Hello, I have a verified registered licensed version 4.2.193, and downloaded the new 4.6 file. When I try to run it now, it asks me for my license, and when I enter it it says it is invalid.

How do I upgrade and keep my previous license??


tkrave  2009-02-06 20:41:41 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You may be inputting an incorrect letter or number. Try 0 instead of O, 1 instead of I, etc.

You may also be using a different language than the license you purchased. For instance, if you bought a German license, you won't be able to use an English update.

If you continue to have problems, contact support and they should be able to look up your license number and tell you if there is a problem with it.



Question - Converting .vob to .mp4 - Best Quality Settings? No.58663
Spininem  2009-02-06 03:13:49 ( ID:oedfgzl7gsk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

With TMPGEnc 4.0 Express, what would be the best quality settings when encoding from .vob to .mp4?

I'm a disc jockey and video jockey and don't want to use the .vob files as they eat more resources than the .mp4 files, plus I can save on hard drive space in going with .mp4. I don't want to lose much in the way of video and audio when converting however.

Starting at the first screen after loading the .vob file...I don't know what to select for "Clip settings"

Display mode: Interlace or Progressive
Field order: Top field first or Bottom field first
Aspect ratio: ?

Any help on settings is greatly appreciated.


tkrave  2009-02-06 20:50:08 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I would not change anything in the Clip Settings unless you have to or want to force it to display differently.

The Format Stage is where you want to change your settings since these are your output settings.

Using 2 pass variable bitrate will give you the best quality, and a higher average and maximum bitrate will keep the quality high as well.

Hi,
Excuse me for my English, I'm Italian...
I've many problem to install new version of TNPGEnc 4.0 XPress. I've the 4.1 version and I want to update it to 4.6 version. But when I try to do it, the installation tool say me that it's impossible to unistall the old version of program because int's impossible to find the .msi file. I try to search it in my computer... but I can's find it...
Please, can you help me?
Thanks in advance,
Maria


tkrave  2009-02-06 18:13:15 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Have you tried using the Windows "Add or Remove Programs" control panel? Maybe you can uninstall the old version with that before installing the new version.

If you are still having problems, contact support:

downloaded & installed TPMGenc 4 Xpress. On first attempt to start it says The Trial Period is Over, which is rediculous since it was just installed. I'm trying to run it on Vista32 sp1.

Jerry  2009-02-02 18:07:03 ( ID:hxbfzyzqiug )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have a season of a cartoon series that is in avi format. I want to convert them to wmv so i can play them in my zune. I have successfully done so with the first few episodes but for some reason a particular episode is sativking at 99% with 2 more frames to encode. Is there something I can do to force it to finish or maybe just quick without the 2 last frames? I have tried stopping then encoding process and am left with a file that is 50 mb shorter than the rest of the episodes. Any ideas?



Request - TP0 format decoding support No.58658
Petr  2009-02-02 17:36:12 ( ID:hpd8ip2fcnc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Dear Pegasys,

you may add support for TP0 files decoding simply by ignoring first 288768 bytes of the file. Than it can be handled as already supported TS file. Please contact me if you want to have sample of the TP0 files, typically produced by Homecast SAT receivers.

What about support for 2-pass XviD encoding in one step ?

Regards
Petr



Request - Forced subs in a mixed subtitle stream No.58657
alexcel  2009-02-02 15:54:27 ( ID:iyqm551c632 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi

Sometimes, we find forced subs in an subtitle stream mixed up with normal ones.

(Note: If we extract the subtitles to vobsub files and edit them with subresync, we find that there are both normal and forced ones.)

The forced ones are usually needed translations to our language (it is not english)

We need an option to include only forced subs, not all of them. This could be an on-off option once we have chosen the subtitle stream. Also, showing up if there are forced subs in a stream would help a lot.

Is anyone nows any workarounds for this forced subs issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks



Question - Watermark remove No.58655
Thorsten Otto  2009-02-02 10:45:29 ( ID:retik58duv6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello,

how do I remove the white Watermark in Tmpg Express 4.0. I mean the white crap in the right side of a reencoded movie.


tkrave  2009-02-02 20:56:33 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Are you using the trial version? The watermark is part of the trial restrictions. The full version won't add a watermark.

