I've just loaded the trial version on a new Dell PC running Windows XP Home - Every time I try to aquire a licence it tells me that my serial number has been cancelled. I'm concerned about paying for the full version, if I can't get the trial to work at all!

I too ran into this problem. Are you installing the program to the default directory? When I tried to install TMPGEnc to a different directory, I received an error message when I tried to activate the program. But when I uninstalled it, and re-ran the installer without changing anything during the setup, it worked fine.

A friend of mine is also having the same problem as you. I don't know how to fix it.

Hi,

I keep getting the error


"an error occured during the filter chain reconstruction. Refer to the details below to find which part failed.
Write error occurred at address 014BA09D of module resize.vme with 000000



this happens when I try to open a SVCD MPG file I go to "set source and then to "add file" I select the MPG file and click on open and then it starts doing something and after about 15-30 mins (file is about 700MB) it comes back and gives me the message.

It never use to do it with other mpg svcd files that I downloaded a month ago.

I can play the video no problem with power dvd or windvd 6.0

I have alots of memory 256 MB 10 gigs of HD space and my drive is NTFS and the machine is a P4-3.0 Ghtz\n

any ideas on what is wrong ?>????

thanks for any input...

I'm getting the same exact error. The program worked flawlessly the first several times. nNow it does this every time.

If I start a project on laptop "A", using a removable firewire or USB

If I start a project on laptop "A", using a removable firewire or USB drive, then try to use laptop "B" to further edit the project, or encode the project, I get the following errors:

(jpg file contining error messages is located at:)

www.hecht-haus.net/TMPGEncError.jpg

The drive letter for the removable drive are the same on both laptops.

This is crazy! I am starting to believe that the project file created on one computer cannot be edited (or encoded) on another computer! Is this true? Both computers have licensed versions of the product.

Also, I have tried renaming the AVI file on the removable drive, in hopes that TEMPGEnc would ask me to find it, and then be happy, however, it then looses all the editing cut points.

I have also noticed that there is no option to save the the new TEMPGEnc file format in a text format. This was a really cool feature in the 2.x versions, and allowed us to do some pretty cool edits. Wish that was possible in the 3.x version.

Hello
I hope someone can help me. I usually encode video captured through a PCTV card using the frameserver feature in Vdub. That means AVI is captured using Vdub and Xvid, edited later in Vdub, frameserved to TMGEnc who then creates mpeg2 file. This process works great with 2.5, but the new 3.0 refuses to encode the file. The file gets recognized indeed but an error occurs when actual encoding starts. The 2.5 version I am using is a registerd one, while the 3.0 is the trial one.
TMPgenc support just told me they do not guarantee frameserver applications.
Has anybody gone through this problem already?

Thanks

This is the case, VFAPI plug-in are guaranted to function when they come from Pegasys, other are functional if they can...

RGB, can you tell me a little bit more please?
Thank you.

For the experts out there that have experienced both versions.

Is the new Xpress version better, i.e. in terms of quality and speed? I'm happy with 2.5 and short of cash.

XP3 is a bit faster (not much), and the B-Frame-Bug is corrected (this can be done in TMPGEnc 2.5x also).

If you are happy with 2.5x, stay at this version (like i do).

What is the hell is going on? It keeps saying 'There is no quoted number of Character-string '%.2f'

The issue you have is a space problem.. You'll find tha the destinbation disk is not large enough .. or, alternatively that your file system is FAT32 when you need for it to be BTFS before this fella will work... Jon

typo NTFS

I also have gotten this error, on a NTSF volume with plenty of room.

Hello,

This also happens if the app found there are no room enough for the encode cache. See the cache dsettings in the preferences panel.

RGB

He estado probando con la configuracion de la cache y no hay forma de quitar el error.

>What is the hell is going on? It keeps saying 'There is no quoted number of Character-string '%.2f'

im havin this problem too. where are the dcache settings in preferences. i went and couldnt find them. if someone knows how to fix the problem, please halep ,and if u can, give step by step instructions. thanks

Hi there

I had the same problem and solved it by changing the following option:

-> 'set output' / 'output streamtype' and then select 'ES (Video + Audio)' instead of 'System (Video + Audio)'

What ever that means - it worked for me. Can anybody explain that for me ...?

Cheers

Markus

is there any output template for output to ppc (320x240) available?

Sorry, no template for this one, but you can still make one yourself, if you know the kind of format you have to use.

I have heard some really good thngs about TMPGEnc, mainly concerning the quality of it's encoding.

However, I cannot verify this as the program has never once run without crashing. Not once. I can always get to the Encode phase, but it ALWAYS crashes during encoding, regardless of the original file size.

I'd really like to evaluate this program, but if it won't run, then there's no way I'll be buying it. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm running Windows XP Pro with SP1a, Athlon XP 2200+ CPU, 768 MB DDR333 RAM, 120GB Media Drive (NTFS, recently defragged) on Primary Slave. This machine was rebuilt two weeks ago using latest drives and firmware for everything.

Although the ads say the product is Intel and AMD freindly I think you may be experiencing platform problems. TMPGenc 2.5 is oriented towards Intel processors and I would imagine that 3.0 is built on the foundation of 2.5. I'm not cetain but the problem may actually be the fact that you are using AMD products. I am using Intel and have never had any problems with any version.

I have an AMD Duron Processor and I have never had problems with TMPGEnc.

I have a Intel Pentium 4 2800mhz fsb 800 and the Encode phase ALWAYS crashes during encoding. (tmpegEnc 2.59.47.155)

I just going to try the xpress version...

Try disabling the "Preview" option, I have always used AMD CPU's with great sucess, however I have come across certain files that were poorly encoded and have had to disable the "Preview" during encoding to avoid a crash. Try a different file and see if you have the same problem ex. MPEG, AVI ect... L8r G8r

OK my problem is this.... I'm tring to open an m2v file which was created with a Pinnacle Silver editing suite. I've download and installed the latest (or what i'm assuming is the latest, it's version 0.6.47) m2v vfapi plugin (which works fine in 2.5), fails to work. Can anyone please help or have any suggestions.

P.S.
Using a m2v file which was made within TMPGEnc Xpress 3 via the demultiplex work fine but we mainly deal with (and use) the m2v from the Silver and so we really need this feature.

Try changing your reader priorities under preferences. That has a good change of solving your problem.

I am looking for a guide to the preference settings in particular Pref Page 2 Multichannel Audio Decoder Settings. I want to preserve the AC-3 format my MPEG 2 file is encoded with, I do not know nor do their seem to be any guides on what boxes need to be turned on to accomplish this. I find that there is no online manual that I can find that details all the functions under preferences.

G.B.

i was wondering if there was one out there ?

No.

RGB

Why not ?

Licensing? ;)

...however there is a freeware proggy out there that will convert RM files to MPG files or AVI can't remember wich. The quality bites, but I guess you could re-enc with TMPGEnc at that point. If U R interested, I'll look up the proggy (hiding somewhere in my 260GB data junkyard)... L8r G8r

Use Boilsoft RM Converter to convert to avi files, then use TMPGENC
