I've bought an MP4 player a time a go. It's a generic model from the supermarket here in Belgium (Bluesky). This MP4-player was bundled with a program "Avi Converter". You have tu use this program to convert a video to the right codec, resolution, etc. But I'm not satisfied with the results of this program (Sound is not at the same time as the video,...). So I want to use TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress for this job. But I don't know which settings I have to configure. I've uploaded a small video: http://www.2shared.com/file/6558211/7839e988/iPhone_Commercial_Parody_The_Daily_Buzz.html This video is converted with "Avi Converter". Can someone tell me which settings I have to configure?
What kind of MP4 player is it? As in the make and model number? Knowing what it's specs are will help determine the best video format and settings. Did it come with an instruction manual or is there a company name and model number anywhere?
Just going from your AVI, it's XviD, 20 fps, 320x240, video bitrate 310 kb/s, audio is MPEG-2, 128kb/s stereo CBR.
Hi, I've been using DVD Author 3 and now trial TAW4.
I have recorded .ts files (h.264, multi-audio-tracks). So I demux the tracks to the elementary streams (.264, ac3). When I'll open the .264 file i get an error, that the file coudn't be opened? (in DVD-Author 3 i can open .264 files!). So why i can't open these? The problem not using the .ts stream is a asynchron audio/video track. In the past it was the best (when will also cutting scenes), using elementary streams.
Any Help or Information for me available?
thanks for help a lot
cheers

I have various clips.
I want the viewer to be able to start/view
- some of those clips directly after selecting (one of) them in the top menu
and
- the other clips after navigating to a subpage
starting clips from a subpage is easy.
how can I have clips start directly from the top menu ?
I don't think that's possible. You can have videos play directly from the top menu only if you choose the "Top menu only" option when you create your menu.
what are the results for a MacPro System? There are two models, the Quad Core Nehalem Single Processor 2.66 Ghz and the eight core dual Processor 2,26 GHz,.. Anyone tried this configuration? If so, what OS do you use?
Does the stnadard NVIDIA graphics card support CUDA? It´s a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB.
Is it possible to use the WinFast accellerator board?
The GeForce GT 120 is on the list. However, be advised that not all cards have been tested with TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress so download the trial first and see if it works before you buy it.

Are you talking about the WinFast PxVC1100? You can use it with TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress as long as you have the SpursEngine Plug-in which is sold separately (unless you buy the bundles). http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/te4xp_spurs.html
I´ve done some testing with a Mac Pro System running BootCamp and WinXP Pro 32. The System is a dual xeon 2.26 GHz and it has 20 gigabytes RAM (Win XP uses only 2 GByte or so) and the GeForce GT 120 graphics card. This system is actually used as a final cut pro editing system under OSX an so it has a AJA Kona LHi HD capture card and a 8x1 TByte external Sonnet RAID; these weren´t used during the tests.
TMPGEn 4 runs fine on this system. I own the 3.0 version running on an rather old AMD type PC; so one can expect major speed improvements. In fact, i tried to encode the same 90 minute SD movie on both machines with identical settings; MPEG 2 PAL 16:9, 5.7 MBits average, highest motion search precision and some noise reduction (set to small, about 35 units) The old pc finished after more than 26 hours; the Mac Pro under Windows in 2 hours and 40 minutes.
However, i was unable to activate CUDA. I tried installing all the latest drivers from the Nvidia homepage. Still showing CPU = 100%, CUDA = 0%. I haven´t had the chance to run a test with the leadtek accelerator board. but i will try this in the near future. maybe the grphic card in the mac is just a little to weak to support encoding systems.
When prefiltering some HDTV Material with the noise filter, the spatial filter works fine, but the temporal filter immediately turns the video to black, if the noise reduction amount is more than zero. maybe this is a bug .(Input file was a HDTV 1080 25i QuickTime with AJA Codec.
Hi I have a MKV file which opens in TMPGEnc, I want to convert to AVCHD in TMPGEnc 4.0 Express. Can anyone tell me the settings or can't this be done, does this program only import AVCHD?
I think to output AVCHD with XPress 4 is not possible yet, but may be in future could be, I recommend you to output with Blu-ray output template or mpeg-4 AVC in HD for a high quality files.
I have the full verison of TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring.. What i am trying to do is I taped something off of TV but im trying to edit out all of the commericals. When im editing it u can hear the audio when i hit play and such but after i am done editing and try to out put i get the message saying
"The "Track 1" Track does not include an audio conform to the DVD-video standard.
When authoring a NTSC DVD-video, each Track should at least contain one Dolby Digital or Linear PCM audio Stream. In the track settings change MPEG-1 Audio Layer II into Dolby Digital or Linear PCM to avoid this warning"
My Question is it is set on Dolby Digital and I am doing everything i do every time anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks any help is greatly appreciated...
Thank you for your answer, I now Canoous brand is very very good, I work whit edius, gratefull. Why only 5-10 % ? The problem is the cpu?
Whit your firecoder how many time I will save?
Thank you Ottudali for your test,
you are very kindly. I would buy Winfast Pxvc1100 to convert only Mpeg2 to H.264 files like your test. I think the time to transcoding is similar to your firecoder blu.
Is there a preferred video format that is best suited for use in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4, or a format it was specifically designed to work best with?
Thanks
SpursEngine focuses on speed rather than quality and its built-in encoder is not as good as TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress' encoder. I'm guessing test 2 took longer as well?
If you want maximum quality, don't use SpursEngine. Use the BluRay output profile as you did in test 2 and choose 2-pass encoding, VBR.
If you really want to use SpursEngine, there aren't that many things you can do. You can try changing the DC component precision to 10 bit, and you can try decreasing the GOP maximum frames number under the Advanced tab, and I think that's about it. Bitrate is at the maximum by default I believe. You can also try constant bitrate, but that will make your output file huge.
I cann't get a DL burn that works. I have tried many times burning a DL+R disk and they all have problems at some point playing on my DVD Player. The last one I did started having playing problems at about the 1 hour mark. Seems like it have something to do with being DL. I have never had a bad burn of a single layer disk. I am using DVD Author 1.6. I am using TDK DVD+R DL media. Any idea's?
I'm currently using Memorex +R DL disks, and not having any real problems with them. I have to use a DVD player that specifically supports +R (not all the off-the-shelf models do).
Since all off-the-shelf DVD players support -R DL, that's what I used to use. THOSE were the ones that were giving me the same problem that you're encountering. My drive specifies that it supports everything, minus and plus, single- and dual-layer, but DVD Author's DVD writer never seemed to like DL -R disks. Dunno why.
I also found years ago that burning at the maximum speed the software claims my hardware will support ALWAYS results in a bad disks (problems much like you describe). DVD Author claims it'll write at 16x? I jack it down to 12x. Haven't had a disk burn bad since. Try that.
I want to make flash h.264 video files with xpress 4.
The source is okay. Because there isn't really a flash output, i choose mov as the one. I kwown that it works with my Mac Compressor (FCP) and if I change this extension to flv, it works perfectly.
But with these xpress 4 ...this trick don't work! So? Is there a difference h264 codec voor windows and Mac? Because the flv don't accept the video.
TMPGenc, I would be nice if you soon arrange a Flash f4v format output settings!
