Question - TE40 - UI Hanging - Commandline option? No.58125
Fruber Malcome  2007-08-04 01:03:34 ( ID:osbilbqoqdh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I use TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress to encode for my TIVO,and have been doing so for at least over a year.

I just recently relized that I could also add subtitles, so now when I click new project | Edit filter list | and then try to add subtitles, the software hanges quite often. I'm sure this may have something to-do with memory or something along that line (or the fact that the HD where the video is is connected via USB2.0) - but regardless, I have no problems with encoding this and using the filter on my other machine (which has less memory, but an internal HD).

so my question is, I'd really like to be able to use this other machine to continue to encode the file(s). So is there a way via the commandline to write a batch file that will specify the avi file, the srt file and which template to use for the exported/output?

This would greatly simplify this and my worry for hanging the machine everytime I go to clip/edit. Also note, that I've never needed to use the clip/edit feature, so I'm not sure if this was always a problem or not - but I'm quite confident that this has nothing to-do with filters etc. (since this works on my other machine).

any help would be appreciated.
thanks

A bit odd for it to hang/crash when you add subtitle. Might want to check your processes running in the background, could be affecting TXP4 somehow.

But to answer your question, none of TMPG software supports command line.

Check this out, maybe it will help with regard to the hanging.

Question - TE40 - Problems with install with newest Intel Proc and P35 mobo No.58118
fuzz54  2007-08-01 16:01:23 ( ID:cosz3zgbt2l )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I had TMPGenc 4.0 Express working perfectly with a Pentium 4 930 dual core processor. Now I've upgraded my system to an Intel E6750 processor (just released) and a P35 (bearlake) motherboard and the program crashes before I can finish encoding mpeg and MP4 videos from homemade VOB files. Is anyone else having this kind of problem with the newest Intel processors and mobos? I have the most recent BIOS for my motherboard and have tried disabling and enabling all kinds of CPU, cache, and multithread options in 4.0 Express to see if I can get to the end of an encode without the program crashing. The only error I get is that "TMPGenc 4.0 Express has encountered an error and needs to close". The error report lists different modules at different times as the reason for crashing, so I can't pin it down to a specific module or error. My only thought is that it might be a problem with a new stick of RAM, but I am not getting BSOD's or crashes in any other programs with my new system build. I have the most recent version of the K-Lite codec pack and have disabled AVI in 4.0 Express to force it to use the K-Lite codecs when necessary.


nTekka  2007-08-01 21:31:13 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Klite might not help in this case since you are dealing with VOB (MPEG2). I highly doubt it is the proc or mobo that is causing TXP4 to crash. Best way to know for sure why its bailing out is to use SystemInternal FileMon.

Use memtest86 to verify your RAM, it might not always give you BSOD but a bad RAM read/write can crash TXP4 which is CPU and RAM intensive.

For precaution, try resetting K-Lite settings back to default, they have a simple tool for that.


fuzz54  2007-08-01 22:58:40 ( ID:cosz3zgbt2l )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thanks for the suggestion on memtest86+. It probably is faulty RAM. Unfortunately none of the memory testers that I know of are compatible with the new P35 chipsets yet. But I'll try it. I am going to swap out with the ram from my last computer to see if it fixes the problem. I'll probably try tweaking the voltage on my RAM just a bit higher too (to anyone reading: only mess with your RAM voltage if you know what you are doing!).


fuzz54  2007-08-03 16:28:22 ( ID:tzejcplih4h )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The problem was a faulty stick of RAM. I had my first successful encode last night after switching out each stick until I found the culprit. Rock on Xpress 4.0! Stuff that was taking me 20 hours to encode with my dual core Pentium 930 and 533 Mhz DDR2 RAM is now taking me 4 - 5 hours with an Intel E6750 proc and 1066 Mhz DDR2 RAM. Amazing.


nTekka  2007-08-07 22:48:26 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You must be encoding HD or a very long file for it to take 4-5 hours on a high spec PC like that, but good to know that it all works. Normally it takes me 1 to 2 hour for a 2 hour movie using DVD Template output on my Core 2 Duo E6600 and 2 Gb DDR2.


fuzz54  2007-08-08 19:31:47 ( ID:cosz3zgbt2l )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm encoding raw VOB movie files to MP4 (AVC level 3.1) at 720 by 480 resolution and 2-pass variable bit rate at 3000 kb/s average. I'm also applying a de-interlace filter (inverse pulldown). I end up with a great format that can be streamed wirelessly to my PS3 (using as a media server) for viewing with no problems and decent quality. When encoding to mpeg2 with just a single pass it usually only takes an hour with a bigger file size to get the same quality as the MP4.

nTekka: I'm curious if you have any suggestions for what is a good bitrate for MP4 and mpeg2 movies. I've kind of picked 3000 kb/s because my media server can handle it fine and file size isn't such a big deal now with the price of storage dropping. But I haven't done detailed experimentation to see where a higher bitrate doesn't really matter. I think I remember reading that DVDs are encoded at somewhere around a 6000 kb/s bitrate.


nTekka  2007-08-13 19:47:01 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

DVDs are actually encoded around 9200kbps and can't exceed 9800kbps for both video and audio because older DVD models can't keep up if its higher. Of course that doesn't matter now with newer DVD players.

