  • Fixed Multiple WTV files imported through the Source Wizard would not open correctly.
  • Fixed Improved the file MPEG-1/2 file importaion when the VBV buffer size value is smaller than what is expected from the file characteristics, but is still within the limits.
  • Fixed Other minor fixes

New in TMPGEnc XPress 4.7.7.307 (Jun 17, 2010)

  • Added CUDA - CUDA 3.0 support. (There is no functional difference in TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress when using CUDA 2.3 or 3.0).
  • This addition corrects the impossibility to launch TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress when a NVIDIA GeForce GTX400 series video card (with a Fermi architecture graphic chip) is present.
  • CUDA 3.0 support is available only for the GeForce GTX400 series video card. Accessing the GeForce GTX400 series video card CUDA function requires the NVIDIA graphic driver ver. 197.13 or newer version.
  • Fixed AVCHD file reader updated. Some data would cause the continuous display of the same picture.
  • Fixed MPEG file reader updated, allowing the correction of the issues listed below.:
  • TS files containing abnormal packets would be processed as normal packets, causing an error during the importation;
  • Some TS files would be mistakenly recognized as a PS file;
  • Linear PCM at 192 kHz would not be correctly processed.
  • Fixed FLV file reader updated.
  • Fixed Conversion to PS of some WTV files containing AAC audio would suddenly come to a stop.
  • Fixed DVD-Video with a VOB containing a lot of useless data would not be correctly imported.
  • Fixed When importing DVD-Video content through the DVD reader, if a problem occurs in a title, only this title is discarded instead of the whole DVD-Video.
  • Fixed Some transitions would not generate the proper effect.
  • Improved Some JPEG data would be imported with added noise.
  • Fixed Other minor fixes

New in TMPGEnc XPress 4.7.6.304 (Apr 6, 2010)

  • Added CUDA - CUDA 2.3 support.
  • Access to the CUDA function requires you update your graphic driver to version 190.38 or newer from NVIDIA. If you use a previous version, you will not be able to access CUDA.
  • Added MPEG-2 + AAC WTV file support (The audio part of a WTV file converted into a MPEG-2 PS file by the Source Wizard may not play correctly in Windows Media Player).
  • Improved Updated the MP4/AVCHD file reader. This new version:
  • Allows the reading of some files that could not be imported before.
  • Fixes a doubled playback speed issue.
  • Fixes a pink video noise appearing in certain configurations.
  • Fixes a bold stripe pattern noise appearing in certain configurations.
  • Improved Improved memory usage for when the memory is too low, "Insufficient memory," "Invalid sample format," or other errors would display. Because of this improvement:
  • Memory usage has been dramatically lowered when setting the output mode to "Output all clips into one file (or set of files)".
  • The negative affects of large memory address space usage are limited, especially in Windows XP.
  • Memory usage has been lowered when registering a large amount of keyframes in a project.
  • Limits the usage of the file importation cache when the host computer contains a large memory.
  • Improved The MPEG file reader can now import a PTS data-only MPEG file.
  • Improved The Dolby Digital decoder continues outputting audio even after encountering corrupted data.
  • Improved Some specific chapter thumbnail pictures from certain DVD-Video data could not be imported.
  • Improved Using NearestNeighbor or BiLinear to dramatically (50x) increase the picture size could rise an error.
  • Improved Drag and dropping a WTV file in the Source list now automatically displays the Source Wizard.
  • Fixed In certain configurations, the Preview buttons of the cut-edit window would not display correctly and the audio waveform would display a "No audio available" message.
  • Fixed In certain configurations, an error would appear at the end of a Windows Media Video output when the "Output keyframe as marker" option is enabled.
  • Fixed Some capture cards' data could not be correctly converted when converting a WTV file into MPEG-2 PS.
  • Fixed AVI 1.0 format outputted DivX file would not play correctly with the default Windows 7 decoder.
  • Fixed Changes to the audio noise reduction filter would not be correctly be taken into account after a preview.
  • Fixed Freezes would occur when applying a filter template containing audio noise reduction or audio fade-in/out to an audio-less clip.
  • Fixed In the batch encoder tool Project editor, leaving the Output file/folder information blank would prevent any reference or cancellation.
  • Fixed Other minor fixes

New in TMPGEnc XPress 4.7.4.299 (Jan 12, 2010)

  • Added AAC 5.1 ch (6 channels) import support. (Importation of an MPEG-2 TS file containing an AAC stream up to 5.1 channels is now possible.)
  • In addition, when importing an AAC stream you can manually set the number of channels in the "Clip properties" stage of the "Clip editor" window.
  • Added Multistream selector function in the MPEG file reader.
  • You now have the possibility to select a specific video and audio stream when the MPEG-1/2 source file contains several video and audio streams.
  • Added Support of the Microsoft TV recorder file format "WTV".
  • (WTV file importation is possible on the computer that recorded the file, or can create such files, and are not copy-protected.)
  • Improved MP4/AVCHD File Reader updated.
  • Should allow the importation of files that could not be previously imported, and solve the playback speed issue.
  • Improved YUV color space information contained in the source file is now taken in account when imported through the MP4/AVCHD File Reader. If no color space information is available, the BT.709 or SMPTE 170M color space is automatically selected according to the pixel rate.
  • Improved When outputting an MPEG-4 file, the YUV color space is selected according to the resolution and framerate, the color space is then converted to the selection before the encoding stage.
  • Improved When the Batch encode tool fails to retreive the automatically saved batch list it now displays an error message, erases the batch list and resets.
  • Improved Following a silence, the audio uniformization filter could highly increase the volume, resulting in an explosion-like effect. The improved filter reduces the occurence of such an issue.
  • Fixed An audio gap would appear when continuing to import a file through the DirectShow reader without seeking it.
  • Fixed The DirectShow Reader audio management has been adjusted, allowing the DivX Reader to correctly get the audio.
  • Fixed AAC decoding now resumes instead of stopping after some corrupted data has been encountered.
  • Fixed Some flawed header or trailer MPEG files are now importable through the MPEG File Reader.
  • Fixed The Windows Media Audio file output does not allow the registration of unexpected file extensions anymore.
  • Fixed The DivX file output basic mode would always set the level to Medium even when Low or High was selected.
  • Fixed In the DivX file output, reducing the profile would display a wrong framerate in the window.
  • Fixed In the DivX file output, it was possible to select a non-standard MP3 bitrate.
  • Fixed The Batch encode tool would sometimes display an error message when started, and not display it when restarted.
  • Fixed The WAVE file output advanced mode would note .1 ch even when no .1 ch was selected.
  • Fixed The Smart sharpness filter picture edge processing is stricter, reducing the occurence of possible problems.
  • Fixed The seek bar motion is now smoother in the Preview display window, or when disabling the thumbnail display in the Clip cut-edit window.
  • Fixed Other minor fixes.

  • Added DivX® file output maximum bitrate is updated to support the new profile specifications (The GMC option is available when the profile is set to "none" and the resolution is no greater than 1024x768).
  • Improved Audio seek processing for DirectShow filter type source.
  • Improved Memory usage for the time-based noise filter is reduced.
  • Improved Output stage: output start, batch registration and preview can be activated through keyboard shortcuts:
  • Encode start/stop = CTRL + Shift + S
  • Batch registration = CTRL + Shift + B
  • Preview = CTRL + Shift + P
  • Improved The MPEG-4 AVC file output bitrate control mode 2 pass Constant bitrate is removed. (Project or output setting template containing the 2 pass Constant bitrate option is automatically ajusted to 1 pass Constant bitrate.)