If you're talking about some other watermark that was already in the video, then that can't be removed since it's encoded into the video.



Question - DVD to DivX - Fairuse Wizard (3hrs) vs TMPGenc Xpress 4.0 (9hrs) why? No.58652
Pwnsweet  2009-02-01 01:47:48 ( ID:xslnwwpmrq2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I recommended TMPGenc to good friend of mine a week ago. Typically he uses Fairuse Wizard for his encoding, but after hearing about all the good things I had to say about TMPGenc from me, he gave it a shot. He got back to me the other day and claims that the same DVD to DivX encode at the same settings as those he uses in Fairuse Wizard take 9hrs in TMPGenc as opposed to 3hrs in Fairuse.

Does anyone know why this may be the case?


tkrave  2009-02-02 20:53:01 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hard to say without knowing the settings he's using. Got any details?


QuadMan  2009-02-13 03:57:40 ( ID:iuctjfy5s.6 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

It could just be that particular encode - more fast action scenes maybe? My old P4 3.2GHz would vary from 4 hours up to 12 hours encoding similar length DVDs. (and using TMPGenc Xpress 3.0) Anyway, my new Q6600 quad core encodes everything I throw at it in 1 hour flat. So I recommend u get a Quad Core :)



Question - Cannot enable GPU encoding. No.58646
SplitFire  2009-01-29 18:40:25 ( ID:n8ei.e/68ar )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, I installed the latest trial version of xpress and cannot enable GPU encoding. Everything relating to the GPU, under the preferences menu, is greyed out. I have two 8800 GTS cards with the latest driver installed(Jan 14, 2009) running on Vista Ultimate x64. I have attempted installing version 2.1 and 2.0 of the cuda driver, but nothing has worked. GPU encoding works fine in both badaboom and powerdirector. Any idea why I would not be able to enable it in TMPGEnc?

Thanks.


tkrave  2009-01-29 18:45:49 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

From the product webpage:

"The GeForce8800 GTX/GTS video card using the G80 core is not currently supported."


SplitFire  2009-01-29 21:46:23 ( ID:n8ei.e/68ar )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I should have looked better. I just assumed since it worked with other software it should work with this. Thanks a lot for the reply.


NonW00t  2009-02-05 08:49:25 ( ID:0ed1isrxiqn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Wouldn't worry too much about the cuda support anyway. It actually makes conversions slower on my system (QX9650 quad and 8800 GTS 512 2xSLI), and on many files the conversion stops with error "parameter is incorrect" at the very end even when not using any filters at all!


tkrave  2009-02-05 18:35:11 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Well, yes it will be slower than the CPU in most cases. If you're not using filters or MPEG decoding, then you should turn it off.


josgba2002  2009-02-10 02:04:18 ( ID:f3awbok5w6m )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have enabled CUDA but when encoding program show 0% CUDA.

Can you help me ?

Can some one please tell me the best settings for encoding a m2ts file or vob file for apple tv. I already moviestyle but I purchased Xpress for more editing options. Thanks


tkrave  2009-01-29 18:14:52 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

-iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic), or high-definition 720p

-MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

Question - Can't Ouput 16:9 No.58642
griff  2009-01-29 12:55:17 ( ID:nwz1/sxqmnn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi all

I have a trying to convert a DVR-MS file from Vista Media Center to divx. It's natively widescreen.

Regardless of what settings I use I can NOT get TMPGEnc 4.6.3.268 to output anything that isn't 4:3.

Aspect Ratio in Clip Properties is set to Pixel 16:11 (PAL 16:9)
This is also set in the Format section.

What am I doing wrong ?


tkrave  2009-01-29 18:38:41 ( ID:lgrl8ryjzyl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Which DivX Profile are you using? Are you in Advanced mode or Basic Mode?

I can keep things widescreen with Encode mode set to Advanced and then using no profile, Home theater profile, or HDTV profile.

Are there black bars at the top and bottom or is the image squashed?
