I just installed the new WinFast PxVC1100 and software that includes the Movie Plug in for spurs engine. When I go to encode my movie it tells me that spurs engine does not function correctly. How can this be? I do have it in a PCI E X16 slot as opposed to a 1.1, should this matter? I have a brand new Asus P6Delux Version 2 motherboard Intel core i7 with 64 bit vista running. Wondering if my card is defective?

i have mine in a PCIx1 and all is working fine.

Ok, the problem has been resolved and thought I would post the solution encase anyone else has ever runs into the same issue. On the Asus P6T Deluxe Version 2 motherboard the Winfast card must be plugged into the bottom PCI Express port port. In the Bios set the PCI selector to Plug and Play On as opposed to letting the bios do it. Restart the computer and bingo! She works, and works well!

It now supports the mkv format.

Software purchased off Amazon as new says Serial Number has expired - Video Encoder Xpress

You may have been duped. I'm betting it wasn't sold directly through Amazon, but through a seller?
You can try contacting support, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to get a working serial number since this product has been discontinued for a while now.

When i start up the programme, it verifys the license, then carrys on loading, then i get this message every time 'At address 000A1135, read error occurred against address 000A1135'

Ive tried to re install, but nothing changes.


Im on windows XP, service pack 3 too.

This has happened all of a sudden.

Any help would be good, thankyou.

Downloaded and installed the latest beta 0.6.?. Loved the previous beta. Now Vista SP2 won't run Karma - keeps complaining on DEP forced closing.
Any plans on developing a DEP friendly application?
Just venting.
Thanks.

Ok, call me a dummy. Found the problem with the DEP error and closing the video application - somehow I received an outdate codec. Don't know where, how, or why (might have been when installing this Karma app since I didn't have the problem before), but the fix is pretty simple - do an internet search for VISTA VIDEO CODECS and Shark007 has one that when installed fixes this problem.
Karma now works slick as always <g>. Thanks.
Bob

Suggestion Request:

It would be helpful if you could see which items are pictures and which ones are video, perhaps a small icon in the corner of movie files.

I just redid my computer and reinstalled TMPG 4.0 Xpress. It works fine however when I start up the program Windows changes the color scheme to Windows Vista Basic when I usually have the setting on Aero. This never happened before. Any ideas as to what is causing this? Dvd Author does the same thing. TIA

yep, its your graphics driver thats faulty.

Hi - some imported mpg files are not producing any sound in the preview window. They do however play in othe TMPGenc programs like TMPGenc so I'm wondering why this is so. Any ideas? Thanks

I have some AVCHD files and want to convert to DVD MPEG2 files and burn and played on home DVD player,the source AVCHD mts file is dolby 5.1 channels，but no dolby 5.1 audio type in MPEG2 file audio setting page,does TMPGEnc support AC-3 5.1 at this time? thanks.

You can re-mux the 5.1 audio with TsMuxer http://www.videohelp.com/tools/tsMuxeR

xpress can not yet encode to 5.1 unless its encoding with natural 5.1 for some odd reason.

how ever if you have encoded the video and wish to mux the original audio then use its meg tools on the main front section.

I don't know why I bothered. With a Quad Core Q9500, I am already getting 12x speeds with the MainConcept Mpeg encoder (100 min movie in 9 min).

200fps H264 upscaled to 1280 with Vdub and the ffdshow VFW codec.

The included Ulead(Corel) software is usless.

took it out today.....system temp went down 10 degrees c.

The spurs engine cards is really only benefitial to those who dont have a quad core CPu's PC ie: i have a dual core AMD 3.2Gz and the spurs card encodes quicker than my CPU can. i was going to upgrade my system to a quad core CPU but since i dont use it for gaming (mostly video work) this was a cheaper alternative that increase 'my' speeds quite well, usually ~70% faster. Since the spurs card is a 'quad core' video encoding cpu on a pci card pretty much, i dont know why you bothered either. Since you already had one in your system. you should sell it.

actually, I moved it to a machine with a Q8200....but I can't tell if it works, because I seem to have maxed out my TMPGENC4 serial number. Tech support it taking there time telling me how to fix it.

All is fixed and working, but as I said before....why bother.

2:30min AVI movie to DVD:

Spurs engine 28min
ConvertXtoDVD 15min (10.30x)

becuase convertxtodvd isnt that great with quality

Don't like the quality?

MainConcept Mpeg Encoder 12min

please. it is very important. thanks.

u can open with all files and ad mkv files.Remember set up k-lite codec first.

Hi,

In Authoring Works 4 I want to use the link editor with one of the included templates but it is locked/ disabled how do I unlock or enable?

Thanks

The pre-installed templates, and the templates in the menu packs can't be unlocked.

of which ive already stated my annoyance to them about this, and their daft answering idiots saying that they are unable to change this.

odd really, there able to code software to do encoding and create templates, yet somehow down the line they are unable to adjust the code within the software and templates to enable the user to change what they want.

its as if either their being dumb... they are dumb. or think we are dumb.

and were the ones paying for the software and yet arent allowed the freedom .
