For those with discrete video cards on their machine and Intel Sandy Bridge by now you must have noticed that you can not access Hardware encoding for Intel Media SDK. I am not going to architectural explantation but a solution is coming up in near future:

It looks like you would still need an integrated video out on the motherboard since all video is piped through the integrated GPU. See the diagram on this page:

I'm sorry for you....
I'm using TMPGEnc 5 with a core i7 2600k and Lucid Virtu and a Geforce 560Ti but TMPGEnc couldn't use intel Media SDK Hardware...i could only use it in software. For the assistance

Please let us know if your graphic device is enabled on-board ?
You must connect display cable to on-board graphic device.

Please update your graphic card drivers.
.
The monitor and graphic card need to be connected by all means,
in other words Intel media SDK has to be connected to monitor.
That is the meaning of such function.

Please check about this:
*The Intel Media SDK hardware mode requires a CPU using the GPU with
the Sandy Bridge core.
*The use the Intel Media SDK requires the MPEG decoder and Video
encoder settings and a compatible Intel CPU.

So you're outputting from the integrated video and it still won't use hardware encoding?

If you go to Options-->Preferences-->Input/output format list, what does it say for Intel Media SDK (hardware)? Mine has "-" for both input and output which means "present but not usable".

I have no chance of changing that since I do not have an integrated video output on my motherboard, but if you are doing that and still not able to use hardware encoding, then that is interesting.

In Preference for the intel SDK HArdware I have Present but unusobable

>In Preference for the intel SDK HArdware I have Present but unusobable
I 'm using encoding with x264 or CUDA I don't use Intel SDK Softwre It's too slow..

I have forget.. I'm using a motherbord ASUS Maximus GENE-Z with Lucid Virtu a Intel Core i7 2600k "Sandy Bridge" and a Graphic Card Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti.
When I'm making a link in Lucid Virtu Software with TMPGEnc I have a lot of error message in TMPGEnc...

Is it possible to create VOB files for direct DVD burning from TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5?
I want to frameserve 1080i video from Premiere Pro CS5 timeline into TMPGEnc VMW5 and output VOB files into a VIDEO_TS folder (or .iso file) that I can burn directly to DVD without having to go to another program to mux the .m2v and .ac3 files into VOB files.
Thanks

No, it can only output as DVD-compliant MPEG-2 in either elementary or system streams.

VOB File limitr of size.

MPEG2 No Limitr

U can use MPEG2 create to DVD [VOB]

Automatic Expand VOB size to DVD.

WORK.

Question:

I am trying to convert a video deposition from VOB files to MPEG-2.

If one clip uploads into a “New Project”, I can't figure out how to upload additional clips.

Also, am getting Error Message: ''Unsupported File. Error: 0x80048003''.

Help! Thank you.

Last updated in 2004? Does this still work. Haven't there been a multitude of changes in video and computer technologies in the last 7 years? Does this run on Windows 7 64 bit computers?

It still works and they keep it around because I presume people still use it. Plus it's free. I haven't tried it on Windows 7 64-bit yet but it might work.

Check out TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 for their latest video encoding software. It was released this year.

There are quite a few converters around that just give you a packaged, preset output. They are to me the wonderbread of the converter world, assuming the user is indifferent enough always to be satisfied with whatever the output happens to be. TMPGEnc allows all sorts of parameters to be adjusted during conversion, for example sound levels, forcing a sound track when the original doesn't have one (makes DVD assembly easier), color saturation, hue, gamma, cropping, source clipping, changing these for each file in a batch conversion, and so forth. I have had a hard time finding anything else that can do all of that as easily.

There are annoying characteristics as well, mostly interface annoyances (always defaulting to a lame list of extensions that are about irrelevant in the open file dialog, being extremely balky when trying to get it to use ffdshow, other things. But if you can get everything working it does well.

Most any of these converters are making use of system level codecs and essentially supplying an interface for them. The presumption that interface details need updating every few years (assuming the initial ones are well thought out) just makes you fodder for some operating system providers' need to sell you new crap every few years, no matter how lame it might be. The media "technologies" are contained in the codecs that are external to the converter and I suspect have much more to do with getting around or establishing this or that patent claim or with forcing you to use a particular provider's product than with improvements in quality. Compression is an old and well developed technology that changes rather slowly at this point. Don't let yourself be a dupe for the advertising department drones.

I am recently getting an error message " Not enough storage available to complete this operation - 0x8007000E"

This occurs at around the same point of the encoding process (in my case around the 13% mark). The application then quits when I select OK.

Is this a software problem or a problem with my computer of the source file?

I have bought a new Imac with Core i7 sandy bridge which has AMD 6970M graphic processor. I have not been able to detect or activate Intel SDK Hardware encoding for H.264.

At this point I am not clear if only grahic chips produced by Intel can utilize this feature.

According to intel forums:
The hardware implementation is installed by the graphics driver and should be under \program files\Common\Intel\MediaSDK\s1\2.0 to ensure the hardware implementation libraries are on your system . libmfxhw32-s1.dll is the Sandy Bridge hardware implementation library.

Also even if the above dll is present the following can prevent the dll from being accessed:

Yes, libmfxhw32-s1.dll is the Sandy Bridge hardware implementation library. If the file is present and can’t be loaded, then there could be a few things that can be going on.

- There’s a discrete card in your system that’s set as the primary video card. This will turn off QSV, and prevent the HW DLL from loading

- The registry values are incorrect which prevents the MSDK dispatcher from finding libmfxhw32-s1.dll

Well I dont event have libmfxhw32-s1.dll

I would assume that only Intel graphics chips can use Quick Sync. How does an i7 have an AMD graphics processor anyway?

