How to save First Pass Analysing Video for later use ?

I would like to run your software on a server that encodes video as they appear in a folder. Can I call your software via command line?

I don't think it's possible.

I have a MPEG1 file that can be played just fine, but I can't cut it after the 45 minute mark. For example, I can tell TMPEGEnc to make a new file that contains 00:05:00-00:06:00 or 00:15:00-00:19:00, but not a new file that contains 00:55:00-00:59:00 or 01:10:00-01:15:00 (I then get the aforementioned error, because it's a segment that is above 45:00).

Demuxing and re-muxing it made no difference (tried doing it in multiple programs), but I've finally managed to solve it via the exclusive "Repacketize" feature in M2-Edit Pro. Now it's editable in TMPGEnc. Why is that?

Is there a way to convert 1920x1080/60i mpeg-2(main@high profile) to mp4 avc - 24p without the jerky playback?


Thanks.

Yes, when you enter into the edit mode, go to filters, and make sure deinterlace is checked. Then you must set "24p (high-motion)" and "inverse pulldown" and then you can get rid of the jerky playback.

Hallo. I want editing files .TRP in HD format (not MPEG) that cames from my Clarke 5000 (Sat receiver with recording).
I convert TRP in M2TS and import it in TMPGENC XPRESS and I use tools for cut commercial spot.
At the end of the editing, I want save the new M2TS but without any format conversion, only a direct stream copy.
Is it possible ?
Thanks.

Exactly the same question, just cut HD MP4 satellite file and no conversion, how?

thanks

How do I open TMPGEncDVD Author 1.6 files with TMPGEncDVD Author 3 with DIVX Authoring? I keep getting a "not supported" message.

You can't. They aren't supported. Only 2.0 and above are supported.

TE4XP 4.5.2.255 German version.

I want to specify a GOP size of 15
I frames per GOP=1,
P-frames per GOP=5,
B-frames per GOP=2,(should be renamed B-frames per P-frame)
Max.frames per GOP=15,

I get out a stream with GOP size = 16.

No matter what I choose for max frames per GOP (like 1 through 30),
this value is not respected anymore.

I can have GOP size=13 with P-frames per GOP=4,
but not 15.

Was ok in earlier versions.

Instable after changing settings completely up and down.
Now testing with the same settings I=1 ;P=5 ;B=2 ;Max=15
and all I'm getting out is GOP size 13.(before it was 16.)

Furthermore: the outcoming GOP structure is not correctly represented anymore
by the IBBPBB...pattern window.

Only changes in I,P,B Open are reflected here, not Max.

But setting a max of 6 got me after encoding a GOP of 4
after checking in GSpot 2.70a.
So max setting does something, but not as expected.

Hi Guys, i just bought Tmpgen 4 express cuz i was tired of adobe media encoder. But my tmpng encoder is not readding my 24p footage and i always shoot in prgressive 24p @23.97 fram rate.Is there any i get to read my footge righ. I am also getting stroby feeling specially with movemnts. I don't get those things when i use adobe encoder. So pls help i am a newbie to this software. The reason i bough it cuz i heard a lot of good stuff about it.

I think there is a bug in TMPG 4.0 Xpress an rendering 24fps Progressive Video! :(

I'm having the same problem as you. I own a Panasonic Lumix FX-520 digital camera that shoots progressive QT Motion JPEG 30fps video and never had a problem. Now I upgraded to a Panasonic Lumix LX-3 digital camera that shoots progressive QT Motion JPEG 24fps video, and all my videos are jerky when converted in TMPG 4.0 Xpress, no matter the frame rate I try to choose and settings! :(

Hello!

Is it possible to start playing movie from divx menu with PLAY button? I only manage to do that with OK button on the remote control. For some reason I would realy like to have that.

Thanks for helping me :)

i use divx to encode the video. i simply choose multipass, first pass and encode the video and then multipass, nth pass and encode again, when i start to encode the nth pass it tells me that the file is already exist and overwrite the file. is it ok? is it the right way?

