TMPGEnc Movie Plug-in AVC for EDIUS Pro 7

[Andreas_Gumm]

Since EDIUS has Lanzcos downscale you could feed the encoder a scaled stream. :)

Yes,
but this needs to change the project settings.
It would be easier to use the pre-selected resizer (in project settings) as preprocess on export too or simply an resize option on export.
Because I don't see that this will change, it would be great if any third party export plugin compensate it.

Waiting to read Anton's verdict.

I tried it but I won't use it because it is missing the filters from the standalone version

it is very important for me to select the Lanczos3 filter for downscaling like 1920x1080 to 640x360 or 1280x720

because of the missing downscale filter, you get the typical downscale artifacts which are not acceptable to me

however, if no downscaling is needed, the plugin should come in handy

Claire, I did an A B comparison while looking at the waveform and I do see an IRE and a black level shift.

Thanks Claire
Just wanted to clarify as sometimes people get off track, just to make sure I was not missing something from within Edius

Hi Barry, I refer to the "TMPGEnc Movie Plug-in AVC for EDIUS Pro 7" this thread is about, see my earlier posts #18,#19 & #20 when I first spotted the colour problem after initially being quite positive about it.

The easiest way to see the problem is to render out a clip in Edius using the plug-in's AVCHD template.

When entering the filename for the output file in the plug-in make the filename extension .m2ts instead of just .m2t which will allow Edius to recognise it properly and it will add it to the bin when done.

Now drag it from the bin and place it over the original clip on the timeline on a higher video track. You should now be able to easily see the difference in colours to the original, especially if you toggle the higher track on/off. As it stands this is not acceptable, I assume it's a bug?

I'm surprised no one has confirmed the colour shift problem I am seeing when using the standard Blu-ray and AVCHD templates. Plain to see...

Claire
Is that via the TMPG Plug in or straight from Edius?
I don't have the plugin tossed it away at the first version as I had to keep going onto the internet everytime I started Edius, pain in the butt
Straight from Edius The Bluray and ACVCHD look ok to me, but I don't use them either
Export a HQ to VMW5 and then author works, takes a little longer but the best I can get with 1 pass
2 pass makes a heck of a difference with H264 or MP4 where transitions are concerned

Having produced a .m2t AVCHD file from the 'test time line' that plays perfectly in WMP and Power DVD I can't deduce a work flow to create an image file for a BD disc. Can this be done from Edius7 or is another program required? I was expecting full integration with Edius but that doesn't seem to be the case. Help!

Ther's a new version 1.0.1.3 - March 6, 2014 : http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/do...p4_rireki.html

[/QUOTE] You can select the Spurs engine, Intel Media SDK or x264 in the Video encoder drop-down.
The statements are accurate as far as I can see.

Thanks Steve,
Missed that, a three fold increase in speed.

For our Firecoder it necessary to download the 1.11 package and install the driver for the Firecoder. You don't need to install software in the package just the driver.

After you have installed the driver and the device is seen by windows you can install the Pegasys plug. It looks for the spurs engine and will see our Firecoder.

[Jerry]

I don't have a Spurs device, but it works quite well with quick sync and x264. You will need to setup your export presets so that the files are readable in Edius 7.
If your Spurs device is showing in Device manager, I don't know why it isn't showing in the drop down.
