I'm using a P4 1.6ghz w/ 768mb ram to convert rmvb to divx. It take about 2-3hrs for a 45minute 512x384 video clip on a multipass (2) 1200Kbs video bite rate. If I upgraded to a faster system w/ a dual or quad process and HT, how much faster will be conversions be?
Periodic licence means I will never buy your products
This is a shame because I very much liked your free demo.
Your paranoia has just lost you a customer for good.
Think about this - people who NEED your program will buy it.
People who just WANT it will steal it.
People who steal it wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

Hey guys--long time user of TMPGEnc programs, first time posting here.
I have seen some snippets about this, but no answer. One of the features that convinced me to upgrade to Xpress 4.0 was the promise of "Automatic Scene Change Detection". If that features works, it will save me loads of time--but like one of the other users mentioned, I have clicked every way I know how and cannot get ANYTHING that even resembles what that feature is supposed to do. The user manual for the program is completely worthless on this point--it has about one sentence about the feature and the instructions are vague at best.
In the Cut-Edit window, clicking with the middle mouse button on the thumbnail navigator will move the playhead to the next scene. Click to the right of the playhead to move forward, left to move back. Sensitivity can be adjusted in the Preferences.

I have an avi file with 720 x 404 and is 16:9 aspect ratio.
I want to encode it to a DVD to watch on a 16:9 TV.
What should I set the source aspect ratio, video arrange method, output resolution and aspect ratio?
My first attempt was to ignore the source aspect ratio (it doesn't seem to have any effect on the output), set the video arrange method to center (default), set the output resolution to 720 x 480, output aspect to 16:9.
This works ok. The resulting DVD when play, will expand to fill the screen automatically. However, whenever there are subtitle/text on the screen I notice they have re-sampling blur. How can I avoid this blur?
I have a question regarding cropping and encoding interlaced video. I am capturing interlaced signal from a Hi8 camcorder and obviously there's some junk on all sides. I crop it and optionally resize (for fullscreen). the question is, how does it affect interlace (1) and MPEG encoder (2). AFAU, there are several scenarios. lets outline a couple:
1. the image is cropped and then upscaled to full DVD resolution. this is simple for horisontal scale, but non-obvious for vertical, since several lines have to be added. I don't understand how vertical upscale works with interlaced video. either pairs of fields are duplicated every now and then, which is not the best upscale algorithm, or the image is deinterlaced, upscaled, and then interlaced again, which kinda misses the point of interlace. what does TmpgEnc do when I choose crop+fullscreen ?
1. back bands are created around the image. encoder will waste bandwidth encoding them and there will be artefacts near the edges. this is the scenario for crop+center AFAIU.
I would be extemely helpful if someone answers these two questions and possibly recommends what interlace/crop/scale options of TmpgEnc I should use to make DVDs out of my Hi8 recordings.
