Features At-A-Glance:
  • Encodes AVI file into MPEG-1 format (MPEG-2 encoding available for 30 days)
  • Wizard mode makes it easy to encode with just a few clicks
  • Create MPEG for VCD easily
  • 2passVBR encoding engine
  • Adjust size, aspect ratio, and more!
  • Multiplex/de-multiplex the Video/Audio stream

Main features

1. Project Wizard

Although MPEG encoding used to be for specialists only, everybody can now create MPEG-1/2 files easily using the project wizard. And because of the automatic bitrate adjustment function the size of the output file can easily be managed so that the file fits the target media. (Please note that MPEG-2 encoding is only available for 30 days. If you require MPEG-2 encoding, please purchase TMPGEnc Plus 2.5)


2. Useful MPEG editing tools:

Cut & Merge (Divide one MPEG file into multiple files, or merge separate files into a contiguous file.) Multiplex (combine audio and video stream into one MPEG) & De-Mulitiplex (separate MPEG file into separate audio and video file.

Sampling rate converter
High quality sampling rate conversion



*1 We only offer updates as download and not as update CD etc.
*2 We only support uncompressed AVI and MS-DV Type2 format AVI. 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. ) This conversion is generally a quick process.
*3 The maximum number of files is 20

"...you can convert in interlaced or noninterlaced modes; change the aspect ratio and size; apply noise reduction; crop edges; and extract certain portions of a clip. TMPGEnc also lets you set the video quality and apply different filters. As long as you don't regularly need to encode video files in a codec other than MPEG, you'll find this one to be well worth considering."
Runs great on Intel Pentium 4 HT processors Created with CRIWARE
