Just had a quick question I was hoping someone could help me with.

I use TMPGEnc to burn DVDs, and I’ve generally been satisfied with it. Starting today I have encountered a problem I have never seen before.

When I attempt to burn a DVD, the whole process appears to proceed as normal. It takes the usual amount of time, it appears to be doing what it’s usually doing, it tells me it’s been completed successfully, etc.

But the DVD itself remains (apparently) blank. I put it in and it does not play, and when I check the contents of that drive when it is inserted, it shows nothing.

I’m wondering if it has something to do with how it’s interacting with Windows. I have Windows XP, and while I have burned DVDs successfully since I’ve had that, I know there are frequent automatic Windows updates, and maybe one of those changed something that’s screwed up TMPGEnc.

Or if it’s something I intentionally did, I think I know the most likely culprit. A few days ago, for I think the first time, I burned a CD using whatever comes with Windows XP. I don’t remember the exact process, but I remember I used Windows rather than any additional software like TMPGEnc.

Could it be that that somehow reconfigured something on my computer to where when a blank something is placed in that drive, it can only do something with it through Windows and blocks any other software like TMPGEnc?

In any case, how do I reset it so TMPGEnc is again able to communicate with my computer so I can burn DVDs?

I have an HD movie, 2hrs 40 min in length, 29.97fps, 1280*1088, 16:9, that i want to resize to 720*480. I have no filters set, the movie is progressive, so no conversion to or from interlaced, I am not rendering audio as it is ac3, as I do not have the plug-in, set vbr max 9000, min 2000, DC component precision set to 10, and motion estimate search selected. No other changes have been made. I have enabled all the CPU settings. I am running this on a P4 3.06ghz, 2gb ram, 500gb SATA 300 drive.

When I start the rendering, TPMG shows a time of 21h 16m. After 8 hours running with highest priority, and all other processes disabled, there is still 11h 33 min to go. This seems unusually long, as ffmpeg rendered this clip with audio in just under 1 hour. Have I missed something in the settings, or have a bad codec installed with TMPG? I have been through any of the threads here that relate to performance, and cannot see my error. Any ideas?

thanks

Hi
I got a big problem with background audio in TSUNAMI-MPEG DVD Author PRO 2

I created top menu and track menu. When I select a background audio for them (the same song for both) the song starts to play at top menu but when I switch to track menu it is starting to play from the beginning. Even when I switch to second page of track menu it's starting again. It's totally stupid. Is there any way to set the song start playing at top menu and continue on othet menus and pages??

If not this is a huge bug within this software.

Its not a bug with the program, it wasn't meant to be continuous through out the entire menu. Most commercial DVD can't even do that so you might be asking for too much.

Hi all, please, i need the serial number to TMPGEnc DVD Author 2.0

Thanks

TMPGEnc no longer sells TDA2 serial numbers. You can buy a TDA3 serial number from their website or various other sites:

Kindly advise the ways to convert a corrupted VCD to a mpeg 1 file.

If Xpress 4.0 can't import the file, then you'll have to use some other program. Check this page out at videohelp.com:

If that doesn't help, someone on that forum may be able to help you.

I have several AVI files in which the audio is unreadable by TMPGEnc 2.5. AVIcodec shows the following for one particular file:

File: 350 MB (350 MB), duration: 0:43:36, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 50 %, transcode-1.0.2, ,
Video: 310 MB, 995 Kbps, 23.976 fps, 624*352 (16:9), XVID = XVID Mpeg-4, Supported
Audio: 39 MB, 128 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3, CBR, , Supported

Each of the files I am dealing with are branded "transcode-1.0.2." Does anyone know how I can get TMPGEnc to read the audio in these files?

I open TMPGEnc and when I try to add any video (but i mostly do Windows Media Center TV-recorded videos and it freezes right away. The edit video window does not even open, it freezes and says this program doesn't answer. It works sometimes though, the edit window opens and everything is fine, then the next video freezes again. It un-freezes if I wait 5/6 minutes. Help would be nice. I'm using v4.2.3.193 though I have tried a more recent version and still got the same problem, and Windows Vista 32bit.

The version you are using is not fully Vista-compatible. Download the latest version (4.2.10.211) here:

http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/te4xp.html

Hi, when I download and try to install the templates, I get the following error:

TMPGEnc DVD Author Pro 2 is not installed (1)

Why won't they install?

Will TMPGEnc.4.0.XPress run under Vista 32 bit? Is there a upadte for Vista? Thanks!

The Vista compatible version was released on Feb 22, 2007. Download it here:

Does TMPGenc free work in Windows Vista?
Thank you!

Hello,
I'm using tmpgenc plus 2.5 and I have installed the pdvcodec(DV-AVI)from Panasonic. But in the videocompression list I can't see this pdvcodec. In virtualdub I can see this pdvcodec. So what's wrong ? Can somebody help me ?
Operating system XP SP2

If I encode a divx/xvid avi in virtualdub 2-pass, the results of the first
pass are saved on a file in the harddrive. it's there until I delete it.
I can then encode the 2nd pass as many times as I like,without having to
reproduce the analyzing result (1st pass) again.

In Tmpg, the option "saves analyzing results" seems that it's similar,
except it's not. Where are the analyzing results saved?
Does it really help the 2nd pass? I tried a 2pass vbr without specifying
"saves analyzing results", and I couldn't see the difference.

It seems that it should behave the same as virtualdub to be useful.
Unless I don't understand it's implemtation. I'm using version 2.5
Tmpgenc Plus.
Thanks for any enlightenment.
Dave
