Hi there!

I am interesting for 64bit edition of TMPGEnc Xpress version. Are you planning create it for users?

why a 64bit Version for this app. it uses still all cores and as many memory as available from windows. 32bit apps are well supported on seven.

It would be useful since Xpress4 on German Win7 64bit refuses to install at all and stalls the complete system. That's not what I'd expect from an application like that. ALL other 32bit apps installed perfectly und run as expected....

so only on german it does not? - it is independed

Hi, i'd like to know if TMPG Xpress is working fine on Windows 7.
I'm from Argentina and my native language is spanish, so thats the reason for my poor english i hope you could understand me.

It should work fine on Windows 7, though the website says that behavior is not guaranteed on 64-bit versions.

Any users out there who have tried this on Windows 7 64-bit? Does it work? I know the official word is unsure, so just wondering if anyone took a shot anyways?!

it works fine on seven! even on 64bit.

>it works fine on seven! even on 64bit.

...couldn't really confirm this. Didn't even install. Stalls system.

II'm using Win 7 64bit and I installed TmpgEnc Xpress, but it's not working with matroska files. Even doesn't in Win 7 32bit. So, it's not really compatible with 7.

>Win7 64 bit does not work well with this encoder, it crash my system once it get to 80% of any jobs. It still need more patches or come out with a 64 bit edition of the software.

to clarify - what version of TMPGENC XP are u all using? wich does't work?

Do you have Norton Internet Security or some other type of Anit-virus software? Try turning it off and disconnecting from the internet before you install.

>>Win7 64 bit does not work well with this encoder, it crash my system once it get to 80% of any jobs. It still need more patches or come out with a 64 bit edition of the software.

Can you give us some details on what you are converting? Input file type and size, output format and settings, your system specs, etc.

That goes for everyone with a problem; include as much info as possible!

Hi
I have TMPGenc on two pc one on windows and the other on windows Vista. I am having problems with Window Vista after installing and i click on add file it say that it can only load the Audio part. The files play on my VLC player and others players that i have with no problems. Maybe i have to format something on my TMPGenc for my Vista so i can add my files. Can tell someone tell me what to do.

unistall your codec pack and go install the codec pack from codecguide.com

Hi
I have TMPGenc Xpress 4.7 and when Add file a message come up sayinf that it can only play the part. I have Window Vista and the .AVI files play on my VLC player no problems. Can some tell me what is the problem. Thanks

Does it play in Windows Media Player? That's a somewhat more accurate gauge to see if it'll work in 4.0 XPress or not.

No it can not play on Window Media

Try to check what codec the video uses. You can check the codec information in VLC by going to the Tools menu and selecting Codec Information. You can also use programs like GSpot to find out the codec information. It's possible that the video is playable with one of VLC's codecs, but you don't have the actual codec installed, which is why it won't play in Windows Media Player and 4.0 XPress.

After you've found which codec the video uses, find it on the internet, download it and install it. Then see if your video plays in Windows Media Player and 4.0 XPress.

what file? type extension? do u mean?

I'm new to tmpg4 so please help if you know how to encode *.2mts files to mpg4 including subtitles and audio streams.

Thank You

I am attemting to make an iPhone/iTouch comaptible video.

The video looks good but I get a "pulsing effect", about once per second.
It only happens when I use the 2-pass VBR setting...

could be the added frame into the video, so the repeat few frames per second could give the pulsing effect.

>could be the added frame into the video, so the repeat few frames per second could give the pulsing effect.

What added frame? Could you be more specific?

TIA

if you have an original video which is different to the frame rate you have encoded to it will either reduce the frames per second or add them.

