I believe that's sort of a "rating" where the level will be higher for videos that have been watched more. Thus, you can organize videos by how popular they are.
IMHO software CPU based encoding is always as good or better than using CUDA or even Sandy Bridge. The only thing CUDA and Sandy bridge offers is speed.
After simply cutting out a short part out a Blu-ray .m2ts file, how can I tell TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 to simply export the edited file without the cut out part? Does it have to re-encode it for hours?
If this can happen by setting the Output format to be exactly the same as the original .m2ts file, where can *all* original file's properties be viewed so that they can be entered correctly, is there no simpler way to instruct the program to make no other changes, just cut out the small part out of the file as edited?
That way the operation should take as long as it takes to copy paste the original file more or less. Can this be done?
Thank you for your reply. I have tried to cut out a small portion out of a 30GB Blu-ray .m2ts file without success using videoredo, tssniper, h264_ts cutter, and tsMuxeR. They are just too buggy for the end result to be OK.
Any suggestions as to another one I can still try?
TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 and TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 have smart rendering. As long as your Blu-ray is MPEG-2 encoded and conforms to the official specs, it will not be re-encoded except for the edited parts.
I'm trying to find a capable video editing program.
I need these features:
import and edit wtv files (both h264 & mpeg streams)
output them as wtv files
preserve closed captions
cut commercials
open two (or more - but at least two) videos simultaneously in order to cut and paste frames from one video to another.
Can any of the TMPGEnc do these things? If not, can you point me in the right direction?
TAW4 can import MPEG-2 wtv files and cut commercials, but it cannot output as wtv since this is a program for making DVDs, Blu-rays, and DivX Ultra.
None of the TMPGEnc products can output wtv files nor can they import h.264 wtv. TMPGEnc products with a cut-editor can cut commercials and combine two or more videos in any way you want, though not through copy and paste; it's more a process of splitting clips and then arranging the pieces.
Check out a program called "Videoredo." I have it alongside of Masterworks 5. It can output wtv files, and it has an auto-detect commercials function that edits them out automatically. It can also convert to other output types, but I like the options available in Masterworks 5 for converting. To cut and paste frames of one video to another I think you need a dedicated video editing program (like Sony Vegas), but they do not typically make good converting programs.
Good luck
I just upgraded from TMGEnc. However, where it used to take seconds to import a file to work on (.avi, .mkv, .mpg, etc), it now takes almost 30 seconds for each file to come in. Is there a setting I need to adjust? Thanks!
I purchased the upgrade to 5, but have not been able to get it to install. Any ideas??? I double click the exe file it goes through the install, then an ugly gray box pops up with message: Install Failed OS--------
Has anyone else run into this error? Am running Quad Xeon 3.4GHz and 4GB RAM - should be enough to make it run. Windows XP Pro
Is this software compatible with XP or is it Windows 7 only??????
XP Pro does not have SP 3, the last update for 64bit XP Por was SP2. This is not a 32bit system.
Got no helpful support with this problem other than that the software does not work on 64bit systems and toght luck. NO REFUND, and now they have blocked the licence on my version 4. This company stinks. They are useless and have a bad product with no support.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT FOR A 64BIT SYSTEM. IT DOES NOT WORK.
I'm not sure exactly why you are having issues with your particular install attempt and perhaps, by now you've solved it. I just want to let everyone know that I've been using TMPGEnc products for years now; TMPGEnc 2.5 all the way up to VMW 5 and including the DVD creating tiltes. All of these run just fine under 64Bit OS's from Microsoft. I urge everyone to stop blaming OS and software vendors for the users inability to READ software and system requirements prior to purchasing and installing them. 99.9% of all computer problems start between the Keyboard and the chair while the remaining happen honestly.
Hallo,
Is this possible with this software to get a 25P MPEG2 file from a source 24P MKV file by speeding up the source stream - NOT by adding a duplicate frame.
(and to get a 24P MKV movie from a 25P source by slowing down)
When using TPMPG4Express, I was able to convert .vob/.mpg video files to .mp4 files with almost the same high quality at about half the file size.
With the new Video Author 5, the rendering menu is different and the file size savings are now only about 20%.
Being a total dweeb when it comes to understanding any of the settings, I am asking for assistance is telling what settings in Version 5 should I be using to get the best quality mp4 at about 50% the file size of the original vob/mpg2?
Here's what I had in Version 4 Express:
Video - Main
4.1 > less
720 x 480
29.97 Progressive
2 pass variable
3500 - 9000
63 motion search
0 bit rate buffer
NTSC
detect scene change
Audio @ 44100 224kbs
What do I need to set in Version 5 to get comparable (or even better) conversion results?
I have an authored disk. Has 5 tracks. I want to change one of them. I have long since deleted the project file. Is there any way I can retrieve the menu design from the disk?
Otherwise I have to recreate it from scratch.
Alternatively, could I author a new disk with just that track, and then rename the created files to the correct numbers (VTS_03_0.BUP, VTS_0_0.IFO, VTS_03_1.VOB) and replace them in the file set and reburn?
