I have a HP dual-core AMD computer with Windows 7 , running on 3 gigs DDR3 memory and I just recently purchased Mastering Words 5.
I tried to encode Blue-ray and it took over six hours for a 120 min movie.
I tried to encode a tv dvd that I own and convert the files to AVI and one file with a time length of 24 mins took over 4 hours!!!
I have used this program in the past and I noticed that sometimes it would encode very slowly and then sometimes it would work fine. I tried the batch encoding and the times were even longer.
thanks.
6 hours for a 2 hour HD movie is not bad I think. At this price point, you aren't going to get realtime encoding...Definitely not with those computer specs.
As for your AVI, what codec were you using? The codec could be your bottleneck. That could also be why the encoding times were different in the past; you could have been using a different codec.
I import a TV programme from a DVD-RAM. I would like to take out the audio from a certain point in the video. An example would be to delete the audio from say, 10:00 to 10:15. Can this be done with this application?
So you want to keep the video for that section but have no audio, correct?
You can do by splitting your clip into multiple clips to isolate the section you don't want audio in.
So in the clip editor window, move the playhead to the beginning of the section where you want the audio to stop and click the split-clip button. The thumbnail navigator should change color.
Then move the playhead to where you want audio to start again and set another split marker.
Click "OK". It will ask you which sections you want to keep; keep both blue and orange sections.
After confirming, it will turn your clip into 3 separate clips and you'll be back in the Edit Stage. Double-click the clip that should not have audio to open the clip editor window again. Go to the Clip Properties tab. For the Audio Stream mode, select "None". Click OK to finalize the change.
Using TMPGEnc Master Works 5, I'm trying to encode an uncompressed AVI at 923x421 into an MP4 at the same dimensions. Importing the video, the software recognizes the dimensions, but when I try to encode it, it changes them to 924x424.
No matter what I try, I'm not able to use my 923x421. What's happening?
Ok guys i have 1920x1080 MTS and convertint to dvd file and i get black line or left & right..
Is this normal to TVMW5 or I'm missing somthing on settings..
"You can try outputting the video stream with the H.264 output format (video only) and then a separate encode for the audio stream using the Dolby Digital output format, then mux the two streams into a MPEG-2 transport stream with the MPEG Tools."
Basically, the h.264 template does not output a compliant audio stream, which is why it can't make a fully compliant BD file. The video stream itself is fine though, so it's simply a matter of creating compliant video and audio streams and then muxing them together. A user on the facebook page confirmed this to work.
Unfortunately, this does not work with Avid DVD 6.x (oem version of DVDit Pro HD): the video is imported fine, but it gets transcoded by the app (it does so whenever it decides the video is not compliant)
Not being on Facebook, I wonder if someone had success importing H264 video created by TVMW5 in DVDit Pro HD or any other Sonic authoring app ?
What things should I change from the default MP4/AVC settings (beside bitrate) to create BD compliant video stream with TVMW5 ?
Avid DVD / Sonic DVDit Pro is very picky about what it accepts without transcoding
I don't know if command line is possible in TVMW5...if it is, I've never used it so I can't say anything about it.
I would start with a short clip, a couple seconds long, and start with just the basic blu-ray compliant settings shown in the Wikipedia article. Make sure it's a proper Blu-ray resolution, framerate and bitrate. Output as video only, no audio. See if Avid likes it.
If not, start looking at the more detailed settings from the google link. In TVMW5, switch to "MPEG output" mode to access the Advanced settings tab. There, you'll find some of the settings that correlate to the ones in that link.
Why TMGEnc VideoMastering Works 5 codes avi, - mpeg, - DivX, - HDV, - AVCHD - video files and etc. in HDV and Blu-ray formats in 3 times more slowly, than TMPGEnc 4 Express. It occurs and to application of plug-in SpursEngine under payment Canopus Firecoder Blu.

Почему TMGEnc VideoMastering Works 5 кодирует avi,- mpeg,- DivX,- HDV,- AVCHD -видеофайлы и т. д. в HDV и Blu-ray форматы в 3 раза медленнее, чем TMPGEnc 4 Express. Это происходит и с применением плагина SpursEngine под плату Canopus Firecoder Blu.
I have a small problem while editing my movie I choose subtitles english so i will get the time and date stamp on my movie. When i edit my movie from my SD card the first few minutes i ply the file and the time and date stamp appear after a few minutes the time and date stamp diappear is this a fault in the software or are there some settings i am missing so it will play through the entire movie?
