When will TMPGEnc support 64 bit OS systems?
Thanks
MachineGun

I have Windows Vista 64-bit and it works fine on my computer. I've never seen the program using more than 200MB of memory ever, even with 4 threads runnings, so it won't use the >4GB of a 64-bit system...

I have both the new i7 = Quad Core MultiThreaded (4 core CPUs x 2 = virtual threaded CPUs) with 12GB of RAM running Vista 64 bit Ultimate ... and a Dual Quad Core Xeon (8 actual cores) with 12GB of RAM on 64 bit. (not kidding).

When rendering video, After Effects, or 3d animation, the more threads the better. 64bit also takes advantage of allocated RAM (unlike 32 bit where you're limited to 3 out of 4 GB) where the ceiling is the amount you have available.

I use XPress nearly every day. It runs decent on a 32 bit system, but would absolutely benefit SUBSTANTIALLY from a multi-threaded 64 bit OS. Mac's and most Linux are all onto the 64 bit system and benefiting from it. Yet, it's all the thousands of video maker "wannabe's", that are complaining about their piddley 2 - 4GB systems that are holding this program's (and others) potential back.

In the video industry, time is money and your hardware and programs have to keep up. Squeezing every bit of performance from your system and software gives you the flexibility to try different things, and get the job done on time.

XPress is really good software. Otherwise, I wouldn't use and rely on it every day. If TMPGEnc is listening ....Make the move to 64bit!!! ... and get this program updated to take advantage of it! Help cut my day back to 8 hours from 12.

Another vote for move TMPGEnc to 64 bits. I want to buy this program, but I have several issues on WinXP 64 bits. I wait until the 64 bits version.

I'm encoding a progressive DVD from a 23.976 project (DVX-100 24pA) and the very first menu asks for screen - I noticed that for both 4:3 and 16:9 there are two versions. Pixel (NTSC) and Display. I thought NTSC would be the one, but that looks stretched so I chose display and it seems right.

Anyone know what the two choices are about? THANKS.

I Have TMPGEnc ver 4 and would like to know if it is possible to remove the words "screener" from my videos?
Thanks

You can't if it's been encoded into the video itself.

Doesn't matters what I try to do, even the source audio been 5.1 (DVD source, wmv source, wma, avi, etc.), always I get just 2 audio channels at source selection screen. The import screen NEVER shows 5.1. Is it a bug? Or I am missing something?

Got to Options->Preferences->Input/output format list
At "MPEG settings" check the box "Decode Dolby Digital in multichannel"
The same for "Windows Media Settings"

It seems I have the same issue with TMPG Express 4.
I took a look at Options->Preferences->Input/output format list and at "MPEG settings" the box ("Decode Dolby Digital in multichannel") was checked as was the "Windows Media Settings" box.

When I set the format, there are no 5.1 audio settings on any of the formats.
Maybe I am missing something else. What I want to do is set up a HD mp4 finished product that has the 5.1 audio as the original did.

Similar question as Ender I think. Am I missing something?

As far as I know, 5.1 Dolby Digital isn't supported.

When converting any video file to mpeg-4, the size is locked at 352 X 288. Can this size be changed?

I think its possible to change it by choosing MPEG-4 AVC file output format, by MPEG-4 ISO is not.
good luck

Hi,
I've seen that whenever i try to convert more than 1 file thru this App it crashes with a "don't send" followed by "runtime error 204" message box. any clues ? I have xp.

Try to run the application as Administrator, also check about your codecs, its possible that you have broken one, XPress 4 reads all codecs installed in your PC so when one is broken, corrupted, limited edition, weird, or not compatible such crash tents to come out.
So try by uninstall codecs pack or trial codecs, those sometimes brings trouble.

does anyone know why the bitrate in the bluray output file is limited to a max of 25000 ? I have several bluray videos with over 35000 in bitrate.. so the quality is pour when I encode the videos! I have found out that the AVC codec/output is good but then the sound is OFF !?

I do not know the reason but may be its because its the limit standard?, I dont know, but you can try by MPEG-2 Video, NTSC, 1920x1080, then you can set 32000 as max. bitrate at the tamplate "Settings" button,
give it a try.
About the AVC its very weird, what could be the reason?, I also wonder, may be your source file is broken?, try to multiplex it at MPEG Tools.

good luck

Hi
You are right we can encode upto 32000 only. How to encode at 35000?
.mp4 is not a bluray compliant file. we need .avc only. How to get these ?
Thanks

I have an MPG video file that I want to extract the audio portion. I need to wind up with an .ac3 file so I can use it in DVDLab.
Thanks,
Pete

If you file is a standard mpeg video try the following:
-1 Open the MPEG Tools, and input directly your mpeg file.
-2 If it could be correctly input, click the "Start" button to
Demultiplex your file (the output file must be in the same folder).
-3 You will get a separated .ac3 file from demultiplexer.

good luck

Hi Guys :-)

Is there anyway to demux mp4 files into their separate audio/video streams? I have an mp4 file who's audio needs to be increased. I thought demuxing, adjusting the audio, then re-muxing would be a great way of handling this.

Thanks for any help on this!

:-)

I think there is no way to demux mp4 files since they are not supported on the MPEG Tool, so I recommendo you first to encode it as mpeg, apply the demultiplexer then make the corrections and re-encode it as mpeg4.

good luck

Search for a tool named Yamb.

Dear TMPG Inc.,

your software products are really great - but your care about the TMPG community is a shame!

Are you not interested in what your customers have to say? Are you not interested in what your customers think and would like from you? Don't you think it's time to help your customers to help each other?

Take a look on this forum - its usability is very poor... it's simpy the opposite from all your software products takes care about.

So shame on you TMPG!

Are you not able to do this better than that?

C'mon guys... ;)

I do not think you are right, I think they just cant handle this forum because they are so busy (creating and developing their software) to be able attend all users requests, besides this is an OPEN forum for USERS its not a support center.
So I suggest you to be concern and reconsider on what you said.
TMPGEnc makes really good products and so they deserve respect.

good luck

Since they have announced that they will be using CUDA technology for their products already an update is coming out next week. I received an email. I am very, very happy with their work behind the scenes so I am ready to overlook that they haven't much time for customer forums. I would rather have better technology and programs from them than just a better moderated forum because I need good programs for my work and their programs are very well done.

CUDA version is out!! Thanks heaps!!TMPGEnc are on the job and I really appreciate it.

It is not a bad product, but if one is to remove rose colored glasses, one would see that less time would be spent by posting replies for all to see, rather than answering them individually.
