こんにちは。韓国のメガスタディ（株）のリュイン国です。
現在、お客様のTMPGEnc 4.0 XpressをTEST中です
Panasonic HPX - 150カメラPanasonic 16GB SD CARDで撮影して、MTSファイルをWMV9でエンコードして、使用しています。
SD CARDには、4GB（26分06秒）ずつのクリップが生成され、TMPGEnc 4.0で複数のクリップを1つに合わせて1つのファイルに抽出します。
しかし、この過程で、自動的に作成されたクリップの接続部分が映像と音声の両方5fps〜10fpsが抜けて見えるという問題が発生しました。
もしかしたら、カメラからSD CARDに保存処理に問題があるし、複数のMTSのクリップをP2 DVCPRO HD（MXF）に変換して、Avidからの確認の結果
テキストには、異常なしが発見されました。
TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpressエンコーダに問題があるのでないことを確認お願い致します。ありがとうございました。

Hello. Korean mega-study (shares) of Ryuin country.
Currently, customers in TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress is a TEST
Panasonic HPX - 150 camera to shoot with Panasonic 16GB SD CARD, MTS files encoded in WMV9 and are using.
SD CARD to, 4GB (26 minutes 06 seconds) is generated for each clip, TMPGEnc 4.0 multiple clips one by one according to the extract in one single file.
However, in this process, both the audio and visual portions of the clip was created automatically connect 5fps ~ 10fps was a problem that seems missing.
Maybe there is a problem from the camera to SD CARD to save processing, multiple clips MTS P2 DVCPRO HD (MXF) to convert, Avid confirmation from the results
The text, no abnormalities were found.
TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress thank you confirm that there is not a problem with the encoder. Thank you.

my reply:

so what your saying is that when you transferred the data from the sd card, some data seems to be wrong


ので、何を言っしたときには、sdカードからのデータが転送され、いくつかのデータが間違っているようだ

yes, I believe you can!

I have shot some footage on a Canon HF10. The footage was recorded as progressive 25 fps. When I import into TMPGenc 4.0 Xpress it sets the display mode to interlaced. I have 240 shots! do I have to really press edit on each shot and change the settings to progressive manually? Are there no batch ways to set this????

Please Help!!

Many thanks

I would guess that TMPGENC would be smart enough not to try and deinterlace a progressive video. Try a test video with the setting on interlaced and see if the output is progressive or not.

go straight to the output format and just ensure its progressive

I have some standard definition DV-AVI files. I want to encode to MP4 files with LPCM or Dolby Digital audio, and then burn to a Blu-Ray disc 25gb.

The "Blu-Ray Standard MPEG" output seems to only output MPEG-2 files. So I tried selecting "MPEG-4 AVC file output", but this only supports AAC audio, which Blu-Ray discs don't support.

So how do I encode MPEG-4 AAC video and Dolby Digital audio, that is compliant with Blu-Ray standard?

Will TMPG convert tivo files?

tivo files are mpeg extension, so yes.

I am fairly new to the world of encoding. I have been following some guides to convert my blu rays to WMV for the pure lazy enjoyment of playback through the Vista Media Center and the Xbox 360 extender.

It seems like for the audio choice most people are recommending Windows Media Audio 10 Professional for 5.1 which upon further investigation appears to be lossy. I was wondering why this was the preference over the Audio 9 lossless for 5.1 since the xbox 360 will support lossless. Is the professional 10 lossy better quality than 9 lossless? Is there another reason for choosing the later?

Thanks in advance for any information/advice.

Well, I read the Wikipedia etc. definitions of each but I would still really like to hear a general opinion, from those who use this software to encode, on WMA 9 lossless vs. WMA 10. I'm intersted in hearing any experienced opinion on quality or any other insight as to why I might choose one over the other when encoding to WMV HD.

Thanks again

The biggest question is space. I've been ripping DVD's to WMV for playback on my XBox 360. I've been using WMA 10 2 Pass VBR 384kbps, 48kHz, 5.1 Channel 24 bit with a peak of 768kbps and max buffer of 4000ms. I'm not sure off hand for BluRay, but I think they use 96kHz on the audio. What ever they use you should match on the settings for your encoding.

