I don't think this will actually affect my encode since I am in fact encoding to NTSC 4:3, but from a software programming standpoint it really irks me to have paid for a poorly coded/tested tool. I will probably be giving CCE Basic a try.Ī small point to add: whenever I go into the Settings under the advanced tab, the program is often resetting the Source Aspect Ratio to "4:3 525 line (NTSC,704x480)", even when I try setting it to something else.
Like others, I'm disappointed by the long encode time. I will say that the resulting encoded files look good so obviously I'm getting value out of the tool. Pretty much all of the other video software I use is freeware and troublefree so I'm surprised that TMPGEnc Plus, which I paid for, is easily the most fussy software I'm currently using. VirtualDub had no such issues when using Lagarith Since VirtualVCR has a good rep for keeping audio sync, I thought it would work best - but instead I found the encoded mpg to always have a 150-200ms offset. I've been capping with VirtualVCR and VirtualDub using either HUffyUV or Lagarith compression. Raw AVI and frameserve with Avisynth don't work for me. First off, the only way I can get it to encode without freezing is to frameserve from VirtualDub.
It took a bit of experimentation to get TMPGEnc Plus to work for me the way I want it to.

When reading empty files (zero data), it could take a very long time to show the error message. : if saving a template under no name, memory access violations occurred. : if saving an existing template under a new name, it could not be deleted. : when clicking the Cancel button in the dialog, the dialog was shown again. : The Aspect ratio 2.21:1 for MPEG-2, was set to 2.11:1. The encoding of MPEGs with GOP structure using only I and B pictures, has been improved. Errors related with encoding using multi-thread. CRI Sofdec MPEG Decoder can read WAVE files (48 / 96 khz, 16 / 20 bit, 1 / 2 ch). Decoding process of MPEG-video is faster. Encoding of scenes using still-image, has been improved. Image quality for MPEG-1 with long-GOP, has been improved. Created MPEG-2: the sequence display extension value in the header is now DVD compliant. : Even if Closed GOP is not selected, the GOP structure is now compliant with the MPEG standard. bitrate is written instead of the average bitrate for the multiplexing rate. In the MPEG system multiplexer, the max. : in the media pull-down selection, DVD 8.5 GB (Double Layer) has been added, for the bitrate setting and size graph. Therefore, project created with the new version cannot be used with older versions. The formats for the project file and the template file have been changed.
