Hi - sorry for the duplicated topic - can the mods delte the earlier one please?
OK - I've just bought TMPGEnc 5 and have loads of encoding to do.
I have approx 40 AVIs to encode to MP4 and WMV. They all need the same encoding, all to the same output files.
My problem is I can't work out a way of getting this done without taking each source AVI in individually, picking an encode preset and specifying the output name.
Is there an easier way please? if not, then all the batch processor is is a way of delaying encoding - and where's the point in that if it works in the background anyway?
I don't think you need to use the batch encoder for this.
Choose Normal mode instead of timeline mode.
Drag all 40 of your clips into the Source stage.
In the Format Stage, select your output format and for "File Output Mode", select "Output each clip as a separate file".
Then simply go to the Output stage and output to your desired folder.
Before you output, you may want to check the naming preferences in Options-->Preferences-->Output folder/file. You can set it to output with the same name as the source file (but with the new extension of course).
is there an easy way to convert a bluray hd project to a dvd sd project, so that chapter marks and menu information is retained?
i often create both types of project from the same material. i start by using vmw5 to create the hd and sd mpeg files. then amw4 to create a bluray hd project. am trying to avoid the pain of recreating the chapters and all of the menu text.
Easiest way might be to export/save the chapters as a keyframe list and then import the keyframe list into your DVD project. I don't think there's an easy way to retain the chapter names in the menu though.

Thanks, I will give that a try. While I will still have to redo the menu text, if this preserves the chapter marks (i don't care about the chapter names) then it will be a big help.
Another way, albeit it not as convenient, would be to temporarily rename the bluray source file and then rename the sd source file to match what the bluray source file was. Assuming both source files are the same length, I would think all the chapter marks and names will be retained. Of course, you then have to adjust the output settings to match the new source. I think tkrave's suggestion is the best though...I have exported keyframes before and the imported them and it worked great.
How does the performance setting in format stage (Fastest, Fast, Somewhat fast, Normal, Somewhat slow, Slow, Very slow) correlates - if at all - with the x264.exe --preset setting (ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow, placebo)? In x264.exe each of the respective options corresponds to a set of encoder options (see e.g. http://encodingwissen.de/x264/referenz). What are the encoder options for the performance setting in TVMW5?
Could we have a selection as Squeeze has to be able to set at the encoder that the file is 601 (16-235 levels) so it will be processed right.
As it is now it will remap the levels of 601 (assuming it is RGB) and the blacks are greys.
Hi, i have Auth works 4 and was wondering if the offer of free Auth works 5 extends to existing customers of your product as there seems no mention o this in emails?
My impresson is that it is free for folks who buy AW4 on/after Feb 24. Likely a paid upgrade for others
See http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/press/12_0224.html
FWIW AW4 was a $60 upgrade for prior version owners.
Well I can tell you one thing I bought my version of AW4 9 days before the 24th Feb and they won't budge on me asking if they will reduce the cost when the time comes that AW5 is out, It's not like I bought it 18 months ago seems a bit unfair.

I purchased mine almost the same day as you and feel the same way. I emailed them about my feelings and, as yet, have received no reply. From the bad reviews on this latest version I probably won't upgrade anyway.
I think TMGEnc video Mastering need "Automatic" option for some options for detect setting(video system,framerate,Aspect ratio,Display Mode) in formats.This is useful when import several clips with different information.
I want to convert clip with 30p(progressive) to 25p(interlace) but there is not frame blending option as same "Premier,Edius,Nero".
after converting in 3 first frames top/bottom fields are different an 2 next frames top/bottom fields are similar and this method repeat again for all frames but after converting with "Premier,Edius,Nero" with enable "frame blend" option top/bottom fields of all frames are different and motion of output is very good..
please add "frame blend" to TMPGEnc Video Mastering
