is it possible to encode a multiple soundtracks video file?
i got a multiple soundtracks movie file and tried to encode it with both audio files but i couldn't fine away to do it.. can you help me with that please?

Hi!

Yes its not possible, It would be fine if its supported laters.
Until this, use MKV Merge for Muxing a 2. audiostream.

In Version 4 and earlier, when creating the DVD menu you could add a photo to the background of each page of the Menu when you created the DVD. I do not see that option in Ver 6. Is it there and I'm just not seeing it?

You can't do it in the menu wizard, but you can edit the background of any menu page in the menu editor after you've gone through the wizard.

Is there a way to let the application run a scenes detection and automatically create a keyframe for each scene?

Also is it possible to let the application scan the whole video for thumbnails and load all of them, so when I scroll through the video, I don't have to wait for the thumbnails to load.

Thanks.

Currently have the trial version of Authoring Works 6. Would like to create a BD. This should contain two movies with individual chapters. Film 1 = 3 chapters, movie 2 = 5 chapters. The menu should now look like that: when inserting the disc first a main menu is displayed where you select the desired title, then jump to the appropriate sub menu where the individual chapters or all chapters can be selected. After selecting a single and playing a chapter it should be jumped back to the corresponding chapter menu after its end to select a different chapter.
Having spent quite a few hours making such a menu, I am close to despair. Neither with one of the included, nor with a user menu it is possible.
Question, I'm just too stupid or really can not do that. With other authoring software that works, but they all have either bad encoders, are extremely slow to render, or very expensive.
I'm grateful for every tip.

This probably comes too late for you, but to have separate movies handled the way you want, you need to have each in its own track when you add sources. The first movie would go to Track 1, then create Track 2 and add the second movie to it. You then set the menu up with a title screen and then track screens for each movie.

I had the same problem initially, because like you, I'm used to the way other programs handle menus. This way makes sense to me and it allows flexibility my current software doesn't. I did create a disc this way with the trial version using 10 titles and 10 chapters each. An older Blu-Ray player had trouble with it, but it's a very early model. Another more recent model had no issues that I can see.

I don't think you're stupid. It just takes an adjustment of mindset, common when moving to different applications. Not always easy to do.

Hope this reaches you and that it helps.

I have to write all the keyframes number locations down manually. Is there a way to copy all keyframes to a notepad?

You can export the chapter/keyframe positions as a .keyframe file and just open it in a text editor. It's just a list of the frame numbers where a chapter/keyframe exists. Just hit ctrl + s when you're in the clip editor.

So there's no way to get a list of the keyframes ladled like this?


1:00
2:45
4:53
7:88
8:77
And so on

Because this is what it says when I load it into notepad
0
4823
7270
12516
15142
20101
25939
38988
41503
47885

Not through TAW6, I don't think. You can create a formula in excel to convert the framenumber into timecode, do a google search for "convert frame number to timecode" and you should be able to find some stuff.

thx for your help ill check it out :)

Hello.
Love the product. Thank you.
But I have a question: Is it possible to use a graphics file as a menu item highlight, instead of the frame, or underline, etc. it would be nice to use an animated gif as a highlight and select. anything from animated arrows to 2 underlines (if the selection is 2 lines of text on the background) or even an animated box, like a small theatre marquee.

again, thank you.

I am getting the same error in EVERY program from Pegasys, since I upgraded to Windows 10. What the hell is going on? Can't output anything from Smart Renderer, or Authoring Works, or Mastering Works.

Do you have the latest versions of the software? Is Windows up to date?

I haven't had any issues.

Yes. All up to date. Turned out I had to set another decoder for everything. Something is really messed up.

After editing out the commercials and the beginning to a show or movie it will no longer show up in the DVR interface because the metadata was not transferred over to the new file. They use a transport stream with .mpg extension and the metadata is in the first 12032 bytes of information on the file. Is there a way to get this information transfered to the new file?

Thank you for any help.

Video file * .ts. in HEVC format, MPEG-4 HE AAC audio, opens in the program without audio. Audio is there, but the program can not decode it. An upgrade of the program is required?

How comes there is no "progressive" mode available in BDMV (H.264/AVC) (PAL) output mode ? Only "interlaced" and "progressive (2:2 pulldown)" ????
The source video is 1080/25p MOV (DnxHD).

....and then of course, how do I encode 25p BDMV H264/AVC streams without unnecessary (destructive) image processing ?

Bluray 25fps PAL has no progressive flag: it's not allowed. but if you set the input source to progressive and encode it as interlaced it will only be flagged as interlaced, but encoded with full frames without quality loss

I've been using mastering works 6 for a long time but for some reason now it wont allow me to access

How does one install this? Under Win 10, even using "Run as Administrator," it says I don't have sufficient rights, and tells me to contact my sysop (I AM the sysop). It seems to be trying to install something to a Windows restricted directory on the boot drive; it doesn't matter where I tell it to install the program, it ignores that and terminates with the same crash.
Too bad; I use the old version of KARMA frequently, and would probably have paid for this one if it worked.
