Lately I have been finding that the videos I convert from wtv to mp4 are cutting off near the end when I watch them while streaming to a PS3. At first I thought it was a streaming problem. But when I check the files in question on the computer's player (Media Player Classic), the converted videos freeze and only play the frozen frame for the duration of the video. I edit the commercials out using Masterworks 5, so I know the original files are good. The problem happens in the conversion process, and I don't always watch the file right away. What a pain. Has anybody got any ideas what I should do to figure out what's happening?
Thanks, Gordon
I have now learned that all the videos I have converted using VideoMasterworks 5 since loading the program on my newly built computer have frozen in the above manner. It took me all night to find them all. Most were converted to mp4 (625X352, 23.976 fps, 1:1 pixel ratio, full screen no bars). It also happened to one that I converted as Divx. What could this be? My hardware includes a 2ed generation Core i5 2500k processor, Z68 Extreme motherboard (slot 1155), 8 gigs of Kingston RAM, and I am using built in processor video. This was all newly released hardware when I got it in May. I am slso using Core AVC 2.5.5 as a codec.
Interestingly, VideoRedo can convert a wtv file with the commercials edited out to an mp4 with the same resolution setting with no problem.
Please, can anyone help me? It seems to be a function of Masterworks 5.
I had to delete 60 videos that I converted with Video Masterworks 5 since I purchased it. I thought the upgraded program would be able to import wtv files, but it can't. That's why the videos freeze (usually around 20 minutes, no matter what format they are converted to). If they are converted to dvrms first, this freezing doesn't happen. Is this a flaw in the program? Is anyone else having this experience?
Thanks, Gordon
If they are freezing, but not when converted to dvrms, that means the signal is bad at the point where it freezes, but not bad enough that the dvrms conversion can't take place. If the signal is really really bad, it won't even be able to convert to dvrms and you'll get an error. I've converted tons of wtv files so I know that wtv import is possible; whenever there is a problem it is because the source file is bad or the video was broadcast as H.264 (which TVMW5 can't import at all).
If you use the cut editor, you can usually see where the signal is bad in the thumbnail navigator strip. There will be a visual break and thumbnails won't appear for the bad section. You can cut out the bad section to avoid freezing, but of course, you will lose that scene where the signal is bad.
If you're using an over-the-air antenna, you may need to find a more optimal position to get a better signal.
I recently installed TMPGEnc video mastering works 5 and I have the panasonic hmc150 that produces AVCHD (.mts files), when I installed the software, I was able to produce .mov(using the avid codec dnxhd) file from my .mts clip, it played back smoothly, and I was able to use it in my avid and finally created a dvd out of it.
Ok fast forward to my problem, I wanted to create another project for another event that I shoot, so I went through the same settings in creating the .mov, but to my surprise, the playback is jerky/strobing, it does not seem like an artifact but playback is not smooth at all.
I thought it was due to my computer(6-core 2x 2.9Ghz, 12GB ram), so I create a dvd and the same jerky(it feels like it is moving frame by frame) playback is seen on my dvd player
Update, I have found the cause of the jerky playback. It was due to the CUDA being enabled with the filter, and I had also set mpeg1,2 for the CUDA hardware. I have the quadro 4000, so I thought the CUDA would be nice, but I guessed wrong, after disabling it, the file transcoded and played back smoothly. I am not sure if this is a bug in the current version.
BTW I have 6-core 2x 2.9Ghz with 12GB ram with windows 7 pro 64bit
Hi!
I have .TS file (h264) from my camcorder and I want to make edited (just cutted in VMW) video, but without recompression. As a result I wish to have mkv with chapters. How?
Thanks. Dee
I am interested in knowing if TMPGEnc Authoring works 4 has any plans in the near future of supporting H.264 encoded transport streams for example MKV in TMPGEnc Mastering Works 5 for Blu Ray Authoring (smart Rendering) without using MPEG2 antiquated 1st generation technology. Unless the authoring software keeps up with Blu Ray technology and current preferred H.264 and VC-1 for authoring you will become obsolete,
It would be really nice if I could use the batch encode option to create m2t files with ac3 (dolby) audio. Currently in the version of 4.0 XPress I have, this is not possible, which greatly increases the amount of time it takes to create my output files for clients.
Currently we have to use the encode tool to create separate M2V, Mp2 audio and ac3 audio files and then MUX each pair together.
We work with hundreds if not thousands of files at a time and cannot manually MUX each audio track with the elementary stream.
Would it be possible for TMPGenc MPEG Editor to change MPEG Flags?
I've got a bunch of MPEG Files that came with the incorrect field order, and the only software I could find to do such a thing would be the Restream software, that is not updated since 2004.
I film using XDCAM-EX format, 720/60P, 35mbps and edit in Vegas Pro 10. I also smart render in Vegas.
My question is; can I author to Blu-ray format utilizing TMPG4 and smart render. Every other authoring program I have tried ruins the video by over compressing.
I used TMPGEnc to make an MKV (HD) to the same output but less bitrate.
The output is fine at the start and at the end but at the middle is
messed up, indicating that the encoding didn't go well.
I used Cuda.
