If you mean "losslessly" then no. TMPGEnc Smart Renderer 4 will do that, although it is not an advanced editor/converter like Mastering Works. Check the product page for details.
I purchased a license and installed my product on a Windows XP machine. That machine was just replaced by a Windows 7 64-Bit machine. I logged on to my account and downloaded the TVMW 5. However which I try running the installer it tells me that it is not compatible with my system. However when I go to the support site, it says the TVWM 5 is compatible with Windows 7 64-Bit. I can find no way to download a different version of the product that is 64-Bit compatible. It's very frustrating to have paid for this product and not be able to install it.
It should work. I've used it on Win7 64-bit with no issues. It might be something other than the OS that is incompatible. What are your system specs? Screen resolution?
I agree, it should work. I am also using Windows 7 64-bit. Both TVMW5 and TAW5 is fully operational. When istalling TVMW5, it automatically created a Pegasys Inc folder in the (x86) software folder, to where TAW5 also decided to install it self.
Perhaps there are other issues. Try to create a folder in the root directory of your C drive just called Downloads. Then try to download the installer file once more, this time to the Downloads folder you created and then try to install it from there.
I wanted to do some interlacing repair on a .ts file i have recorded from 1080i HDTV with 25fps. But what i found out was that there is a problem with rendering. I got huge green fields of pixel errors in the image no matter what i tried. I tried both the .ts importer and the 'as is' to use my external renderers instead.
But opening the .ts file in Corel VideoStudio Pro X5 and trying do some repair there instead, everything was just fine, no green pixel fields.
Something weird is going inside TVMW 5, who causes these green fields of pixel errors on 1080i 25fps HDTV recordings.
Does the file play normally on a software player? If so, you should report the issue directly to the product's support page. This is a user-to-user support forum.
The .ts file play just fine on both my software and hardware players, though showing the interlacing errors i wanted to repair, but support had been contacted now about this matter.
I'm using Virtualdub with subtitles filter to enbedd Chinese Karaoke text onto the video. I have been frameserving it to TMPEGenc Plus 2.521 for many years without problem. Now I upgrade it to TVMW5, I have no problem to frameserve, I can even play the video clip freely at <Edit> level, but when I try to export it to a standard DVD files it said the file type is not supported. Why?
I must use SAA subtitles files, SRT can't work for me. Is there any way to embed SAA subtitles within TVMW5?
I wrote also to their customer servive / technical support,unfortunately they just keep asking some irrelavant and isolated questions. I seems to me that they just trying to talking away the problem and not trying to understand my problem. When I tell them my feeling, they stopped response to me.
Here is the workaround I found: Frameserve from Virtualdub as usual to a file XXX.vdr, [ then open this file using TMPEGen Plus 2.521 , Output XXX.mpg (any format, it doesn't matter), then save Project as XXX.tpr,] now just open XXX.tpr from TVM5 and it works! Next time you can skip those step in [].
I am wanting to purchase Video Mastering Works. The reason I am waiting is I had recently purchased MOVAVI (a competitor in the transcoding package market) It turned out that MOVAVI was not fully able to function with the newer NVIDIA Kepler architecture. CUDA transcodes were not working properly. I ended up with a refund and would like to verify that Video Mastering Works can handle Kepler based NVidia products. I have the GTX680 GeForce series currently installed and I am also using a matrox Compress HD H.264 encoder. I am using your Karma application with both devices and it has been buggy with the thumbnail generating and crashes after several hours of non use. Is there an issue with the Kepler device architecture and the CUDA encoding package provided with the TMPEG products? or am I safe to go ahead with the purchase now
Tmpg is usually optimized for Intel and NVidia, and everything else that is not AMD. Pegasus or Tsunami software prefers Nividia's kuda over AMDs OpenCl. Tsunami's favorite architectures are Kepler, Fermi, Oppenheimer and Einstein!!. So if you have any amd in your system forget about getting support. I've tried that before - just once -and gave up. I kept this purchase on hold for years and years because I didn't see support for amd coming anytime soon. Finally I went ahead and bought it over Vegas (maybe I had one too many and dint know which page I was on). Now I hardly use this and prefer 'AVS'es simpler interface with output quality equaling the best and at speed too.
This tmpg thingy goes along fine with kuda (prefer K to C), there wont be any crashes.
You can in Preferences/MPEG Decoder select MPEG-4 AVC Video Decoder to CUDA Hardware (MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 is better by Standar Decoder), by this way you use your CPU and nvidia card too for decoding MPEG-4 AVC files ;-)
Thanks for this information but i am using the MasterWork 5 Software, normaly that include this feature ?! no ?
I don't understand why i need another software editor... or i am missing something... i think the smart rendering should be include in the full sofware version... it's only a direct stream copy...
