Hi, I have a trial for this product becuase I wanted to test its CUDA functions before I consider purchase.
However, I cannot get CUDA to work on my GTX 295.
I set up 2-pass encode but it notifies me that CPU=100.0% CUDA=0.0%
I have ticked relevant boxes in preferences i.e. enable CUDA and use hardware rendereing as well as varies other relevant ones in the CPU/GPU part of preferences.
CUDA only works with one pass encodes (when set to be the encoder)and will only kick in on two pass encodes when using a few select filters (blur, sharpen, etc).

Sorry, I meant that in all other applications it only works with one pass. You can enable CUDA encoding in TMPEGEnc for two pass but it doesn't do anything unless you have filters applied.
I have a project that I have split into several clips. On two of the clips I would like to change the volume level. It always ends up changing the level on all clips in the project. How is this done?
Becuase I store numerous clips on DVD's in VCD format, and sometimes need to create DVD's of samples of them, it is better to encode them CBR, so that I get Smart Rendering. Is there anyway of making CBR the default, so that I won't forget to do it for EVERY track? I have a nasty suspicion the answer is no!!
I have a large number of DVD's burned with VCD content. I cometimes need to burn a DVD with samples of these. They all need Full Rendering, which is very time consuming. Is there some way I can get around this so that it will use Smart Rendering?
TAW4 might not be getting the correct aspect ratio for the VCD video. A VCD I have is should be set to Pixel 10:11 (NTSC 4:3), but TAW4 set it as Pixel 12:11 (PAL 4:3). Once I set it to the NTSC aspect ratio, smart rendering kicked in.
Likewise, if your VCD files actually are PAL 4:3, then you'll need to make a PAL DVD for smart rendering to be activated.
You can change the aspect ratio setting for your clip in the clip properties tab of the clip editing window.
Using PAL. I have a clip encoded as VCD. Using GSpot, I see the pixel aspect ratio is 12:11. Load it into TAW4 and check with clip properties - par is 12:11. It is using smart rendering.
Burn a DVD. Load the clip into TAW4 ripping from the DVD. Clip properties show par 12:11. Rename the ripped dvddata file to mpg and check with GSpot - par is 12:11. Using full rendering.
With the original VCD clip and the ripped clip loaded into TAW4, I cannot see any difference in clip properties, apart from the tags MPEG file reader and DVD reader. Also, the original clip shows bit rate (1150 kb/s), but the ripped clip doesn't show bit rate. Maybe I should set the track settings to CBR when I burn VCD files? (I'm going to have no end of problems remebering to do this each time!)
Looks like you're right. I ran a few tests of this myself and it looks like TAW4 is changing the file type to MPEG-2 if you select VBR. Unfortunately, a MPEG-2 VBR at VCD resolutions is not compliant with the DVD-Video format, which is why it will then be full rendered if you try to import the DVD.
So there's two options from there:
1) Change the resolution to a regular DVD-Video resolution (720x480, 720x576, etc.), making it like typical DVD-Video footage. However, increasing the size of the image will also increase the file size, so you wouldn't be able to fit as much on one disc
or, (probably the better option)
2) Selecting CBR will keep the file as an MPEG-1 and retain its ability to be Smart Rendered for future projects.
HI.
im trying to import an M2TS video file that is using the VC-a video codec.
But when i try to add file to tmpeg ex4 i get error stating it can not open the file.
It seems to be a VC-1 problem and not an M2TS problem as i can open other m2ts files with 264 codecs...
Does anyone have a fix so i can import vc-1 coded videos into tmpegencxpress4?
preferably without having to load in a pile of codec packs..
i could have sworn tmpx4 supports VC-1
I have the latest copy of TMPGEnc and have recently run into some Canon Digital camera files that are .AVI's and are using the Motion Jpeg Codec. So when I add them into a new Project, TMPG will report that my Morgan-Multimedia Codec has expired and it can only do the audio part of the file and not the video. Any suggestions?

Hi, here is the situation, lets say I compile a dvd video, but I want to burn it at later time (not right after the convertion to dvd), I can't find a way in Authoring Works 4 that would allow to burn the dvd, is it possible? Will it work if I just burn the audio_ts video_ts folders using the built in disc burner, or do I have to use some other software for this. I think this is a fairly simple operation that should be built in the software.
Just output the project and not burn it. You can always burn the video_ts folder later with the disc writing tool. The disc writing tool can be accessed in the Start stage.
Once in the disc writing tool, use the "Add folder" button to select the folder on your hard drive that contains the Video_ts and Audio_ts folders, then you should be ready to burn.
The file has 2 language italian and english italian is audio 1 and english is audio 2 but I can only get the italian and not the english what am I doing wrong? I've tried 4 or 5 times only get the same result.
