When I open some MP4's and FLV's, they appear black and white and diagonally slanted. Am I missing a codec? Is there any fix that anyone knows?

THANKS!

Hi.

I have installed a new nvidia GTX 750 Ti (instead GTX 650 Ti).

Recoding a video file with GTX 650 Ti the GPU usage is about 25/30%, but recoding the same video file (with same output setings) with GTX 750 Ti the GPU usage is about 90/95%...

What's the issue? Don't you want higher GPU usage?

In any case, there was a new update a few days ago which fixes an issue with Maxwell optimization.

Hi tkrave, you are right ;-)

1- Why for the same work there much difference between 2 video cards?. This is not normal.
2- I can not to use batch encode with several video files using GTX 750 because the performance is very low (>90% GPU usage only one video file) compared to GTX 650 (less GPU usage).

For example encoding (CUDA decode and encode) with GTX 750, 3 identical video files at same time in batch encode tool. Time about 12 minutes. Encoding only 1 video file take about 4 minutes. Not diference between encode 3 or 1 file at same time.
Encoding with GTX 650 the same 3 identical video files in batch encode tool is about 7 minutes...

The fact, now to use stardar decoder + CUDA encoder is faster than to use CUDA decoder + CUDA encoder.

The problem may be the nvidia drivers, I dont know.

Edit: New Tmpgenc version 5.5.0.105 fix an error occurred when optimizing the CUDA acceleration on a "Maxwell" core GPU (i.e. GTX 750).

Install the new version and the high GPU usage and encoding times are the same.

Hi again.

I updated to the latest nvidia drivers (340.52) and now I can not encode with CUDA in TMPGEnc VMW (Video Encoder tab do not show CUDA option).

I have found this coment in nvidia forums about this issue:

"What has been removed since 340.43 is the NVCUVENC which is the old CUDA-based video encoder API. Its replacement is the NVENC API but is only available for 600-series and later GPUs."

It is possible that the problem of nvidia Maxwell performance in TMPGEnc is the use of NVCUVENC API...

Then, Tmpgenc team should change from NVCUENC API to NVENC API in future versions ;-)

Fine. But how do we solve this issue? So far nothing has been done by TMPGEnc to get rid off this annoying problem.

I want to use CUDA because the standard encoder are far too slow.

as i mix and cobble various vids with the "free" version, is there a way to delete the audio portions? the idea being to add a sound track later.

Hello! I have 2 important questions, in this days try this product, is good but
There are options for BD authoring without recoding and it does directly 1:1?
I have created: intro+movie+trailer, after authoring this becomes a single file!
normally in the any BD structure are separated this 3 videos.
there is an option that allows me to have them all and 3 separated?

Are you putting them in separate tracks, or in the same track?

After editing a clip, I am trying to encode file in wmv. However, it just gives me a status "preparing output", and keeps that way, encoding never starts. I installed new K-Lite codec pack, and Windows Media Encoder, as suggested in Help, but still no use. Also, tried in other formats, same thing happens. Any ideas?

I don't know who it was who suggested the K-Lite codecs pack, but that package is nothing than a piece of junk collection of all sorts of useless codecs.
To avoid futher problems, i suggest that you download both Revo Uninstaller and CCleaner.
First you use Revo to remove the codecs pack entirely and when that is done, you use CCleaner to remove the rest of the garbage it has left behind in your computers registry.

In general, i don't suggest that you use WMV, that is also a piece of junk that only belongs in the past.
Encode instead to MP4 H264, much more stable, much more support by all media players, plus you can play a lot more with the bitrates to fit them to your need.

I have to agree with the above user, that codec pack is junk. I use cole2k advanced codec pack with the full install

have to ask, whats your system specs and what is the reason behind wanting to use wmv

I am trying to convert a video deposition; from VOB file; to MPEG-2.

But I can't figure out how to upload additional clips.

Also, am getting Error Message: ''Unsupported File. Error: 0x80048003''.

Is there a local class I can take? I'm in Houston, Texas. I want to master this thing.

Need Help ASAP! Thank you.

Read the help file; it explains how to do things.

To add more clips in Timeline mode, there is an Add Clip button above the timeline. You can hover your pointer over a button to get a description.

In Normal mode, you can use the Source Wizard or Add File button on the right-hand side of the window in the Edit Stage.

For VOB files, you probably want to use the Source Wizard and select the "From a DVD, etc." option.

Not sure about the error code you're getting. You might want to contact support:

follow this instruction:

it works great on my computer.

When frameserving from Sony Vegas, I just noticed that an MP4 H.264 file encoded with VMW5 displays changed levels, and contrast is lost =(

I am doing research on frameserving and video editing (I am still a newbie, but I want the best quality I can get with the most control)

I came across TMPGEnc, and had plans to frameserve it to another program for personal reasons. I mostly want to achieve the best quality/speed ratio possible, I am currently using vegas, but it sometimes crashes, it is a decent program surely, but I am tired of it crashing during various renders and I see a program that can is stable and reliable. If I edit a video in TMPGEnc, will it be similar to the original piece I used on its result?

My apologies for asking so abruptly, thank you for reading.

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 is not a lossless editing program. It's primary function is encoding; it will re-encode everything you output.

You can re-encode at the same (or higher) levels and the output might be similar in quality, but it will not be exactly the same.

TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 4 is a lossless editor; it will only re-encode frames where a change is made (cuts, joins, transition effects, etc.). However, it is only for MPEG video (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) and it can be finicky on what can and can't be smart rendered.

Frequently, when I load an AVI file, the video comes up as horizontal bars. How do I fix this?

Hi Dez
I had the same problem. Just read the answer tkrave gave me 4 questions down from yours. The one that starts "cant read avi files". His answer fixed everything. Really quite simple :)

I think currently no TMPGEnc software supports 10bit-depth encoded files. Since they are becoming increasing popular (more quality on the same bitrate) it's a pity Mastering Works 5, Smart Renderer 4 etc. cannot open them. Please add support.

10bit-depth output information links here:

http://www.x264.nl/x264_main.php

The Profile Format of these files is: High 10@(AVC Level). Here you can download an example file (High 10@L3.0): https://www.mediafire.com/?73rgr38ckps156c

had to delete the previous message as after all these years the forum still hasnt had an edit button added.

Yeah, i just "complained" that they dont have something like or just the avi 10bit that sony vegas and adobe have for rendering. and i did the complaint because its NEEDED when you use noise filters to avoid the chroma banding.

also they really do need to add support for 10bit videos for import aswell as its a royal pain in the rear having to render 10 bit into 8 bit just for the software to work with it

Will it be possible to use a picture (e.g. a PNG with transparency) as title in a future version of SR4?

Image files can now be used with v.4.2.0.64. Nice move, Pegasys!

I'm considering purchasing Video Mastering Works 5 (downloaded trial today) as a replacement for a time consuming workflow that was developed by a Sony Vegas user a few years ago to achieve super high quality H.264 encodes. His tutorial made use of Handbrake, a free program that uses the x264 encoder. As I see that VMW5 now utilizes x264, I believe it will be possible to duplicate the configuration settings to achieve the same result.

I'm not very technical when it comes to settings like this, can anyone here assist me with setting up a template to match the x264 settings seen in this video: http://vimeo.com/24640614 starting at 7:42? If I can achieve the same results with VMW5 by frameserving directly from Vegas, then I will buy the software.
