I have few MTS file(interlaced) which create by AVCHD HDV camcorder,I want convert these file to Progressive AVI use a XVID coder,I hope the XVID coder to do the de-interlace not TMPGEnx XPRESS filter,how should I set xpress filter and output format and XVID coder?

now I set xpress de-interlac filter to no deinerlace mode,set out to AVI and Framerate to 25(interlace),I set XVID coder to de-interlace source,is this right?I think this will disable xpress de-interlac filter and XVID do the work,is it right?

I don't know the work stream,is it "source stream->xpress filter->XVID coder->output" or "source stream->XVID coder->xpress filter->output"?

please give me a advise,thanks!

if you select xvid, go to the fps and see progressive this general sorts any interlacing issues.

how ever if the item is animation, or fast motion, i would go to the filters and go to a frame which shows the itnerlacing and then select the correct deinterlacing method.

you will see if its the correct one as the picture becomes clear and crisp, i would also browse through the footage just in case.

then when you get to the xvid, select progressive.

also if its animation, you will need to select 23.976 or close to 24 (if thats the deinterlacing filter you have chosen as thats 24fps)

Hi,

When I try to enable the Cuda Support, I get this error:
"An error occured during CUDA execution. (cudaError_t = 4){35748B70-CBE7-4484-8CEF-6413CFBA7A58}"

My videocard is XFX GeForce 9600GT xxx edition "stock overcloced" with Nvidia Driver version 190.38 and TMPGenc 4.7.1.284 running at Windows XP.

So I can not to enable the Cuda Support.

Any Suggestion to fix this?

Thanks

I would contact user support. I don't think anyone here will know what that error code means unless it's pretty common.

yeah i cam across issues myself and it seems that xpress, even though its supplies and boasts about its this technical wizardry it fails to cope with such high demands.

so the way past it, is to defrag your system, dont have anything running besides xpress. first tick the cuda and select the card, then press the tab below stating optimize after next launch etc.

then launch it with nothing else running and let it do it, if it fails first time do it again or reboot and then try, and it should complete.

if you have the mpeg acceleration, tick that after the optimization has been done and restart again.

update on this. this error is now also happening after 30 seconds of the encoded. so i tried going back to the original drivers but no change, so had to untick the cuda feature for it to encode.

ok peeps its the nvidia driver thats cuasing the issue.

if you back to http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/winxp64_186.18_whql_uk.html reboot, it will be fine.

seems there are some big bugs causing the issue in the newer 190 drivers.

I'm using a laptop Toshiba M205 with a 1.7 GHZ duo core Intel Centrino processor with 2 Gig Ram. I've tried using the trial TPMGenc4.0 express and it looks like it may work for me,I make music video clips from full length DVD's. usually 4 minute duration and i try to keep them around 150MB, I make them using AVI format and Divx so it will compress a little, I've found as long as I can keep my clips around 100-150 MB the quality is broadcast worthy. If anyone can see a problem with what PC equipment I have I would like to hear about it before I purchace the full TMPG version Thanks

Should be fine. The minimum system requirements is a Pentium 3 1GHz processor, and your processor is better/newer than that. Plus if the trial works fine, the full version should work too.

Thanks tkrave for the relpy. I have now bought the full version and it works really well for what I want to do with it, so for those of you that may have been worried that you don't have a 3GHZ processor try the trial version fist like me and see for yourself if it will work on your system. It is a great programme.

yeah should be fine, just dont expect it to be a quick encode.

Hi,
I will try to post as much detail as possible. What does the video can't catch up message? It happens when I just try to play video in the cut edit tool. I have a dual processor workstation with 3.4 Ghz processor's and 2 GB of memory, and the both CPU peg 100%. I am using a canon vixia camera for my video source. Using windows XP with SP3, ATI FIREmv video card. What are my potenial problems?

Basically it just means that it can't play it back in real time. For me, it happens mostly with HD video. You can still output the file just fine though.

i would say that your problems are because your system can not cope with it to playback in real time, a dual core processor is ok but not great for encoding and 2gb of memory to do real time just i laughable (well thats what the software is doing to you) not me as a personal attack.

the output will be fine though.

I have a fairly fast CPU and i am also using a XFX GTG295 Graphic card and my other system is identical except it has 2x XFX GTX 280 XXX. on both systems the software decides not to use the CUDA at all.

