I haven't found a way to set the 16:9 aspect ratio when outputting a 720x576 PAL anamorphic project to Avid SD codecs, e.g. outputting to Quicktime / Avid DV codec or Quicktime / Avid JPEG 2000 codec.
The result is that no matter what I do the video comes out as *cropped* to 4:3, instead of horizontally "squeezed" (anamorphic 16:9).
Important note: the source video is edited in timeline mode and has a (variable) resize filter applied to it. (the goal is to do pan & zoom a SD 16:9 frame inside a HD clip)
Unlike in Normal Mode, in Timeline mode the "keep aspect ratio" does not allow to work around this problem: no matter what I choose, it is impossible to get an anamorphic 720*576 image (at least with the Quicktime formats) - please help !
experimenting a bit more, it looks like none of the AVI or QuickTime codecs will allow anamorphic 16:9 SD video: for those codecs where a 4:3 / 16:9 option is selectable, the net result is identical.
How can I output 16:9 anamorphic video using QuickTime or AVI ????
Once you have chosen your output format, then you come to the page with Video, Audio, GOP and Other choises.
In Video, change setting at Aspect ratio to: Display 16:9
Then the image will be forced to be in 16:9
It may have to do with your timeline setting. Click on the timeline setting button and choose the proper video aspect ratio, dimensions, etc. and try it again.
I bought-in to the NVIDIA craze/hype about CUDA a few years ago & bought a 285 card thinking in no-time I would be encoding a top speed. Well, I never saw much if any improvement except maybe in some filters, but I never compared anything side by side...
Has anyone done some serious testing to find-out where CUDA really shines in which filters???
From my recent reading about CUDA 2/2013 my impression is no video encoders are producing top quality image output using CUDA. Maybe some speed is gained, but the image quality is poor vs CPU encoding...
Sooo, what have you learned about CUDA? What filters really "shine" using CUDA for both higher quality video image & speed improvements.
This is just to add a little more to the previous post... Unfortunately, there is no edit feature to correct the original post, so I have to add more details with a 2nd post. Sorry for that...
From my recent reading about CUDA 2/2013 there is a serious trade-off in image quality for the limited speed gained by using CUDA. If you know of actual image quality improvements, then please post to this thread or start one about it detailing exactly how to do this.
I've yet to read where CUDA is 'improving' image quality at the high-end of HD.
I'll ask the same about filters too... does anyone know which CUDA filters equal or improve image quality over CPU vs GPU/CUDA saving time but getting a lower quality image.
I'll also mention, the CUDA SDK is up to version 5.0+ at the NVIDIA website, but I think TPMG5 is only using version 3.1 SDK CUDA as of 2/2013... anyone know otherwise?
Anyway, please report about image quality improvements using CUDA and saving encoding time. Which filters specifically... which NVIDIA card you need to do it too... will an old 285 card do just as well in quality output but 'only' be slower time wise.
I'm currently very skeptical about CUDA having read a few detailed articles of recent CUDA software reviews. That's 3-4 years now of development time without much gain, if any, in high-quality output from the reviews I read.
having any gpu wont increase quality of your project but will enable a speed increase IF its up to date. your 285 is 6 years out of date and even back then only had a pultry 200+ cores. heck ive had a card like that expecting shit to shien and was gutted when it did nothing. and it only did nothing because that spec card isnt really designed to do much, especially since its now 6 years old.

How to do this with TAW5 and is it possible with TAW4 ?
I clean installed Windows 8 & have the latest WHQL NVIDIA driver for my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 video card. This driver is dated 12-29-2012 version 9.18.13.1090.
For some reason I can't get Preferences to work and "see" this card to setup CUDA encoding. This card did work/do CUDA before with your software, so I don't know why not now?
Anyone know of a fix for this?
I've tried System Restore to uninstall and reinstall the drivers & TMPGE... but I can't get it to "see" this card to do CUDA.
When I try to export I get this error everytime unspecified error 0x80004005. I have tried different source files, still happens?? Tried on different computers, still happens
I suggest you try to read the system requirements on the TMGPEnc home page for TVMW5. Many computers out there does not live entirely up to all the requirements.
Some where on that list, there might be one or several requirements that these computers does not live up to, even though the builders claim they are ready to go "multimedia computers".

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same exact problem.
Long time TMPGEnc user, but just trying timeline mode for the first time...
When a clip is deleted or trimmed, the following clips are not automatically shifted: a blank space is created.
Is there a way to avoid that ?
Perhaps a command to detect & clean up all blank spaces in the timeline at once ?
I've been looking for an editor for game videos taken with Fraps, and this is the best one I've found so far. However, the price is high for my modest needs. Are there any plans in the works for a cheaper version?
I would like to request playlist functionality in AW5. So far I am very impressed with the program. many of my projects will require opening video files merging seamlessly into the main video file (see my query post below).
I would like to setup a disc which has one film with 3 seperate audio tracks. I also need to have 3 different videos for the start of the film to accomodate the 3 different narrators' credits. In the menu I need to be able to select 1 of the 3 start sequences which will then merge with the main film which has the three audio tracks embedded (to mimimize disc usage the main film is identical only with the three audio tracks differing).
So it would be like this on the main menu:
Audio/film 1 (using one audio track) -> Main film Body playing track 1 of the 3 emdedded tracks.
Audio/film 2 (using one audio track) -> Main film Body playing track 2 of the 3 embedded tracks.
Audio/film 3 (using one audio track) -> Main film Body playing track 3 of the 3 emdedded tracks.
How can I set this up so that the 3 seperate openers merge seamlessly with the main film. Is it possible to create a playlist seuence that will do this?
