VideoReDo TVSuite & Professional - General Discussion Thread

I switched to TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 6 from VRD. Works great for my needs.

Nothing wrong with Smart Renderer 6, but Video Mastering Works 8 exports to other formats, frame rates, and resolutions, and it is the one that matches VRD with the same, or similar features, but if you don't need those other features then Smart Renderer 6 will be fine, and cheaper.

I have no idea if either of them handles TV broadcast/recorded files like VRD and SMC can.

I bought Video Mastering Works 8 too. Both are very, very stable programs.

They do. Both programs can open and export video formats that VRD cannot.

The big problem is I can't find anything nearly as good as videoredo for my purposes.

Try TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 6.

I bought it and very happy with it.

TMPGEnc are ripping people off by forcing them to buy both programs if they want all features that VRD has in just one program.

Smart Renderer 6 cannot export to other formats, or resize to other resolutions like Mastering Works and VRD can do.

This is correct, but this is due to VRD not being developed now for over 3.5 years because the VRD creator Dan Rosen passed away in late 2022.

That is why i keep saying that for most VRD users who only work with TV broadcast files, all they need is VRD.

The only reason why i refuse to buy TMPGEnc is because i would need to buy both Mastering Works 8 and Smart Renderer 6 to do what i need with my 4k HEVC camera recorded files, that is around US$200 and i would not even need all of the features in both.

VRD, which i paid US$60 for in 2013, and Smart Media Cutter which i just paid US$40 for is all i need right now heading into the future.

I am just curious, how much did you pay for VRD PRO?

Smart Renderer 6 CAN export to other formats. See attached image.

And if you change resolution you would not be able to use smart render feature, would you?

Diamant,

You want the "How to use the manual activation site" & also "Workaround to activation issue" links pinned at the top.

Thanks you a lot, this helped to solve my reg issue.

They're not formats, they're containers.
