TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6 BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
Running ASUS Z10PE-D8, 2x Xeon E5-2699, 64GB memory and W8.1 64bit. When I enable the NVIDIA CUDA option associated to the K6000 can successfully encode in H.264/AVC & NVENC mode.
Q1. When I start VMW6 I get message "Cannot use the NVEC encoder currently because it was not able to verify the availability of the NVENC encoder. Is this normal?
Q2. When the K40c is selected, I do not get the option of selecting NVENC as the Video Encoder?
It's similar to animation in the timeline; you select a clip, then in the properties panel, activate Time Remap. The Time Remap layer will appear and you can add keypoints to change the speed at certain points. See the help file for more info: http://help.pegasys-inc.com/en/tvmw6/03220.html#08
I have been using TMPGVMW5 for a few years now and recently purchased TMPGVMW6.
I tried to replicate the work that I have done previously in VMW5 using VMW6. Primarily I reencode 720p/59.94 AVI files to MP4 to author Blu-ray discs.
Here is the Media info for an example input file:
Format : AVI
Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave
Format profile : OpenDML
File size : 639 GiB
Duration : 1h 43mn
Overall bit rate : 888 Mbps
Video
ID : 0
Format : YUV
Codec ID : UYVY
Codec ID/Info : Uncompressed 16bpp. YUV 4:2:2 (Y sample at every pixel, U and V sampled at every second pixel horizontally on each line). A macropixel contains 2 pixels in 1 u_int32.
Duration : 1h 43mn
Bit rate : 884 Mbps
Width : 1 280 pixels
Height : 720 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 59.940 fps
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:2
Compression mode : Lossless
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 16.000
Stream size : 636 GiB (100%)
In VMW5 I use the following settings:
Output Stream Type - MPEG-2 Transport (VBR)
Format - Blu-ray (BDMV) - MPEG-4 AVC
Profile - High @ Auto (Level 4.1)
Rate control - VBR
Setting - 2-pass
Entropy coding - CABAC
Performance - very slow
Output Multiplexer - Sytem (Video + Audio)
When it is done I get a file like the following:
(Please ignore the sizes as this output is not from the input file listed above)
Format : MPEG-TS
File size : 20.6 GiB
Duration : 2h 7mn
Overall bit rate mode : Variable
Overall bit rate : 23.2 Mbps
When I do the same thing in VMW6 I use the following (not all of the options have the same names).
System Stream Format - MPEG-2 Transport (HDMV)
Format - Blu-ray (BDMV) - H.264/AVC
Profile - High @ Auto (Level 4.1)
Rate control - VBR
Setting - 2-pass
Entropy coding - CABAC
Performance - very slow
Output Stream Type - Sytem (Video + Audio)
When it is done I get a file like the following:
Format : BDAV
Format/Info : Blu-ray Video
File size : 20.4 GiB
Duration : 2h 7mn
Overall bit rate mode : Variable
Overall bit rate : 23.0 Mbps
Maximum Overall bit rate : 36.3 Mbps
I noticed that the video quality is lower in VMW6. I see more blockiness and noise around the edges of the faces in the video.
Looking at the differences in output files I see a few things.
VMW5 VMW6
Format MPEG-TS : BDAV
Video
Id 512 (0x200) : 4113 (0x1011)
I do not know what the change in format or video id means? I believe I am using the same settings, but it looks like it is using a different container format?
As for the x.264 encoder settings they are almost the same as well except for a few.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong in VMW6? Why is my output format different and why is the video quality lower?
I want to get video of the same quality as I was getting in VMW5. I might have to go back to using it.
One thing I noticed is that VMW6 is faster than VMW5. Using the very slow setting I get 9 1/2 hours to re-encode ~2 hours of video. With VMW6 with very slow it took 6 hours to re-encode ~2 hours of video.
Can you make those x.264 settings the same? That QPmin in particular should be changed to the same as in v5. Lower numbers there create lower quality. It stands for Minimum Quantization Parameter.
I am not sure if I can change those settings. I exclusively use the normal user interface. It appears they have changed the settings in the x.264 encoder behind the scenes. By that I mean if I chose the same setting knobs in the user interface, the commands passed to x.264 are different.
Is there a way for me to change what gets passed to x.264 by hand?
As it is I am very disappointed in VMW6 and will never use the product. I am also very disappointed in the support I am being given by Pegasys with this issue.
A carry-over question from version 5:
Is there a way to sort the list of saved custom output templates by name? As I add templates, it gets more difficult to find the ones I have saved; they seem to be listed in order-of-creation.
Oh, and for what it's worth: the flat UI skin is just fine. The layout is a bit improved, and you still beat Adobe in terms of flexibility and output quality.
When importing H.265 TS file using TS import TVW6 reports the file to be H.264.
