Re: Making and Modifying RLVs

Well, I kept mucking around with this. Today I found that if I re-encode the x264 mp4 file using ffmpeg specifying that the code should be XVID (which was what the original avi was) then it works just fine, even with greater resolution. The video is improved but I think it can still be better, the s...

Re: Making and Modifying RLVs

Those videos are very early and so-so quality at best. They were fine for their time. Argus was letterbox format. Frankly I am surprised that reprocessing helps much. lol, well beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess! I was pleasantly surprised at how much better the images became. I mean, it'...

Re: Making and Modifying RLVs

There is some theoretical possibility that Garmin Tacx could take the position that this is a violation of its intellectual property rights. Given the obsolete status of TTS , this may be remote, but you should at least be aware. Also, I'm not sure which videos files you have reprocessed. Some of t...

Re: Making and Modifying RLVs

My personal opinion, which may or may not be correct, is it is a non-starter. If you had a working version of TTS1 or TTS2, which allowed older non-encrypted RLV's to be imported and created a new *.tts file, you might be able to do something. But I really do not know how much flexibility you would...

Re: Making and Modifying RLVs

The TTS control file is encrypted. Do you understand how the tts control file relates to the avi? I had assumed it might contain time-offsets and/or frame numbers in which case I imagined that there wouldn't be an issue. If it contains information about the resolution for example then presumably al...

Re: Windows 7 PC running TTS needs upgrading to Windows 10

Hi all, I have a Fortius and TTS software and about 30 RLVs installed. Just wondering what options I have as Windows 7 is now longer supported so I need to upgrade to Windows 10, but also don't want to lose what I have. Is it a case of just keeping the windows 7 machine as is and buying a new pc wi...

Re: Help on transfering Fortius TTS4.23 sw and all data/setting to new laptop

make sure you can see "hidden" folders. The lic files are located in a hidden map called Appdata\Tacx Is that correct? On Windows 10, my tts4.lic file is located in: C:\ProgramData\Tacx\TrainerSoftware\TTS4 This might be different on older versions of windows maybe? Possibly below the fol...

Re: Making and Modifying RLVs

I had what seemed like a brilliant idea the other day. I decided to try using modern video AI upscaling on the avi file of my favourite TACX RLV rides. These are quite old, even by TACX RLV standards, and while the video quality is not every good I enjoy the rides. I used the trial version of Topaz ...

Re: TTS4 License Server - It Works at Least For Now - But Not After March 1

I feel strongly that Garmin/TACX policy have not behaved properly towards their customers. My turbo trainers would have been so much junk if I had not had that backup and I would like to help other people who might find themslves in that same position by sharing the virtual machine image with them....

Re: TTS4 License Server - It Works at Least For Now - But Not After March 1

I have two Fortius trainers which my wife and I recently decided that we wanted to get back into using. I was very disappointed to find that TACX had removed my ability to install the TTS software. Being an IT professional :D I it turns out that I had an old backup of an old laptop that had TTS4 ins...
