Reducing Errors with Preprocessing in TMPGEnc Smart Renderer

I now process my video files (dvd level files Mpgs,TS,MP4s) In “TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 5” before I put them in Topaz AI.

The “Smart” editor does not recode anything unless there is an error.

I notice the the “video” light blink for a second sometimes.
But it is the audio light that blinks much more often.

My Topaz stopping errors use to be annoying but now they only happen rarely.
Thank goodness!
