Can you save the playlist as a document or text file?

Not that I know of. You can only save it as a Authoring Works 4 project file.

I would like to be able to save a text copy of the playlist to be used as a liner directory. I would be very useful to have this feature.

Hello, i have trial version TMPGEnc authoring works. This program cannot load any subtitle stream with import from full Blu-Ray disc. Why?

I do find the color black very dark when working with the program. Is there a possibilty to change these. I do mean not the MENU of a DVD but the program itself.

There are no options to change the skin of the interface. You may need to adjust the brightness/contrast settings of your monitor if it appears overly dark.

I just wanted to inform you that the installer fails when I try to install the trial version of TMPGenc MovieStyle (TMS_Trial_1.0.6.41_setup_en.exe), on a 64 bit english windows 7 (beta ofcourse). I know it is outside the environment the program is supposed to work in, so im not dissapointed or anything like that. Just wanted to tip you, cause if the installer is all that keeps this software from working on this platform, it might be a quick fix.

I tried to run it as an admin, in regular, vista compatible and xp compatible mode. It stops at "configuring installer". Then it quits and windows start creating a bug report for the beta program.

It seems to be a great product, so i am looking forward to testing it in the future:)

A user who was trying to install TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress ran into a problem during install on Windows 7, but he was able to get around it by using the command line. It's possible it's the same type of error.

I recommended TMPGenc to good friend of mine a week ago. Typically he uses Fairuse Wizard for his encoding, but after hearing about all the good things I had to say about TMPGenc from me, he gave it a shot. He got back to me the other day and claims that the same DVD to DivX encode at the same settings as those he uses in Fairuse Wizard take 9hrs in TMPGenc as opposed to 3hrs in Fairuse.

Does anyone know why this may be the case?

Hard to say without knowing the settings he's using. Got any details?

It could just be that particular encode - more fast action scenes maybe? My old P4 3.2GHz would vary from 4 hours up to 12 hours encoding similar length DVDs. (and using TMPGenc Xpress 3.0) Anyway, my new Q6600 quad core encodes everything I throw at it in 1 hour flat. So I recommend u get a Quad Core :)

Is there any way to add mkv with H264 support to TMPGenc Moviestyle. If this is possible then this software would be perfect!!


Cheers everyone,

I see how to add transitions between clips and to the last clip to fade out. My question is how to add it to the top of the first clip to fade in. The fade transition has a fade in/out, so it seems like it should be able to.
Second part, is there a way to add text? Any plans to add this in the future?
Thanks.

For now it can only add the transition to the end of a clip. A workaround would be to make a solid black clip that lasts for a few seconds. You can then make it fade out/in to your "real" first clip.
If you're using a camcorder, you could probably just record video in a pitch black room or something.

There's currently no way to add text. Would be a good option for credits and titles and such. Hopefully they'll add it in the future.

Hi, I installed the latest trial version of xpress and cannot enable GPU encoding. Everything relating to the GPU, under the preferences menu, is greyed out. I have two 8800 GTS cards with the latest driver installed(Jan 14, 2009) running on Vista Ultimate x64. I have attempted installing version 2.1 and 2.0 of the cuda driver, but nothing has worked. GPU encoding works fine in both badaboom and powerdirector. Any idea why I would not be able to enable it in TMPGEnc?

Thanks.

From the product webpage:

"The GeForce8800 GTX/GTS video card using the G80 core is not currently supported."

I should have looked better. I just assumed since it worked with other software it should work with this. Thanks a lot for the reply.

Wouldn't worry too much about the cuda support anyway. It actually makes conversions slower on my system (QX9650 quad and 8800 GTS 512 2xSLI), and on many files the conversion stops with error "parameter is incorrect" at the very end even when not using any filters at all!

Well, yes it will be slower than the CPU in most cases. If you're not using filters or MPEG decoding, then you should turn it off.

I have enabled CUDA but when encoding program show 0% CUDA.

Can you help me ?

Can some one please tell me the best settings for encoding a m2ts file or vob file for apple tv. I already moviestyle but I purchased Xpress for more editing options. Thanks

Below are the specs from Apple's website. You should use the MPEG-4 AVC output and you can probably follow Apple's H.264 specs (at least, that's what MovieStyle seems to have done).

Video formats supported:
-H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

-iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic), or high-definition 720p

-MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

Audio formats supported
-AAC (16 to 320 Kbps); protected AAC (from iTunes Store); MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps); MP3 VBR; Apple Lossless; AIFF; WAV; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound pass-through

Hi all

I have a trying to convert a DVR-MS file from Vista Media Center to divx. It's natively widescreen.

Regardless of what settings I use I can NOT get TMPGEnc 4.6.3.268 to output anything that isn't 4:3.

Aspect Ratio in Clip Properties is set to Pixel 16:11 (PAL 16:9)
This is also set in the Format section.

What am I doing wrong ?

Which DivX Profile are you using? Are you in Advanced mode or Basic Mode?

I can keep things widescreen with Encode mode set to Advanced and then using no profile, Home theater profile, or HDTV profile.

Are there black bars at the top and bottom or is the image squashed?

My problem
I have a two hour concert that I added chapter breaks to in between songs

I want a title page that says "play all" and "song selection"

if you click "song selection" it takes you to the next page and shows the list of songs(chapters) and you can click whatever song(chapter) you want to watch.

I keep getting a page for each chapter instead of just one page listing all the chapters. I don't need thumbnails either, just the name of the song

thanks

That's bizarre...he just copied and pasted that from Jon's post!

>That's bizarre...he just copied and pasted that from Jon's post!

Interesting...I thought it was very familiar but did not bother to re-read Jon's post before linking to my reply.

I know, in the mpeg tools section, there is a demuxer and a muxer for MPEG 2 Program Streams.

If I have a folder full of already-multiplexed MPEG streams (Program Streams), can I point the batch tool at it and have it demux and re-mux in one step?

The batch tools is disabled in the trial version.

The specific need is to correct errors in the original mux process.

Thanks,
Dan

Unfortunately, no. The batch tool is for projects that are ready to be encoded, so your files will have to demuxed, muxed, edited, formatted, etc. before they are put into the batch encode tool.