Another question, I am using 2.5 Free version and it works great for X > MPEG-1 transcoding. However, if I specify a custom low bitrate, say 300kpbs, the file size doesn't come down and remains the same. Is it a bug or a feature or I am doing something wrong?
I have a movie that I need to fit onto a memory card, so.. space is the issue here.
You may be doing something wrong. Are you sure you're opening the new file and not the source file?
Are you using the wizard? Not sure, but it may force a certain bitrate if you are using a Video CD output template.
I've been able to set a bitrate of 300kbps with manual VBR and CBR, and the outputted file stays true to those settings (or at least very close to them).
>You may be doing something wrong. Are you sure you're opening the new file and >not the source file?
Yes, I am positive.
>Are you using the wizard? Not sure, but it may force a certain bitrate if you >are using a Video CD output template.
I tried both ways. Didn't matter.
>I've been able to set a bitrate of 300kbps with manual VBR and CBR, and the >outputted file stays true to those settings (or at least very close to them).
I tried VBR and CBR @ 300kbps, both ways the file size is over 800 megs in size.
There must be a bug. It just doesn't change the bitrate. Tried manual, 2-pass... everything. In my prev. post you can see that the max bitrate is set to 300, yet it's not the bitrate.
Just want to shout out to Pegasys for greatly improving the DivX encoder performance in TVMW5! The DivX encoder was HORRENDOUSLY slow in Xpress4 and I just couldn't use it. Now with TVMW5 I can finally get rid of the extra xvid codec I was using on Win7!
The upgrade price was a little steep in my opinion, but so far it's turning out to be a worthy update to the best video encoder around today.
I am reviewing TAW4 trial version and noticed the following. On a chapter menu page that has 4 chapter text boxes and uses one thumbnail that changes to show the motion video loop of the currently selected chapter, I noticed that upon selecting each chapter, the audio loop restarts, even though there is only a single audio file assigned to that menu page. Is there a way to keep the audio loop from restarting so that it just keeps playing until another menu page is selected?
Not possible. Animated DVD menus are basically just interactive video files. So when you highlight a thumbnail and it begins to animate, it is actually starting to play a new video file which is why the audio restarts.
I'm using TMPEGEnc 4 Xpress for about 3 years now. Now I got a new Laptop (Win7 x64, all Updates, all the newest drivers, INTEL and nVida card installed) which has CUDA 2.1 Capability (before only 2.0).
Memory-Test (memTest), HDD-Test (HD-Tune), CUDA test (Cuda-Z), CPU test (CPUZ) and system itself did't show any errors at all. All tests are passing succefully. Detailed test sheets available. Performance is great, Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop CS5(x64) are doing great. No errors/BSOD/limits during normal work.
But with TPEGEnc Xpress 4 (newest)and (just bought it today) Video Mastering Works 5 (newest) I got serveral error messages and the programs do not start at all. Not even if I set to start with admin, with GPU choice (nVidia or INTEL) or any other WinXp like compatibility mode. The errors ar alike and reproducable. Pics available.
Both programs say:
0. Initializing program, checking licence ...
1. Close program.
2. EAccessViolation in module TMPEGEncVMW5.exe/177C99E9 Reading error occured in adress 177CA9E9 at adress 177CA9E9.
3. FastMM has detected a GetMem call after FastMM was uninstalled.
Program stays resident as a task as you can check in the task manager.
I am a IT pro but I don't know what to do or check now. Can you help me to make this work?

Since this is a continuing problem and no one has responded, I thought I would provide what I did to resolve this. After installing the application, right click the shortcut to run the app and choose to Troubleshoot Compatibility, then select Troubleshoot program (not apply recommended), then select The program requires additional permissions, click next and start the program, select next, and say Yes, save settings. This seem like an odd problem as I have plenty of apps that just prompt for permission then run, but this one prompts and then still won't run unless you make this change to settings.
I want to produce a PAL encoded DVD with a Dolby Digital Soundtrack from a PAL 25fps MPEG2 file but after Authoring Works has generated the DVD it has a MPEG1 soundtrack.
I've tried to set the audio preferences to Dolby Digital but it always reverts to a MPEG soundtrack. Is there a way to produce a PAL DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack or does AW always revert to a MPEG1 soundtrack for a PAL DVD.