I'd keep my bitrate at around 7500kbps, I didn't notice much difference between 7500 and 9200 but the size difference was noticable, so I guess 6000kbps is good.

Is there more to your message or just that very very informative number? Something like Access denied? No stream? etc etc... I'm assuming you are using AVI container with MPEG4 codec, in which case you may want to check your system for the right codec. Also check under Options > Preferences > File input and remove AVI file reader so this will force DirectShow file reader to take over, which usually performs better.


shnontito  2007-07-31 08:36:14 ( ID:bmva8mgad5f )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

it is the "ACCESS DENIED" error.
wha is the "right" codec for this and how do i check i have it?
thanks in advance.


nTekka  2007-07-31 21:34:33 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Try using GSpot to check your video, then find what codec it uses and download it online somewhere. Its not recommended but you should just download K-Lite codec pack, will likely solve all your codec problems.

Before your RE:, I went ahead and got the most up-to-date KLITE pack and it seemed to cure the problem!?
thanks for everything on this!

Question - TE25 - Using TMPGEnc with another mpeg2 video encoder? No.43673
badsushi  2007-07-29 20:55:51 ( ID:9.2uzxjphef )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I 've got a question about using TMPGEnc 2.5 free with an external mpeg2 video encoder.
The functions in TMPEGEnc are really good and the mpeg2 encoder which I bought with a videosoftware only supports choosing vcd-, svcd- or dvd-quality. And that are extremly poor possibilities.
Is it possible to use the encodingoptions available by the free TMPEGEnc Software with my mpeg2 encoder?


nTekka  2007-07-30 20:47:44 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I don't think so, TMPGEnc 2.5 doesnt use command line so it doesnt support 3rd party very well. Why not just buy the TMPGEnc 2.5 Plus version, that supports MPEG-2, its well worth the $37 bux.

Question - TE40 - Went to upgrade and now it won't install No.58108
JollyRoger  2007-07-27 06:41:20 ( ID:c5n1hz0vz8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Okay this is really naffing me off. I could swear vitriolic hate towards TMPGEnc at the moment. Why can't their f***ng packages update properly when they release a f***ng upgrade. Senseless idiots! I thought (more fool me!) I would upgrade to the latest version 4.f***ng3.f***ng1.f***ng222 but now everytime I try to go into the damn thing, it keeps saying "Necessary files for the application could not be found or properly readed. We f***ng advice you to uninstall and reinstall the application"

I HAVE UNINSTALLED FROM THE ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS (because TMPGEnc thought not to have it's own f***ng uninstall option from within the programs menu)... but everytime I try to reinstall the latest upgrade program, I keep getting the piss taking 'We advice you to uninstall... ' message above.

So now I've got a program I have paid $45.95 for and can't use.

Has anybody got any suggestions to get round TMPGEnc's upgrade screwup, before they receive an email from me, they really don't want to receive.

Many thanks in advance.

Jebus, Calm down before your vein pops! I know their installer is a complete package so its not really an update package you download. So it simply overwrites your older version not add new items to your old.

You probably got some conflict or problems with dll driver and its not helping TMPGEnc run. Try using SystemInternal FileMon to find what is causing it bug out. My guess is you probably got a corrupted codec or ffdshow filter. Another thing is don't use codec packs with any encoding software, they will cause problems unless you are an advance user who can manipulate the scripts to correct any issues.


JollyRoger  2007-07-31 22:37:45 ( ID:c5n1hz0vz8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You see I don't know about dll's and ffdshow filters. I even tried to revert back to a safe system restore point, before I attempted to upgrade. What I have now done is downloaded the trail version again, hopefully I still have a valid license key, so I will just use that on the trial version when it expires.


nTekka  2007-08-01 21:26:44 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If I were you, I'd have a technician take a look at your whole system. It might be filled with junk and corrupt DLL or conflict galore, once its cleaned up it might just run faster and better.


JollyRoger  2007-08-17 23:37:25 ( ID:c5n1hz0vz8w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

My systems fine. Spyware and virus free. I run programs frequently to check for this type of stuff. I have a 4200 Dual Core Processor with 1GB memory and it flies through every task I ask it to do. So it's not in the least bit unresponsive. Thanks for reply.

I get this error whenever I do Source -> Source Wizard -> DVD-Video, DVD-VR or DVD-RAM -> Next... -> [Select VIDEO_TS folder from DVD].

Isn't TMPGEnc 4XP supposed to be able to read video and audio straight off DVDs?

