I am importing AVCHD video which was encoded/captured with H.264 at 11 mb/s 1080i through a Hauppauge HD PVR. This is live TV and what I want to do is edit the commercials out and create menus etc. and output (in AVCHD format if possible) to a 25 GB blue ray disk without re-encoding. (so I'll have about 4 hours of video on the disk). 1) Can I have TMP not re-encode? Even if I set the option to not encode in video properties, it still will. The file size is much larger and I have to manually change the mb/s to reduce the file size (the default shows at about 25 mb/sec and the file size at about 47 GB). So I have to tell it to re-encode at 11 mb/s when I'd prefer no re-encoding at all.
2) If I just import the video and then cut out the commercials in this program I get audio sync issues (randomly- not at all cuts) so I have to do my editing in another program and save it as an AVCHD and then import into TMP. The original file can be captured in either .TS or .M2TS format by the Hauppauge HD PVR. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Authoring Works 4 can't output in H.264, so that's why it's re-encoding everything. Since it outputs as MPEG-2, the bitrate increases to maintain quality since MPEG-2 isn't as good at compression as H.264.

When will Authoring Works 4 (or next version) be powered for H.264, i.e. _CAN_ output AVCHD H.264 including H.264 smart rendering? Is there a roadmap to H.264?

Hello, will you guys be willing to consider re-adding in the Manual IVTC operation of TMPGENC Plus 2.5 with Hybrid IVTC Support? By this I mean that, ok, for the pattern "10", all users of the TMPGenc Plus 2.5 Manual ivtc'er all knows that it refers to NTSC Video (30fps), so we can set 10 as (30fps), and for the standard patterns such as "1001001010", we can associate it as the standard "2:3/3:2 pulldown". This, for me and dozens of others, would be a big selling point. I don't really care for the conversion operations, i'm more into the IVTC aspect of the encoder, which always brings me back to tmpgenc plus 2.5.

Also, if you guys consider this, can you make it so that we can have the option to create a timecode file for the hybrid ivtc handling? I'd be willing to pay a lot of money for a program with an ivtc'er as good as the one in TMPGenc Plus 2.5 than can also handle hybrid material. Hell, i'd pay top dollar just for a program with the Ivtc'er alone. :)

fsfgh

My TMPEGExp quit working and will not open. This happened after I used DEP to open all files, then used it again to return to the original setting.
Anyone experienced something similar?

After creating a mp4 file, the mp4 doesn't start streaming until loaded.

I read you can use MP4Box or a similar tool to move the boxes to the beginning of the file.

Does XPress allow you to do something like this or do I have to use another tool??

Thanks.

Hi Guy,

is there anyone can help for me?

Could not open an audio only file "

i tried many different 1080i .ts file and it keep error , except 720i .ts video file.

thank for reading

Hello,

I bought TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress 2 yrs ago,wanna ask

Can TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress cut (.ts) 1080p video without re-encode?

Because i tired a software called "VideoReDo TVSuite4" can make it and quick.

What i want to do is...

Learn More About MPEG Video

Why is Native MPEG editing important to you?
MPEG is a highly compressed format. Most full-featured video editors like Premiere, Ulead, Avid, and Pinnacle convert MPEG files into uncompressed video for editing and then re-encode it when saving the edits. The result is that it can take hours to save your video rather than just minutes as it does with VideoReDo.

More importantly, each recoding results in a reduction of quality. With VideoReDo's perfected smart rendering technology you can edit again and again without degrading any of your precious videos.

Works with many formats
MPEG1, MPEG2, Transport Streams (.ts), Windows MCE DVRMS files, Siemens M740AV .CRID files, and Topfield .rec files. The result is that VideoReDo TVSuite works with the widest variety of TV PVR and DVR formats.

Nope. 4.0 XPress is a video converter, so it's main purpose is converting and re-encoding.

TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 and TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 have Smart Rendering which will allow you to edit MPEG video without re-encoding.

Thank for you information, it's useful.

well not true.

if you encode the end project as the original files then it should be using smart encoding, where it only encodes where it needs to.

What's not true?

4.0 XPress does not have smart rendering; you make it sound like it does.
Would it be awesome if it had it? Of course. However, it simply doesn't have it.

yep sory i was thinking of works 4.

I need to do a Bluray with the H264 codec! The H264 does not use TMPGEnc to Bluray! Does anyone know another encoder to show me? Adobe Encore I do not like! Does FFDSHOW do with Bluray H264? What preset to encode video with a Bluray H264 in FFDSHOW?
Thanks

I tried the new iPad profile. "High quality" settings result in 640x480 resolution - that's a joke right? You call that high quality?!

Looks like the High Quality profile is just a VGA profile...possibly just carried over from the iPod specs. Just create a custom profile to get the full 1024x786 resolution or even 1280x720 resolution. Just right-click on the "High Quality" box and select "Custom setting Wizard" to create your own settings.

Anyone have explanation of best settings to make DVD? Also , I make 1 DVD which works in DVD player and the next one I make comes out as movie and can only be played in a computer. What am I doing wrong? Can mpeg files be put into the authoring works or do they have to be m2v? I'm really confused. thanks

The default settings are pretty good as is, I think. If a DVD is working in your computer but not in your player, then it might be the DVD media itself. Or, if you changed the bitrate settings, the bitrate might be too high for the set-top player, but fine for the computer. Just my theories.

You can put in almost any kind of video file into Authoring Works; it doesn't have to be m2v. However, if you want Smart Rendering activated (no re-encoding on output), then they'll have to be some kind of MPEG-2 that is already compliant with your output format.

thanks - I'll check that out.

HI

I have a question, I-m working with TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress, I-m trasnforming a video (M2V File)in Progresive Method NTCS 29.97 FPS.

Can someone tell me how see if my M2V files are in DF or NDF (Drop Frame or Non Drop Frame)?????


Thanks

I have a concert that is 35 individual songs that i want to make one concert.
I added them all as tracks and now when i watch the concert back each time is goes from one track to another it pauses for a second or 2.
I want it to be seamless.

Should i have created just one track and added all 35 videos to this and if so can i still chose individual songs from the menu?

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

It has been my experience that when many clips are added to the same track the join points are seamless and then of cource you would use the edit function to add a chapter mark at the beginning of each song/clip

>

I wish I had discovered this fantastic program sooner.
Is there an option to add automatic chapters to a project every 5 or 10 minutes thruout the film?
thanks

Yes, there is.

Go to the clip edit screen and click on the "edit menu" button (the button isn't acutally labeled "edit menu", it just has an icon of a contextual menu -- see screenshot). Then select chaptering tool. Or just hit ctrl + k to open the chaptering tool window. You'll be able to set chapters automatically through various means, such as specified intervals (every x minutes) or by setting how many chapters you want.
