HELP!! I've bought the tmpgenc exp 3.0,registered,downloaded the retail version, installed the setup launcher, restarted my computer but don't know where to find the tmgpenc 3.0 Express icon. Usually it tells you where the file is going to be installed, but this time it didn't so I don't know what to do. Please help!!!

In the normal place, Start->Programs->TMPGEnc?

Can't you just go in you "C:\programm files" directory and sort the entry by date. Look at the folder created or modified today (or when you installed the soft)

How do you live when we are asleep ?

well I tried looking for the file under the name TMPGENC 3.0 in my C:\ it wasn't there, and with tpgemc 2.5 I had a little shortcut on my desktop. I didn't realise it installs itself on my start menu. It didn't say anything about being installed there

Does your mum know you are using the PC when she's out ?
Seriously, how old are you wowie ?

We are here to HELP people to do KVCD (and that's a pleasure to do that), not to ASSIST them to live

THe link doesn't seem to be working. Does it have the kvcd PAL template for 120 mins?

OK, I tried TMPGenc 3 with XDVD settings for my my mini DV material. Results are very good.

As some of you know, I use your script in TMPGenc 2.5

I now tried simply chosing XDVD, deinterlacing, average bitrate 2500, lowest 300 and top 6000 and I get simmilar results-really comparable but at about 25-30% smaller file size. Wow.

So guys what do you recommend. How do I include any filters or improve further the results with TMPGenc 3 ?

As mentioned-source is clean mini DV from a digital camcorder.

There's a new optimised version of KernelDeint here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81322

And UnDot() can be safely replaced by RemoveGrain(mode=2).

http://www.removegrain.de.tf (the page may load very slowly!)

For captures, you might want to try CNR2():

There's something to play with

OK-how do I use this in TMPGenc 3?
Do I still import the KDVD template?
Do I use scripts like in the TMPGenc 2.5 ?

Thanks.

Those are just changes in the Avisynth script so you'll have to load it in TMPGEnc, of course. I wouldn't use any of the TMPGEnc filters

Do you guys know of any good templates for TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress, I've been able to find this one only:

http://66.102.11.104/search?q=cache:...c+xpress&hl=en

Also, are the TMPGEnc 2.5 templates accessible from the main page ever gonna be "upgraded" to 3.0 Xpress?

Thanks.

No.

I'm beginning to dislike you.
Anyone else has got something helpful to say for a change?

He only answered your question. What's wrong with that? It's highly unlikely that they will ever be updated for 3.0.

Hi DARcode ,
Don't.
I'm quite sure your feelings towards Phil will change to the opposite in sometime.
You will find that he can really help when you need
Well there's really not much that we can say on this matter, really.
Overall, TmpgX3 seems to be a GUI uplift from it's previous and very successful 2.5xx versions.
If I were you, I'd go back to tmpg 2.5 and use the existing templates.
That is, if I were you, of course.
Cheers

DARcode, welcome in forum!

Phil is an and take care of the whole forum with extreme knowledge and goodness....

and will help you a lot!...trust me, Phil is a joker and sometimes uses "economics and objectives" works in his answers(like..."no")

Thanks guys, regarding Dialhot (Phil?) he's already expressed his lack of interest for TMPE 3 XP in the Italian forum, where I tried to help a user he basically brushed off, anyway I'm new here so I might've misinterpreted his intentions and attitude (even though "No" period is a pretty blunt reply), we'll see.

Back to the thread's subject: I still have TMPGE 2.5 installed and I'm still using it, but TMPGE 3 XP is way faster on my machine (with identical, at least to me, results) and it supports the Pegasys AC3 plug-in too.

Is there a newbie forum/subforum in here where I can ask a ton of silly questions, please?

Yes it is. The question was asked in JULY, I answered that this question was already asked on the english forum and the answer was "No, the template won't be updated". That's why my answer was so short yesterday.

As I said also in july on italian forum, all people here have two hands, a brain and the official spec for KVCD. But in all this time no-one ever deliver an updated template. If there is any interest for that, why don't you update the template(s) and simply share it with the community ?

Asking, asking, asking...

Any forum. After having read a little just to be sure that your silly question wasn't answered two days (or two months ) ago.

I'm more than willing to convert the templates myself and contribute to this community, the problem is I'm no video editing expert: I'm a systems engineer, and that means I know fairly well how to have heterogeneous computer systems communicate via several types of hw/sw infrastructures but I know little about applications, so yes I do have two hands and a brain with a decent amount of PC knowledge (I'm familiar with Windows regsitry tweaking and I'm no stranger to command line for example) but I need tons more of info to be able to accomplish my K(S)VCD goals, therefore I'm asking not out of laziness, rather cause we have a few experts here who are very likely to be able to do what would take me days in a matter of hours if not minutes.
I asked the same question both in the Italian forum (actually it was another user) and in this one since I think they're browsed by different users mostly.

Arguing aside, tell me how and I'll convert the templates, let's start with what the .MAT file downloadable from that German page is for and what is its equivalent in the TMPE 2.5 templates (I'm oblivious to the architecture of both), please.
Also, do I need any other tools/applications?

Unfortunally, if anyone knew how this version works, the templates would have been already updated.
You are the first one that report to have a speed gain by using it. Beside that, all people agree that this version is just a (paying) GUI above the old engine.