I am wondering if there is a way to FORCE it to use CUDA 50-100% Prefer 100%.
My encoding time for a 2hour movie is around 20 min atm, in just plain mpeg1/2 that is. I can encode a movie through the cpu in 20min, usualy 7min+ depending on lenght, and if i sue software like Badaboom = .mp4 the time is identical except it used CUDA 100%. i am converting a huge movie collection of mine and i wanna get rid of the Subs that some of them have and hard code them in the movie = i have to use TMPGEnc 4 Xpress.

I purchsed this program just for that purpose.
i dont knwo why but it decides to use the CPU 100% and CUDA 0% All the time.
If i could force it to use CUDA when i want i woudl be able to encode 2 movies at the same time.

i tested this with encoding 1 movie with TMPGEnc and the same 1 with Badaboom = 2 movies at the same time and no increase in encoding time at all, took me 14 min for both.

to cut the story short...
IS THERE A WAY TO FORCE IT TO USE CUDA?100%?
Because at the moment the program seemed to be a waist of money if it doesnt want to use the CUDA.

2nd question is in the CUDA optin meny it asks me to pick 1 of the 2 GPU's or 1 of the 2 cards on my other system.

Why does it not want to use Both?

3rd question?: Why does the program fail to load when i tell it to use the 1st GPU, i get a error message and it just fails to load.
I am forced to tell it to use the 2nd gpu else te software does not start at all.

as for my main system:
its a
AMD 4X 940 "3Ghz, can clock to 3.8 but the difference is not that noticable"
4x Hitachi 24/7 Enterprise Storage drive in RAID 0 for extra speed [Movie Source]
Harddrive used for the Output is a:
256Gig SSD OCZ 128mbCache
The Windows drive is a single:
WD 300 Veloceraptor drive 10k RPM with average read of 105mb and write of around 65mb 32MBCache
4Gig Ram @ 1066 OCZ
The raid Cards are 2x Adaptec 1430 4Port Pci Express.
Windows 7 7600 [not cracked, i have access to MS Beta stuff]
Widows scroe is 7.3

CUDA will only be used if you have applied video filters. It won't be used with straight encoding.

When I convert a mp4 file, when its done it I can hear the audio but theres no video.

I would update your codes, and also ask what player you are using to view the end result?

Hello,

I get an error when using the Batch Encode Tool and encoding the videos with prefetch enabled.
The error code is: 0X8007000E

I've googled the error code and it has something to do with: insufficient storage space or memory

My Current PC specs have 8GB of Memory and I have 500 GB of Free Hard Drive Space.
My Operating System is Windows 7 RC 64 BIt, therefore it can handle all of the 8 GB of my system.
By the way, Windows 7 is listed in the Windows 7 / Vista Compatibility Chart.

I don't understand why I get this error.
I'm encoding from a mt2s video file
to Windows Media Video 9 (720x576) and Windows Media Audio 10 (5.1 Surround 48 Khz)

I'm using the latest version of TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress 4.7.1.284

I would like to know if there's a solution this problem (0X8007000E)?

Regards,

Johnny

I am also getting this error and it is very frustrating. I think it may have something to do with encoding from BD m2ts to WMV-HD at the maximum quality. It appears to have less problems with this when encoding at 75% quality but I am still testing to confirm this. I am encoding to 1080p.

its a memory error.

not that your memory is faulty, but becuase the software has done calculations and found that it wouldnt have enough psycial memory to do the process.

i would grab soemthign like tuneup utilties, as that has an excellent memory optimizer which also states how much memory is there and whats been used, and will also recover memory at a certain low level.

also ensure that the hdd's you are encodeds to are high defragged, you have rebooted after and when you encode have the software windows minimized as having it as normal uses memory.

Just saw at Newegg that they now have a standalone version of the Leadtek WinFast PxV1100 SpursEngine card for $219.99. Prior to this, they only offered it as a bundle with TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress.

hi
i was using tmpgenc xpress 4 for over 6 month encoding mkv to wmv-hd
with great success, but my hard drive went tits up and i had to reinstall windows on a new drive and install everthing from scratch.
and for some reason i cant for the life of me get tmpgenc xpress 4 working.
i click start new project, add file, select my avisynith script file and click open and it opens into clip settings, i then click browse on the audio and select the ac3 file for the film and then open, but instead of opening the file a dialog box pops up with.....

