Notice for users using the Intel Media SDK Hardware output:
When the Intel Media SDK Hardware is set as the encoder in an environment where the Intel HD Graphics driver is version 8.15.10.2618 to 8.15.10.2656, we have found that some of the following problems may occur:
The size of the output data set in "CBR" settings differ materially from the estimated size.
An error may occur at the start of output; this error has been found to occur for both "CBR" or "VBR" settings.
In these cases, we strongly recommend you install a driver version other than those listed above.


TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 Version 5.2.3.66 - March 13, 2012
New Now supports MPEG-4 AVC encoding in the Blu-ray standard MPEG output format. In addition, supports file encoding for the AVCHD standard, which makes it possible to output an "AVCHD Progessive" stream in 1080/60p and 1080/50p. Because of this new feature, the following settings have been changed:
Important:
It is necessary to install the Intel Graphics Driver version 8.15.10.2361 or higher in order to enable usage of the Intel Media SDK Encoder for the Blu-ray (MPEG-4 AVC)/ AVCHD templates.
The output stream type should be set as a MPEG-2 Program (VBR) or Elementary (Video + Audio) stream when specifying MPEG-4 AVC with Linear PCM.
Added "Output stream type", "Profile & Level" and "Entropy coding" options to the Blu-ray standard MPEG file settings.
The default state for the "Output bitstream for editing (Closed GOP)" option is now unchecked in order to increase bitrate efficiency.
An AAC audio stream can be selected when BDAV (MPEG-2) is set in the Blu-ray standard MPEG file settings.
Maximum video bitrate limited to 35Mbps in the Blu-ray standard MPEG file settings. (To reserve a margin for output, previously saved projects will be revised to 35Mbps if they exceed the new maximum bitrate)
Added adjustment modes for each format in the MPEG-4 AVC Advanced settings of the MPEG output.
*The CUDA encoder cannot be used for the AVCHD standard MPEG output due to the specifications of CUDA.
*Please update to the latest version of the TMPGEnc Movie Plug-in SpursEngine before using it. (You can download the latest version from your User Account.)
Improved (Importation) Extended the search range of the MPEG file reader in order to apply it to TS files which have the start point of the stream far from the point of the data.
Added support for reading the S_VOBSUB subtitle format multiplexed in a MKV container.
Added support for reading Linear PCM audio and subtitles multiplexed in AVCHD 1080/50 or 60p files via the BD Reader.
Added new template options for the subtitle insertion, which are "Video frame & number of the edited clip", "Video frame number of the edited clip", "Time of the source clip" and "Video frame number of the source clip".
Improved the decoding speed for Dolby Digital audio.
Changed (Importation) Changed the compatibility of the project file.
Along with this correction, versions 5.1.1.52 and older can no longer load the project files saved on this version or later. (This version can load the project files saved on previous versions without any problems.)

Could not correctly read a xsubtitle created by TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4.
When decoding a MPEG-4 AVC via the CUDA decoder, the bottom line of the video would be changed to a green color.
Changed (Editing) There was a possibility that a problem would occur on certain players where the output bitstream for editing (closed GOP) will be always checked in the MPEG-4 AVC/MKV file output and the Weighted prediction mode (P picture) will be always set as "Simple" when the x264 encoder was being used. (The settings will be corrected appropriately when previously saved projects or templates are loaded other than it moved or selected to the MPEG output.)
Corrected (Playback, editing, filters) Corrected the volume level meter to display correctly. Along with this correction, the lower value has been changed to "-40dB" on the meter.
A SEH error would occur when seeking on the preview window while the subtitle filter was enabled or when specific MPEG-4 AVC video data was input.
Could not display the subtitles of a specific TS file when seeking on the preview window.

