I really need help with compressing a file. when i try compressing it by bringing down the bitrate, the output video which goes for about 1.5 hours has only about 20 minutes of audio in it. why does this happen? how do i do a full compression (i only need to compress it down about 600 megs or so)
thanks in advance!

When encoding to an MP4, there is no option for the H.264 codec. Is this a limitation of TMPGEnc?

I have version 4.6.3.268

Select "MPEG-4 AVC format" when you select MPEG-4 file output. It is the same as h.264.

Thanks tkrave... I did not realize that!

Hi to all. I would just like to add that, besides cuda enabled encoding, it would be nice to have the possibility of encoding video with both cpu and gpu at full speed, without offloading cpu, in order to maximize encoding speed. I wonder if tmpgenc is going toward this mode too.

Does anyone here know how to set the moov atom at the beginning of an h.264 file to enable progressive download using a flash player? I have tried qt-faststart.c but it fails when I try to run it against an enc xpress generated mp4 file. I have scoured the internet but cannot find a tool that will get it moved.

Hi, I should create an avi with Divx 6.8 codec.
I read multipass (2 pass) is better than single pass generally.
Is it possible use multipass with Divx 6.8 and TMPGEnc 4.5 Xpress?
If it’s so, could someone tell me exactly what are the right steps to do it? When I arrive to select the divx codec then I can’t setting it for 2 pass.
One pass, yes I do.

Thanks

It sounds like you are using the AVI output format with the DivX 6.8 codec?

In the Format Stage, after you have selected AVI file output and DivX 6.8 as your codec, click on the "Settings..." button.

This opens a DivX Codec Properties window. Towards the bottom there is a section called "Rate control". Just select one of the "Multipass" options for rate control mode and that should do it.

Hi, yes exactly, I'm using the AVI output format with the DivX 6.8 codec.

I select "Multipass, 1st pass" but after the encode I get an useless small file.

If I select "Multipass, Nth pass" directly, I get a good file but there was no double pass, just one.

Where I wrong??



Thanks

Hmmm...you're right, it doesn't seem to do a 2nd pass with the multipass options.

You might want to use the integrated DivX encoder instead of the codec via AVI output. Select "DivX file output" instead of Avi file output in the Format stage. The integrated DivX encoder allows you to do 2 passes, and you can even do more than 2 passes in Advanced mode.

I tried using integrated DivX encoder, I saw, now it does multi pass but got a .divx extension file not avi file I wanted.


However if ther's no other way, thanks you to answered and helped me. Bye

I know this is an old reply, but for just FYI, a .divx file is same as an .avi file. You can either change the name manually, or better, just go to the options and tell Xpress to use .avi instead. Personally, I prefer leaving it at .divx because then I know at a glance which AVI files I have processed and which are still in their original form. :)

Adding LOGO suppot??

Not supported untiil now.

It's really weird, there is a logo support for adding the TMPGEnc logo in the trial version... It would be REALLY useful to a lot of people. Please add logo support, please.

im converting AVCHD footage to images sequences so it could work with adobe premier etc... i have 158 .mts files, how do i make this converter convert each image sequence in a seperate folder? i dont want everything bunched together in one folder making it unorganized and hard to find

Hi! Is there some trick to decode/encode flv files in tmpgenc xpress 4.0?

Regards / Jimmy

You just need to install a codec pack. I recommend CCCP (http://www.cccp-project.net/). I've been using it for it for years.

Hi! Sometimes when I have problem with banding in encoded material I use to add a little noice to avoid the encoder to simplify areas. I wounder if it is possible to ADD noice?

Regards / Jimmy

I have various HD source material (HDV,...) that I would like to playback using my Panasonic DMP BD35 BluRay player. This unit can playback BluRay discs, but also native AVCHD files on discs (DVD+/-R(W)) or SDHC flash cards.
At this time I don't have a BD burner or BD authoring program. I just want to find a cheap way to view my HDV videos on this player.

>> Can I convert my HD sources to AVCHD (.m2ts) using TXP 4 ? If yes, what are the settings for the best results (lowest bitrate for high quality)

It can only import avchd footage; it can't output to avchd. Although, you can output as a .m2t file or as a Blu-ray compliant MPEG-2, so that might work for you.

Will upgrading to a cuda enabled card improve h.264 to wmv conversion speeds? I read the press release claiming 446% encoding speed increases with cuda, but from what I understand that is only within specific formats. Thanks.

Edit: If it makes a difference I'm running a q9300 quad core @ 3.5 GHZ. Thanks again.

Bump, I would like to know the answer to this.

well i turned my cuda off last night and the difference was over 30 mins in encoding time, so i woudl say yes and even more so in your case as mines only a verclocked q6600

I would like to take one audio file and make it the track for a video file. Is there a way in TMPG to overwrite the audio track of the video with a new audio file?

I know you can split out the audio file from a video easily but not sure how to do it backwards - put audio into a video.

Thanks!
Ryan

When you first add the video clip in the source stage, the clip properties window appears. You can change the audio source here by selecting a different audio/video source.