This is probably what's known as 'key-pop'. In format settings, under AVC change the GOP length from the default 33 frames to something longer -- 150 frames. If the effect is still there, at least it will occur at 5 second intervals instead of every 33 frames.

i notice Videocharge studio has great watermark features for videos

I want to add text slanted on my videos on tmpgenc. but they only have vertical and horizontal styles no slanted. any1 know how i can make watermark text slanted

Not possible. There's no true watermark option in 4.0 XPress; you can only use the subtitle function which is quite limited as I'm sure you've found out. It would be nice if you could use an image as a watermark, but a watermark feature just doesn't exist right now. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to implement since the trial version adds a watermark to all encoded video.
I've requested this before so hopefully they're listening.

so hopefully they're listening

lol

Hey it could happen! And monkeys might fly out of my butt!

well ive also asked them to do several things like enable logo/subtitle blurring, just like edit studio but with function like msu filter. and the moron came back with "oh there is" it turned out that it blurred the whole damned screen lol.

would also be nice if they added filters like with adobe primer pro where you can tilt and re do angels and then with sony vegas where it allows the rotation dn crop

They responding to me saying they can do it for 1 million dollars. crazy

I have some PAL DVDs that include menus (British TV shows). I can't seem to find a way to convert them to NTSC that keeps the top menu intact. I would think if there's any way to do it, TMPG would have one. But I can't find it.

Any help is much appreciated.

4.0 XPress won't import menus, only the video/audio content.

I wont explain the whole process here but it's rather easy using IFOEDIT (free)(www.ifoedit.com) and the original DVD files. Backup the .IFO and .BUP files so you can revert if you have to. This wont mess with the VOBs.

Look on www.videohelp.com for doing this. Look for the quick method. It will covert PAL to NTSC and maintain all menu functionality and takes around 5 to 10 minutes after some practice. The only problem will be the menu buttons, when selected, the highlighting will be below the menu item on some DVDs but it works fine in any case.

Hey guys, just bought TMPGEnc.

I have an issue.

I'm encoding a lot of separate clips into a bunch of separate mpg files. At first, it's going great, but then all of a sudden it stops. It never stops at a percentage less than 100%, it just fills the blue bar all the way up, and then doesn't seem to want to load the next clip and start encoding.

There's no error message or anything, and my Elapsed time is constantly increasing.

I don't get the "finished" dialog box either. All of the menu bar buttons at the top are ghosted out except for "Options"

Thanks!

One of your clips my be corrupted. It may not be enough to affect playback, but it is affecting the encoding process. Try load them into the batch encode tool as individual clips.

Hi
I am trying to encode video that I have shot with a camcorder and edit.
it's PAL interlace and basic quality in term of noise as it is a home camcorder.
I am very disappointed with the result.
The divx coding is configured to HDTV 3000kbps with multipass of 2.
I am getting quite a big file, about 600Mbytes for half and hour.
If I compare it to DIVX movies that I have, which were ripped from DVD, the output that I got from TMPGEND Express is very poor qulity while the bit rate of it is higher than the Movie. in the movie more than 1.5 hour are in 700Mbyte.
what do I miss?
how can I make my conversion more quality?
thanks
Elihay

Is it accurate to compare a home video with a commercial DVD?

How does the quality compare with the original footage? This is the question you should be asking. If the source is of a "basic quality" you can't expect the output to be any better.

Sure
I am not expecting the quality to be like the DVD movie and better than the original camcorder video. I mean that I get encoding noise, like the mpeg squares which are seen clrearly at the video that I created, compared to the DVD DIVX with much lower bitrate and much less encoding noise seen.

ok this means that you are either setting it so that its trying to encode a large film inot a small size which quality will always go slightly, or you have not got it set right so that instead of like xvid for example, if you only do a single pass and not a multiple pass, th quality will deminish.

maybe the codec itself is currupt. so try updating it or re installing it as this could also cuase the instructions of the encoder to go quite a bit and mis place intrsuctions .

Hi Iam trying to add hardcodec subtitles to a movie via the filter "subtitles", I can import the srt file, but when I encode the movie the subtitles has the <i> </i> showing and not doing the italic effect that the tag is suppossed to do.....

any ideas how to fix this?

To my knowledge, you can't; 4.0 XPress simply doesn't recognize srt/html tags.

xpress can import the subs, but will only work with its own "custom" layout ie it wont work of the users subs from file.

Do you have any plans to support OpenCL instead of just CUDA? Even NVIDIA will be supporting OpenCL. Nvidia product never work correctly with my video editing setup but I would really love to have OpenCL support for accelerated encoding with my ATI products.
