Is there any information if NVENC hardware encoding (H.264) will be supported by TMPGenc Video Mastering Works in a near future or in any future? Are there any plans, timelines in the company regarding this?

Kindest regards!

NVENC is an alias for NVIDIA, so that should already be supported.

I don't think that the NVENC of the GK graphic card are use by TMPGEnc.
TMPGRENc use CUDA technology (Nvidia OpenCL). NVENc are the same technology like the QSV of the Intel Core Processor.

I have one large working Mpeg file. I need to make the one file into multiple files and put them onto CD,s. File is 5 hours long mpeg 1. I would like to break the file up into files to fit on a CD in one step. Making 5 video files at 700mb each so I can burn the full movie onto seperate disks. Is there anyway to do this in the final step to make your movie?

You can split your movie into 5 equal video clips in the cut editor.
Use the keyframe tool to set 5 keyframes equally apart.
Then go to each keyframe and set a split point.
Upon exiting the cut editor, choose to split and keep the blue and orange clips. You should now have 5 clips.
At output, choose to output each clip as a separate video.

The easiest way to make an MPEG that will fit on a CD is use a constant bitrate (CBR). This will allow you to know exactly how bit the output file will be. Adjust the bitrate until it will fit onto a CD.

Hi, I have a question so I bought via the internet software
TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 of its full version is 5.4.1.102 paying with VISA card in the amount of $ 112.48 now or in the options can I download the free plug-ins to that version of the software or any of them For instance plugin for AC3 5:1 hmmm I must be purchased separately .....?
Can somebody help me and explain what and how, I would appreciate it greatly for your help.
I'm sorry that some words can be confusing, but I do not know enough English to make it perfect to use when writing the message and I use the translator on the internet to be able to pass it on the forum here.

Plug-ins are not included and must be purchased separately.

You do not need the AC3 plug-in for Video Mastering Works 5 since it already has AC3 support.

After updating to Windows 8.1 Pro, video mastering works 5 will not open and hangs on "launching the application"

Works fine for me. Also using Windows 8.1 Pro. What version of TVMW5 are you using?

I have the latest from the download site. It was working fine on Windows 8 Pro then I updated to 8.1 Pro and all of a sudden it would not open. I have also just found out that Authoring 5(5.1.3.57) too is doing the same, stuck in "launching application" since last night

Now it has gone pass the launching application screen because I disabled my windows defender and even my firewall. I have also uninstalled both Video Master 5 and Authoring 5 and reinstalled both. BUT I cant add any clip, when I select add from file, nothing happens, just that my cursor start with the busy cursor revolving thing, but no window popup to select any file. This is happening to both programs

When I edit a .TS file and select DivX as the output if the resultant file is over 2 gigs, the excess amount is stored as a ".1" file. The problem is that the sound in this end file is way out of snyc. Is there a workaround for this?

Yes, stop using DivX. Its a codec that was abandoned years ago by most people, because of the to meny encoding problems there is with it.
The old DivX users switched to Xvid instead, which is also possible to use, if the codec is on your computer, if not, download the codec and install it:
http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html

Then when it comes to output, choose AVI and you get a list of AVI codecs you can use, where Xvid then also will be located.

Thank you for you kind reply.

I've tried a number of conversions using Xvid and found that the quality of each frame is not quite as good as the newest DivX version (loosely based around H-264). Also, I'm trying to compress a LOT(!!) of old movies so .avi is out of the question because of the much larger resultant file size. I guess I'll just have to use meg2, which allows four to five movies on a BluRay disk, instead of 10 to 12 with higher compression codec's.

I use TS files directly to create Blu-ray discs. That way its easy to put 2-3 HD movies on one disc with out having to lower the bitrate.
I never create Blu-ray's out of SD recordings. Those TS files i instead store on a USB harddrive, which i then use my WD TV Live Hub to access, so i can watch these movies on my TV.

I've switched to .mkv file structure and it works great. I store between 8 and 11 full length movies as data files on a 25GB bluray disk; which our Samsung BluRay plays play perfectly. Works well!

This is fairly complicated so bear with me...