I think i will continue to use Handbrake for BlueRay Rip and VirtualDub for direct stream copy... it's harm...
Mastering Works 5 is meant to be used as an encoder/converter; the editing functions are secondary to that. Since editing, filtering, etc. requires re-encoding anyway, there's no reason TVMW5 shouldn't have those functions.
MPEG Smart Renderer is primarily for editing MPEGs which is why smart rendering is central to that program.

There is a free copy of TMPEGen Plus 2.525 available from download, it believe it works too.

Is it possible to use the color correction filter in the timeline, with key frames? For example, to gradually change colors (between start/end keyframes)?
I don't think you can with the timeline filters.
I would duplicate the clip and apply the color correction filter (in the cut editor) to that. Then you can do the transition like any other transition.
Thanks, it works (also tried with split) but I can't get the result to show as "one video", it seems a new video is started (there is no 100% continuity, not sure how to explain this), so the effect is not totally natural (tried the crossfade transition).
No, it's standard mode. You are right, the final output is smoother but still the transition "merges" the 2 videos, and this merger process is visible, not seamless. (I split a 7-sec video in half [2 parts], made the 2nd video b&white and added a 2-sec crossfade.)
I was up-converting some of my 720p .mkv files and ran into a little snaffu when Video Mastering 5 decided it didn't like a couple of them, and stumped the hell out of me when I was comparing upcoversions I had done vs. these pesky ones looking for anything that might have been different. Nada...
So, on a whim, I decided to try mkvmerge (didn't change a damn thing), and low and behold, problem solved.
If you run across some of your files that for whatever reason, Video Mastering 5 says it can't open, mux 'em.
I am using the latest version of Mastering Works 5 and trying to encode in to DVD MPG2 format. For some reason it is not going above 30% for CPU usage, staying mainly around 25%. I reset my PC thinking it was at fault so I got a fresh start with nothing else loaded, but same happens. I can't encode 2 files at once in the batch encode list because it says I am using the AC3 Digital Encoder already.
Why is it going so slow ? I have a i7 PC so was hoping for lightning quick speeds on the encode, this is no faster than my old PC, it is wasting 70% of my CPU.
good morning did you use intel quicksync or Nvidia cuda ?
I have a i7 and he doesn't work more than 30% the rest of the work was made by my GPU You can this that in encoding , line status (CPU= xx%, CUDA= xx%)
Also very important are the HD... Is your HD is not faster, your CPU and graphic card wait to him. You can to use RAID 0 HD or SSD.
I use 2 SSD. Decoding from first SSD and Encoding to second SSD. By this way I can recode until 4 video files at time without problems.
For example, encode 4 video files (DVD quality and about 60 min. each video) to 4 video files MPEG4 AVC (720x480 Progresive and bitrate 4000) in 11 min 40 seg ;-)
i had buyed a few days before the spurs engine plug in for TAW5.
i have a cuda-based card in my pc.
but thats not the card, that is supported by your spurs engine, i had found out.
now i want to buy a spurs-engine supported card, but NOTHING to find !!
it seems, that this few cards are not any longer made.
it seems, that they exist around 2008-2010 and were then out of print.
so it seems, that i had payed a few bucks FOR NOTHING ???
why you offer a software, that is useful for nothing ?
Where i can BUY a spurs-engine supported card (in germany) ?
which actual cards support the spurs-engine ?
Does this (older) cards work under win 7 or 8 32/64 ?
do drivers exist ?
i hope, i get really good answers, that bring me forward...?!?
As you now know, CUDA and SpursEngine are not the same thing.
SpursEngine cards are not made anymore as far as I know, but I assume people still own spursengine devices, so I'm assuming that is why they still sell the plugin.
You might want to try ebay or something if you want to buy one.
I had a spursengine card a while ago and it worked fine on Windows 7.
CUDA+SPE= SPEED, OK ~1:1
CPU+SPE=ITS NOT BAD 1,5:1
CPU+X264= BEST, BORED 4~6:1
REQUEST DECODER FOR SPURSENGINE IN PREVIEW (TAW5+TVMW5+TMS+TMSR4)
SPEP_DEC+SPEP_ENC = BEST SUPER RESOLUTION, BEST ENCODER HARDWARE,
NO MORE MATRIX YUV DECODER FROM "passthru" PEGASYS,
ONLY DECODER+ENCODER DIRECT PROCESS COLOR PROFILE
AND PLAYER SOFTWARE BLURAY DVD SPURSENGINE "SPEP2"
(EXAMPLE: TOSHIBA QOSMIO SPURSENGINE SOFTWARE PLAYER)
SPURSENGINE CARD NO COMPATIBLE PCI-E QPI,
ONLY FSB SOUTHBRIDGE COMPATIBLE AMD INTEL