In the timeline mode, the height and width values of a text clip would reset to its default when the clip was copy-pasted.
In the timeline mode, the clip length information would display the previous value even though the length had been changed.
An error would occur when a large value was entered into the timestamp setting in the keyframe mark editor of the timeline mode.
Improved (Output) Added Linear PCM 192 kHz/5.1ch and 96 kHz/7.1ch options in the MPEG output/Blu-ray (BDMV) standard MPEG file settings when the output stream type is set as elementary.
Changed (Output) The x264 encoder engine (x264) has been updated.
Added "full rate distortion optimization in all frames" option in the Sub-pixel motion estimation mode.
If there is a difference between the 1st pass and the 2nd pass cached content, the cache after that point will not be used during Multi pass MPEG-1/2 encoding.
Corrected (Output) Could not output a few frames of the end of a clip when the Intel Media SDK Hardware encoder was used.
The value of the "normal number of frames in a GOP" option would be smaller than the automatically set value which was used depending on the resolution and framerate selected in the output setting.
Displayed the Weighted prediction mode (P picture) option continuously in the Advanced settings window even though the level had been changed to Baseline.
In the Windows Media file output settings, the peak audio bitrate value sometimes would reset to its default even if it was set manually.
Corrected (Other) Other minor corrections

On a PC which had not been restarted for a long time, an error occurred at startup when trying to edit a project that was previously registered in the batch encode tool.
In the explore view function of the timeline window, a sample format error occurred when playing a source with a width or height of 2048 or more.
When inputting an MPEG-4 file into the Multiplexer(advanced) in the MPEG tool, the default output format would be MKV.
Corrected (Other)
A canceled job still remained in the batch encode tool when the tool was re-opened.
When editing a long clip in the timeline window at maximum magnification, making changes to the volume level caused an extraordinary increase in processing activity.

(ex.: In case of a 1920×1080 59.94p clip -upon applying Double framerate filter-, the encoder setting will be 1920×1080 30p. *Note you can manually change the Level and then set any arbitrary value.)

When using the Intel Media SDK or the SpursEngine for the MPEG-4 (AVC) file output in interlace display mode, the resulting framerate would be seen as double than what it should be.
When outputting in an MPEG related format, the encoder's Performance setting would sometimes reset to its default value if the Output multiplexer setting was changed from System (Video + Audio) to ES (Video + Audio) and then changed back to System (Video + Audio).
Corrected (Other) An error would occur when applying the CUDA version of the Precision video denoise filter on a clip with an original or resized specific size.
Subtitle playback timing and other related settings would become incorrect upon cut-editing a part where a scrolling effect was set in the Subtitles filter.

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 Version 5.0.3.29 - February 17, 2011
Improved MPEG-4 AVC (x264) encoder updated.
Added aspect ratio to the MPEG-4 AVC output (12:11 / 10:11 / 16:11 / 40:33 / 24:11 / 20:11 / 32:11 / 80:33 / 4:3 / 3:2 / 2:1) *Available aspect ratio options depend on the selected encoder.
Thumbnail creation for PSP added to the output. (Added in the "Other" tab of the Mobile/portable device MPEG file, MEPG-4 (AVC) file output, MKV file output, and MPEG file output templates.)
iPod/iPhone, etc. named chapter support. (Use the "Edit the keyframe name" option added to the Clip editor window's Cut-edit stage or Slideshow editor window's Preview stage's chapter list contextual menu.)
Demultiplexing of MPEG-2 AAC audio multiplexed in a MP4 container has been added to the MPEG Tools.
When outputting in MPEG-4 (AVC) or MKV, the source aspect ratio is automatically used as the encoder's default aspect ratio.
Maximum bitrate setting added to the SpursEngine output in VBR mode. Following this correction, a warning appears when the maximum bitrate in VBR mode is 1.5× larger than the average bitrate.
Added a "Clear history" contextual menu option in the Start window's Project history list.
Added an encode progress display in the application's task bar icon when reduced.
Blur option added to the Text's border effects in the timeline.
When importing an MPEG-2 video, gets a more precise displayed average bitrate in the Video properties window.
Added an "Apply a low-pass filter on the color channels" option in the SpursEngine file output template. (Enabled by default, disabling this option may reduce the outputted picture quality but increases the encoding process speed.)
Corrected (Importation) An error preventing the importation would occur when pointing the source to a specific BDAV data structure.
Updated the standard MPEG-4 AVC decoder, resolving the issues below:

* An insufficient memory error would occur when navigating through the content of an MPEG-4 AVC source encoded into a specific method;
* Some specific data would yield different results than the reference decoder;
* The recognized framerate would be double the actual framerate and prevent correct playback when importing some specific MP4 files;
* Video would not display correctly when importing AVC video from an M2TS file through the standard decoder;
* Audio noise would occur when importing some MOV files containing MPEG-4 AVC video and Linear PCM audio.

