TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
Hi,
I`m working with the recent release of Xpress. I have a HP Workstation Z800 with 12GB RAM and a Quadro 4000. I am using the Prefetch-Function (Multithread-Options), but the max. Video-Prefetch is 512MB. It is not possible to raise it higher, although my workstation has 12GB RAM. Is it a bug?
I recently purchased Tmpg Express and have been using it no problem. However this morning I went to encode a video and got he error message "video could not be opened". I downloaded media info to see what the avi was encoded with and it was xvid. I downloaded the xvid codec then rebooted and tried again but keep getting the same error message. I then checked the files that have worked and it turns out they were all Divx. I just redid my pc last week and installed on of those Shark Codec packages. Does anyone know of a codec package where xvid will work with Tmpg? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You need to use Direct Show or FFDShow and a media splitter. I use FFDShow rev. 1868 and Haali Media Splitter. I believe these are easily obtained as shareware. This will also allow you to work with Matroska files. I notice in their ad for the new ver. 5 TMPGExp it will accept the Matroska files and I believe it will also accept XVID files.
There is a minimal number of codecs installed in my application, but I have these two codecs installed that may help solve your problem. Google for the download.
I have only a little experience decoding/encoding video. But I have never had an AVI fail to open when selecting the DivX codec. My problem today, is that file size after encoding to smaller video dimensions with the Dvix codec is too large. This happens only with certain AVI files. So obviously, I need to examine the problem files and see what was used to encode them. I had thought that Xvid was a loosely-used term meaning the AVI container with DivX. But it looks like MPEG-4 is also prominent, so I'll try the Xvid MPEG-4 codec instead. :)
I want to ask if anyone know how to compress dvd.I have a dvd9 which i want compress to dvd5 but i cant find a good software to do that.Does any of pegasys software can do that for me?I dont want lose menus,substreams and all other info on disc.Just compress it.Any comment would appreciate.
Thanks
The "VFapi plugin" subpage under "File input plug-ins" in Preferences stopped showing. Because of this, Womble MPEG Video Wizard project files (wbp) are no longer recognized as supported video files and TMPGenc Xpress won't open them. This happened recently. For very long time I've been using TMPGenc Xpress to encode wbp filesl
Many thanks for any help on how to re-enable the VFapi support!
I am rendering a .m2ts file to mpg for DVD. The problem is that my file is 4 min 20 sec long , but TMPGEnc renders only 3 min 27 sec. I have tried all that I can think of but nothing changes. Can anyone help?
you didn't state much information to go on, but my brain immediately went to FPS math: 260 secs (4:20) * 23.976 / 29.97 = 208 (which happens to be 3:28 - pretty darn close). Is the video playing 25% faster?... or cutting off 52 secs?... Do the input FPS & the output FPS match? hope this helps you
I fianally gave up waiting for ATI Hardware acceleration, as I was tired of waiting hours to encode HD video, when OTHER products could do the same job many,many times faster. Your product is now outdated, NO ati hardware support, NO 64 bit version. I am going to spend my money on another product
I upgraded to 4.0 Express.. long time TMPEG user. I have an i7 HP laptop with NVDIA Quadro FX1800M GPU. When I start the program, it says that "need GeForce 190.38 or newer" and CUDA is disabled when I check under preferences. I do not have a GeForce card and so I don't know what to make of this? I checked NVIDIA website and they have the Quadro I have seems to be Quadro compatible. What should I do? Is there something I need to download and instaled from NVDIA CUDA developers' website?
BTW, Xpress 4.0 is doing a fine job with 1080p video from my Panasonic AVCHD camcorder and converting into BlueRay compatible Mpeg.. takes about 40 min. for 20 min. of video and that is what I am trying to speed up.

So, I see that if you buy v.4 now you can get 5 for free when it becomes available. Does that means that folks like me who had the good sense to buy it a while back, april 2010, are stuck paying the upgrade fee?
I think one year of free upgrades is not asking too much. I've been chomping on the bit for mkv support so I'll probably pay the price, but I won't be too thrilled about it.
Industry practive is that major verion upgrades are not free except to those who buy the prior version on/after a certain cut-off date, typically about the time of the official announcement. The reason for this is in part to not discourage sales of product. Keep the revenue stream and prevent people jumping g to another product that might compete with the new release.
An exception is for software that is on a support license agreement (e.g., with annual payments) rather than just a one-time payment for a perpetual license, as is common with most software for PCs.
The people to feel for are thouse who bought Express 4 on January 4th. I am a bit surprised they did not set the cutoff date tot he date it first appearsed on the JP web page back in ~mid December.
