A completely re-engineered file importation engine, sporting support for the newest and most popular file formats around such as MKV (H.264), FLV (H.264) and MOV (H.264/Linear PCM).TMPGEnc KARMA..Plus natively supports those formats, so you don't even have to install any additional codecs to view their content!
Furtheremore, TMPGEnc KARMA..Plus now natively supports Dolby Digital Plus, adding even more convenience to this video library management software.
*Note: Audio only support not available.
(Ver. 1.1.0.70 and newer)

Enabling this function not only allows you to start the application quickly, it also works in the background to create the thumbnails of the registered video files in the Library folders, giving you instant access to the story thumbnails when you actually use the application.
*When using this function, you can exit the application by right-clicking on its icon in the System tray.

TMPGEnc KARMA..Plus embeds its very own file reader developed by Pegasys allowing the playback of the Google proposed WebM open video format for the Web. From now on, you can enjoy playing, navigating, and displaying WebM files simultaneously in an incredibly stable environment. Also, by developing our own decoder we have been able to achieve the optimum playback and audio quality of Vorbis audio without using any GPL.

TMPGEnc KARMA..Plus now officially supports the GTX400 series graphic card embedded with NIVIDIA's newest Fermi architecture. By automatically recognizing the hardware, it selects the most appropriate CUDA version and provides the best performance from the GeForce graphic cards, including the GTX46 line.

*When using the CUDA function of a GeForce GTX 400 series graphic card, the internal setting of the preferences becomes CUDA 3.1.
*Accessing the GeForce GTX400 series video card CUDA functions requires the NVIDIA graphic driver ver. 258.96 or a newer version.
*Pegasys Inc. does not provide any guarantee of performance acceleration. Performance depends on the CPU/GPU specifications and other factors.

TMPGEnc KARMA..Plus can playback numerous MPEG-1/2, H.264, MPEG-2 TS video files without relying on any codecs. Furthermore, it's AVC/AVCHD video compatible (*.m2t, *.m2ts, *.mts files) and supports AAC and 5.1 channel Dolby Digital audio.
Note: Even though they aren't necessary, TMPGEnc KARMA..Plus will still support any DirectShow codecs that are installed.

Sort your files in the category you want with simple drag 'n drop action. Just drag the file from the top list to the bottom list, or vice-versa. Since you can freely specify the content of each library panel, your sorting options are completely customizable!

When registering a file in the library, this function not only creates one thumbnail picture, it extracts several thumbnails to create an animation. Placing the mouse pointer over the thumbnail shows all the extracted thumbnail pictures in order, allowing you to check the file content without having to play it.

Quick Preview allows you to play up to 3 videos at once in the main window. Start or pause videos just by clicking on the thumbnail preview. You can even check the file's video information such as video format, audio format, video bitrate, aspect ratio, audio sampling rate, picture size, framerate, audio channel mode and more!

In the "Playlist" category you can set and arrange the order of several different or identical videos. Great for videos that are meant to be played in sequence or for creating your own video marathon!

The multi-function Player window lets you playback your videos and features our original "Intuitive Draw Technology 2.0 (IDT 2.0)" picture rendering engine for fast picture display.

Intuitive Draw Technology 2.0 (IDT 2.0) - Our original high-speed rendering engine.

Intuitive Draw Technology 2.0 (IDT 2.0) - Our original high-speed rendering engine.

This improved rendering engine went through further optimization, allowing the display of several videos at a time. Use the thumbnail navigator to easily scan your video at variable speeds with the click of the right mouse button.

Chapter Function

If you stop the playback for whatever reason, you can resume playback from where you left off with the playback resume function. In addition, you can add chapter points to your video so you can easily jump to a particular part. With the click of the mouse, you can set and save up to 32 chapter points per file. The saved chapters appear in the chapter panel and are sorted by the order in which they occur, allowing you to choose where to start with ease. The number above each chapter thumbnail refers to the keyboard's number keys so you can quickly jump to any chapter in the video.

When low resolution videos are enlarged, the picture quality is often unsatisfactory. In these cases, applying the KARMA..Clear filter improves the overall picture resolution quality, providing a sharper picture. Also, when viewing an interlaced video, you can manually enable or disable the deinterlace filter, letting you compare it against the original video quality.

*The KARMA..Clear filter is recommended for all videos with a resolution of 480 pixels in height or less. The filter can also be applied to larger videos but may not yield good results on high-resolution images, and can also slow down its playback.

Before video decoding or video filters are used, the application performs an optimization routine to decide whether the CPU or CUDA will be most suited for the job. This allows for the best performance for the situation. When CUDA is being used, an indicator will let you know that it's on.

Besides decoding video and applying video filters, having a CUDA-enabled graphics card will allow you to output files in the H.264/AVC file format. Use custom output settings to tailor the file to your needs, or use the handy iPod and PSP presets for easy encoding for your portable device.

You can register either an application or a file in the new application launcher. For example, you can launch TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress from the Launcher to easily edit the video you're watching. Also, you can drag 'n drop directly from the library to a TMPGEnc series application to edit the file. This feature isn't limited to TMPGEnc applications; add any third-party app to the list, or even a directory on your computer!

In TMPGEnc KARMA..Plus, you can use color labels to help sort your videos by importance, or come up with your own meanings for each color!

This function allows you to output the current playback file on a video projector (or secondary monitor). You can use this function to check on the video playback or the video information while playing it in a full screen, or show a comparison result to several people.

In the Player window, switching from one video to the next has never been easier with the new drag navigation control! While watching a video, simply click and drag to navigate through your video library without going back to the library listing!
