Utilize NVIDIA CUDA™ For Filtering and Decoding
NVIDIA CUDA technology is now supported for processing the video filters and decoding. The multiple cores of the GPU can divide the workload and run the processes in parallel for a huge boost in processing speed over your computer's CPU*. This lets you apply multiple filters such as video noise removal (time), smart sharpen, color correction, and more without having to add hours to your output time!
*Speed improvements are dependent on your hardware specifications.
The GeForce8800 GTX/GTS video card using the G80 core is not currently supported. Thank you for your understanding.
Decoding benefits apply to MPEG-1/2 video only and may produce unexpected video output quality compared to regular CPU decoding.
You can activate NVIDIA CUDA processing by going to Options > Preferences > NVIDIA CUDA 2.0.
To learn more about NVIDIA CUDA technology, CUDA enabled graphics cards and graphics card drivers, visit NVIDIA's website.
Performance Optimization Feature
You can choose to optimize your CPU and CUDA performance based on your hardware when you start up the program. This allows the video filters to use the processing method that will obtain the best results, increasing the performance of your hardware and saving you time.
Real Time Processing Rate Display
During output, the processing performance of the CPU and CUDA processors are displayed so you can see how much your computer is utilizing them.
These results are not cumulative and only display the current processing rate.
Test results show impressive performance gains
In the beta version, application performance has been increased by up to 446% with CUDA technology, compared to the Intel Core2Quad Q9450, a top-of-the-line CPU. This demonstrates that CUDA technology will have a major impact on encoding speed, which requires a lot of filter processing.

This software uses a license verification system (L.E.A.P.System) which requires Internet Connection.
After the first installation of the software, the license validation (activation) will be processed when starting the program.
And it will also be processed periodically from time to time.
Therefore, the PC using this software must be connected to the Internet.
In environments like universities or companies using LAN, we cannot guarantee that the license verification will be correctly
processed due to restrictions that might be set.
*Before purchasing the software, please run some test with the trial version
(which also includes the verification system).

*1 Only uncompressed AVI and MS-DV Type2 format AVI are supported. Since the ability to encode AVI files using other types of codec depends on the codec environment, we cannot guarantee that it works
For DV Type 1 format, please convert it to Type 2 using a
DV converter. (Some companies distributes very good free DV converters. )
Type 1→2 conversion is generally a quick process.)
*2 Input: standard MPEG files and the ones made by the TMPGEnc series are supported, but files made from other sources might not be compatible. Please use your 14 days free trial to test whether your files are compatible.
*3 You must have Windows Media Technology installed. Copy-protected WMV (ASF) files and files without seekable attributes cannot be loaded.
*4 For .dvr-ms files, Windows XP Media Center SP1 or later is required for playback.
For .wtv files, copy-protected files cannot be imported.
*5 QuickTime Player 7 (or iTunes 6) or above is required.
*6 In order to use "Input DVD-VR/VIDEO files" function, it is necessary to have a PC system that includes a drive, device driver, such as UDF2.0 reader, etc... that corresponds to the object media. If the file cannot be copied in Windows, you cannot use this function.
Whether or not your system will be able to read such files is determined by many different factors, and we are therefore unfortunately not able to answer any questions how to solve this. Notice also that copy-protected DVDs cannot be loaded.
The VRO files written below are different from the DVD-Video standard and cannot be used:
- VRO files with changing video bitrate such as Advanced VRO.
- Files with other resolutions than 720×480, 704×480, 352×480, or 352×240.
- Files where the audio format has not been standardized to LinearPCM, MPEG-1 Audio Layer2, or Dolby Digital (AC-3).
*7 Importation of AVCHD contents recorded from a DVD/BD camcorder requires Windows Vista or a UDF2.5 format reader.
* Sometimes if a part of the image has been damaged, the file cannot be recognized correctly.* If the audio is a special format (VBR , ogg etc.), it will not be outputted.
* When using a CODEC which cannot simultaneously open 2 or more audio clips, the audio will not be output from the 2nd clip.
* Product specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

- "TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress is powerful with great quality file output. If you’re looking for a multi format encoder, then TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress might be just what you are looking for."
--Wendy Collins
- IT Reviews (www.itreviews.co.uk)
- "It's hard to imagine a more versatile and comprehensive video encoder and decoder than TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress, and its upgraded editing facilities and handy bag of tools and batching options make this a must at the price."
--IT Reviews
- Consumer Electronics Net
- "TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress is my new favorite video encoder. It is very easy to use, offers a lot of tweakability, and the video quality is very good to excellent. There is a lot to this encoder, and anyone working with digital video in virtually any format will appreciate the level of support it offers. If you need to convert video to other formats, from HDV to DivX, this encoder does it and does it very well. Highly Recommended."

- Digital Home Thoughts
- "TMPGEnc XPress 4.0 is easily the most powerful video encoding tool I've ever used - I like using it so much that with many of my video editing projects, I'm exporting them as gigantic AVI files so I can use TMPGEnc XPress 4.0 to encode them. Why? The consumer-level video editing tools I'm using always seem to lack the type of output profiles I want to use. You'd think Corel, Pinnacle, Muvee, and Adobe had never heard of 720p h.264 files. Because I'm using this software as a secondary processing tool, it's frustrating to see the problems with AVI files - but tech support was able to help me through all but one of those problems."

- "The Format step makes you feel like a wizard. You can convert to any format you desire, with an area for ‘custom formats’ in case you really ARE a wizard. And if you’re just in to make something like a DVD, you can select 'DVD standard MPEG' and be done with the mess."
