I'm using the latest TMPGEnc on a WinXP32 system. I recently added a GTX 470 and now when I load TMPGEnc it crashes badly when loading the cuda.dll file. I don't have cuda activated in the program but it still crashes.

I'm using the 175.75 drivers but I've tried others and none work.

Has anyone else seen this? Is there any fix?

Rename NVCUDA.DLL (Ex. NVCUDA.ORG)

C:\Windows\system32\nvcuda.dll

If you have Win Vista 64 or Win7 rename nvcuda.dll in SysWOW64 too. Then it runs fine.

Thanks!!

Hello,
my name is John and i am from Athens, Greece.
I am interesting to convert QTRef from Avid to Mpg2 for dvd or Bluray.
Is it possible to use the Leadtek PxVc1100 or the Canopus Firecoder Blu?
These two cards can accelerate any file conversion, that TmpEnc can handle?
Looking forward to your reply
Thanks

The Spursengine cards will accelerate MPEG4 & MPEG2 encoding/decoding but will rely on your CPU for any other format and the audio portion of the video. I have one for sale, including the TMPGEnc & Spursengine plug-in license, if you're interested. I just got a 6 core processor and it's able to handle things well enough that I dont need the spursengine card anymore. The spursengine card is still faster though.

Thanks for the reply.
Just a minute, i need a clear answer.
I have QTRef files (Sd and HD) and i need to convert them, to mpeg2.
Is it possible with this card? (i mean faster than Cpu).
Thanks

What is QTRef? Is it MPEG2 or MPEG4? If it is one of the two it will be accelerated on decoding. Are you converting that QTRef file to an MPEG2 or MPEG4 format in an MPG or MP4 container? If so it will be accelerated on encoding.

QTRef is a Quick time file or .mov file.
And this type of files i need to convert to mpg2.
is it possible?
Is it possible to try it?
Thanks Frank

The trial contains the SpursEngine plug-in trial, so yes, you will be able to test it before you buy.

I have a 25 fps FVL file that I want to convert into a NTSC DVD compliant MPEG file. I am concerned about the audio being out of synch on the converted file. How does TMPGEnc handle te audio when converting form a 25 fps source to a 29.97 fps output file? Thanks.

I meant to say "I have a 25 fps FLV file.."

It *should* convert it fine, but I believe there have been cases where the audio is out of sync.
You can download the trial and test it out yourself if you want.

Thanks. I have a copy of the program and tried this last night. The audio did get out of synch however I also edited (cut) out the first hour from the source FLV file, which in itself should not have introduced synch errors as I've done that before successfully with other sources. But, there also seems to be something wrong with the first frew seconds of the source FLV file though, because it plays very oddly, so perhaps that is causing the synch issues, not sure.

Also, and not sure if this has anything to do with it or not, but TMPGEnc Xpress thinks the source FLV file is 25 fps but MediaInfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net) thinks it's 29.97 fps. What affect does changing the source's frame rate under 'Clip Properties' in TMPGEnc Xpress have on the output?

Update...

Using TMPGEnc Xpress 4.0 I converted the entire source FLV file to MPG and the audio and video in the output file are a long way out of synch...the audio is significantly shorter than the video.

If I play the source file in a FLV player, all is fine. What is really odd is that I also used FLV file and cut it so that I would end up with a 75 minute section in my MPG output file. The MPG video came out perfect but the audio for that 75 minute section of video is only 71 minutes long in the MPG output file! How odd is that?!?! I also tried outputting the same exact 75 minute video segment to a WAV file and the WAV file is 75 minutes long but the last 4 minutes of it contains audio that immediately follows the desired video segment.

Another thing I tried is capturing the audio "live" while the 75 minute segment was playing and the WAV file that resulted is only 71 minutes long. How can the video supposedly be 75 minutes but the corresponding audio only be 71 minutes? I would bet that the audio length is correct but something is throwing off the video time.

There appears to be a significant difference between the audo and video information contained in the FLV file, or at least TMPGEnc does not keep them in synch for some reason.

Any ideas or comments welcome.

Hi Folks,

When trying to encode a quicktime h264 with mp4a audio I get an error box when I click ok at the audio settings box.

"An error occured during the file output initialization. (-192)"

Anyone know of a fix/workaround?

Cheers!

Any plans to add support for the iPad Motion JPEG format? Specifications are as follows:

Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format.

Might be possible already with the correct codecs; ffdshow has a MJPEG encoder.
So theoretically you could make a MJPEG AVI file with those specs. I don't have an iPad to test it on though.

Why not use MPEG4 AVC? What does MJPEG offer that can't be packed in an MP4 container?

>Why not use MPEG4 AVC? What does MJPEG offer that can't be packed in an MP4 container?

Good suggestion. I just got my iPad and I am still figuring this out.

After a few experiments, I came to the conclusion that MPEG4 AVC is the best option. However, I would still like the option to save an a M-JPEG.

>Might be possible already with the correct codecs; ffdshow has a MJPEG encoder.
>So theoretically you could make a MJPEG AVI file with those specs. I don't have an iPad to test it on though.

