I used Tmpgenc for over 6 month now and never had a single crash so far. Everything ran smooth and absolutely perfect. A few weeks ago i decided to update to the newest version 6.1.3.24 and now i have alot of crashes. It's really bad...it get's to a point where editing isn't enjoyable anymore. It happens extremly often and i don't get why it happens. You can play your project 40 times and on the 41 replay you have the crash.

When the crash happens it's always the same thing. In the middle of a replay, the preview screen freezes but the project still runs further and the sound stays correct. When you hit the spacebar another time to stop and reposition yourself at the timeline, the whole thing freezes and the programm stays in an endless freeze without response. Only way to get out is to close and reopen the project.

It can also happen when i save or when i change filters on a videoclip. In between TMPGENC often tells me that there is a "problem with a pointer" whatever that means. I am just doing things like i always did....putting filters and effects on text or videos.

At first i thought that something was wrong with my computer, so i made a fresh windows 7 install. Didn't help....

I wanted to downgrade to the version i had before but unfortunately i don't know which version i got back then + the company seems to not provide downloads from older versions. Where can i find them? I would try out some sort of 6.1.x or even older ones, but i can't find them!

Have just installed V6. Not keen on the non-adjustment of the GUI interface - unlike Adobe where you can alter to a lighter color to accommodate different monitors but that's another story.

Constant crashes using Win10 x64 - SSD and 8gb memory. No problems with V5 using Win10. So in effect the program is not fit for purpose unless there is a fix issued somewhere.

Won't be upgrading again until I've given the trial a really good test run and Pegasys are not very communicative on the issue. Not good.

I also am experiencing system freezing/lockups since installing 6.1.3.24. I did not have this problem with any of the earlier versions and it only happens when encoding with either NvENC or cuda. I submitted a trouble request and the reply was to rename the UtilsIntelMedia.vme and UtilsCuda.vme so that they are not used. This negates the biggest reason I purchased this software(fast encoding using Nvidia).

I am using the trial version of Mastering Works 6. I'm trying to produce a CBR TS stream with either h.264 or Mpeg-2 encoded video (and attendant audio.).

I have processed a clip, but when I' play it via VLC, I still see bit variation around my target 6Mbs setting.

How do I determine that the bit rate is 'constant'. The DVB-T encoder I'm using requires CBR.

Thanks,
John Clark.

I capture video to .TS files using a Colossus 2 card, then import into TMPGEnc as TS titles (or files "as is," doesn't matter). But I find that only the first 40 to 70 seconds import, where the whole video is about an hour. This happens in latest updates of TVMW6, TAW5, and TMSR4. Not sure if this was an issue before recent updates. Here is the Mediainfo description of one of the clips -- do we know if this is a bug, or should I try some different codec, if possible? These clips work fine in Cyberlink Power Director 13, but I am a longtime TMPGEnc user and would like to keep using these products. Thanks for any insights!

Hi,

I cannot find an clear answer about this, but i am looking if it is possible to keep multiple audio stream from a blu-ray disk. I want to keep English and French language when creating a .mkv output.

Thank you.

Unfortunately you don't through a normal procedure other than using the advanced tool.
Or you should consider using Smart Renderer or PGMX creator.

Thank you Mel :-)

When I tell TAW5 to write a BD after authoring and then wait, it apparently does not finalize the disc (although it writes the data), and teh resulting disc cannot be played in any player or reader I have.

Am I missing some step in this process?

Author the project directly to your HDD instead, that could be to a folder called Video Editing or something like that.
Then you use ImgBurn instead to make the BD disc, where you choose: Write files/folders to disc.

Here you just drag and drop the BDMV & CERTIFICATE folder to the large window.
ImgBurn is so smart that it can see that you want to write a Blu-ray video disc and will then ask, if it should change the settings to write such a disc and give you the option to give the disc a name.

Directing you to a bit older version of ImgBurn, because the later version should be avoided, because it contains ad-ware, who can trigger various antivirus and anti-malware software, because of how the ad-ware is behaving.

This could be also related to your writing device.
Update its firmware and/or drivers and try.

Also check your media disc,sometimes low quality discs
do not let a correct burning.

Also clean your writing device lens.
cheers

I have a little over 10GBs worth of .MKV files. But when I add them to the project the total project size shoots to an amazing 131GB!

