I found the cause for an MKV video to lock-up when importing it, it's the Nvidia graphics driver at fault.
My setup is Window's 7 x64, ffdshow x86, Haali Matroska splitter and TAW5. Consistently I would import an MKV and it would lock-up. After re-installing Window's a few times, I discovered it worked when I hadn't installed any graphics driver from Nvidia (for my GeForce 520 card).
I installed "GeForce 301.42 - WHQL", the latest driver as of this post, then TAW5 would freeze. When I rolled back to driver "GeForce 296.10 Driver - WHQL", it worked fine and no longer locked-up.
I don't know what the root cause is, whether it's something Nvidia is doing, or if TAW5 is to blame, but rolling back to an earlier graphics driver "fixes" it.
It can be Nvidia's fault, just as it is Ati's fault that people experience problems with their graphics card drivers.
The guys behind Matroska released a drivers package named CoreAVC (pay ware) a couple of years ago, who makes decoding and encoding of HD video run much more stable and smoothly if you have an Nvidia graphics card.
Obviously because there are problems with Nvidia's own CUDA driver.
The guys behind FFDSHOW created their own version of Ati's DXVA and added it for free to FFDSHOW, who runs much more smoothly and stable than Ati's original unstable release.
They did this because Ati leaves their graphics card users hanging dry and refuse to solve the problem with their own horrible DXVA.
Thanks Persen. I wondered what CoreAVC was and thought it was a CODEC package. For DXVA, I wasn't aware it's ATI only. In fact I saw "ffdshow (DXVA)" on the Win7DSTweaker tool. It sounds like the problem lies with Nvidia.
I'll say this though, ATI drivers are worse, much worse. Many times I've used a slightly older ATI card with latest drivers, they would blue-screen on installation, consistently - the problem lie with the card detection program.
I'll report this problem to Nvidia, see if I get any reply.
I am not even using the latest Ati drivers for my graphics card. The drivers are almost 6 months old, but at least they in general are running smoothly, except for the DXVA that came with it, but i let FFDSHOW take care of that instead.
CoreAVC is not entirely drivers package, it does contain codecs (forgot to mention that). Those are the ones who takes over the work of what Nvidia's CUDA is normally suppose to do.
But that said, Ati card users should not waste their time on CoreAVC. I have given it a shot about 8 months ago by trying to use it in DVDFab. Halfway threw the encoding process, it failed with unknown errors, obviously because i was trying to use it with a graphics card who uses DXVA as its engine.
So yup, they are right on the CoreAVC homepage when they say its mainly designed for Nvidia cards, because obviously it will only run smoothly there.
Hi, I've de-multiplexed a movie that's in a vob file in my pc. I've done this by going into MPEG Tools and double-clicking the audio file. When I go play the audio file that I have demuxed, I don't hear anyhting. It has three audio files and none of them make a sound when I play them after being demuxed.
El programa dejo de funcionar por un problema, Windows cerrará el programa y le notificará si exista una solución"
El proble es que uso este programa desde hace bastante tiempo,y desde que e puesto windows 7 no hay qui lo pueda ejecutar,me podria decir alguien a que es devido esto.
doa fresh install of windows . update and install the codecs ie get ird of the ones you have . and update the recent tmpgenc software you have. chances are its a conflict
Hi, I have 76 videos in mp4 format, 75Mb each (a total of 5GB), but when added to new proyect Start - Bluray BDMV video weighs 1.5 Gb each (totaling almost 100GB). I can do to the videos do not weigh much, may enter into a Bluray of 23GB and keep the original quality. thanks
TAW5 will re-encode that video to make it Blu-ray compliant. The resolution will be changed to 720x480 at least. I'm also guessing that TAW5 is giving the videos a larger bitrate. The audio will also be re-encoded as Dolby Digital (ac3) or LPCM. Make sure audio is encoded as ac3 to save space.
You can change the encoding settings in the Track Settings.
My bad, this is for TAW4, so your video will be converted to MPEG-2 which is not as efficient as MPEG-4 AVC, so that's also part of why the file size gets bigger. In other words, the outputted MPEG-2 video can be double the size (or more) because MPEG-2 can't compress as much data as MPEG-4 AVC.
It's possible, but not easy.
If you have other video editing software, that might help.
Basically you need to make a video clip or screenshot of just your menu.
Then, in your video editor, transition your first play video into the clip of your menu. Encode that as a single video to use as your first play video in TAW5.
Trying to load TMPGENc Authorising Works 4 program wants to Renew License. Each time it trys, however, results in error message "Stop Serial". I recently purchased a disk version of TMPGENc Authorising 5 BUT yet not installed it. Any ideas why it fails to renew license?
I've installed the VMW5 trial as I'm looking for a simple tool to capture home video from my Canon HV30 and convert it something I can use on my PC based media centre.
The software sees my camcorder and is able to capture from it fine, but I have an issue with it stopping the capture seemingly when it detects no video for around a second or so. This mostly occurs on the tape where the camcorder has been powered down/up - i.e. between takes from different days.
The result is I can't leave VMW5 capturing video without babysitting it, as it might get half the way through capturing and then stop. Just hitting the "capture" button again sends it off happily, but obviously not the best solution.
Is there a way to adjust the timeout or sensitivity for loss of video when capturing?
