Hi guys. Can anybody tell me why the TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress converter cuts the movies in two if they are long? Can this be avoided?

What is your output format? AVI? AVI and older versions of DivX have a file size limit of 4 GB, so if it exceeds that, then it might be splitting it at the 4 GB mark.

I haven't had the problem although a lot of these software proggys have a setting making each portion the size of a specific madia. In other words, if the setting is DVD (MPEG2) there may be a 4.7 gig limit. An mpeg1 (VCD) may have a typical CD limit of 640 meg... etc...

What might be causing the audio to drop out
at about 11.5 minutes into a program
after encoding from .mov to .mpg
as an MPEG-2 file?

in editing movie forced subtitles appear. how do I remove them

Are they encoded as part of the video? If so then they can't be removed.

I am having trouble with DVD files that I input or import into MasteringWorks 5. A DVD file will input normally as before, but it now has a terribly distorted, psychedelic effect. It is almost impossible to determine what I'm looking at. The encoding will work, but the outputted result has the same distorted look as the input. Was something occurred with my codecs or something to alter DVD files once on the computer?

Can someone help me fix what has gone wrong?

Hi,
The distored image means the decoding is wrong, or has issues.

Are you importing through the Source wizard > From DVD... option?
if not try by it.
Also check if it happens the same with other DVD material.

Also manually copy the DVD-Video files in your HDD and try to import from there.

how to combine several videos??

Add all of your videos as clips in the Source stage, in the order you want them from top to bottom. In the Format stage, make sure to select to output all videos as one file (there should be a drop down menu for this option towards the top of the window.

thano you like them
it is good
ok

On starting the TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress program, I am receiving "Application error: EAccessViolation in module TMPGEncVMW5.exe/689E99E9. Reading error occurred in address 689EA9E9 at address 689EA9E9.” followed by "FastMM has detected a GetMem call after FastMM was uninstalled."

Hi,

Something in someway is preventing the correctly start of TMPGEnc
software over your system, or possibly there is a conflict from some
elements.

The main reason could be this...
If you have installed Quick Time or other non-free versions (ex.
QuickTime Alternative 2.3.0 or iTunes) of QuickTime software, please
try by uninstalling them or install the newest free version.

good luck

Hello,

I have built dual opteron 6272 for a client to encode videos. TMPGEnc seems to be using only 4 cores max, at 5-7% of total load.

Is there a way to make TMPGEnc use more cores? Client needs fast encoding and currently there is no difference between single i7-2600 and 32 core opteron setup, as i7 will run at 100% and 32 cores at 6%, output time will be the same.

Hi,

I think this depends on your source file and the encoding format,
foe ex. when encoding to .avi format 4.0 XPress will use codecs
installed in your PC so if such codecs does not support the cores of
your CPU they won't be used.

Also check if your OS is recognizing well the other cores too.

I'm using Windows XP and have a weird problem. When encoding and choosing an Output folder, I am not seeing the "project_1" folder in Windows Explorer.

It shows up in TMPGEnc's folder list but when I try to open it I get a "refers to location that is unavailable".

The folder is missing from Windows Explorer. When doing a Browse For Folder within TMPGEnc the folder is there and the files within the folder are correct.

I just can't open the folder, and it's missing from Windows Explorer.

I'm stummped.

Now it's working. This is too weird. Thanks anyway. Problem solved for now.

Does TMPGEnc 4.0 express convert trp files?

Might be possible, but I'm not sure since I don't have a trp file to test with.

TMPGEnc 4XPress automatically sets a job's status to "Output Completed" once completed so it will not run again when the Encode button is pressed.

But I find there are often times when having completed a job, I want to alter some setting, perhaps alter an output file name or path slightly. Ultimately this resets the job status so it will run again, but there are times when I do not want this to happen.

All I can do is move such a job to the end of the queue, press "Encode" then abort the job.

Is there anyway to manually set job status to "Output Completed"?

So you want it in the queue, but you don't want to output it?

I would just not add it to the batch or remove it if you have no intention of encoding it.
Maybe I don't understand what the point is.

In any case, there isn't a way to set a job as completed. If you really have to have it in your queue and you want to output all the other files in the queue except that one, I would put it at the beginning of the list, start the encode and then click the Abort button for that file. The batch will continue to encode the following files in the list.

I was wondering what the max size of a divx file. SOme of my movies are being broken down into two files if they are bigger than 2.0g

I believe it was an old AVI restriction (which is what DivX is based on). Newer versions of the DivX codec can have larger files I think. Try downloading the latest DivX codec and use the AVI output format and select the DivX codec (i.e. don't use 4.0 XPress' preinstalled DivX output format). That should work.

1 - this update recognize CUDA on my PC (Win7), like the previuos one, but CUDA stay allaways 0% !!
2 - When added file in "source" tab, Xpress freeze, only taskmanager kill Xpress
3 - the "stop" button in "encodage" tab Xpress freeze also...

I will back to the previous version, where is the link to download it ?
