Question - TVMW5 BBS - iMovie No.69748
Dianne Lemke  2015-06-09 09:18:17 ( ID:sirfov4ktcr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I shot and then edited a series of HD videos in Edius. They are 1920X1080 29.97 fps, NTSC. My client wants to be able to edit in iMovie. I was wondering what format and specific settings you might recommend that would give her decent video quality.

Please let me know if you need additional information.

thanks

Question - TVMW6 - Output differences between VMW5 and VMW6 No.69738
necron99  2015-06-05 06:03:04 ( ID:pwtedgabkmr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello,

I have been using TMPGVMW5 for a few years now and recently purchased TMPGVMW6.

I tried to replicate the work that I have done previously in VMW5 using VMW6. Primarily I reencode 720p/59.94 AVI files to MP4 to author Blu-ray discs.

Here is the Media info for an example input file:

Format : AVI
Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave
Format profile : OpenDML
File size : 639 GiB
Duration : 1h 43mn
Overall bit rate : 888 Mbps

Video
ID : 0
Format : YUV
Codec ID : UYVY
Codec ID/Info : Uncompressed 16bpp. YUV 4:2:2 (Y sample at every pixel, U and V sampled at every second pixel horizontally on each line). A macropixel contains 2 pixels in 1 u_int32.
Duration : 1h 43mn
Bit rate : 884 Mbps
Width : 1 280 pixels
Height : 720 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 59.940 fps
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:2
Compression mode : Lossless
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 16.000
Stream size : 636 GiB (100%)


In VMW5 I use the following settings:
Output Stream Type - MPEG-2 Transport (VBR)
Format - Blu-ray (BDMV) - MPEG-4 AVC
Profile - High @ Auto (Level 4.1)
Rate control - VBR
Setting - 2-pass
Entropy coding - CABAC
Performance - very slow
Output Multiplexer - Sytem (Video + Audio)

When it is done I get a file like the following:
(Please ignore the sizes as this output is not from the input file listed above)

When I do the same thing in VMW6 I use the following (not all of the options have the same names).

I noticed that the video quality is lower in VMW6. I see more blockiness and noise around the edges of the faces in the video.

Looking at the differences in output files I see a few things.

VMW5 VMW6
Format MPEG-TS : BDAV
Video
Id 512 (0x200) : 4113 (0x1011)

I do not know what the change in format or video id means? I believe I am using the same settings, but it looks like it is using a different container format?

As for the x.264 encoder settings they are almost the same as well except for a few.

VMW5
cqm=2
chroma_qp_offset=-4
(missing lookahead_threads=2)
bluray_compat=1
(missing minigop=1)
(missing stitchable=1)
qpmin=5
(missing filler=0)

VMW6
cqm=1
chroma_qp_offset=-2
lookahead_threads=2
(missing bluray_compat=1)
minigop=1
stitchable=1
qpmin=3
filler=0



Can you tell me what I am doing wrong in VMW6? Why is my output format different and why is the video quality lower?

I want to get video of the same quality as I was getting in VMW5. I might have to go back to using it.

One thing I noticed is that VMW6 is faster than VMW5. Using the very slow setting I get 9 1/2 hours to re-encode ~2 hours of video. With VMW6 with very slow it took 6 hours to re-encode ~2 hours of video.

Thank you,
Jonathan Gardner

Can you make those x.264 settings the same? That QPmin in particular should be changed to the same as in v5. Lower numbers there create lower quality. It stands for Minimum Quantization Parameter.


necron99  2015-09-01 01:24:52 ( ID:2k0rd9jbh7r )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am not sure if I can change those settings. I exclusively use the normal user interface. It appears they have changed the settings in the x.264 encoder behind the scenes. By that I mean if I chose the same setting knobs in the user interface, the commands passed to x.264 are different.

Is there a way for me to change what gets passed to x.264 by hand?

As it is I am very disappointed in VMW6 and will never use the product. I am also very disappointed in the support I am being given by Pegasys with this issue.



Question - TMSR4 - TMSR4 slow as heck with 8new 8-core AMD CPU No.69736
sanlyn  2015-06-04 06:32:31 ( ID:lkghfge5.8. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

New AMD build with 8-core AMD 8370 is so slow, TMSR4 and TVMW5 edit and preview are not just slow, they're sloppy and jerky. Encoding/rendering is OK, but the edit and preview players are almost unusable.. Everything else on this machine runs like fireworks, but....wow, talk about TMPGenc being slooooow now.

Formerly this software was on an AMD 4-core, and operation was pretty normal. That 4-core ASUS motherboard's gone now.

I can't be the only user with this problem. What gives with more CPU cores, and why do TMPGenc's preferences say only 1 core is working? TMPgenc's newer software is are the only installedapps with this problem. After Effects Pro had no performance change at all when I installed it on this new PC, and neither did any media players (in fact, all media improved now).



Question - TVMW6 - Sort custom templates by name No.69734
Jeff Brown  Home )  2015-06-02 22:50:55 ( ID:ohtomhetahh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

A carry-over question from version 5:
Is there a way to sort the list of saved custom output templates by name? As I add templates, it gets more difficult to find the ones I have saved; they seem to be listed in order-of-creation.