As far as using lossless or lossy. VBR can sound exactly like the lossless version, because during the more complitacted/demanding parts the bit rate is able to increase and during less demding parts it lowers it self down. Using a VBR is greatly preferred to using a CBR. Using VBR instead of lossless greatly increases the amount of space saved on your hard drive. Which is key when you're talking about source movies that are 20GB+. As for being able to hear a difference it really depends on what you're listening to and what you're using for playback. If you've got $10,000+ worth of stereo/speakers and listening to an orchestra playback you might be able to discern some small difference. And even then it can vary by listener.

You can also always run test encodes with different settings and see which one is best.

I'm working on converting my DVD collection to WMV files. Thought I had everything working. My latest rip, The Da Vinci Code, I can't figure out how to get the forced subtitles to work. So at the parts where they're speaking Latin and other foreign languages you get no english subtitles. If I watch the DVD on the same computer I'm encoding with the subtitles work at those specific spots automatically. I get options for selecting subtitles, but they just enable it throughout the entire movie and not at those specific spots. Anyone know how to get the forced subtitles working?

As far as I know, all subtitles in 4.0 XPress will be forced, as in, encoded into the actual video. You'll need some pro DVD authoring software to do what you want to do I think.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm asking. On some DVD movies the DVD will force the subtitles on and off throughout the movie for foreign language speaking parts. I'm fine with TMPGEnc Xpress burning the subtitles into the video track, but there is no way that I can see for it to just do it during these forced on parts and not the entire movie.

From doing some Google searching about "forced subtitles" and subtitles on DVD, during foreign language portions, there seems to be three methods.
Subtitles that are already burnt into the video track.
Subtitles track that only has those foreign language portions.
Subtitle forced on and off during the movie.

The last one is the one I'm having problems with on Xpress. If I turn on the subtitle I get them throughout the entire movie. If I leave it off you miss all the foreign language parts of the movie. And there is no special subtitle track on the DVD with just those portions.

Now I downloaded a trial of DVDFab which gives you a little checkbox for only showing forced subs. So you select the subtitle track and then check "Only Show Forced Subs" and you get the results I'm looking for. Tmpgenc is a much better piece of software and I'm not really looking to spend $50 to get one feature that can be added to Xpress quite easily. I'm basically hoping the ability is already there and I'm missing it somehow or it'll be added a future patch.

There's no way to only show forced subs in 4.0 XPress. If you can export one of the subtitle streams as a file, you can edit it with a subtitle or text editor. Just delete all of the subtitles except the forced ones and then import it back into 4.0 XPress.

Or you could just type in the subtitles manually.

Little update. I talked to the support people, who confirmed that forced subs can't be done currently. They've added it to the user feature request list. So hopefully an update will implement it soon.

I haven't done this with DVD so I'm not sure it works the same but this is what I do when encoding Blu ray to WMV and want to keep the forced subtitles.

1. I import the .m2ts file from the blu ray into TSmuxer(free). (Not sure about this step for DVD)
2. I demux the english subtitle streams. (Takes a couple minutes)
3. I them import the demuxed subtitle stream into Suprip(also free)
4. Then I click the auto OCR button and sometimes not all characters are recognized properly so I go through and put the corrct letters where the OCR didn't automatically select the correct character. (one I did last night took about 5 minutes on this step)
5. I then select the check mark for forced subs only and save. (creates .srt file)
6. Now when I open TMPgenc Xpress 4.0 and import my video, I then use the subtitle filter in Clip/Edit (I had to add the subtitle filter to the list of shown filters in TMPgenc as it was not shown by default) and I import my newly saved .SRT file (forced subs only)that was created with Suprip and encode to WMV.
7. Works great!

When I add MOV video file, the audio is not import. The audio is not in edit window not yet in output file.
Video codec is avc1 and audio codec is mp4a.

Please help.

Greetings,

I need help creating a PAL M DVD, which is the standard used by Brazil, using TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress. My understanding is that PAL M has a similar a frame rate and scan line to NTSC; however, the color carrier is different.