I myself cannot use the Intel SDK hardware encoder because I only have discrete graphics on my machine. Kind of annoying that I'd have to buy a new motherboard just to try this thing out.

Just took a look at the imac specs. I see what you're talking about now with the i7 and AMD processors. I think you won't be able to use Intel Hardware encoder since the iMac is using the AMD/Radeon processor to display video; it would need to use the i7's GPU.

Well I have found the solution which is not yet available. This should work for anyone with discrete video card. I am going to post this on its own thread

I have the same problem with Virtu and a geforce 560 Ti

Hi
Hope someone can help here with this error 'There is no usable writing drive installed'
I have a SATA Atapi iHAS124 B DVD Recorder that works fine with other DVD writing S/W.

Hi

Got the same problem with an "Optiarc DVD Writer - AD-7240S" which I believe
is a Sony drive and I have read that Tmpgenc has issues with Sony drives.

Glad I found this out using the trial version as I would be very unhappy
to have purchased the full package and found it could not write to DVD.

I tried installing with the Anti-Viruse disabled but that didn't fix the
problem.

Oh well, just have to use another package - Shame, I like Tmpgenc tools.

(I wonder if Tmpgenc people read these posts?)

Hi,

I am joining various avi files into one single file.

I would like to insert chapter markers to jump directly to the different chapters.

¿is this possible with Mastering Works 5?

I have been trying with keyframes, but these are not recognised afterwards by my multimedia player.

Thanks.

It depends on your output format. Certain output formats have the option to convert the keyframes into chapters. MKV and MPEG for mobile device formats have this option in the "Other" tab. There might be other formats that have this option, but I haven't checked them all.

Lately the editor stopped working issueng an error" Read Error occured at Adress xxxxxx of module UtilsPresentation.vme.

Files that I used to edit before can't be edited... I can still output to files.

I am using Windows 7 Ulitimate 64 bit (service pack 1).

Any help on the issue???

My original video file that I used for my most recent project is an AVI file with 3 audio tracks(Italian,English and German).
I got the authoring for it done so it was all ready to burn to a DVDR,but when I played it back,the only audio track is Italian.
What..??
I am going to have to do it all over now,but how can I be sure that this time,the English audio is included?

Is the issue that the source matrerial has Italian as the default audio track?

Are you authoring a DVD with three user-selectable audio tracks, or do you intend to produce a DVD with on audio track only.

Tell us more about how youauthored the DVD and prepared the sosruce material.

Did you enable the Multi-audio option of the Clip audio properties / Track settings.

I want to produce a DVD with one audio track only;English.
The AVI has 3 audio tracks
1.italian
2.english
3.german

In the clip settings, can you select the English audio track?

Can I edit an FLV video in this Program?

No, it is for MPEG video only. Maybe if it's an MPEG in an FLV container, but other than that, no.

Hi. I'm trying to convert an avi to mpeg using mastering works but it won;t recognise the audio, which is a channel ac-3 stream. I presume the format simply isn't supported so i'm wondering is there a workaround or something i can do to change the audio so MW will recognise it. Thanks.

5.1 AC-3 is supported by TVMW5 so it might be something else. Can you post the details of the file? Use MediaInfo and post the info.

TVMW5 doesn't read the audio at all, doesn't even recognise it when i importthe video file.

That's DTS, not AC-3. DTS is not supported.

AC-3 (Dolby Digital) is supported.

Hello,

I

- started i new project with a clip
- then edited it
- then i used some filters
- then clicked on "timline" an choosed my clip for the new timeline
- now i'm in the clip-timeline-editing-mode
- then i added some layer with mosaics
- then i switched to 'format' and choosed my format

-> finally switched to 'encode' and 'start'

Problem: every layer with the mosaics and every change in the timeline-editing-mode were ignored

Is there is hidden 'apply to movie'-button or something.

What's the secret?

thx in advance
OPPS

There is no apply button; if it's in the timeline and the layers are active, they should be encoded.

If you can post a screenshot of your timeline, that would help me get a better idea of what's going on with your timeline.

Hmm...everything looks OK to me.

When you're in the Encode stage, try the preview and see if the mosaics and edits show up correctly.

Also, what version of TVMW5 are you using? What is your output format and settings?

> When you're in the Encode stage, try the preview and see if the mosaics and edits show up correctly.

No, no mosaics or anything else that i edited was shown. The preview shows the result as it is at the end.

> what version of TVMW5 are you using?

5.0.6.38

> What is your output format and settings?

DVD standard MPEG file -- nothing special or changed here so far.

Still, within the Edit stage the mosaics are there the entire clip, the preview within the Encode stage shows no mosaics at all.

Strange.

I haven't been able to reproduce this; I can always see the edits and mosaics in the preview and the output is always correct.

Try to start a new project and this time, start in Timeline mode.

Also, is this a legit version of the software or a crack? In the past, there have been bugs and issues that only occur in cracked versions.

> Also, is this a legit version of the software or a crack? In the past, there have been bugs and issues that only occur in cracked versions.

Ah, ok. This is a cracked version. I bought TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress and other Software from Pegasys in the past -- just wanted to know if it's worth it to buy or not.

Still not convinced from this new version.

Thanks anyway

Well I don't think a cracked version will give you an accurate view of the product. Try the trial version; I'm pretty sure you won't have the same issue.
