I've looked through the topics and I don't think I found this one.

My problem
I have a two hour concert that I added chapter breaks to in between songs

I want a title page that says "play all" and "song selection"

if you click "song selection" it takes you to the next page and shows the list of songs(chapters) and you can click whatever song(chapter) you want to watch.

I keep getting a page for each chapter instead of just one page listing all the chapters. I don't need thumbnails either, just the name of the song

thanks

Jon, I have done this same exact thing several times. When I get home tonite, I will try and document the steps for how I did it.

thanks!
I'll check back later. :)

Here is what I did. First off, I have just one long track that I edited and split into several chapters. I am going to assume that the menu has not yet been created.

- Click the "Menu" button.

- Select the 2nd option, "Create a custom menu..." and click Next.

- Select "Structure the menu in classic mode" amd click Next.

Across the top you will see a row of the various menus and other basic elements of the menu you will create. Highlight them one at a time and below you will see the various types of options for the selected menu or element. You'll then have to choose the option for the Top menu you like. For the Trac menu, choose one that is just text and has enough chapters shown to cover the chapters you have. If you select one that has less, you will get more than one track menu. Make your desired selections for your Navigation button, Thumbnail frame, and Background and then click Next.

- Select "Top and track menu" on the next screen and click Next.

- Choose the desired settings on the next screen that control what happens when the disc is inserted and track playback ends. Click OK.

You should now just get a top menu and a track menu. If you get more than one track menu, start over again by clicking the "Launch Menu Wizard" button and then selecting "Yes". This time try a Track menu thumbnail that has more chapters shown on it. It took me several tries to get mine right, and once I did I saved the menu as a template for later use on other similar projects.

Hope this helps!

That looks to be it! Thanks!!

Hello!


Where can be found a full, and actual list, that contains all of NVIDIA VGA cards, which cards support the CUDA technology (with TMPEG 4.0 XPress naturally)?


Thanks

Here's the list of CUDA-ready VGA cards:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_learn_products.html

As for being compatible with 4.0 XPress...it seems that only the GeForce8800 GTX/GTS video card using the G80 core is the only one NOT supported so far.

I have a 8800GTS and the CUDA dialog is NOT enabled even if the card is CUDA 2.0 and drivers are the correct version!

any idaea ?

Hello!

I use TMPGENC 4.0 XPress with NVIDIA CUDA support.
I have a simple, low-cost Geforce 8400 GS VGA with 256 MB RAM.
If I switch on the CUDA in TMPGENC, the encoding speed of TMPGENC is faster, circa 10% (90% CPU, 10 % GPU).

My question: if I buy a new, stronger VGA card, with better GPU-the speed-increasing will be higher?


Thanks!

I think that if you have a powerful CPU the CUDA features are not used, that is why there is no difference in the speed, I guess this CUDA features are maily to be used for filtering functions.
good luck

I've reinstalled the program multiple times and I still receive this error every time I try to start a new project. The program just doesn't work.

I did some searching and the error may be related to windows media player DRM. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb614711.aspx

So you get this error before you can even import any files?
Have you contacted support about this error?

i have the same problem i think. I start TMPGEnc and i get an error message like the one you got. This was happening with version3 and then i installed version 4 and rebooted and got the same problem

"At address 6795515C, read error occurred against address 6795515C"

I have also run a checkdsk and a defrag with no results.

Have the same problem like hello said program does not work i can't even start a new project now i hope they refund or fix this never had a problem with their software before :(

Hi,

when I'm encoding with Mpeg2 Decoding for Cuda activated the app crashes every time. I've read the remark about the Mpeg2 decoding result. But it's just unusable.

Hi,

Which version of the NVIDIA driver are you using?

tried official WHQL 180.48 and Beta 180.70 doesn't matter which one - the result is the same

Well,

The problem seems to be existant on all Geforce cards, with a common deliminator of the hardware accelerated MPEG2 decoding.

The problem is that TMPGEnc seems to be trying to do the decoding using CUDA, which in fact it does not need to as it is supported in Hardware via the driver interfaces.

Decoding MPEG2 in Hardware via CUDA is not the best method and probably not supported anyways.

Hi, when I'm encoding my GTX-280 is clocking down to the 2D-Clock rates, resulting in a much longer rendering process (the estimated rendering time goes up)

normaly this clock down is controled by the workload but it clocks down anyway.