Unfortunately, PAL M is very different from the PAL used in some countries in Europe.

Would someone be kind enough to help me configure TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress and TMPEnc DVD Author 3 with the proper settings so that I can make a working PAL M DVD?


Thanks in advance,

Ed

When I encode MPEG2 for SD DVD, the audio is slightly ahead of the video. It is this way from the very beginning. This occurs if I use the software codec from TMPGEnc 4 Express, or if I use the FirecoderBlue SpursEngine card.

Has anyone seen this, and found a solution? Is there a known good set of setting for encoding?

I believe a workaround is to demux the audio and video then load them as separate files. You can find the demultiplexing tool in the Start Stage-->MPEG Tools.

My input is an AVI file. It is perfectly synced. The tools demuxer doesn't support AVI files.

You should have mentioned that from the beginning.

Here's an older post that might help you.
http://bbs.tmpg-inc.com/bbs.php?key=audio+sync&search=+Search+&board=en_te40#topic86

ok use nandub to take away the audio and also so re add to the video if needed after your encoding, but also you can add the audio file to the mpegvia the mpeg tools tmpgenc xpress has.

also make sure that you select the correct fps format that yu encode your video , because if its different than the original source, thats where the syns issues will be.

I don't think seperating audio/video to resolve this is a reasonable solution. This is a 2 hour video, and I have quite a lot of them. This AVI file can be encoded perfectly with other apps. The audio is ahead of the video, even from the very beginning. It is a constant delay. Although the audio gap feature could be used to fix it, it is trial and error to get the correct delay.

the audio your using is it vbr mp3?

TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress (version 4.7.1.284)

Source is a DVD.

Audio drops out after processing a "bad" frame in the source. My source file has what appears to be a bad frame. When using the Cut-Edit tool the bad frame is visible in the "film strip" below the main image. There's one section that has no image, almost like a gap in the source. Kinda hard to explain but I hope you understand what I'm talking about. Well, when playing the video from the Cut-Edit screen the audio drops out after passing this bad frame and the audio remains off for the remainder of playback. This loss of audio also ends up in the final file (in my case it's an .mp4 but I think that's irrelevant since the problem occurrs before the file is even converted). If I move the cursor to point after then bad frame and play, the audio works fine so it's the processing of that one frame that kills audio from that point on.

So...
Has anybody experienced this and is there a work-around? or...

I can cut out the bad frame...
Is there a way to find a bad frame like this without having to manually scan all 300000 frames of my movie.

I have the same problem. I have yet to find a solution. :-/

if the file is mpeg-2 format , use dgindex to create a d2v file this will also locate the bad frames and fix them...well it should do.

then all you do is load the d2v file into the software and load the audio file

I had the same error. I ended up figuring out the bad frame and deleting a few frames before and after. It worked fine after that. But yes, it would be good to have this fixed properly in the s/w.

Hi, I am new to using this software. I have reencoded some of my movies to WMV with great sucuess using TMPGenc 4.0. However, I got to one last night that wanted to encode my movie with a green bar on the left side of the video. This was .m2ts files with H264 video and AC3 6 channel audio.

I would really appreciate any advice or assistance with encoding this movie without the green bar.

Thanks

Nevermind. The green bar only shows when viewing through WMP 11 and not my actual TV. I can live with that.

As a video editor for my wedding video company, I've used TMPGEnc 2.5 for years & found it to be great. Now I'm looking at TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress & it says it supports AVCHD. If it will do the following I'll buy it.

I've made AVCHD DVDs before with Nero 8 & they looks great - far better standard DVD quality. And, my Panasonic Blu-Ray player will playback AVCHD DVDs in true HD. I state it like this because I'm not looking to down convert AVCHD to DVD mpeg standard def quality. I want to keep the video at 1920x1080.

Simply put, will TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress make AVCHD DVD?

no, i've tried. i can only do it with premier pro CS3, using mpeg pro HD plugin. if you find a way to do it with tmpgenc4 let me know.

Thanks.

1440x1080 at max , but the blu-ray option will do 1920x1080.
best of luck for a proper file size.
