Gardena, CA – TMPG, Inc. (www.tmpg-inc.com), the company that makes digital video easy, is introducing the latest version of its advanced, high-quality video encoding software: TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress.

“TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress gives video aficionados the power to take virtually any video file and encode it to any number of today’s most popular file formats,” stated Kimi Matsuki, TMPG CEO. “The powerful software upgrade also includes an array of features from frame-level cut-editing tools to advanced multiple video filtering and effects. 4.0 XPress encoding also provides mobile support for PSPs(TM), iPods(R), and PDAs for on-the-go video viewing.”

Some of today’s popular file formats that TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress accepts: DivX 6 AVI, HDV camcorder, QuickTime (MOV), MPEG 1/2/4 and 4-ISO, H.264, DVD-Video, XDVD, DVD-VR, and Windows Media (WMV/WMV-HD/WMA). It also has input/output compatibility with Dolby Digital® sound, Windows Media, MP3, and a wide variety of other audio programs as well as 19 powerful audio and video filters.

Among its new features is the ability to automatically import multiple files. A video generator allows you to include text into the video, while a subtitle editor provides numerous options and settings for your text. Additionally, TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress comes with a histogram with narrow and full-range display options, and a simple vector scope for easy color control. A color correction filter easily corrects color shifting of YUV components.

The TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress’s special frame-capture function allows users to create a slideshow either using on-file pictures or by utilizing separate individual video frames. To provide more attention- getting power, an audio track, along with a wide variety of transitions, may be added to the slideshow. High-speed thumbnail viewing and scrolling allows users to rapidly search video footage looking for specific scenes to be edited.

Other new features include a split clip function, undo/redo capability, key frames for clip editing, and drag-and-drop capabilities, as well as a batch encode tool and MPEG tools.
