I have been trying to convert a mkv to dvd format. it one stops everytime at 62%. I don't know why. it is a large file 6gb. I am usint authorworks 4 and the essentials codec pack for windows. any suggestions as to why this one freezes. thanks!

Is there any plans to support ATI Stream encoding in the future? ATI,s small converter works wonders but it,s too basic.

I would like to request the same. I have a Radeon HD 4850. ATI's Avivo Video Converter or GeForce 9500GT's (utilizing CUDA support) hardware based conversion is a lot faster than processor based encoding (with Q6600). I really hope the next revision of TMPGEnc 4.0 Express will include ATI Stream support.

/bump

ATI GPU stream support would be great!

hmmm i need ATI STREAM support in TMPEG4 too
pegasys develop in future or not ?

does TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 support .dts audio stream?

I would LOVE to know the answer to this question too..

Thank you to reply.

Unfortunately, no.

Are there any plans to add support for DTS-HD Master Audio or Dolby TrueHD high resolution audio codecs in the future? Even a transparent "same as source" audio copy from input to output would be nice.

I also would like to know if DTS audio will be supported any time soon.

Same here! I was dissapointed to find out the latest version of TVMW5 did not support it either and would love to know if there are plans to support it as I just purchased a new hjigh-def camcorder that records audio in DTS format. Thanks!

Hello all,

I grab movies off a streaming video site with WM Recorder. I then would like to convert these asf / wmv movies to mpeg using XPress.

The asf / wmv videos play fine with WMP or VLC but as soon as I open them with XPress (Source), and play them through the Cut / Edit menu video stands still for a long time and then starts playing, while the audio plays right away.

I need to add a 5000ms Audio gap correction for the files to play with audio in sync with the video. This happens with ALL movies I've captured. Why does this happen?

Any input would be appreciated.

I have been trying out TMPGEnc 4.0 Express and REALLY like the application. I really need it to support Type-1 (which is the newer type by the way) DV files. The only way I can transfer the full tape (1hr) as a single .AVI file is to choose type 1. If I try to capture/transfer type 2 as a single file I get no audio (Using WinDV). I tried EVERY program out there to convert from Type-1 to Type-2, but they all have the same problem; the audio comes out messed up (has a static hiss to the entire video). So, why doesn't TMPGEnc support Directshow so it can accept Type-1 DV files. VfW is the older format, and a LOT of other apps support Type-1 DV. I just cannot purchase TMPGEnc without this support. This is one of the primary roles I want to use the software for - To take my DV transfers, clip out parts of the video and encode it to h.264 to upload to Youtube, etc... Please help!

I am trying to import subtitles for my video clips of the tv show boston legal. When I import the sub only 5 min of subs will import leaving the rest of the show without subs. need help.

thanks

Look at your subtitle file at the point where they stop working. Is there anything irregular such as odd characters or html?
When subtitles stop working at a certain point, that usually means there is something that TDA3 doesn't like.

I recently upgraded from DVD Author 1.6, a practically prehistoric software by now. Unfortunately Authoring Works seems to ALWAYS re-encode my video, what's the deal here? In 1.6 All it did was a straight MPG-VOB No quality loss. And yes, my video meets DVD specs.

Is your Encoder mode set to "Automatic" in the track settings?
Are you changing the video from NTSC to PAL?
Are you changing the aspect ratio of the video (i.e. 4:3 to 16:9)?
Are you mixing 4:3 and 16:9 clips in the same track?
Any of these things can trigger full rendering.

Does the Smart Rendering icon (blue "SR") show up in the Source stage for your clips?

Which mobile Quadro GPUs are supported by TMPGEnc? My laptop has a Quadro FX360M with the latest nVidia drivers, and CUDA is greyed-out in preferences...

Do you have the latest version of 4.0 XPress? They're on version 4.7.1.284.

http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/te4xp.html

Do you have the latest CUDA driver? Might be different than the driver you have.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html

I have the latest TMPGEnc & the latest nVidia notebook drivers 185.85. I see from the link you provided that there are drivers with CUDA in the filename. Aren't the normal nVidia drivers supposed to included CUDA anyways? Why the different driver packages?

Even with the package suggested, CUDA is still greyed-out. Anyone from Pegasys who can comment on which mobile GPUs are supported and which not?

I am running Authoring Works 4.0, how do I add a MKV file to the file list.

I know I have to chnage the file type to ALL FILES. but i select my mkv video file and I get a message saying that I cant use this type of file.

Is there a resolve for this issue other than converting a MKV file to AVI ?

Thanks.

Authoring Works does not support MKV format. You have to convert to any of the formats supported...see here: http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/taw4_feature.html

Už se vám tohle někdy stalo?

00:01:05,162 --> 00:01:10,218
Ode dneška se na 999 na pohotovost nedovoláte.

I try many thinks, problem is at Czech diacriticals as is "áíéýžřčšě". Thanks for fix.

Does this look correct?

I just copied and pasted your subtitles into a text document and saved as a .srt file. Text encoded as UTF-8 without BOM. I use Notepad++. You can get it here:

Can I chage the aspect ratio of a finished DVD menu? I want to chage from 4:3 to 16:9, but I only find to do it if I make a new DVD menu. I haven't found to change it in the dvd menu properties.

Thanks.

I don't believe you can. I have found the menu creation process lacking in many respects including not being able to change things without having to start over.
