I have recently purchased a new laptop and has Windows 7 64 bit O/S. I have installed several programs since I purchassed it but when I come to installing TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 I continually get the error "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package" the previous O/S was Vista Ultimate 64 bit and I had no problems what so ever and help would be appreciated
I was wondering whether Authoring Works 4 will ever support Divx Ultra files larger than 4032MB? I thought the Divx company added support for larger files than this back in 2008 or so... I'd like to completely fill up my regular DVDs, or perhaps burn to DVD-9.
I'm kind of a noob at DVD Authoring so correct me if I'm wrong but I can't get the program to burn larger files than 4032MB in Divx Ultra mode.
Is there a way from within the program to delete files that have been imported from a dvd? I can't see one, so I have been deleting them by hand from the "C:\Users\username\Documents\TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3\DVD Imports" folder.
Why is my MPEG2-TS labeled as Smart Rendering when I'm building the project, but when I output, it starts re-encoding my video?
The files are raw transport streams from my tivo recordings. Some show as SR and have no re-encoding at all, but others show as SR and STILL re-encode. I compared the video properties and all of them are similar except the GOP Length. I'm guessing that's the culprit, but I thought GOP size wasn't an issue for Blu Ray?
BTW, the raw files play flawless on my PS3, so I don't see why AW4 wants to full-render them.
When i get a video from youtube via www.keepvid.com i can import the 3gp file and the mp4 file into TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress. But i can't import the flv. Could somebody look in to this?
This is the way I convert an .flv file with TMPGEnc - YMMV
I use the following programs:
AutoGK 2.55 (also installs AviSynth)
QuickTime Pro (or VLC can be used) for audio conversion
FLV Extract 1.6.1 http://moitah.net/
DGAVCDec 1.09 http://www.videohelp.com/download/dgavcdec109.zip
use FLV Extract to demux the .flv
open the .aac audio file in QuickTime to create a .wav file
File > Export > Export: Sound To Wave > Options: (choose what you like)
now you have your .wav file
open the .264 video file in DGAVCDec
(learn how to choose your 'settings'...)
File > Save Project
now you have your .dga file
Save these 6 lines in notepad as an .avs file:
LoadPlugin ("C:\Program Files\DGAVC\DGAVCDecode.dll")
you can add features in this .avs file for exact control of your video:
BicubicResize (608,456)
Greyscale ()
AddBorders (16,12,16,12)
Trim (1236,35363)
FadeIn (12)
FadeOut (12)
and dozens of others.....
Keep all these files so far in the same folder.
TMPGEnc will now import the .avs file with all your editing features,
along with most other video programs that can handle an .avi import.
One of the few things you have to set is bitrate & quality. The added bonus
of an .avs file - you can drop it into other programs like VirtualDub
& all of your resizing, fading, bordering, etc... in the .avs - saving
you the time of having to reset everything in different programs.
I've been using TMPG for a number of years to create MPEG video files, and I'm currently using TMPG 4.7.3.292 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. I often use .mpg files as video clips in Powerpoint presentations. This always worked until recently. Now, the *.mpg files that I have created recently play fine in Windows Media Player, but Powerpoint won't let me insert them into a slide show. It gives an error message: "Powerpoint cannot insert a video from the selected file. Verify that the necessary codec for this media format is installed, and then try again." Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me what codec is missing.
I can solve the problem by coding the files to .wmv, which Powerpoint will accept,but I would prefer to use .mpg.
Has something changed in TMPG's encoding that could produce this? Or might this be an issue related to 64 bit Win 7?
I am able to insert mpg video into PP. However, I'm on Windows XP using Office 2003. 4.0 XPress is latest version.
Update to the latest version; that might solve your problems. There have been a lot of updates since the one you're using.
When trying to encode a non-stardard sized AVC file (1280 x 544) to a stardard HD format (1280 x 720) the programme starts with Preparing Output but 20 hours later it has not done anything ? Help ?
Whenever I try to import a m2ts file into TAW4, it becomes non-responsive.
Other bluray files work fine. Is this a codec problem, and if so, what is
the codec?
I converted an AVI file to DVD using TAW4 and enabled the sorround sound 5.1 but there is no 5.1 sound at my speakers, just 2.0 DD. At my Onkyo´s receiver display, i can see the DD indicating that the surround option is enabled.But no sound ate the center, sub and rear speakers. Any help?
Regards,
I have ever use a useful softare to make my video converter from AVI to DVD,I advise you to use "Joboshare AVI to DVD Converter "
Burn AVI video formats to DVD discs Support all popular AVI video formats including AVI, MPEG, DAT, MPG and VOB. Support lots of DVD recordable formats Supports lots of DVD recordable formats, such as DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD-RAM, DVD-5 and DVD-9.
No, my AVI file i captured it using an analog video capture card with Virtualdub and thus the sound is analog 48000, 2ch stereo 16bits. TAW4 can`t convert it to DD 5.1?
Regards
I'm not entirely sure since I don't have any way to check it, but that might be the reason. I'm thinking that since those channels don't exist in the source file, they are left empty if you choose to output as 5.1.
It also seems that it only accepts 5.1 input if it is a Dolby Digital (ac3) format audio stream; any other type of audio stream may be limited to 2 channel.
OK, just tried it. Audacity doesn't seem to support 6 channel audio, so that won't work. But if you have or can find VST host software that supports 6 channels, that plug-in should do the trick.
Hello All;
I am using TMPGENC 4.0 Xpress to import HD Video footage from a consumer Canon Camcorder and want to encode the footage at the same resolution to DIVX. Though I noticed that when I add DIVX file output, the default resolution is 720 X 480 but it looks like we can change that.
Question - since the file was originally created in HD resolution, am I free to manually increase the resolution to 1920 X 1080 with no loss of quality, or will the quality be reduced if I do this ?
Is there any way to tell XPRESS to use the oriignal clip settings or isn't this currently possible ?
I am interested in outputting other formats too and most are much less than 1920 X 1080.
For 1080p DivX, make sure you select "DivX HD 1080p profile" when you are choosing your output format.
Since you're changing the format of the video, you can't really use the same encoding settings as the source file since compression rates are different. The quality of the encode will depend on various other settings like the level, performance, and rate control mode settings. The higher the quality, the larger your file size will be.
