When I import a batch of different video files I would like TMPGENC to take
1. the videoframerate (eg. 25 fps),
2. the videodimensions (eg. 800x600),
3. the audio frequency (eg. 48khz) and
4. the audiobitrate (eg. 128 Kbps)
from each individual source file and leave it as is (same way Mediacoder works). This way these are left unchanged.

please someone help me.
i changed my resolution 800x600 for up 1200 and now
turn back 800x600 and desaper, the buton encode.
tmpge window is so big, no resizable. no work. pluease help me
------------------------
eu mudei a resolução de 800x600 para acima de 1200 depois que voltei para 800x600, o botao de encode nao aparece na tela, a janela do tmpge ficou grande demais e não cabe toda na tela e nao tem como usar pois ele nao tem opção minimizar maximizar. Obrigado
------------------------------
yo cambie la opcion 800x600 e ahora volve a 800x600 y la opciona "encoder" no veo admas, la ventana es mas grande que imagene del pc. gracias a todos que podán ajurár-me.

800x600 is too small. The software requirements states that it needs at least 1024x768 resolution.
You have to increase your monitor's resolution or get a better monitor.

I have used TMPGEnc 2.5 for years for my MPEG-2 encoding for DVD, and it works great. But I want to move up to TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress.

I have been testing the trial version of TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress, but there is an important setting I can't find that is in TMPGEnc 2.5.

The setting ''Output YUV data as basic YCbCr, not CCIR601''. This is on the Quantize matrix page in TMPGEnc 2.5.

How do I enable this in TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress? It is required for the frameserving I do from Vegas Pro 9 to TMPGEnc for the proper contrast range and colors to be used, based on Vegas' RGB Studio space (16-235) that it uses and that it sends to TMPGEnc.

This has worked for years with TMPGEnc 2.5, so I can't imagine it would have been removed in 4.0.

So where is it hiding?

Thanks.

This authoring program still has absolutely no support for Windows 7.
When you intend to do that ? next month ? next year ? never ?

don't use cracked one

yeah its the patched software which makes it not work.

the patch currently works for all version apart from windows 7, and its all down the the different files system used within windows 7

TMPGenc 4.7.1.284 and TMPGEnc Authorings Works not run in Windows 7 64bits , what happened not works in 64bits plataform

well it will work fine on xp x64 vista x64

they just haven't caught up to windows 7 32 or 62 bit, it may very well be in their next version.

i would say it will be a stupid move of them not to do it

ok they do support windows 7, but don't support cracked versions and yes i know to well you are running a cracked version because its the release groups patch that is causing the software to not work when you load after install and comes up with errors such as runtime error

Hi

I would like to include a kind of chapter at the ending of the clip, which will contain the credits of the movie.

Do you know if it is possible to do that with Authoring Works 4 or I will need to create it outside of the program and import it to the program.

Thanks in advance

Slfreire

if its just to add a segment already done, then yeah just add it on, but if its here you need to create it fom scratch, then outsider software is needed

Hi Mathew

Thank you for your prompt help.
Then I understood I need to create the chapeter of the credits in an outsider software and then import it to Tmpgenc.

Do you suggest any software with power to do that ?

Slfreire

well if your on a pc , adobe premier pro can do it and so can sony vegas pro 9

itl take a bit to get used to with both areas.

with mac, there are many great software since mac is far far better than the pc with editing and video encoding...but i dotn own a mac sadly

I'm encoding 23.976P avi (1920x1080) source to MPEG2 for bluray. After encoding the audio and video duration is not the same anymore. Video duration is always a few frames shorter than it's audio. What is the problem with TMPGEnc 4?

I don't if this is possible or not. I want to create a multiple file DVD project with anywhere from 4 -7 video episodes per disk. I had read somewhere that, if your going to use multiple clips then associate one clip per track. I'm not sure how that's helping my menu plans though.

After I load up all of my tracks and files, I want to create a top menu that says just the name of the show, that's all. Then have it set up where I just click on one button and that would then lead me to just one page that has all of the files I am using.

I don't want to have a separate page for each file but I've noticed that TMPGEnc likes to do that. Ok so how do I do what I want to do?

Here's how to do it.

-In the Menu Wizard, select Create a custom menu.
-In the next screen, in the "Title Page Use" box, check the box next to "Create a title page in the top menu."
-Then go on with the menu creation process and choose the layout you want for your top menu. I suggest choosing "TEXT" for your button template.
-When you get to the Menu Composition Settings window, select Top Menu only.
-Choose whatever other options you want and finish the menu creation process.

In the Menu stage, you should have an extra page (the title page).
This will appear before your Top Menu. By default it should have a Title, Play button, and Track Menu button.
Since we chose TEXT as our button template, the buttons are composed of editable text instead of an image.
-Change the "Track Menu" text to the name of your show. If you don't want the Title and Play button to be visible, just delete the text.

That should get the menu structure that you're looking for.

Can someone recommend a format/program to convert FLVs to that won't double or triple there size? What format would be acceptable to TMPEnc 4 authoring works 4 and still have roughly the same size/quality?
Thanks to all who contribute!

Did you planned to Windows 7 support?

I'm running the Batch Encode tool in the background, and I've noticed my CPU speed varies wildly.

First, my system:
AMD Phenomx x4 810 (2.6gHz)
4gB DDR2-800 RAM
Win7 RC (64-bit)

No matter what I set the priority to, my CPU never shows more than a 75% (total, across all cores) load. Not only that, the CPU speed varies between 800mHz, 1400mHz, 1900mHz, and 2600mHz (according to PC Wizard, from CPUID.com). These correspond (roughly - I think the 1900 is supposed to be 2000, but whatever) to the power-saving states of my CPU.

I've tried changing the task priority under Options, but it doesn't seem to have an effect (I know that option worked when I ran Windows XP, but that was also a different processor).

Has anyone else experienced something like this? I'd like the encoder to be nice while I'm multitasking, but if I'm not using the computer, I'd like it to run at 100% to finish faster.

with the batch too, go to preferences and select high priority on background and other option aswell which i cant remember whats it called.

Did you read my original message? I already set the task priority, and it had no effect.

Hi!

It's not a help, but I have the same problem. CPU usage is max on 60%. It seems that the application is not optimized for multithread (dual, or 4-core) operation. It would be of great interest if a moderator could comment on this and advise if there are any new versions in the near future which solves this.

I'm running on a HP xw8000 dual Intel Xeon processor 2.8 GHz, 512 KB cache, 533 MHz front side bus with SCSI RAID 2x 15000rpm HDD.

ok with both cases, im thinking both of you have a graphics card that has cuda feature on it

I've noticed that if I just start with my Track Menu page, there is a link for "Chapters" on the first page. I've never been totally sure what chapters are. Do you even need them? I've noticed that I can get rid of the reference if I want to.

very simply put, instead of going to the start each time and fast forwarding to the part you missed etc, you can go to the selected chapter of the where abouts it is.

if you go to the start where you added the file theres the edit tab, go in and on the edit tab within it look down right theres a menu button and i think its the top option, i would noral select the 2 option within that ie the mins selection. i go for 5 mins. it will then scan for every selected chapter section.

you thenpress ok and go on with your editing.

Actually, right after I posted this I discovered some revelations about chapters in my AVI's. Basically the ones I have don't have any more than one chapter. I found that out by opening up the "Chapter Editor" That makes sense too because someone else had told me that things like special features, cannot be retained in an AVI, so that would explain about chapters too.