Is this a bug or a driver related problem?

It's a driver issue related to the power system regulator of the GTX200 series.

The latest drivers 181.22 address this issue but you also have to have 'preview' ON while decoding because the card ups the clock for videos and games but not just for basic desktop use which is how it is supposed to be. As long as you have these drivers and turn on 'preview' the card will use full speed to decode.

Hi there,

I am thinking about buying TMPGEnc Xpress to encode stuff from native HD resolution to a resolution that fits my TV best (HD Ready, 1366x768).
Until now the only optioin I found is DIVX HD 1280x700 - is there any way
to create a H.264 (or maybe a DIVX) with the above mentioned size settings?

I simply want to avoid that my TV is "upscaling" from 1280x720 by feeding it it's native resolution.

Thanks!

It's possible with DivX if you select "Do not use profile" for the Output profile type.

I've also been able to set this resolution for the MPEG-4 AVC (h.264) format.

It did however, change the 1366 to 1368 for some reason.

I have video and i want to cut this vedio to small parts like:
i want to cut it to 4 parts and every part nearly two minutes .
How can i save those 4 parts .
see the photo:

You simply split your clips in the cut-edit window. Then in the Format stage, select "Multiple file output" as the output mode.

To split your clip, use the clip split button in the Cut-edit window. The clip split button has an icon that looks like this:
<-|->
(two arrows and a bar in the middle).

Use the clip split button to set the split point. Then click "OK". A clip split window appears. Click on the "Split" button to register each division as a separate clip.

Just to make sure according to the info on this site, CUDA is only enable to help with video filters right? not encoding the video itself? Because I tried to have CUDA ecoding my videos at its 100% and so far my cpu is doing most of the work (81%) and CUDA buzzling at 19%. I didn't have any filter checked. My laptop comes with geforce 8600m GS with latest forceware. Plz clarify!

Yes, Cuda is only enabled for video filters and MPEG-1/2 decoding. So if you're not doing either of those, the output time will not be accelerated such as in the example you gave.

I have just downloaded the free version and the tutorial I am following for my project says to go to the environmenal screen under the option drop down list, but there isn't any envonmental button there. Has anyone else had this problem? I downloaded my copy of that site and I've dl'd it again here but the same thing keeps happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think they mean "Preferences". It was probably a bad translation that was fixed with a more recent version of the software.

i have a MPEG-2 Files with the same resolution and same Audio and same Bitrate
i want to Merge tham without to encoder tham
TMPGEnc CAN DO THIS?
if yes, how i do that?
which option to mark?

TMPGENC WORK WITH VISTA?

here the Picture after i do File > MPEG Tools... > Merge & Cut
http://up39.siz.co.il/up3/demzo5gjktyn.png
no Audio
No same bitrate
i use TMPGEnc-2.524.63.181-Free
in TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress i dont find the "Merge & Cut"

I don't think you can merge MPEG files without re-encoding them with TMPGEnc free or TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress. Try TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3; it has what they call Smart Rendering which does minimal re-encoding.

with VOBMerge 2.5 i dont need to re-encoding the files
this is free software
Thank you anyway

I compile a DivX Ultra project. I add several videoclips from DVD-video. I chose not to import chapter entry points. Then I chose Chapter menu from template. In Link Editor I made sure all the chapters have proper links. During Simulation all chapters played correctly. Then I output my progect as *.divx. But when I opened the ready *.divx in Divx Player and chose to play chapter 2(x), the player always started with chapter 1, no matter which chapter I choose. Why can it be so?

Got the same problem here. Been in contact with DiVX "Support", filed numerous bug reports and all I get is that it's a problem in the DiVX Player. It's on their To-Do list...

It's almost a year since I filed the first bugreport, I've requested updates every quarter or so. But it's always the same negative answer.

What really upsets me is that they advertise that it has chapter support but it's never worked! How can you claim something when it's obviously not working?!
My bet is that they don't know how to fix it...

I think this really is just a DivX Player problem and not a problem with Authoring Works 4. If I remember correctly, chapters worked fine on my friend's DivX Ultra DVD player. I'll try and make sure when I have the chance.

The problem is Divx player, before DivXInstaller 6.8.2.8,that divx player works very well with chapter support. You should ask divx company to fix this problem. Anyway, I already complained that problem without any response.
