Hi there,

I'm trying to output an MP4 H264 for hi-def broadcast at 50Mbps. I'm really happy with the results of the encode other than the colour which is washed out. Is there a solution to this in the software?

Cheers,

Chris

There is a color correction filter that you can apply in the Source stage. Though if it's getting washed out during the encoding process, I'm wondering if the Main Concept encoder is to blame and will it then just wash out the color adjustment filter as well?

Hi, I recently purchased TMPEGEnc and vary happy with the results so far on my HV20 camera (I use it to do the reverse pulldown process to get the 24P material).

I also have a Panasonic GH1 camera that records 25P (the sensor is progressive) in a 50i container (AVCHD) - Aka 25PsF.
If i wish to convert the AVCHD files back to 25P what would be the best method?
1)Choose the deinterlace filter? (and if so, what would be the exact settings)
2)Just save as progressive frames file when choosing the format (for example, choosing Mpeg4 template and 25fps framerate) without using any filter?


Thank you for you help,
Itzhak W.

I believe you only need to set it as progressive and 25 fps in the format stage. The deinterlace filter is actually always active and set to "deinterlace when necessary" so when you choose progressive in the format stage, it will use the filter.

You can always change the deinterlace settings though if you require a specific deinterlacing method or do not wish to deinterlace at all.

Thanks for the reply,
I'll try exporting to 25p (without choosing any special methods) and see how that works.

I have a non commercial Blu-ray I want to convert with TMPGE (home video from my brother). The disk plays fine as a Blu-ray but I can't get the Source Wizard to tease the disk apart like it would with the non commercial DVDs my brother used to send me.

Ideas?

You can use HD Streams Extractor (a gui on top of eac3to) to get the streams from the bluray, then use TMPGEnc for encoding.

Can TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress start with prefered filter enabled?
For exaple with Volume Adjustment filter enabled. It would be usefull becouse each time enable that filter is too long...

I found a useful option to apply a template filter, but normalization is not preserved after aplying a template.

I'd like you to delete my posts. I believe I have three of them, all under the user name Eddy.

I'd greatly appreciate it if you would do this for me.

I want to recode a video from MKV to AVI (Divx) the origin has two audio channels and two subtitles.
TMPGEnc 4.0 gives me no option to choose is it so? How I can do to record all channels?

I'm building a new computer system to convert .vob to mpeg-1 I currently use a intel 6core processor with nvidia video card can't remember the model with ssd drive. Does any one know what the best config is with tmpeg to speed things up faster.

Hello,

I have a registered version of TMPGenC 4.0 on this Win Vista 32 that used to work and now it refuse to initialize. At launch it passes the registration stage and then hang at the initialization stage. I did uninstall and reinstall many times with no sucess. Any ideas ?

Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I recently installed Windows XP 64 bit. I reloaded DVD author 3 and it worked fine. TMPEGENC 4.0 hangs on the license screen. If you put in a wrong license it immediatly tells you. Cannot get activated.

Any help appreciated.

Hi im using this great product on a windows 7 intel quad core with 4gb ram. Im converting MKV to WMV HD for playback of family videos on the xbox 360. However it gets past the first passthrough and then the program says it needs to close. What is going on can someone help me i hate waiting ages for it to just say error....

When creating a PAL 720x576 16:9 DVD from 1920x1080p25 source material, small black boxes (pillars) are shown on the left and right. Also the video is squeezed a bit. Using 704x576 solves the problem, but officially this anamorphic video is not supported for this resolution. There is a solution to use TMPGEnc Xpress to encode the video with certain settings, but IMHO it should also be possible to do this by only using AuthoringWorks. Can this be fixed in a small update (for example an option to choose how to encode the video in this case) Thanks in advance!

What is the aspect ratio in the Clip Properties screen? Adjusting this might solve the problem as sometimes the default setting is wrong.

1:1 (square pixels), but also tried Display 16:9, same result.

I've tried all other values, but this results in a squeezed picture and/or even larger bars / bars on top.

Input is AVCHD 1920x1080 25p (in a 50i container).
So I've manually changed it to 25p (it detects 50i) to prevent unneeded de-interlacing.

I can't replicate the pillarboxing. Is there any way you can post a sample clip of your input footage for testing?

I will post a sample clip somewhere this weekend...

Hello everyone!

"Pegasys Inc. announced today that it has formally signed an agreement with x264 LLC for the use of the x264 H.264/AVC encoder under a commercial license. The x264 encoder will be integrated into the next generation of Pegasys’ popular video conversion software, TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress, and will be the first commercial software granted a commercial license for this technology in Japan".

That's GREAT news, isn't it? :D

Thank you Pegasys! :)

P.S.: Now just add Dolby Digital (AC3) stream copy and Matroska (MKV) output as well -- and everything will be fine! ;)

Cheers!

Awesome stuff! Hopefully they can incorporate that into their next Authoring Works as well.

Is it possible to add a menu or chapter screen to a DVD when using the trial TMPGE 4xpress version?

You can't create DVDs with 4.0 XPress, only encode to DVD-compliant MPEG-2. You want TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 if you need to create menus.
