This is more of a question and if the answer is NO, then a request.
Is it possible to utilize 100% of all four of my CPU cores to encode a movie? I can see that during the encode all four cores are being used, but the encoder never uses their full potential. Even when encoding 2+ movies at a time (while running one instance of the batch encoder) it never goes above 50% utilization of all four cores. It uses nearly 100% of core 0, and about 33% of core 1, 2 and 3. I would really like to be able to fully utilize all the power of my quad core to reduce my encoding time.
To clarify, I CAN fully use 100% of all four cores by running two instances of the batch encoder and then setting the affinity of one batch encoder to cores 0/1 and the other batch encoder to cores 2/3. This is a lame work around that I shouldn't have to do, but works fine for encoding more than one movie at a time. My main complaint is when I only want to encode one movie. It takes twice as long as it should because all cores aren't fully utilized.
Is there some setting I missed to fully use all four cores? If not, I would really like to see a fix for this in the near future.
I think this is not consern from the application speed regarding the cores, its about codec's speed so it depends on the codecs used and its features.
For example by encoding with QT the speed is not full since QT codec does not or supports to use all the cores.
good luck
I am running TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress 4.6.3.267. When I load a .m2ts stream (for example after ripping one of my Blu-Ray disc) it shows the video and audio stream as eg 0001.m2ts). Now in some cases I am good and it plays english audio and I can convert the movie. However many times yo get frensh or spanish as language. Any idea where I can select the audio track or how to make sure I get an english audio stream ? The help file does not give any info about it.
You have 2 options;
1st-- Download the Editor 3 Trial version; http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/tme3.html
and try this:
-1 Open the MPEG Tools [Demultiplexer Advanced] from Editor 3, and
input your .m2ts file by drag 'n drop into the "Input" part.
-2 Click the "Start" button to demultiplex your file (the output files
must be in the same folder).
-3 Input the video and audio files in XPress 4 at the Clip properties
window you can set and choose the Audio English file already
demultiplexed from from Editor's 3 Demultiplexer Advanced.
2nd-- Look in Google or other portal this freeware application "tsMuxerGUI" and tri it.
good luck
I'm trying to add music to my video clips. I would like to loop the audio if the clip is too long. I can't seem to find a way to do this. I tried clicking Audio 1 and stream to audio 2 if necessary, but Audio two is then grayed out. Is this possible? Thanks.
I remember way back in Tmpgenc Xpress 4.2.3.193 I can import AC3 audio with full 5.1 channels by plugin TSP-AC3-1.3-install-EN. Now I do the same with Tmpgenc Xpress 4.6.2.266 but this time it does not accept 5.1 channels but just 2 channels. Does the new Tmpgenc Xpress supports old plugin? Or is there any other way to enable 5.1 channel support in Tmpgenc Xpress?
I create Windows Media Video output files in High Def (1920 X 1080) with AC3 5.1 audio using Xpress all the time. You might want to consider installing AVISYNTH, K-Lite Codecs Package, and Windows Media Encoder. All of these are free and support numerous codecs that may not be available in the standard installation of Xpress 4.0. Then you can output all types of video resolutions and audio configurations.
Yes you may be able to choose 5.1 surround under audio WMA 10 Advance, but when you check it in any audio receiver it will only register as 2 channel/stereo. They need to fix this issue as everything now days is in surround sound. What good is ripping your Blu Ray, and only to get it played back in stereo. That's a joke...
I had TMPGEnc Plus 2.524.63.181 installed and working on my previous computer.
I built a new computer, re-installed, and re-registered the program. However
when I set up to encode an AVI to MPEG-2 the following error pops up:
"To playback MPEG-2 file, DVD player software needs to be installed on your system. MPEG-2 files cannot be played without such playback software" If I proceed on anyway the image does not show up in the preview window, and the output file only has sound (no video). I have a DVD burner installed, and I can play DVDs with either Windows Media player or Roxio Cineplayer (so that says I have a CODEC installed). I tried un-installing and re-installing the program.
Both the old and new computers are running Windows XP. Ideas?
Right now if I want to edit a dvd to get rid of unwanted words, I have to cut the video along with it. Is there a way to just mute several words without having to cut the video?
I don't know of any way to do this within TDA3. You could extract the audio from the video source and then edit the words out in the extract, save the edited extract to a WAV file, and then use that edited extract as the primary audio source instead of the original audio from the video source.
i am having trouble with this trial software
i have a avi file that has ac3 5.1 sound but when i insert it into works it only shows it as 2 channel. i thought this new software was 5.1 compatible.
hope someone can help as i really was looking forward to buying this.
I have installed the latest evaluation version of TMPGEnc on a Win XP Pro system, with a 8800GT card and nVidia drivers v180.48. Under the administrator account, it has no problem identifying the CUDA capable card and using it. However if I log on with a limited user account then running TMPGEnc gives a "insufficient geforge version" message, specifying that CUDA needs v178.13 drivers and above. Is this a bug?
That's something maybe they should look into, I am interested in buying this for the company I work for, but I cannot allow users to logon to workstations with admin level access accounts, which is common logic I suppose. I don't think it would be so difficult as to make it possible to run under limited user accounts.
When I click on Add layout or Delete layout it DOES do something.
Clicking Add layout adds a new layout. By default it will be called "05: Layout #5". You can then edit the layout to whatever you want. Then, whenever you add a new subtitle, you can select Layout #05 from the Layout dropdown menu.

The problem is that the layout doesn't get saved. Once I close Tmpgenc and then reopen it, the layout is gone. I tried the ADD routine using both Layout #05 and a custom name, and in neither is the layout available in another session.
Demux the chapters information from your DVD or Blu-ray. Strip out the chapter names so only the time and text is left. Save it as a text file. Rename the text file moviename.subtitle. Then select edit and import subtitles to bring in your subtitle list.
I've just purchased MovieStyle and I'm generally pleased with it. The UI is straight forward, making encoding very quick and easy.
However, there are two areas where I think MovieStyle could improve:
1) Quality vs. file size is very disappointing. Using the iPod normal setting, videos look significantly worse than those encoded with Handbrake's iPhone preset using a 500kbps bitrate. Despite looking worse, the files encoded with MovieStyle are two and a half times bigger than those encoded with Handbrake! Is it the lack of two-pass encoding option? I don't know.
2) As video encoding takes a long time, I tend to set up batch jobs. What annoys me about MovieStyle is that there's no way to name the output files before the encoding starts. I'm left with a lot of "title 1", "title 1 (1)", "title 1 (2)" files at the end of the process which can be a pain to sort out.
Regarding point #2, you can set the name for each file before you output, but you have to turn off the automatic encoding option. Once that's turned off, you can add your files to the batch list, set the output name for each file, then press Start to begin batch encoding.