However when I import same file "as is" it imports VRY slowly but with success.. I find everything happens very slowly but have the program just 1 hour
I have one desktop computer with Windows Vista running VMW5 and a laptop with Windows 8. Can I install the VMW6 upgrade on the Win8 Laptop and still keep running VMW5 on the desktop? Obviously I won't be running both at the same time. I'm a long time customer and own just about all of your products. Cheers.
If you upgrade, your TVMW5 license will be terminated. If you want to keep using TVMW5, you will have to do their User Discount option. It's still cheaper than buying TVMW6 at full price.
If you do that, then yes, you'll be able to use both programs, and at the same time.
Unfortunately, I see that detecting .srt subtitle tags (italic/bold etc.) has not been implemented once again. A pity. It's quite an expensive upgrade so I don't think I'm convinced yet. 10-bit support is great, 4K/8K useless for most home users, and the new skin/UI is appalling. Please consider adding the .srt tags.
Let's begin our journey to the new "6" world.
Announcing the upcoming release of the successor to TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5,
English version of TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6.
Preview trial version released today!
The download version will be released on May 13th, 2015.
----------------------------------------------------
The Concept
----------------------------------------------------
We at Pegasys think it's very close to the next era where people will view video in 4K & 8K in their everyday lives. This is what determined our next mission, which is to provide a new tool that makes it possible to edit and create 4K and 8K movies easily for any videographer.
This is the concept, and what strongly motivated us to develop a powerful encoder tool as the next generation of video mastering works.
----------------------------------------------------
The new software supports 8K video output with H.265/HEVC, and features newly added powerful functions.
----------------------------------------------------
TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6 features support for many input and output formats, detailed parameter settings, fast and precise cut-editing, video format conversion, compression, material creation, and much more. This is the high-quality encoding choice of video enthusiasts - this is TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6.
The brand new "6" supports "HEVC" output - a new format for the 4K and 8K generation, and 10-bit 4:2:2/4:4:4 H.264/AVC output. The simplified GUI uncomplicates the encoding process and settings, while the newly added automatic bit-rate calculator and other new functions reduce the work hours for editing and output. Newly featured filters such as Chroma Key and Timelapse allow for more creativity. Improved Timeline Edit Mode makes video creation and editing even easier. This is the ultimate progression of the all-in-one solution concept and enhances the productivity of a wide range of users from consumers to prosumers.
Let's begin our journey to the new "6" world.

Try TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6 today and have a great weekend!
Just trying the trial and you've made some quite nice internal changes (much better panel use, new formats etc.). But... what's up with that new flat skin? Oh, it's awful and a huge step backwards from the previous version (which I think was worse than v4 but not this bad). Take a look at the start/welcome screen below, feels like it's coming from a ZX Spectrum. Please improve this, no need for yet another company to follow Microsoft's 'Metro' style failure of a trend.
Love version 6, Love the fact you now have DivX HEVC, Hate the fact that Video Master Works 6 does not support Dolby Digital With DivX HEVC like Rovi and Main Concept Total Code software actually does!
I made some HEVC encodes from my H.264 MP4 ultraHD files. It took 10X real time and the GPU (GTX970) was not used at all. I had the cuda enabled and optimized. So, as I understand it there is no hardware acceleration for HEVC in the program? I have a Haswell 6 core CPU with 32Gb RAM.
I found out that my CPU has not the Intel Quick video sync or HD Graphics driver for no understandable reason. I managed to speed up the encodes to 4X real time in the FORMAT section. If I get a CPU with 4th or 5th gen HD Graphics, will the hardware acceleration for HEVC work?
First impressions regarding encoding speed and use of NVENC and Intel Quick Sync facilities.
My system is Windows 8.1 64 bit Professional.
16 GB RAM.
3 1TB HD
Geforce GTX 660.
Core i7 3770 (4000 Intel HD graphics)
Encoding H264 (Blu-ray and Mpeg4) from DVD files (720x576 resolution)
1) Blu-ray file quality encoding time using Intel QSV is AT LEAST twice the
time using TMPGEnc Video Authoring Works 5, which I also use in this system.
2) It DOES NOT use NVENC for serious encoding (Blu-ray etc). According to my opinion this is a VERY SERIOUS flaw and should be rectified ASAP. I was SO surprised by it, that at first I thought your software COULD NOT detect my discrete graphics card.
3) For not serious encoding, using NVENC is slower than competitive software producing H264 Blu Ray quality production using the same file.
Conclusively, despite the obvious and very positive changes of the interface and all added features, the conversion speed and limited graphic resources usage is a seriously limiting factor.
Another useful feature that has not been implemented: "audio pass-through", meaning that when encoding a video file with audio, audio will have to be either re-encoded (even if it's already of bad/medium quality) or not encoded at all. The user will have to mux everything back increasing encoding time significantly.
Following my negative comments, I'll add a positive one. A higher quality deinterlacer has been added to v6, which is indeed excellent news and performs very well.