Please let me know what I need to do to lower the project size. As I don't think the size of the project should go that amount seeing as how thetotal size of the files are only 10GB.

on TAW5 > Clip properties of your imported files > check what is the Decoder used in the Video section.
Try this:
- go to....Options > Preferences > File input plug-in >
uncheck the AVI file reader and try, also
try by uncheck all except the DirectShow file reader
import your source file and try again.

What is the video stream format of your MKV files?

Thank Ades!

The video stream format for the MKV files is MPEG-4 AVC.

Contemplating purchase - using the Trial version. When outputting to DVD, getting a slight vertical stretch (with resultant crop) to my 16x9 image. I've tried outputting using "Square Pixels" setting as well as "16x9". Same result with both. Searched around but not finding anything on this for Works 5. Thoughts?

I upgraded to Windows 8 32 bit from Windows 7 64 bit and now when I try to convert a movie it starts the conversion process and runs for about 20 seconds and stops. Message reads "TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 has stopped working" then when I click on "check for a solution... it returns message "the connection with Video Mastering Works 5 has been severed.
It was working fine with Windows 7!

any suggestions????

Your Windows 8 is in 32-bit or also in 64-bit?
Probably you need to install the compatible codecs or codec pack with your OS.
Also check their version is for 63-bit or 32-bit depending on your OS version.

Or uninstall all those codecs, reboot your PC and try again.

What is your source file format?
if for ex. is an AVI file
When there are issues with AVI format, its because of codecs used,
TMPGEnc software uses DirectShow codecs installed in your PC for reading
your .avi file so possibly the codec needed it is not selected or its
incorrect or not the suitable.
Or codecs used for reading/encoding your file are wrong, weird,
corrupted, incompatible or even broken.

Please try this:
- Go to....Options > Preferences > File input plug-in >
uncheck the AVI file reader and try in a new project, also
try by uncheck all except the DirectShow file reader
import your source file and try again.

or...
- Go to... Options > Preferences > File input plug-in
then uncheck the Media Foundation file reader only.
- import your source file and check.


Please install this as suggestion and try again.

I have last (6.1.2.23) version of TVMW6.

Mask transparency filter does not work with Inverse Pulldown to 24 fps Deinterlace mode !!!

PEGASYS, immediately fix it! Immediately!!!

Yahoo!!!

Version 6.1.5.26 - May 23, 2016

Fixed: Could not display the transpaparent range correctly of the Mask filter when selecting 24 fps mode in the Deinterlace filter.

How about adding Intel Quick Sync to your program. Instead of having a Nvidia card in my computer, it has a gpu (Intel) in it.

Thx

I found the answer and it was the settings inside of the program. It has the Quick Sync capabilities..

When I edit a ts file from a HD TV channel and convert it to vob files, the output is very slow. I am aware that there is more to process with HD TV than with non-HD TV, but it takes round about two hours to output DVD files from a one hour HD TV recording. In contrast it takes just a few minutes for non-HD TV recordings to process.

Is this normal, or have I failed to understand something?

Cheers

Ralph

That's normal, i don't experience it any different when working with TS files containing HD video.

When using the latest version (6.1.0.21) outputting to an MP4 file with the format settings of 'Stream Format' set to 'H.264/AVC' and 'Video Encoder' set to 'NVENC', there are no errors and the file seems to encode properly. The problem occurs when I try to play back the file in any media player (Windows Media Player, MPC-HC, VLC, etc.) The file will start to play fine but if you try to seek further in the timeline the cpu will go to 100% and stay there for about 5-10 seconds then actually seek to that spot and resume playback. Other times when I try to seek the media player will hang and basically lock up. The media player does not go to 'Not Responding' status but the video will stop playing. If I use the 'x264' encoder instead of 'NVENC' this problem does not occur but it does take much longer to encode the file and uses close to 100% of my cpu when encoding.

Any help in fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

On a side note, using this new version (6.1.0.21) I no longer have the problem of not being able to play encoded files on my LG TV (via USB drive) like I had with the previous version (6.0.7.19). (http://bbs.pegasys-inc.com/bbs/list/lang/en/board/TVMW6/topic/69933#topic69933)