I have some video files with a black bar above and below the picture (videos were originally 16:9 aspect but have been reprocessed by Tunebite software into 4:3 aspect - hence the lines). I'm attempting to use TMPGEnc 4.0 Express to remove these lines out and restore the original 16:9 aspect by using the crop and resize filters. Using the Centre (Custom Size) facility on the resize filter I've set the picture size to 672 x 376 pixels, but when I proceed to the Format step, even though I set the aspect ratio to 16:9 on the Output Format screen, in the Format screen the only available pixel sizes are 720 x 576,704 x 576, 352 x 576, and 352 x 288, none of which seem to relate to a 16:9 aspect. When I run the Encode stage, the preview picture still has the black bars above and below (with 4:3 aspect set it is the same as the original Tunebite output, and in 16:9 the picture appears stretched). I was assured by TMPG before buying this programme that it would do this task, and this is what they told me: QUOTE "In the XPress 4 do the following: -At Filters window > choose Picture resize filter > then uncheck the 'Keep aspect ratio' option, but it's possible that the image becomes little bit stretched because the original aspect ratio is changed.(see screen shot).-Then encode your file and import it at Author 3." UNQUOTE. These seem to be incomplete instructions. Can anyone assist me, please?

First, I'm assuming your output format is PAL DVD based on the resolutions you mentioned.

For widescreen DVD's, it's not the number of pixels that make it widescreen, it's the pixel aspect ratio.
So open up the clip editing window for your clip, go to Clip Properties, and change the aspect ratio to "Pixel 16:11 (PAL 16:9)".
Then, in the Filters tab, crop out your black bars with the crop filter.
Then with the resize filter, set to "Center (Custom Size)", and set the dimensions to 720x576.
Now you can go to the Format stage, choose the PAL DVD format, and select 720x576 as your resolution. When you preview it, it should be widescreen without black bars.

That works fine! Thank you tkrave.

Hey guys,
I have an HD camcorder that records in AVCHD format. I have been usin TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress to convert the AVCHDs into a single .avi video file converted in divx format. When you do the converstion you can set many options to enhance quality sound etc... but it also allows you to set a resolution you want your .avi to come out. The avchd that i record is set to 1920x1080 on my camcorder which is too big of resolution for most normal TVs and Dvd players. When i did my trial conversion I set it 800x600 ... and that didnt work. dvd said doesnt support resolution. So can anyone help me out and tell me what the right resolution to set it to, to make .avi playable on my divx dvd player???

THANKS

Here is some thought i have put to this

Since the original resolution is 1920x1080 = 16:9 aspect ratio,
so i would downsize that to 720x405 = 16:9 which is still same aspect ratio,


or should i switch to 4:3 aspect ratio? and if i do, do i lose any image due to letterboxing?

so i figured best optimal size is 720x480 ... NTSC at 3:2 ratio.

How are you setting the 3:2 ratio?

If it's widescreen NTSC, I believe the pixel aspect ratio should be 40:33.

Are you using the DivX template or the AVI template in the Format stage?

Im using the divx template but it tells me to set the resolution.

720x480 is a 3:2 aspect ratio (720/3=240 ... 240x2=480)

40:33 aspect ratio would crop out a lot of the footage.

I'm talking about pixel aspect ratio, not the ratio of the resolution dimensions.

Changing it to 40:33 pixel aspect ratio will not crop anything; it will stretch the image to the correct 16:9 aspect ratio of your source file. Obviously, 720x480 is not a 16:9 ratio, so the DVD format(or in this case, the DivX format) stretches the pixels themselves to obtain the correct aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9.

So in the DivX format options, you'd set the Size to 720 x 480, and the Aspect ratio to "Pixel 40:33 (NTSC 16:9)". I'd use profile type "Home theater".
