If you select "copy DVD files to hard drive", how do you cleanup, by deleting, those files after you don't need them any more? I don't see a selection for that in the preferences, do you just find the folder where they are stored and delete them?
Just saw at Newegg that they now have a standalone version of the Leadtek WinFast PxV1100 SpursEngine card for $219.99. Prior to this, they only offered it as a bundle with TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress.
Hi I just got TD3D recently before i was still using 1.5 and I had created and saved a bunch of template files (.tme) but when I have 3 look for templates in that file it says non were found. Can you not import templates from previous versions?
hi
i was using tmpgenc xpress 4 for over 6 month encoding mkv to wmv-hd
with great success, but my hard drive went tits up and i had to reinstall windows on a new drive and install everthing from scratch.
and for some reason i cant for the life of me get tmpgenc xpress 4 working.
i click start new project, add file, select my avisynith script file and click open and it opens into clip settings, i then click browse on the audio and select the ac3 file for the film and then open, but instead of opening the file a dialog box pops up with.....
"could not open audio part of the file X:\XXXX\XXXX.ac3
it may be an unsupported file or there is only a video stream"
ive never had this error before and i tried with other files and it does the same
i have the same codecs i had before "CCCP"
any help would be great cause this is doing my head in
I have a .mpg file I want to convert to WMV using TMPGEnc 4 Express.
I downloaded the trial version and it works well.
I purchase the Retail version and it doesn't anymore, it tells me the file cannot be opened.
By the way, versions are:
TE4XP_Trial_4.7.1.284_setup_en.exe (works in opening a .mpg)
and
TE4XP_Retail_4.7.1.284_setup_en.exe (don't work in opening a .mpg)
also the Trial version gives me 2 warnings (GEForce CUDA something as well as SPursEngine not available)
the Retail only gives me one (the SpursEngine wasn't shown).
The trial includes the trial for the SpursEngine Plug-in, but for the retail version, it is not included; you have to buy the SpursEngine Plug-in separately. That's why you don't get the warning in the retail version.
Hi all, help please
How can I calculate the bitrate when you compress to divx?
For example, I have an mkv, the video bitrate is 9000 kbs, nominal bitrate 9500, how can I know that when the bitrate should compress to divx?
thank you very much
HOLA a todos, ayuda por favor,
¿como puedo calcular el bitrate cuando comprimo a divx ?
por ejemplo, tengo un mkv, el video tiene bitrate 9.000 kbs, bitrate nominal 9.500, ¿como puedo saber que bitrate debe tener cuando la comprimo a divx?
muchas gracias
I accidently downloaed TMPFEnc 2.5 Plus, installed, and then the unit expired. I uninstalled and tried to install the free version. However, I keep getting and invalid install, please install again. Any advise on uninstalling the original version? TIA
I bought TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 earlier today. I captured a TV show using a PC capture card. MPEG2 video is PAL Progressive, I would like the output file as MPEG2 NTSC Interlace before I burn this to a DVD-R. I can't find the setting to change this video setting. I'm really disappointed. Can't TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 do this? Is this a software bug? If not, I want my refund. All I'd like to do is simply remove the commercials, and output as MPEG2 NTSC Interlace before burning. Which program can make this output? Please help, thank you.
You can change it to NTSC in the Format Stage under Video Settings-->Aspect ratio.
However, I don't think you can change it from progressive to interlace since that would require re-encoding the whole video...and MPEG Editor 3 is not an encoder; it's only an editor.
Since my aged Athlon X2 needs > 13 hours to transcode a Full HD h.264/VC1 stream to PAL MPG2 with VBR/2passes, I considered buying a Spursengine card (Leadtek) and the TmpgEnc Plugin. However some reports here and there indicate that the encoder settings are somewhat limited when using the Spursengine plugin and also the resulting quality is worse. It also looks suspicious that the CPUs used for comparison are low end to mid range and that the test settings always include additional filters. Besides only numbers for CBR encoding are given and there's no word about limitations or quality issues.
