The x264 encoder will be integrated into the next generation of Pegasys’ popular video conversion software, TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress, and will be the first commercial software granted a commercial license for this technology in Japan".
Some of my edited videos are coming out HUGE! I'm talking 30-40 GB!
I load the video I want. Then I cut out the scenes I don't want. Then I choose the format option, then I encode it, and my video comes out HUGE! Even bigger than the video before I edited it!
Hi :)
i need to unwrap my MTS avchd files end save them as m4v.
is that possible with TMPGEnc 4?
(it means JUST unwrap the file without transcoding it)
I have downloaded some wmv video from our state broadcaster, but as I have
trouble playing it on my media box, I need to convert it to mpeg.
I start a new project, and add wmv file.If I go to cut-edit section, and
play back different parts of the file, the audio is in perfect sync.
I click ok and select DVD standard mpeg file as format, 16:9, CBR and
dolby digital.(have also tried pcm).resolution is then set to 720x576, 9200 average bit rate for video, and 224 kb rate for audio.I then go to encode section.here I can do preview as well, and the audio is still in perfect sync.I start encode, and it finishes after some conversion time.and then I have an mpeg file with audio severely out of sync.the audio is a few seconds ahead of the video.
mpeg file is tested with vlc and wmp.is this a bug in tmp, or did I do something
foolish setting up the project? thanks in advance for any help.
I have a FLV file specs below which my coppy of TMPGEnc 4.6.3.268 will not open so I cannot convert.
Is there anyway to get it too work?
It's very annoying, this a bought product, but the free Any Video Converter 3.1.0 which I searched and found WILL!!!!
General
CompleteName : F:\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.flv
Format : Flash Video
FileSize/String : 429 MiB
Duration/String : 2mn 45s
OverallBitRate/String : 21.7 Mbps
The answer I got from TMPGEnc was that I should try and upgrade, and that FLV1 and FLv4 were the only flvs supported, nothing about when they thought abought including anything else.
Not progressive and customer interested, when a quick search turns up a prog that does what I want, it makes me wonder if I will be buying any of there stoff again.
This is the way I convert an .flv file with TMPGEnc - YMMV
I use the following programs:
AutoGK 2.55 (also installs AviSynth)
QuickTime Pro (or VLC can be used) for audio conversion
FLV Extract 1.6.1 http://moitah.net/
DGAVCDec 1.09 http://www.videohelp.com/download/dgavcdec109.zip
use FLV Extract to demux the .flv
open the .aac audio file in QuickTime to create a .wav file
File > Export > Export: Sound To Wave > Options: (choose what you like)
now you have your .wav file
open the .264 video file in DGAVCDec
(learn how to choose your 'settings'...)
File > Save Project
now you have your .dga file
Save these 6 lines in notepad as an .avs file:
LoadPlugin ("C:\Program Files\DGAVC\DGAVCDecode.dll")
you can add features in this .avs file for exact control of your video:
BicubicResize (608,456)
Greyscale ()
AddBorders (16,12,16,12)
Trim (1236,35363)
FadeIn (12)
FadeOut (12)
and dozens of others.....
Keep all these files so far in the same folder.
TMPGEnc will now import the .avs file with all your editing features,
along with most other video programs that can handle an .avi import.
One of the few things you have to set is bitrate & quality. The added bonus
of an .avs file - you can drop it into other programs like VirtualDub
& all of your resizing, fading, bordering, etc... in the .avs - saving
you the time of having to reset everything in different programs.
Spankenstein thanks for posting. Try reading the post, its about a new flv that TMPGEnc dosn't support and after that they are not interested.
Your method sounds like a lot of hard work when Any Video Converter 3.1.0 which I mentioned in the origonal post, will do it in one go and is very quick.
I just think that TMPGEnc's attitude confirms my view about buying programs.
I've recently been trying to transcode a short timelapse clip to play on an iPad and seem to have run into a roadblock. Although settings for MPEG-4 AVC 720p work great, the TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress User interface will not allow me to set a native iPad resolution of 1024x768 using the Level 3.1 supported but the iPad. It will only allow that resolution if Level 3.2 or higher is selected, which according to the iPad specifications is not supported.
By my calculations 1024x768 would be 1024/16=64 and 768/16=48 so at 30fps this should produce 64*48*30 or 92,160 macro blocks per second. This is well under the limit of 108,000 for Level 3.1. So why wont XPress allow me to select this resolution with level 3.1 (it keeps changing it back to 1024x720)?
This odd behavior appears to prevent encoding at the native iPad resolution using the 3.1 level. Did I miss something?
I used TMPGEnc Xpress v4.0 to encode video for my website. The website player is set up correctly and working when I use a mp4 downloaded from youtube.
Once I use my encoded files they buffer completely before they play. So no streaming is possible.
Since ther is no possibility making a difference while uploading to the site and the site is not changed the problem must be one of the file created.
I did encode my file exactly as the one I got from Youtube but it had no effect at all! Still no streaming while the youtube on is. I tried multiple files. No effect.
Here is the media info of the 2 Files to compare:

I had the same problem with mp4 files encoded with TMPGenc Xpress 4.xx not streaming. After some research I've figured it out.
1. TMPGenc Xpress doesn't write the atoms in the mp4 file header in the order required for streaming. I use the the free command utility mp4box.exe to arrange the atoms in the correct order (mp4box -optimize file.mp4). There is also a free GUI for doing this operation named MP4 FastStart.exe.
2. Only the output of the Baseline profile has been streaming for me after the rearrangement of the atoms in the mp4 file header.
You might try renaming the file extention to f4v instead of flv, f4v uses an H.264 container, while flv files use either On2's vp6 or an older version of sorensen's spark codec. or also some freeware codecs will produce an flv file. google bought On2 and they are using what was supposed to be Vp8(also H.264 or perhaps x.264 like the upcoming version of Tmpgenc mastering works has. and open source codecs for the audio. regardless, the f4v extention might do the trick.
I just installed a GTS 450 Nvidia card, when I try to select overlay mode when I am adding filters it's greyed out, can someone tell me what I can do to get it working?
Do you have any other programs running that is using the overlay? For instance if you're using a program like PowerDVD, you won't be able to use overlay mode.
No Im only running the main program with nothing else taking up video resources in the background.
With my Radeon card I had the option to select it and if something else was using it I would get an error saying I cant enable it, but now with the Nvidia card it is greyed out.
Ive tried the last 3 versions and they are all greyed out.
Was doing a bit of research and it looks like Windows 7 handles hardware overlays in a different way than older verisons of Windows-- this is most likely why overlay mode won't work on your machine.
I'd have to run a virtualmachine and run virtual XP with Windows 7 to get it to work right? But wouldn't that be a huge memory hog doing it like that?
Well at least I could get my settings the way I want them and save the Txp4 file and re-open it again on Windows 7 in Tmpgenc.
I like this software because I find it user friendly so I can edit my videos. I've tried to buy it, but I'm told each time that there's something wrong with my credit card information. I've tried to find a phone number so I can purchase the old fashioned way by giving my credit card information to an operator, but haven't had any luck.
What's up with you people who make this software? Don't you want to make a profit?
I specifically downloaded tmpenc express to change the playback speed on films & lectures, basically speed them up, are there any options as i cant see this anywhere in the demo i've downloaded
No options to alter playback speed in filters or options
Which is surprising even VLC allows you to change the playback speed decoding ...
If you learn some of the basics of AviSynth, you can easily write an .avs file with whatever you want to do - such as change the speed (& lower the pitch), crop, fade, etc... TMPGEnc AW4 & XPress both import .avs files, along with most other encoding programs that will accept an .avi file.
