So I have a 16:9 clip, it loads in fine. It's from a DVD.

The steps I took are as follows:

Start New Project - Normal Mode

From DVD/Blu-ray/AVCHD

I select the drive the DVD is in using From Drive

It loads everything in fine. The clip shows up as 16:9 like it's supposed to, I look at the properties and it says 16:9 as well. Then when I choose Output to AVI I use the Lagarith codec but it never keeps the 16:9 aspect ratio. It makes it 4:3 Letterboxed. I can't see anywhere to change this and I can't figure out why it changes it because all the settings are right previous to the output of AVI.

Thanks,

When adding many (80 + ts files I must spent a lot of time clicking next on each file as it is added. Is this really necessay? Have looked in preferences but can't find a way for the video files to be added without the extra click to accept
tks

actually this time I have 333 small avchd files to convert to mp4 and it is very unfortunate that TMPENG MW6 cannot simply import these files by selecting all of them a once and importing all into a Project without the need to click "next" 333 times
bummer I have to use a free converter and get inferior encoding but more user friendly

This may have been a feature added since your post, but if you use the Source Wizard and choose Add DVD/Blu-ray/AVCHD, then browse to the first level in your file tree (for example, in my Sony camera - It's >Private>), the program will group your files together in Playlists. Very easy to deal with.

Since I updated to version 5.2.4.63 (over the previous version), every time I start to create the output folder by clicking on the "Start Output" button, I get an error message as follows:

Loading error occurred at address 008E954C of module "TMPGEncAutoringWorks5.exe" with 00000004

The program just waits until I press "OK", then it proceeds to check/erase the output DVD and begin creating the folders. I don't see any errors in the Windows Event Viewer. My OS is Windows 8.1 32-bit and I have 4GB of RAM.
The error doesn't appear to affect the final output, but it is very annoying.

Ive run into a new problem with Mastering Works 5 that I never had before. I import mp4s that were exported with Adobe Media Encoder at 1920X1080/Main 4.1/11kbs VBR/Stereo 48khz. I use Mastering to bust these down 720X404/800mg streaming size. I've been doing this for years. Now though when I import an Adobe encoded clip it crashes the program. Any ideas why?

Thanks

Is Video Mastering Works 5 compatible with Windows 10? I don't want/need to upgrade to version 6.

You should not even be thinking of Windows 10 yet.
Even though Microsoft keeps trying to push it down the throats of Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users, its far from ready for release.
Tons of bugs has been discovered inside Windows 10 that yet has to be fixed, mainly when it comes to multimedia. This means that video and audio editing software will not run smoothly under Windows 10 at all, but very unstable.

Stay away from Windows 10 for now if you actually want that system. Wait for them to have sorted it all out, so thjat it will be a 100% finished product you upgrade to.

I'm putting this in the Video Mastering Works BBS because there isn't one for the Plug-in. Feel free to move it to the appropriate place if this is wrong.

Yesterday I installed the trial for TMPGEnc Movie Plug-in AVC for Premiere Pro:

http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/tppm4.html

Today I noticed that my hosts file was now missing, which was very concerning, so I ran some virus scans/etc. The only thing that I have installed in the last few weeks was the trial, so I ran PrPlugin_Trial_1.0.5.5_setup_en.exe in Virus Total and this is the result:

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/d04cb323af2eb7e45cefde853f43cd570edd83a20f43fac17874faef1c774c33/analysis/1439759947/

As you can see it was cleared by 55/56 AV companies, but Bkav flagged it as containing the trojan virus called HW32.Packed.B81D.

It's probably a false positive, but that combined with my hosts file disappearing made me decide to post here and let you guys know. Thanks.

