Features At-A-Glance:
  • Encodes AVI file into MPEG-1/2 format
  • Wizard mode makes it easy to encode with just a few clicks
  • Create MPEG for DVD-Video, SVCD, or 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.


2. New 2passVBR encoding engine

TMPGEnc Plus uses a new and improved 2passVBR encoding algorithm. This new 2passVBR analyzes the video during the first pass and does the actual encoding during the second pass. Using this method ensures high quality even when using a low bitrate. Furthermore, it is possible to specify the output file size and the bitrate will be adjusted automatically.


3. Create MPEG for DVD-Video, SVCD, or VCD easily

The project wizard makes it easy to create MPEG files corresponding to DVD-Video, SVCD, and VCD standard.


4. 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.

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."

"I cannot recommend this encoder highly enough, it's simple enough for someone with little computer experience to use, and yet adaptable enough for the more advanced user. I get high quality output that is ready for me to use with my DVD authoring program (which just happens to be the TMPGEnc one), and am always very pleased with the results. So whether you download off the internet (naughty, naughty), or just wish to create high quality video from your camcorder, this is the program to get. And with the 14-30 day free trial if it isn't right for you then it hasn't cost you anything."