Reduced the TS reader memory usage. This should help avoid the appearance of an "Insufficient memory" warning when editing.
Appropriately imports files without trying to use Picture Timing SEI data (data that holds the picture display timing) which some capture devices do not generate correctly.
Updated the MPEG reader, resolving the issues below:

* Analyzing 192 byte packet TS files would take a lot of time and eventually fail;
* ISDB subtitles would not display correctly after navigating in the clip;
* Some specific characters would not display correctly in ISDB subtitles;
* Stereo audio from a DVD-VR source would be recognized as monaural;
* Improved the reader to handle files with an abnormal timestamp in the MPEG header packet to the best extent possible.

Playback would not be smooth for FLV files with a framerate of 25 fps, etc.
Supports importation of some non-compliant FLV files.
The application would freeze when importing specific MKV files.
AVC streams contained in some MKV files could not be correctly demultiplexed.
The displayed HE-AAC audio sampling rate would be half the actual data.
The fast thumbnail would display a green border on the left of the preview with some specific source files.

Corrected (Output) Corrected issues below related to the Intel Media SDK output:

* The outputted file's profile would be High when using the hardware encoder;
* When encoding in MPEG-4 AVC, levels that cannot be used by the standard (Level 5 / 5.1) would display anyway;
* For the PSP, files encoded through the software encoder using the "Somewhat slow" Performance option would not playback correctly on a PSP.

Corrected issues and improved the SpursEngine file output as below:

* An "Incorrect parameter" error would occur when performing a series of commands in a given order;
* Can no longer encode output with less than 4 frames as per the SpursEngine hardware specifications. When outputting a file with less than 4 frames, the last frame is duplicated until the total length reaches 4 frames and is then outputted

Corrected issues and improved the MPEG file output as below:

* No longer displays non-standard compliant motion search methods (Exhaustive search, Hadamard exhaustive search) and the "Weighted prediction mode (P Picture)" option when encoding video in interlace mode with the x264 encoder;
* When outputting chapters in MPEG-4 (AVC), a first chapter at 0 timestamp is automatically added to the list;
* Unusable channel structures were displayed when using the MPEG-4 (AVC) or MKV file outputs;
* In the MPEG file output, enabling the "Start closed GOP with a B Picture" option would sometimes result in the appearance of an "Invalid MPEG-Video stream" error depending on certain other settings;
* In the MPEG file output, changing the encoder changes the "Maximum number of frames in a GOP" option from 0 to 1023;
* In the MPEG file output, among others, changing the average bitrate setting in the Bitrate calculator now also changes the Maximum bitrate value;
* When selecting the Blu-ray standard MPEG file output, an invalid parameter error would occur due to non-processable settings.

When encoding in AAC audio, a 1 block/1024 sample delay would occur.
When an unexpected error forcing an abnormal ending of the encode occurred, a memory accsess error would then occur and the display would be affected.
Corrected (Other) Corrected issues and improved NVIDIA CUDA support as below:

* CUDA would not be usable when the host computer tries to use both CUDA and the Sandy Bridge internal GPU at the same time;
* Processing the Mosaic filter through CUDA would turn the tiles into green or blackish colors;
* When using the CUDA encoder, enabling the prefetch cache would make the encode process slower than when disabled;
* CUDA related warnings or messages would display when starting the encode process;
* Changed the CPU and CUDA usage rate displayed during the encode process. The CUDA usage rate now appears only when CUDA is actually enabled.
* CUDA performance optimization is now strictier. (With this correction, the performance optimization may take slightly more time than before.)

Corrected issues and improvements in the Cut-edit, Filters and Timeline windows as below:

* An incompatibility would occur for the "Vintage", "Sharpness", and "Smart sharpness" filters when combined with CPU settings that cannot use SSE2 or higher optimizations;
* Application would freeze when applying a Filter template containing a "Sharpness" filter setting;
* When an error would occur during clip editing, the Clip list item's "X" (Delete) button would not function anymore;
* A timeout error would occur when using the "Precision video denoise" filter with CUDA enabled, and could not be used. Also, its default Strength setting is now 100 instead of 300;
* In the "Speed" filter, enabling the "Apply Anti-flickering filter to interlace picture when necessary" option would actually apply the Anti-flickering filter even when not necessary;
* The audio waveform display would not entirely be consistent with our previous software;
* The navigation icon and speed meter would not display when using the "Mask" filter;
* When setting the preview navigation keyboard control to the "% scrollspeed" unit in the Preferences, the scrolling would not occur correctly in the Clip editor window when the scroll commands were used;
* When using filters (Color correction, Subtitles) in Timeline mode, the effect would be displayed twice in the preview;
* Upon moving the preview size slider in the timeline, the mouse wheel would not function anymore on the navigation bar or audio volume slider.