So in a nutshell:
1) How many frames per second will the Spursegine plugin approximately reach for transcoding Full HD h.264/VC1 streams to PAL MPG2 with VBR (1 pass and 2 passes) and high quality settings?
2) Is the quality comparable to that reached by the CPU encoder with the same (or if not possible: high) settings?
3) Is 2 pass VBR encoding possible at all with the Spursengine plugin?
4) Can the motion prediction settings be influenced with the plugin and if not: which is a comparable (quality wise) setting for the CPU encoder?
5) Is scaling done by the Spursengine or the CPU? If it's done by the Spursengine: are all scaling filters (e.g. Lanczos) available?
Sorry can't answer all your questions because but I know that SpursEngine is only capable of 1 pass encoding. If you prefer quality over speed, then you will need to use CPU encoding.
Scaling is done by SpursEngine when you are upscaling SD to HD using the Super Resolution function. I believe it's a proprietary scaling filter that you can't change.
Keep in mind that these are not limitations of the plug-in, but of the SpursEngine hardware itself. Any computer or software that uses SpursEngine will have the same limitations.
Thanks for the reply. Anyway, I decided to update my system to a Core i7-920 (@3.15GHz) in the meantime and now the conversion flies. It's a speedup of at least factor 5-6 compared to my X2 4200+ with the same quality settings.
I didn't do a fair comparison with exactly the same stream, but my last conversion of an h.264 Full-HD movie to MPGEG2 PAL needed only 1h30min with 2-pass VBR and "high" motion prediction setting.
Admittedly, the update was about 600€ while the Spursengine + Plugin would have been around 230€ I think, but I figure the value for the money is still much higher even if the general system speedup (+increased RAM size) due to the upgrade and the lesser quality settings of the Spursengine are ignored.
Indeed I can barely remember a performance boost of this dimension in any of my last harware upgrades. I guess the only one to come close was that from a 486-33 to a P90 back in the old days.
Hi,
I’m looking for a way to create a very simple DVD project with bilingual audio.
There are no subtitles or chapters.
I have MPEG2 file and two audio tracks in two different languages.
On the menu I just want to have two options “French” and “English”
So how do I trigger different audio options with the same video file.
Is there some templates available for this task?
Thank you
Eric
Just select "Multi-audio" and you'll be able to select your two audio tracks.
You may also have to adjust the audio encoding mode and stream format. To do this, go to the track menu settings(1), click on the audio tab (2), and change the Encoder mode and Audio stream format (3).
For your menu, you'll have to have at least a track menu page to access the audio selection page. Just make sure to choose "Track menu only" when creating your menu via the menu wizard.
I currently own TMPGenc XPress and TMPGEnc MPEG Editor, and for a specific project, I downloaded TMPGEnc Authoring Works.
The purpose of this project is to grab a couple of AVCHD files that were recorded using Sony Handycam cameras (HDR-X100 and HDR-X500), and create Blu-ray discs (BD-R media) without messing with the video itself.
Unfortunately, I don't have the cameras right now, and I forgot to copy the entire folder structure, so I only have the MTS files, and that's what I'm using so far.
In TAU, I'm able to import these files and create a working project and burn it to BD-R media, but the resulting files are always transcoded to MPEG-2.
Is this a limitation of TAU? Does the Blu-ray authoring process only finalizes with MPEG-2 content, or maybe I can change something to be able to use my files without transcoding (re-multiplexing, maybe)?
I saved a movie to DV after using Windows Movie Maker (WMM) to add titles. The resulting avi, whether I use WMM or Pixella to download it from the camcorder has audio at a significantly slower speed than the video when played by TMPGenc 4.0 XPress (4.2.3.193) on the clip screens, on the encode preview, and on the final encode ac3.
When I play said downloaded movie in WMM, it plays fine, and WMP plays it fine. Using TMPGenc, the movie played fine, prior to adding the WMM titles.
What do I have to do to adjust TMPGenc or do I have to fix the file?
