TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
I open TMPGEnc and when I try to add any video (but i mostly do Windows Media Center TV-recorded videos and it freezes right away. The edit video window does not even open, it freezes and says this program doesn't answer. It works sometimes though, the edit window opens and everything is fine, then the next video freezes again. It un-freezes if I wait 5/6 minutes. Help would be nice. I'm using v4.2.3.193 though I have tried a more recent version and still got the same problem, and Windows Vista 32bit.
I'm testing tmpgenc xpress to produce file for hd dvd and bluray authoring. I have good succes in making hours of mpeg2 with tmpgenc before and really like your product.
1 Do you have template for this format ?
I can encode in MP@HL at 1920/1080 without any problem.
But I can't make MPEG4 AVC greater than 720X576 ? there is no warning in the spec !!!!
2 Do you plan to have hd in mpeg4 AVC ?
3 Do you plan to have vc1 elemantary stream (not wm9) ?
I have acces to all sonic hd dvd and bluray products, if it can help to make test
4 do you plan to add 3:2 pulldown in other format than mpeg2 ?
5 Do you plan a more easy support way ? and a forum for your buyer ?????????
I'm using a P4 1.6ghz w/ 768mb ram to convert rmvb to divx. It take about 2-3hrs for a 45minute 512x384 video clip on a multipass (2) 1200Kbs video bite rate. If I upgraded to a faster system w/ a dual or quad process and HT, how much faster will be conversions be?
Hey guys--long time user of TMPGEnc programs, first time posting here.
I have seen some snippets about this, but no answer. One of the features that convinced me to upgrade to Xpress 4.0 was the promise of "Automatic Scene Change Detection". If that features works, it will save me loads of time--but like one of the other users mentioned, I have clicked every way I know how and cannot get ANYTHING that even resembles what that feature is supposed to do. The user manual for the program is completely worthless on this point--it has about one sentence about the feature and the instructions are vague at best.
In the Cut-Edit window, clicking with the middle mouse button on the thumbnail navigator will move the playhead to the next scene. Click to the right of the playhead to move forward, left to move back. Sensitivity can be adjusted in the Preferences.
Hello, I try to convert a number of films with TMPGEnc 4 Express into AVI(divx)-format. to reach quality as high as possible I want to use for it the multi-pass procedure of DivX. If I adjust DivX under output format, thus the included Encoder, it works. However I licenced and would like also the "real" DivX, newest version, to make use of the extended attitudes of this version. The multi-pass procedure to use over here one must naturally encode the same film twice. Unfortunately the batch Encoder does not permit that, because the "second" file has the same name as first. If I do remind right, that was with TMPGEnc Express 3 no problem, and it should be none here, so can I somehow turn it off? Greeting Heinz Juergen
We have been using free tmpeg and today upgraded to xpress4. Why did batching get neutered? You used to be able to set a template, choose files and go. Now you have to set up each file by hand/register and then process all auto. Why did batch change so drasticlly?
I'm getting the same error when trying to encode a large number of small DV files (about 140 files, total of 55 min.). Same result on two different PCs - both with 100's of gigs of NTFS drivespace.
I haven't done much testing - I was able to encode 80 of the clips at a time. I would like TMPGEnc to confirm the limitation and if it will be fixed.
me to - with AVCHD files on a HD - imported 16 out of 331 clips then get the error message = not enought storage available to complete this operation. I have 2gb ram with 3 HDs all NTFS with 50GB free MINIMUM on each!
Love your free stuff but STIL NOT READY TO BUY SOMETHING FROM YOU!
Got it guys - TMPGENC is burning 1.5GB of RAM! The first 16 clips = 2GB memory - THEY MUST BE LOADING THE PROJECT INTO RAM! If so thats a first year software student mistake. If not then a teeney-weeney coincidence.
I have the same issue when converting only one 3,5 hour MPEG2 Clip to h264.
My computer has 8GB Ram and Vista 64 Ultimate.
I´m allso using CUDA as i have a Nvidia GTX 280 if that might have anything to do with it.
i noticed in Taskmanager that that the memory usage rises to 4,5 GB which is just over 50% of total ram. So lack of Ram is not the issue.
As other people in this thread i have 100´s of GB free on my Temp and project Drive( NTFS ).
I was having the same problem. Couldn't for the life of me figure out what was happening. The same exact process was working on the same exact files on two of my other computers, but it would fail in the first 5% or so when I would try it on a 3rd computer which has far more storage space than the other two computers (1TB). The error message clearly points to a storage space problem, but in fact it's a memory issue (thank you to the other posters that pointed me in the right direction), TMPGENC just does a poor job with its error reporting.
The system in question had virtual memory turned off for a very specific reason, and the system only has 1GB of physical RAM. That would be sufficient for most operations and certainly for the specific purpose that system was designed for, but for memory intensive operations it's possible that it might not be enough. As soon as I turned on virtual memory and set a 2GB swap file, the problem immediately went away. If you're receiving this error message and you're sure you have plenty of storage space for both your TEMP directory and your destination directory, check your physical memory and virtual memory settings. You may need to increase your virtual memory manually if Windows hasn't assigned enough to satisfy TMPGENC.
FYI the system in question is a 3GHz P4 with 1GB of RAM, 1TB storage, running XP SP2.
Please see my comments/questions at the end of Nick's excellent thread, "PAL DV-AVI source files not read correctly" (even though PAL had nothing to do with the problem, which, I'm guessing, was an oversight by TMPG to change a registry key).