Updated the Batch encode tool, resolving the issues below:

* Upon stopping the batch processing, and re-starting it, the batch processing would suddenly cancel itself;
* When iconifying the Batch encode tool, its icon would still appear in the Task bar even when the iconification preference was set to "Display only in the task tray";
* The batch list information would not update when updating a batch from the main application in linked mode;
* In the Project editor window, entering an invalid output file name would cause an invalid character string error even when clicking the "Cancel" button.

The encoder preview display would not update during the encode.
Setting a keyframe at a timestamp position more than 2 hours in the timeline could not be possible.
In the Clip editor window, the thumbnail now updates when adjusting the thumbnail display and using the navigation keys or during the scene change detection.
Other corrections.

In addition to CUDA-enabled filter processing and decoding, TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 supports H.264/AVC file output using the CUDA technology provided by NVIDIA. The CUDA technology makes use of the GPU (graphic board CPU) with multi-core parallel processing to process complex calculation problems in a short time. By splitting the processes into parallel elements, and using the massive processing power, the program can run even more effectively. Using this function with a compatible graphic board improves processing acceleration when compared with CPU-only use in most cases.

Intel® Media SDK H.264 Encoding and Decoding.
Sandy Bridge Support.

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 also uses the Intel® Media SDK (2.0) to encode and decode H.264 content. This function, which will use the new Intel Sandy Bridge micro-architecture embeded in CPUs that are planned for release in the begining of 2011, enables hardware support of the encoding and decoding process. Tests conducted with TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 showed an acceleration of almost 5 times faster when using the SDK compared to a Core i7.

Enhanced for Intel Core About 5 times faster
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus Support
6 Channel Surround Sound.

Supports the next generation surround sound Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 channel format, widely used in Blu-ray discs, HDTV broadcasts, video distribution networks, and more. Import content that includes this audio format with confidence.

Integrated DV/HDV Capture.
Import Directly From Your DV/HDV Camcorder.

Includes a capture function allowing you to import video directly from your DV or HDV camcroder. You can now seamlessly edit video without using a third party application.

New MPEG-TS importer.
Blu-ray, AVCHD, and MPEG-TS Importation.
New TS File Analyzer.

This function allows you to select a specific import title clip within a Blu-ray (BDMV/BDAV) or AVCHD file. Using the thumbnail preview you can verify the content beforehand and avoid any mistakes. Furthermore, if several subtitles are also available you can select one of them. Regarding the MPEG-2 TS file, the function analyzes and lets you choose to the best extent possible, a multi-structured video file (containing several video, audio and subtitle streams) or video where the resolution changes mid-flow. *Encrypted or copy-protected files cannot be imported.

Timeline Layered Editing Mode.
Go Beyond Just Encoding.

In addition to the normal List mode, where clips are put one after the other, it is now possible to edit in Timeline mode. Of course, you can add several timeline layers. This function is not aimed at creating complex content, but is designed with the feedback and strong demand from our users in the domain of video encoding, who look for adding effects like picture in picture, etc. packed in a simple and effortless interface. Learn more...
The all-new timeline editing mode.

Add Transition Effects.
Over 170 Effects for Slideshows and Clips.

You can now add a transition effect between videos. More than 170 transition types can be combined to create impressive video. This function is also available within the Slideshow clips. Additionally, Slideshow clips can be animated with a zoom-in/zoom-out effect.
The Transition Effect editor. Zoom effects for slideshows.

Instant Clip Preview (Normal Mode).
Check Clip Content Instantly.

When importing several clips you might quickly lose track and have a hard time finding which one to edit. By using the Instant clip preview, you can verify the clip's content without having to open the Clip editor window.

Instantly preview a clip.
Mask Filter.
Add a Mosaic, Blur, or Color Overlay.