Don't you just love that thing they invented for DVDs? those annoying useless CSS encryption? Sounds like you probably didn't bypass it if you plan on making a copy of it? So to answer you, No TXP4 can't read directly off an encrypted DVD. It can read directly if its a custom made disk with no encryption.

nTekka  2007-07-23 23:53:45 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I think you got the wrong software, TXP3 templates are for video output, so what buttons are you talking about? If your referring to TDA3 menu buttons, then no, you can't move the templates from TMPG. You can only move the buttons if you select custom templates.



Question - TE40 - large file No.58103
Johan Boelaert  2007-07-19 19:51:10 ( ID:s8slcdo5bja )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I merged a movie (an AVI file of 761.962 kB) with its subtitles. This resulted in an AVI file of 81.630.032 kB...
Is there a way to reduce the size of such files?


nTekka  2007-07-23 23:35:48 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm a bit confused, might just be different formating standard, but the period between your numbers are throwing me off. 761,962 KB? that's equivalent to 761 MB which sounds about right for an AVI movie of 2 hours. The new avi file you encoded to is probably uncompressed so you screwed up on the settings somewhere. I think AVI template has uncompressed as the selected default, so just change it to Xvid or DivX and you should be ok. But kind of a waste of time to re-encode a whole movie just to have subtitle when you can simply use VirtualDub to do a quick pass through with subtitle takes about 10 min.

I tried to author a dvd the other day and got to the final step. When I clicked write to dvd button it told me that I hadn't configured my dvd burner. I clicked on the button and it said the that the drive was stopped. Can anyone help? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drive but no game. Thanks a ton.

Check for a process called "bgsvcgen.exe" in your task manager. If its not there then you will need to turn it back on. Right click My Computer > Manage > Expand services and applications > services > double click on "B's Recorder Gold General Service Library > then start the service and set it to auto start on system boot up.

This is a crucial DVD burning tool for TDA3.

Question - TE40 - Errors, but only when encoding more than one file at a time No.58098
TouchStone  2007-07-13 13:17:14 ( ID:jtu9gg6kbn6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi all,

I'm using TMPGenc 4.0 Xpress 4.3.0.220 to encode a lot of MiniDV camcorder clips from AVI (captured by Ulead VideoStudio 9) to DVD-compatiple MPEG.

Encoding any one file works fine. Trying to encode more than seven or eight in a project (or batch tool), though, XPress crashes. If I re-run the project it doesn't crash on the same file; sometimes sooner, sometimes later.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I've got about 500 clips to encode!

Thanks for any advice...

(I'm running XP Pro SP2 on an E6600-based PC with 2GB RAM, lots of disk space etc. - the PC can handle it, basically.)

TXP4 uses directshow for AVI(DV) files so you might want to check your external codec for any issues. Your external codec might not be able to handle multiple projects at a time so it bails out on TXP4. If I were you, i'd load up ffdshow or k-lite and have it attempt to fix any corrupt codec or use ffdshow to stream to txp4, the newest version fixed some of the compatibility issues with txp4.



Question - TE25 - AVI to MPG colour problems No.43667
PhantomTa2  2007-07-12 21:59:47 ( ID:l0k3voxh1sa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I got an issue....I'm trying to encode an AVI film to MPG so I can get it to DVD, the only problem is that after the encode, I tried it to make sure the audio was in synch only to find out that the encode turned out black and white (although the audio WAS in synch). This has only happened the one time and was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why?


nTekka  2007-07-23 23:39:45 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Only place in TMPGEnc 2.5 I can think of to turn your video to black and white is the Custom color correction filter > Saturation set to -255. If that filter isn't on then its probably your external codec that caused this problem. This software is pretty solid to make a mistake like that, so I usually suspect codec or something on your system screwing things up.


PhantomTa2  2007-07-25 16:56:23 ( ID:l0k3voxh1sa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hmm...can't find a color correction option anwhere, it's also happened with another file, too, although that one played in color with vlc but not in wmp. Where would this option be? I'd like to check that


PhantomTa2  2007-07-25 16:59:43 ( ID:l0k3voxh1sa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Found it, but it wasn't checked so I don't think that could be it. They're basically just xvids, one came as two files, so I've joined them and tried to re-encode and it ends up black and white, the other was one file and that was also black and white. Originally I thought it may be because I joined the two files, but the second one was only one, so I'm stuck as to what could be causing it


nTekka  2007-07-26 02:14:53 ( ID:449jj5ymc1r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Thats a bit puzzling, you were able to view it in color with VLC but not with WMP? I would suspect problems with WMP and not the encoder or the source file. Try going into WMP > View > Enhancements > Video Settings and check your Saturation setting.

Another way to confirm if your newly encoded file is black & white is to import it back into TMPGEnc 2.5 and watch the preview. I don't think having a black and white clip joined with a color would turn the whole video into black and white so this little issue might be just from WMP.


PhantomTa2  2007-07-28 00:18:34 ( ID:l0k3voxh1sa )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well, I stuck it on a DVD using tmpgenc dvd author and that was Black and White on my dvd player, that's how I noticed it in the first place......it's baffling me, it really is
