TMPGEnc, a quick question

[shorto]

Hello all!
Just a quick question does anybody know a way I can insert a watermark in TMPGEnc?

I use: TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress if you need any more information please let me know.

tnx in advance!

What type e.g. AVI, MPEG etc. is/are your source file(s) and what type is your output ?

You can add a line of text using AviSynth 'Subtitle' filter (internal), then open .avs script in TMPGEnc Xpress for encoding.

My Source is .avi (MPEG1) and my output is also .avi (XViD 2nd pass).

Alex_ander could you pleas be more specific I have no clue how to do this...

My Source is .avi (MPEG1) and my output is also .avi (XViD 2nd pass).

MPEG1 in an AVI container ? mmmmkay ... I think that can be done, but it's rare for sure.

I think you are an excellent candidate for my guide:

You can then configure virtualdub and xvid 2 pass directly afterwards.

If you have AviSynth installed, you can make a simple script that opens your file (first line) and puts your text (the second line) in the left lower angle:

AviSource("path/yourvideo.avi")
Subtitle("your copyright text", align=1)

If you save a text file with these lines (using your data) and give it .avs extension, you'll be able to open it in TMPGEnc Xpress.

Oh well, now that i ahve figure it out i have another problem.

I'm resizing my video from 352x288 to 640x480, the video comes out normal but the text comes out fuzzy and unreadable, how can i fix this?

I'm adding my files, please help.

My guess is you're resizing AFTER applying the text, so the text is 1. being resized also and 2. being compressed (a whole LOT?).

Add to the AVS script to include the resize in AVISynth instead of in TMPGEnc (it's better in AVISynth anyway). It'll probably encode faster, too (as AVISynth seems to be faster at resizing than TMPGEnc).

Now, I notice that you're going from 352x288 -> 640x480. 1st is common for PAL 1/4D1(non-square), 2nd is common to NTSC (squarepixel). Is there a change in the framerate also (that you're not telling us about)?
Honestly, it's probably best to not UPSIZE if you don't have to. Many players will do a better job of that, so you could work at ~ the rez you've started with. Tell us more about what you're trying to end up with...

You can add the line before 'subtitle':
LanczosResize(640,480)
