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.

Hello, i have version 4.6.2.266 of TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress and i'm trying to use the gpu to encode.

i went to Preferences/nVidia CUDA 2.0 and i checked the 3 option but it does not work.

it takes 6 minutes to encode a video with or with out those options checked.

WinXP64-Intel Dual-core@3200-nvidia 8800 GT

i have installed the 64b CUDA Drivers 2.1 would that be the problem ? should i get the 64b 2.0 driver ? (because in preference says "nVidia CUDA 2.0")

regards

i've tried with Cuda drivers 2.0 and its the same, does not work...

I think you guys have an unsupported grapgic card model.
In their website they have written in red text this:
"*Speed improvements are dependent on your hardware specifications.
The GeForce8800 GTX/GTS video card using the G80 core is not currently supported. Thank you for your understanding.
Decoding benefits apply to MPEG-1/2 video only and may produce unexpected video output quality compared to regular CPU decoding."
Reference:
http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/te4xp.html
so I think you should get a new CUDA card.
good luck

i have a 8800GT G92 not G80...

im having the sape problem too, im using the Nvidia gtx 280 which is the newset of nivida and Cuda is not working for me even with the latest driver.
any idea about fixing that isue.

Are you guys applying video filters? Are you decoding MPEG-1/2? If you are not doing either of those, you will not see a difference in encoding time. Simple as that.

Also, update the software to the latest version; they just released 4.6.3.267.

I have the same problem. Before Cuda would show up now it's always on 0.0%. I'm using an 8800GT (G92) with the latest Nvidia 180 drivers. Is it a bug in the latest 268 release because version 267 worked ok?

Have you guys run the performance optimizer? If not, do it; it may solve some problems.

And again, if you are not applying video filters or using the MPEG decoder, you will not see a difference in output time, nor will CUDA be used.

Forgive please my newbie question, but I am planning on buying a camcorder (Canon Vexia HF100) that produces only 1080i AVCHD files. But my projectors are 720p. So can I use TMPGEnc to convert the 1080i AVCHD files to 720p mpeg2 files?

Thanks!

I think its possible, just check about MPEG-2 output template settings and choose the size, if I remember well you dont need to set it since its already set by default.
But before buy the software I recomend you to test its Trial version first.
good luck

This is more of a question and if the answer is NO, then a request.

Is it possible to utilize 100% of all four of my CPU cores to encode a movie? I can see that during the encode all four cores are being used, but the encoder never uses their full potential. Even when encoding 2+ movies at a time (while running one instance of the batch encoder) it never goes above 50% utilization of all four cores. It uses nearly 100% of core 0, and about 33% of core 1, 2 and 3. I would really like to be able to fully utilize all the power of my quad core to reduce my encoding time.

To clarify, I CAN fully use 100% of all four cores by running two instances of the batch encoder and then setting the affinity of one batch encoder to cores 0/1 and the other batch encoder to cores 2/3. This is a lame work around that I shouldn't have to do, but works fine for encoding more than one movie at a time. My main complaint is when I only want to encode one movie. It takes twice as long as it should because all cores aren't fully utilized.

Is there some setting I missed to fully use all four cores? If not, I would really like to see a fix for this in the near future.

Thanks

I think this is not consern from the application speed regarding the cores, its about codec's speed so it depends on the codecs used and its features.
For example by encoding with QT the speed is not full since QT codec does not or supports to use all the cores.
good luck

I am running TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress 4.6.3.267. When I load a .m2ts stream (for example after ripping one of my Blu-Ray disc) it shows the video and audio stream as eg 0001.m2ts). Now in some cases I am good and it plays english audio and I can convert the movie. However many times yo get frensh or spanish as language. Any idea where I can select the audio track or how to make sure I get an english audio stream ? The help file does not give any info about it.

You have 2 options;
1st-- Download the Editor 3 Trial version;
http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/tme3.html
and try this:
-1 Open the MPEG Tools [Demultiplexer Advanced] from Editor 3, and
input your .m2ts file by drag 'n drop into the "Input" part.
-2 Click the "Start" button to demultiplex your file (the output files
must be in the same folder).
-3 Input the video and audio files in XPress 4 at the Clip properties
window you can set and choose the Audio English file already
demultiplexed from from Editor's 3 Demultiplexer Advanced.

2nd-- Look in Google or other portal this freeware application "tsMuxerGUI" and tri it.
good luck

I'm trying to add music to my video clips. I would like to loop the audio if the clip is too long. I can't seem to find a way to do this. I tried clicking Audio 1 and stream to audio 2 if necessary, but Audio two is then grayed out. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hi There,
I have trouble to encoding my video to VCD format, the result still have bad result of movie, what is the best codec for used under Tmpgenc

Thanks
jak

Why dont you try to output with the MPEG-4 AVC output template?.
good luck

Hi all ! Any ideas how to add 2'nd audio track or its not possible at all ???

At the moment I think this is not possible.
good luck

I remember way back in Tmpgenc Xpress 4.2.3.193 I can import AC3 audio with full 5.1 channels by plugin TSP-AC3-1.3-install-EN. Now I do the same with Tmpgenc Xpress 4.6.2.266 but this time it does not accept 5.1 channels but just 2 channels. Does the new Tmpgenc Xpress supports old plugin? Or is there any other way to enable 5.1 channel support in Tmpgenc Xpress?

If my memory isnt bad, TXP4 does not support to output in Dolby Digital 5.1 in anyway.
good luck

I create Windows Media Video output files in High Def (1920 X 1080) with AC3 5.1 audio using Xpress all the time. You might want to consider installing AVISYNTH, K-Lite Codecs Package, and Windows Media Encoder. All of these are free and support numerous codecs that may not be available in the standard installation of Xpress 4.0. Then you can output all types of video resolutions and audio configurations.

Yes you may be able to choose 5.1 surround under audio WMA 10 Advance, but when you check it in any audio receiver it will only register as 2 channel/stereo. They need to fix this issue as everything now days is in surround sound. What good is ripping your Blu Ray, and only to get it played back in stereo. That's a joke...

I had TMPGEnc Plus 2.524.63.181 installed and working on my previous computer.
I built a new computer, re-installed, and re-registered the program. However
when I set up to encode an AVI to MPEG-2 the following error pops up:
"To playback MPEG-2 file, DVD player software needs to be installed on your system. MPEG-2 files cannot be played without such playback software" If I proceed on anyway the image does not show up in the preview window, and the output file only has sound (no video). I have a DVD burner installed, and I can play DVDs with either Windows Media player or Roxio Cineplayer (so that says I have a CODEC installed). I tried un-installing and re-installing the program.
Both the old and new computers are running Windows XP. Ideas?

You need a better codec package try CCCP it is very good

Right now if I want to edit a dvd to get rid of unwanted words, I have to cut the video along with it. Is there a way to just mute several words without having to cut the video?

I don't know of any way to do this within TDA3. You could extract the audio from the video source and then edit the words out in the extract, save the edited extract to a WAV file, and then use that edited extract as the primary audio source instead of the original audio from the video source.

i am having trouble with this trial software
i have a avi file that has ac3 5.1 sound but when i insert it into works it only shows it as 2 channel. i thought this new software was 5.1 compatible.

hope someone can help as i really was looking forward to buying this.