I will also give this a try. I will let you know if it works. Thanks.

You should be able to use TMPGEnc to do MJPEG as along as you have the appropriate MJPEG codec installed on your computer. You may also try Virtualdub, depending on the input format, or stream to TMPGEnc with Avisynth.

Hi,

recently bought the program TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress. As we know, somehow contained therein is mpeg2 codec (if I may say) very good. Well, but when it comes to encoding H.264 (MainConcept) is bad for me. At least compared to the x264. I bought this program with a view to having one machine to compress the various formaty.Kompresuję footage from the DVD (Family Movies) settings:

Source material: Interlace, Bottom Field First Pixel Pal 4:3 12:11

Codec settings.

Profile: High Level: Automatic
Size: 720x576
Aspect ratio: 12:11 Pixel
Framerate: 25 fps Progressive (Why can not I encode interlaced?)
2 Pass VBR
3000 kb / s
Video system: Automatic
CABAC coding
The rest is default settings


Compressing the same material as the x264 codec (Megui) at the same settings, the picture is super. Almost there is no material difference in terms of original Nina. I will mention again that once other material encoding in Adobe Media Encoder CS4 also using h264 codec and of the quality I was not too enthused. And he probably has the same codec as TMPGEnc.

So how do you think? Do you have the same feelings? Or maybe I set something wrong? How to encode your video so that does not differ too much from the originals?

Please reply. I apologize for poor English :-)

You're doing it completely wrong. You are using TMPGEnc's H263 MPEG4 ASP profile which is similar to Divx. You need to use the H264 MPEG4 AVC profile and you'll see a big quality increase. Mainconcepts MPEG4 codec is not as refined as x264 but it's not too far off.

Can't get it to run at all:

Faulting application name: TMPGEnc4XP.exe, version: 4.7.6.304, time stamp: 0x3c7838d8

Hello,

I am new to this forum. I am using the trial version of this software. I have tried several time to convert a video and when it's done, the video file is no where to be found.

Is there a reason for this. Is it the trial version.

I am confused. Can someone please help.

Thank you in advanced.

Juan

Double check where you're saving the file to in the output screen and check that directory. If it's actually going through the output process, the file has to be somewhere on your computer.

Hi, I'm trying to add a mkv file in my TMPGEnc project, but i got an error message:
Cannot open the file [filename.mkv].

I can watch it in BS Player, and convert it with WinAVI....
But with TMPGEnc don't work.
I believe that I have all necessary codecs in my computer.

Somebody can help me ?

Thanx.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, with K-Lite codecs.

mkv seems to come up about every week in here.

See this thread:
http://bbs.pegasys-inc.com/bbs/list/lang/en/board/TE40#topic59283

Towards the end, Jimcgr seems to have found a solution:

>Just want to add my experience as I think it will help people looking to open MKV (both vc-1 and h.264) files in TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress. I'm using windows 7.

>After reading a thread on videohelp.com I uninstalled ffdshow and haali that I had previously installed then I installed Shark007. I launched Shark's application settings using "right-click" and "run as admin". Under the h.264 tab, on the right part, I changed "use Ms Codec" to "Use FFDshow's codec". Click exit button to apply. Make sure to restart TMPGenc if it was already running.

>With this I can finally open those MKV files ( mainly the h.264 were the problem ) with tmpgenc!!

Ok, link to that thread isn't working. Just do a search for "Can't import mkv to xpress 4.0" and you'll find it.

Thaaanxx !!!
It's works fine !!!

I just tried out the most recent version to see just how well CUDA performs, but I find it rather disappointing.
I tried creating a 40 minute MP4 video to be used on a mobile device (eg. PPC, PSP, Ipod, etc.) on a Core 2 Duo E6400 with an Nvidia 250GTS.
With CUDA enabled, it took 30 minutes. Without CUDA, it took 25 minutes - rather disappointing.
The same file, using a similar MP4 profile, on Badaboom media encoder takes 4 minutes on this very same computer while using almost exclusively CUDA. And the resulting video has similar, if not better quality.
I really hope that CUDA acceleration gets properly implemented in TMPEGEnc, since it's editing features and filters are vastly superior to what Badaboom offers.

It's worse than that on faster computers...

I just dropped in a Phenom II x6 running at 3.8ghz in my computer that has a 9800GTX. While encoding a 40 minute DV file to a DVD compliant MPEG2 file (at the highest quality settings with 2-pass, video noise reduction, Inverse Pulldown deinterlacing, & a few other minor filters) it was going to take about 60 minutes to process with CUDA turned on. I turned CUDA off and it processed in 24 minutes. It's pretty useless unless you have a really old PC.

Agreed, cuda support stinks, it doesn't speed up anything worthwhile other than PhysX I guess. lol

Hi,

I had the same problem with VMESys.dll module crashing.
The problem was solved by installing TPMGEnc to a non-default location - another logical drive _without_ NTFS security restrictions set up by default for the system Program Files folder.
Now I'm able to run it even without any Compatibility Mode settings.
By the way, there's no such problems on Win7 x86 installation.