When uploading original video to YouTube or other community sites, privacy concerns may require you to blur some parts of the video while keeping it interesting. The new Mask filter makes this possible. It provides different masking types that can be applied to different scenes. Also, an "Automatic" mode allows you to apply the mask position while playing the video. You can even slow down the playback to safely keep track of the area to mask over.
The new Mask Filter.

MKV Output Container Support.
Create a Variety of Files.

Supports the MKV container format output, a format well known for its large freedom of content multiplexing capabilities. TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 allows you to set MPEG-1, MPEG-2, or H.264/AVC streams within it.
The new mkv output settings.

Output One Project to Multiple Formats.
Save Time with Multiple Format Output.

With this function, it is now possible to output all formats that are set in the Output format list at one time, allowing you to output the same video for the Web, for Mobile devices, and PC formats. You can also use it to compare the quality between different settings of the same output format.

2004.5.19 / Ver.3.0.4.24
First Release Version.

Encoding Made Simple.
Navigate Through Your Project with the Easy-to-Use Interface.

The Start-up Lancher window gives you the first option for your project. If you just need to convert one video, or link together several videos, choose the "Normal Mode". If you want to create a more sophisticated output with layered videos, or mix video with different audio sources, choose the "Timeline mode". Next, use the Format selector to choose the output format and continue to the Encode process. Voilà, video creation made simple!
Intuitive stages take you through your project with ease!


Tons of Input and Output Formats.
If you've got it, convert it.

Natively supporting a wide variety of the most recent formats such as FLV (H.264), WebM, and the MKV container, you practically don't need to install external CODECs. You can edit and output without needing any knowledge in these formats. Furthermore, it also includes AVCHD, Blu-ray disc importation and even HDV capture functions. It even includes the Editing Proxy function, allowing you to swiftly edit Full HD content.


Cut-Edit Your Video.
With an Improved Editing Window.

The Cut-editor window, while keeping its user interface simple for quick comprehension, has been enhanced with functions to support high-definition editing.
Drop Folder image

* Accelerated preview/fast navigation thanks to the Intuitive Draw Technology 3.0 （IDT3.0）. The decoding stage can use CUDA or Intel Media SDK (for compatible formats only), making it easier for high definition video editing.
* You can use the mouse to move within an image when the preview image is larger than the display area, making it possible to edit regardless of the image resolution.
*Image with a resolution higher than 2048 pixels is resized.
* Clip Start/End points can now be set through sliders, allowing simplier cut-editing.
* Audio meter displays the channel number and peak level in real time. You can prevent audio distortion by using the audio filters.


Search Smarter, Not Harder.

Use the mouse's right button to quickly search in the scrolling thumbnail strip. Furthermore, by pressing the mouse's center wheel you activate the automatic scene change detection and jump to the next or previous scene change.


The Filter list.
Enhance Your Video with Filters.
Correct, Improve, and Enhance Video.

From filters aimed at improving the image quality of the source (like the Video denoise and Smart sharpness) to the newly added and creative Vintage picture and Speed filters, many types of filters are now available to you.


Encode Your Video.
Use Templates for Popular Devices and Formats.

Using the Output format template, you can safely and simply set-up the encoder, even you use it for the time, without having to verify the player device's limitations. The Output format template selector sets the encoder for you, so you do not need to have knowledge of the intricate requirements of DVD-Video, Blu-ray formats, or highly demanded formats for the iPhone, iPad, PSP and other mobile devices.


Advanced MPEG Tools.
Improved Tools

The MPEG tool, integrated in the Advanced tools window, is a powerfull tool that allows you to multiplex or demultiplex supported video and container formats. This product supports MP4 and MKV containers in addition to MPEG, and supports multistream. Outputted multistream file editing is also possible by selecting an arbitrary stream in the Clip properties. Other advanced tools are the Project checker, allowing you to verify if all files used in a project are available in the host machine, and the Proxy file creator, allowing you to create a ligther, Clip-editor friendly version of a source file that would be too large to process normally.


SpursEngine Plug-In Support.
Take Advantage of SpursEngine Hardware.

TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 can use the TMPGEnc Movie Plug-in SpursEngine, allowing access to the Toshiba made high-performance streaming media processor SpursEngine™.