Oh, and for what it's worth: the flat UI skin is just fine. The layout is a bit improved, and you still beat Adobe in terms of flexibility and output quality.

thx,
Jeff B.



Question - TVMW6 - Importing file H.265 TS No.69731
halfpipe  2015-06-01 09:43:49 ( ID:dkkhltcko32 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When importing H.265 TS file using TS import TVW6 reports the file to be H.264.
However when I import same file "as is" it imports VRY slowly but with success.. I find everything happens very slowly but have the program just 1 hour



Question - TVMW6 - run v5 on different computer No.69729
Gary Phillips  2015-05-31 18:53:15 ( ID:6qscf8aj7ll )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have one desktop computer with Windows Vista running VMW5 and a laptop with Windows 8. Can I install the VMW6 upgrade on the Win8 Laptop and still keep running VMW5 on the desktop? Obviously I won't be running both at the same time. I'm a long time customer and own just about all of your products. Cheers.


tkrave  2015-06-05 04:24:48 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If you upgrade, your TVMW5 license will be terminated. If you want to keep using TVMW5, you will have to do their User Discount option. It's still cheaper than buying TVMW6 at full price.

If you do that, then yes, you'll be able to use both programs, and at the same time.



Question - TAW5 BBS - Blu-ray creation, file size and M4V files No.69723
ihodgman  2015-05-30 20:33:22 ( ID:vsgonkmfmdk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I'm attempting to create a bluray disc using a M4V file which is 27GB.

Authoring works states the file is to large to fit onto a 25GB BD-R so I've set the target media size to 25GB.

However, when the BDVM folder is created the bluray discs is reduced to 12GB and the picture quality isn't a patch on the original file.

I expected Authoring Works to encode the BDMV to fill a whole disc not half of the disc. It certainly did this with Authoring Works 4 when using 1080i MPEG 2 files.

I've tired varying the encoding settings but I can't get Authoring Works 5 to encode the bluray to more than 12GB with noticeable inferior picture quality to that of the original, even when using slow and very slow encoding options.

I have also tried to set a custom target size to 22GB but this still didn't work and resulted in a BDMV of 12GB.

The bitrate on the original file is around 25Mbps and the file encoded by Authoring Works is 12Mbs. Can this be increased to improve picture quality and fill the BD?

At present my only workaround is to use 50GB BD-R and apply no re-encoding in Authoring Works or re-encode the original source file in Premiere CC so it will fit on a 25GB BD. However, before I do this can anyone provide a solution for Authoring Works.

The source video file is 25fps M4V running just over 2 hours.


DP  2015-06-26 02:01:17 ( ID:hrkfsnutyvh )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Maybe recode in TMPGencVMW to under 25GB?


tkrave  2015-06-26 12:45:31 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You can manually set the bitrate in the Source Stage-->Track settings. It may take some trial and error to get it to your ideal output size, however.

Each track has its own bitrate settings, so you could lower the bitrate more on less important stuff, for instance.

Fxgopher  2015-05-25 23:23:45 ( ID:i/yrhfafbac )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Mt preview display window has gone grey and will not display any video file when editing - the sound is there.

I've double clicked to reset it to default, but still the same.



Request - TVMW6 - No subtitle tag support again No.69712
George  2015-05-20 03:16:10 ( ID:kijcek2xaql )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Unfortunately, I see that detecting .srt subtitle tags (italic/bold etc.) has not been implemented once again. A pity. It's quite an expensive upgrade so I don't think I'm convinced yet. 10-bit support is great, 4K/8K useless for most home users, and the new skin/UI is appalling. Please consider adding the .srt tags.

Question - TVMW5 BBS - TVMW6 only one frame rate conversion way? No.69695
greglip  2015-05-08 01:14:00 ( ID:kx6cvy6ojbk )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is it possible with TVMW6 to encode 24fps stream to 25fps by speeding up the stream. Until now I used Grass Valley’s Procoder and all encoded videos are perfectly fluid without jerking every 24 frames. All modern TV sets as well as state of the art Splash player use amazing motion compensation function and unfortunately videos encoded by adding an extra doubled 25th frame looks awfully.

Thanks


George  2015-06-07 22:17:54 ( ID:4uslfllopul )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Unfortunately, frame rate conversion with TVMW5 and 6 sucks. Resulting video is extremely jerky. It seems not much has changed in version 6 in this area.



Question - TAW5 BBS - Track Menu No.69694
rustman54  2015-05-07 13:19:57 ( ID:vupxaecic4c )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is it possible to navigate from track menu to track menu? I have an instructional video with 24 chapters. If I split the video into three tracks, I can then set up a track menu with 8 chapter points. I would like to set up a button on each track menu page that would go to the next (or previous) track menu. The reason for this structure is to avoid the issue of having a multipage track menu. It seems that when you have a multipage track menu, when playing the video, the 'track' button will always return you to page 1 of the multipage menu. I am trying to set it up so that the 'track' button, will return you to the page where the chapter point exists.