I have a music video clip that has a few sections it which I would like to crop so that the image is zoomed in during those sections, but the rest of the clip remains the way it was. I know how to crop so it's easy enough to create sub-clips that are zoomed in, but what I am unsure of how to do best is how to assemble those sub-clips together in such a way to have nice video crossfades in them but no audio crossfading. I tried using timeline mode but in order to get a nice video crossfade, but the clips have to be overlapped to get crossfading and that also crossfades the audio, which I do not want.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

In Timeline mode, you can just turn off the audio for the edited layers. So basically have one layer that has the full, unedited video and use that for your audio.

Thanks tkrave. What I find is in order for there to be crossfades (or any transitions for that matter) between the edited clips, you have to overlap them in timeline mode, and when you do that, the final video clip is shorter than the original, unedited clip by the total of all the crossfades. Granted, I don't want long crossfades between clips (around 1 second each I am guessing would be good) but even just a couple 1 second crossfades then results in the video being 2 seconds shorter than the audio. This makes a lot of sense when you think about...that crossfades will shorten the video. I am not sure what else to try.

OK -- I seem to have found a good compromise. What I did was, in timeline mode, I lengthened the duration of the first edited clip to make up for the shortened video that resulted from the crossfade into the 2nd edited clip. Lengthening the duration of a first edited clip clip to make it longer than the source freezes the last frame, which then is not really noticeable during a short .75 second or so crossfade into the 2nd edited clip.

any idea when hevc encoding will be added? strongene and divx already have an encoder and there's also x265.

when can we expect to see this feature?

also, how about adding vp9 encoding support?

hi,

i just downloaded your latest trial of video mastering works 5 and the install fails with a popup that says

"the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package tvmw5enttrial.msi"

anyone know why this is happening?

I'm trying to put a static mask on an entire video clip, but the mask filter only affects the first frame of video. I try to set the range to the end of the video, but the "set current frame" button does nothing. Why wouldn't a mask affect the entire video by default?

Are you in Timeline mode? I think it's easier to use the mask filter in the timeline mode. The mask will have its own timeline which you can easily adjust the duration.

I am trying to convert my blu-ray collection to MKVs for viewing on my media centre. I have one blu-ray that has 4 audio tracks on. Yet when I import it in to MW5 it only allows me to have 1 audio track, I can choose which one, but not all of them. 2 are PCM and 2 are Dolby Digital.

How do I make all 4 audio tracks be encoded ? MKV's can have multiple tracks.

Thanks.

You can't with this software, it only supports one audio track. I don't even suggest that you use it for ripping purposes, simply due to how slow it works and the problems there will be due to copy protections.

I suggest that you purchase a propper ripping software, who is able to add multiple audio tracks and also has a much better CUDA and DXVA hardware acceleration support, because this cuts the ripping time of a Blu-ray movie by nearly 75%. My tip there is DVDFab 9 because of how fast it works when hardware acceleration is being used.

You can make the video and audio separately and merge them in a MKV file with MKVMergeGUI software.

Ok, so I'm trying to do a project where it contains multiple audioless mpg video files and Ogg audio files. The problem is that TMPGEnc VMW5 can't read some of the Ogg audio files properly. For some reason the files that can't be read properly are shortened to 1 second length. So for instance, I have one ogg file that is 13 sec long and another ogg file that is 10 sec long. If I add the 13s length audio file to my project, it can play the audio fine. But for what ever reason, when I add the 10s audio file, it will shorten to 1s length and it plays no sound. Anyone have an idea to a solution that might fix this problem?

Try to recode the problematic audio files to uncompressed WAV with an audio encoding tool.

Is there any hope that there will be an update to use .mst files from Sony videocameras? Right now I can import them, despite the warning it can`t read them, but the preview window stutters enormously and the footage afterwards is nowhere near the expected 1080p quality.
I`ll have to give handbrake a try to convert it, but it would be nice if TMPGEnc could handle it by itself. Thank you for the attention!

Do you mean .mts files? If so, I convert them to H264 using Roxio Toast (Apple software). I figure that Roxio Creator (PC software) does the same thing. I agree that it would be nice if TMPGEnc could handle it by itself.

And when they also are at it, then they also need to take a look at the support for WebM video files.
Its shown there is suppose to be support for it, but my experience is that its not supported.
I tested several Youtube downloaded videos, that was downloaded as .webm files by WM Recorder 14, but neither of them can be opened.