Hello,
I am using Winfast PxVC1100 with TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 with good results.
Now I expect TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6 that works well on windows 10, with advantech HVC-8700, is it in your plan?
Sincerely yours

Hello balout

I also use Winfast PxVC1100 with TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5, did a test simulating the compression quality Loilo Scope for uploading to YouTube.
Game Wow Fraps 1080p 24fps => (SpursEngine)

I would like to share templates using SpursEngine my email is smartfinder@hotmail.com

It is an excellent suggestion using Advantech HVC-8700 as a new SpursEngine for H265, this news was waiting for 1 year;)
(NVENC for H265 has in practice the same quality and size as H264.)
(NVENC has better quality than SpursEngine, but is not compatible with Blu-ray)

(TVMW6 6.0.6.17 trial): I splited clip on the timeline. After encoding I found sound digital "click" on split point (source and output sound is PCM with same identical parameters!)

Sometime in work process on the timelime TVMW6 crash (process frozen) when my HDD not have time to spin up from idle for read videofile. TVMW5 not have this problem!

one more: why for x264 encoding I can not set subme 10 or 11? Why I can not set manual parameters command line for x264 encoding???

one more: I have a videofile with wrong parameter of interlace. And when I switch manualy in Field Order clip property from "Bottom Field First" to "Top Filed First" - it's not have a affect in Clip Editing and output.

The previous version was working well on Windows 10, but I installed the 6.0.6.17 update and now the program will not launch. I get an error every time and the program closes during the opening splash screen, right after the serial number is verified and it says "initializing". I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but I get the same error. Something in the newest upgrade keeps the program from starting and the error message "TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works has stopped working" appears and the program closes. Below is the info about the error as listed in Event Viewer:

I contacted support and followed their suggestions: I searched for LRXHCodec.dll but I don't have that file on my computer, I
ran as administrator, I uninstalled QuickTime, Divx and K-Lite Codec pack, I used IObit uninstaller to fully uninstall TMPGEncVMW6 and reinstalled. It
was working properly prior to the installation of the 6.0.6.17 upgrade but
after installing that version I can no longer launch the program, despite
uninstalling and even trying to install 6.0.6.14. Nothing has helped.

Has anyone experienced similar problems? Any suggestions as to how I might fix this problem. I am trying to avoid a clean install of Windows, since I am having no other problems with any program and even VMW6 was working prior to the recent update.

Thanks.

if you did not make this attempt, try running the setup file as an administrator by pressing the right mouse button.

would TMPGEnc Vmw6 support a Intel Xeon E5 2680 v2 2.8GHz Ten Core 20 threads
cpu ? and use all the cores/threads ?

I think it would. Download the trial and see if it does.

Thanks for the reply just email tech support.. Just didn't want to buy the cpu if it didn't support it... money saver... as there quit expensive

Ah I see, you don't have the cpu yet.

Doing an encode right now, and it's utilizing an average of 83-95% and using all 8 cores on my machine. This is with task priority settings set to highest; I think it will be lower when set to normal.

Actually, I think I read the data wrong. The processes on my computer are using around 80-90% of the cpu, and of that 80-90%, TVMW6 is utilizing anywhere between 80-97%.

In a single Track, is it possible to force a return to menu after a chapter marker. I have combined several clips into one 'track' but want the chapter menu to appear after one of the clips has played.

I'm assuming you meant to post this in the Authoring Works 5 forum?

You can set the chapter end action in the Menu Stage-->Global Menu Settings-->Chapter Display tab.
For each chapter, you can select whether to play the next chapter or go back to the menu.
Note that this option will only appear for DVDs; Blu-rays don't have this functionality I guess.

Can I set individual parameters of encoding for individual clips? For example,I add two clips and want that one clip has been encoded into MPEG2 and other into MPEG4...

You can't set the output format for each clip and then just click "Encode" once if that's what you're asking.

You need to select the output format before encoding for each clip.
This is a lot easier in Timeline mode; just put each clip on a separate layer, then click on the "S" (Single mode) button to make only that layer active. Select your format and add to batch.
Then go back to the Edit stage, click on the "S" button for the next clip/layer and repeat the process.
After all clips are added, run the batch.

It's pretty fast that way.

Thank you very much...
