[VIPER_1069]

thanks THE MASK for the update .... will be testing this myself shortly

a few of us have already been testing

[The_Mask]

Let me know what you think.

[losferwords]

This is a quickie, can you (or have you thought of) making The Film Machine work with TMPGEnc?

[The_Mask]

Will put it on the wishlist.

[rustynail1978]

I am just trying to get ahold of some one to offer some space on my domain to host a mirror download for this program. My current domain is ************ and I can easily create you a **************** if you want. Please make sure that whoever needs to see this does. Thanks.


Edited reason:- please dont spam the forum with your domain rustynail1978 if you wish to be a host for the FILM MACHINE please contact THE MASK via PM thanks >>>VIPER_1069 <<<<

please read the forum rules here thanks >

Maybe its an idea to let it work with Mainconcept MPEG Encoder.
It's the fastest out there with no less quality.
It does the job very goog en works with all types of video and audio. VBR, AC3... no problem.

A movie 1:45 hr in about a hour of encoding.

[wijdbeens]

Dont let it run with tmpenc ... (i only have probs with any software which uses tmpenc)

[The_Mask]

@Melk: Mainconcept cannot work with Avisynth script files and does not work in commandline mode, so not an option at this moment.

@Wijdbeens: I am not looking at that possibility right now. Have too many other things to do, like Hyperthreading problem which is priority 1 at the moment.

Can you tell me what kind of problems you have with Tmpenc?

Hi, I was wondering where the Implemented Canopus
Procoder 2 Is?. During setup if i click the Canopus Procoder it will ask where it is. I am only guessing that it is not included in the download and have to get it. Thanks

How to use The FilmMachine:

What do you need?
Everything is included in The FilmMachine package, you only need Cinema Craft Encoder SP 2.5, 2.66, 2.67 or Canopus Procoder for encoding the video. Because these are commercial programs they are not included. You must install the video encoder prior to starting The FilmMachine.

[Exoskeletor]

it still can't handle vbr audio streams.. i have download a lot of movies and i have made a lot of them with Autogk (1cd quality with all the settings in auto mode) and all the movies was made with vbr audio. i can't understand why Tha Mask sais that "This is not the fault of VirtualDub but from de maker of the AVI". you mean that AutoGK is using a wrong way to make the movies?

The problem with low audio stays the same...

[thailand]

Will put it on the wishlist.

TMPGENC is NOT a good encoder...always problems and too complicated

[The_Mask]

Exoskeletor: Why do you use vbr audio when almost every program has troubles handle it?
