry for the Divx crash below.

4.7.3.292 is the latest, get it and see if that fixes the issues

Besides updating to the latest version of 4.0 XPress, you might also want to try reverting your CUDA driver to version 191.

I cant burn DivX Project to dvd?

You can burn DivX projects to DVD but if you have DivX menus, you'll only be able to see them if you play it on a DivX Ultra certified DVD player or on your computer with DivX Player software.

If you are having a technical issue with burning a DivX project to DVD then you'll have to be more specific.

1. Is there any limit to the size of the DivX Ultra file, I tried file with menus greater than 2GB was not working on my DVD Player but was working fine on DivX Player ( software ).

2. Is there a way to link two external divx files via the divx ultra menu so I may have two independent files and a separate file only for menu.

1. I'm not sure why it's not working on your DVD player...Do DivX Ultra files that are less than 2GB work fine? I think there was a 4GB limit due to the use of the avi format, but I'm not sure if that is still true.

2. When you make a DivX Ultra file, it just takes all the videos and menus and creates one big DivX file, so no, it's not possible to keep all the files separate. That's just how the format is unfortunately.

Hi everyone,

when i read my DVD on my DVD player it stops at the end of the first track without going to the top menu.

PAL mpeg II 4:3 with a firstrack & 4 Main Tracks
Individual BGM on top menu & Track
motion menu on Track 1

I had NO ERROR during the dvd creation process and everything seemed to be OK.
Furthermore any soft player (MAC or PC ) reads it without any problem.

Did anyone have to deal with the same problem ???
Is my DVD player to old ??? (it's not one of the latest generation device)

Hello,

I installed the Software a few weeks ago and it worked fine. Last Saturday I had to restore an image from August. I reinstalled the Software and now the Software doesn't start.

After a few seconds the message appears (Translated to English):

EAccessViolation at Modul TMPEnc4XP.exe / 62BCAE79
ReadError at Adress 62BCBE79 appears at 62BCBE79

I click on ok and get the message:

Runtime error 204 at 06632A64

I click on ok and get the message:

Runtime error 204 at 00402B1C

Than nothing happens.

I reinstalled the software without success.

What can I do?

With kind regards,
Uwe Sentis

try encoding onot a different hdd

The program didn't start...during startup of TMPEnc4 i get the error after 5 seconds...

i would say its either your master hard drive is dying, or you need to do a fresh install of your os

I am also getting this error. I also used all previous versions with no issue but reinstalled Windows 7 a couple of months ago. I installed the latest 4.7.3.292 and I'm also seeing the error. It's a problem with TMPGEnc Xpress, not our hardware and I haven't had any other programs crash on this machine, ever.

You can see the error here: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_JyLRK0gxVFI/SylIAd_4wEI/AAAAAAAAACE/I_LuJ-jT3SY/s800/Capture.JPG

After clicking ok to clear the error, I get several runtime 204 errors.

I tried 4.7.1.282 and I received the same crash, but version 4.6.3.268 works perfectly fine.

I uninstalled TMPGEnc, deleted the "\Documents and Settings\(user name)\My documents\TMPGEnc\TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress" folder and then uninstalled Quicktime at the request of a TMPGEnc Support Engineer. I then reinstalled the latest TMPGEnc 4.0 (4.7.292) and it opened successfully. I haven't tried to reinstall Quicktime and frankly, don't need it yet so I'm not sure if reinstalling it will bring the error back. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem was about to reinstall Vista because I couldn't figure it out. I uninstalled quicktime, and bam it works again. That is to weird...

And the worst part after it started up it gave me a message that to import quicktime files I need to install Quicktime. Go figure.

Thanks...this solved my problem also!

I just upgraded to the latest version, but in the last version, when I was finalizing the menu, when I wanted to move the play button down or up when it was unlocked, it would move in like spaces of three and always the same. In this version, it is able to just be dragged. I hope that makes sense. There has to be a setting for this I think.

There is a snap to grid option in the menu editor which is probably activated. It's one of the buttons in the lower right corner of the screen.

That worked..thank you!
