Why the need for windows media player? There are so many great and free alternatives that do the same work much better and without the f****n DRM!

I'm guessing it has to do with DirectShow. Developers often use the Windows Media Player SDK instead of the DirectShow SDK because it is easier to work with.

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.

Hi,

I've been using TAW4 to import .avi files from my Canon S1000 camera. Of the 40+ tracks I've done none of them have the audio in sync with the video. (What is really bad is I deleted the .avi's before I looked at the output.) Anyway, when trying to "fix" the out of sync audio in TAW4, sometimes it is in sync and sometimes it is out of sync and all I do is play the same track over and over. I can not figure out how to fix this problem. Any help would be appreciated. I love the ease of the TAW4 product but it doesn't seem to work for my application.

TIA,

Keith

I'M tryng Karma with WIN 7 64 and it don't work. With Vista 64 it was great. Are Karma and Win 7 compatible?.
Thank you

Hi staff,
I'm using TMPGEnc DVD Author 4. I create DivX Ultra NTSC from a Xvid video file (800Kbps, ~350Mb). When encoding (output) it show only ~23 minutes done, faster than TMPGEnc Xpress 4 (more than 1 hours) :>
I try many options in TMPGEnc Xpress 4 but it can't compare with best speed TMPGEnc DVD Author 4's encoder. Anh the quality of both is same!
I'm using DivX 7 Pro and lastest Xvid codec.
One ~23 minutes and one more than 1 hours.
Can you explain for me! Thanks!

I'm guessing it's Authoring Works 4's smart rendering engine, which doesn't re-encode video unless it has to. Didn't realize it could be applied to Xvid video, but perhaps as long as it's compatible with DivX players, it can utilize smart rendering when output as DivX? In the Source stage, do you see the smart rendering icon in the clip list (a blue "SR" that appears on the clip thumbnail)?

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.

こんにちは。韓国のメガスタディ（株）のリュイン国です。
現在、お客様のTMPGEnc 4.0 XpressをTEST中です
Panasonic HPX - 150カメラPanasonic 16GB SD CARDで撮影して、MTSファイルをWMV9でエンコードして、使用しています。
SD CARDには、4GB（26分06秒）ずつのクリップが生成され、TMPGEnc 4.0で複数のクリップを1つに合わせて1つのファイルに抽出します。
しかし、この過程で、自動的に作成されたクリップの接続部分が映像と音声の両方5fps〜10fpsが抜けて見えるという問題が発生しました。
もしかしたら、カメラからSD CARDに保存処理に問題があるし、複数のMTSのクリップをP2 DVCPRO HD（MXF）に変換して、Avidからの確認の結果
テキストには、異常なしが発見されました。
TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpressエンコーダに問題があるのでないことを確認お願い致します。ありがとうございました。

Try the Japanese bbs. You'll probably get a better response there.

Hello. Korean mega-study (shares) of Ryuin country.
Currently, customers in TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress is a TEST
Panasonic HPX - 150 camera to shoot with Panasonic 16GB SD CARD, MTS files encoded in WMV9 and are using.
SD CARD to, 4GB (26 minutes 06 seconds) is generated for each clip, TMPGEnc 4.0 multiple clips one by one according to the extract in one single file.
However, in this process, both the audio and visual portions of the clip was created automatically connect 5fps ~ 10fps was a problem that seems missing.
Maybe there is a problem from the camera to SD CARD to save processing, multiple clips MTS P2 DVCPRO HD (MXF) to convert, Avid confirmation from the results
The text, no abnormalities were found.
TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress thank you confirm that there is not a problem with the encoder. Thank you.

my reply:

so what your saying is that when you transferred the data from the sd card, some data seems to be wrong


ので、何を言っしたときには、sdカードからのデータが転送され、いくつかのデータが間違っているようだ

yes, I believe you can!

Hello. I was wondering if anyone might know the trick to burning content onto dual layer DVDs in TMPGEnc4? I've burned a lot of single layer DVDs without any problems but if I try burning to a DL DVD then nothing usable is produced, yet I don't receive any errors and everything appears to process correctly. The discs won't play in any of my DVD players, including my PC, and produces a 'NO DISC' message in the displays. When I check Writer settings under Post-output process it recognizes the media and states 'This media disc is writable'. Plus, I know I have the hardware capability to burn playable dual layer discs because I can burn them using ImgBurn. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

HI,
I have burned DL with no problems with this program. My question is what media type are you trying to burn to. Verbatim's DL's are the best and I have no coasters with them. I just recently burned a DL Verbatim 2.4x and it works perfectly.

I haven't tried Memmorex, TDK, Playo yet, but will try them also.

What firmware/type of burner do you have. You mentioned that you can burn DL's with imgburn, so it may be the settings. Make sure that the speed matches the media.

These are just ideas so maybe someone else may have other ideas..

I have shot some footage on a Canon HF10. The footage was recorded as progressive 25 fps. When I import into TMPGenc 4.0 Xpress it sets the display mode to interlaced. I have 240 shots! do I have to really press edit on each shot and change the settings to progressive manually? Are there no batch ways to set this????

Please Help!!

Many thanks

I would guess that TMPGENC would be smart enough not to try and deinterlace a progressive video. Try a test video with the setting on interlaced and see if the output is progressive or not.

go straight to the output format and just ensure its progressive

A simple question, why there isn't native MKV support in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4?

do you mean output or import?

I meant import. Sorry.

well i never have an issue with importing at all and i do it with quite a lot of mkv stuff

I am surprised that MovieStyle doesn't support functionality that you can find in free programs, for example in Handbrake.

I tested the trial version of MovieStyle and converted a DVD for my iPod Touch. The conversion process worked smoothly; however, I was surprised that MovieStyle doesn't support chapter information, i.e., you can't skip from chapter to chapter on the iPod Touch. Handbrake on the other hand (which is free) is almost as easy to use with its device profiles and supports chapters.

So the only advantage of MovieStyle would be the support of the SpursEngine, but that doesn't make up for the loss of the chapter functionality I get with Handbrake.

I have some standard definition DV-AVI files. I want to encode to MP4 files with LPCM or Dolby Digital audio, and then burn to a Blu-Ray disc 25gb.

The "Blu-Ray Standard MPEG" output seems to only output MPEG-2 files. So I tried selecting "MPEG-4 AVC file output", but this only supports AAC audio, which Blu-Ray discs don't support.

So how do I encode MPEG-4 AAC video and Dolby Digital audio, that is compliant with Blu-Ray standard?