"could not open audio part of the file X:\XXXX\XXXX.ac3
it may be an unsupported file or there is only a video stream"

ive never had this error before and i tried with other files and it does the same
i have the same codecs i had before "CCCP"

any help would be great cause this is doing my head in

Same here....see my post below...there must be something we're missing somewhere !

its simple, update to new codecs http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

I have a .mpg file I want to convert to WMV using TMPGEnc 4 Express.
I downloaded the trial version and it works well.
I purchase the Retail version and it doesn't anymore, it tells me the file cannot be opened.

Any idea ?

By the way, versions are:
TE4XP_Trial_4.7.1.284_setup_en.exe (works in opening a .mpg)
and
TE4XP_Retail_4.7.1.284_setup_en.exe (don't work in opening a .mpg)

also the Trial version gives me 2 warnings (GEForce CUDA something as well as SPursEngine not available)
the Retail only gives me one (the SpursEngine wasn't shown).

Thanks again...

Contact their email support, hopefully they'll be able to help you:
http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/support/support.html

The trial includes the trial for the SpursEngine Plug-in, but for the retail version, it is not included; you have to buy the SpursEngine Plug-in separately. That's why you don't get the warning in the retail version.

Hi all, help please
How can I calculate the bitrate when you compress to divx?

For example, I have an mkv, the video bitrate is 9000 kbs, nominal bitrate 9500, how can I know that when the bitrate should compress to divx?
thank you very much



----------------------------------------------------------------------

HOLA a todos, ayuda por favor,
¿como puedo calcular el bitrate cuando comprimo a divx ?

por ejemplo, tengo un mkv, el video tiene bitrate 9.000 kbs, bitrate nominal 9.500, ¿como puedo saber que bitrate debe tener cuando la comprimo a divx?
muchas gracias

Since my aged Athlon X2 needs > 13 hours to transcode a Full HD h.264/VC1 stream to PAL MPG2 with VBR/2passes, I considered buying a Spursengine card (Leadtek) and the TmpgEnc Plugin. However some reports here and there indicate that the encoder settings are somewhat limited when using the Spursengine plugin and also the resulting quality is worse. It also looks suspicious that the CPUs used for comparison are low end to mid range and that the test settings always include additional filters. Besides only numbers for CBR encoding are given and there's no word about limitations or quality issues.
So in a nutshell:

1) How many frames per second will the Spursegine plugin approximately reach for transcoding Full HD h.264/VC1 streams to PAL MPG2 with VBR (1 pass and 2 passes) and high quality settings?
2) Is the quality comparable to that reached by the CPU encoder with the same (or if not possible: high) settings?
3) Is 2 pass VBR encoding possible at all with the Spursengine plugin?
4) Can the motion prediction settings be influenced with the plugin and if not: which is a comparable (quality wise) setting for the CPU encoder?
5) Is scaling done by the Spursengine or the CPU? If it's done by the Spursengine: are all scaling filters (e.g. Lanczos) available?

Sorry can't answer all your questions because but I know that SpursEngine is only capable of 1 pass encoding. If you prefer quality over speed, then you will need to use CPU encoding.
Scaling is done by SpursEngine when you are upscaling SD to HD using the Super Resolution function. I believe it's a proprietary scaling filter that you can't change.

Keep in mind that these are not limitations of the plug-in, but of the SpursEngine hardware itself. Any computer or software that uses SpursEngine will have the same limitations.

Don't know why I didn't think of this before...just go to the specs page for the SpursEngine Plug-In:
http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/te4xp_spurs_spec.html

It lists all the available output settings for SpursEngine encoding.

Thanks for the reply. Anyway, I decided to update my system to a Core i7-920 (@3.15GHz) in the meantime and now the conversion flies. It's a speedup of at least factor 5-6 compared to my X2 4200+ with the same quality settings.
I didn't do a fair comparison with exactly the same stream, but my last conversion of an h.264 Full-HD movie to MPGEG2 PAL needed only 1h30min with 2-pass VBR and "high" motion prediction setting.

Admittedly, the update was about 600€ while the Spursengine + Plugin would have been around 230€ I think, but I figure the value for the money is still much higher even if the general system speedup (+increased RAM size) due to the upgrade and the lesser quality settings of the Spursengine are ignored.

Indeed I can barely remember a performance boost of this dimension in any of my last harware upgrades. I guess the only one to come close was that from a 486-33 to a P90 back in the old days.
