I have a non commercial Blu-ray I want to convert with TMPGE (home video from my brother). The disk plays fine as a Blu-ray but I can't get the Source Wizard to tease the disk apart like it would with the non commercial DVDs my brother used to send me.

Ideas?

You can use HD Streams Extractor (a gui on top of eac3to) to get the streams from the bluray, then use TMPGEnc for encoding.

Can TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress start with prefered filter enabled?
For exaple with Volume Adjustment filter enabled. It would be usefull becouse each time enable that filter is too long...

I found a useful option to apply a template filter, but normalization is not preserved after aplying a template.

I'd like you to delete my posts. I believe I have three of them, all under the user name Eddy.

I'd greatly appreciate it if you would do this for me.

I want to recode a video from MKV to AVI (Divx) the origin has two audio channels and two subtitles.
TMPGEnc 4.0 gives me no option to choose is it so? How I can do to record all channels?

I'm building a new computer system to convert .vob to mpeg-1 I currently use a intel 6core processor with nvidia video card can't remember the model with ssd drive. Does any one know what the best config is with tmpeg to speed things up faster.

Hello,

I have a registered version of TMPGenC 4.0 on this Win Vista 32 that used to work and now it refuse to initialize. At launch it passes the registration stage and then hang at the initialization stage. I did uninstall and reinstall many times with no sucess. Any ideas ?

Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I recently installed Windows XP 64 bit. I reloaded DVD author 3 and it worked fine. TMPEGENC 4.0 hangs on the license screen. If you put in a wrong license it immediatly tells you. Cannot get activated.

Any help appreciated.

Hi im using this great product on a windows 7 intel quad core with 4gb ram. Im converting MKV to WMV HD for playback of family videos on the xbox 360. However it gets past the first passthrough and then the program says it needs to close. What is going on can someone help me i hate waiting ages for it to just say error....

When creating a PAL 720x576 16:9 DVD from 1920x1080p25 source material, small black boxes (pillars) are shown on the left and right. Also the video is squeezed a bit. Using 704x576 solves the problem, but officially this anamorphic video is not supported for this resolution. There is a solution to use TMPGEnc Xpress to encode the video with certain settings, but IMHO it should also be possible to do this by only using AuthoringWorks. Can this be fixed in a small update (for example an option to choose how to encode the video in this case) Thanks in advance!

What is the aspect ratio in the Clip Properties screen? Adjusting this might solve the problem as sometimes the default setting is wrong.

1:1 (square pixels), but also tried Display 16:9, same result.

I've tried all other values, but this results in a squeezed picture and/or even larger bars / bars on top.

Input is AVCHD 1920x1080 25p (in a 50i container).
So I've manually changed it to 25p (it detects 50i) to prevent unneeded de-interlacing.

I can't replicate the pillarboxing. Is there any way you can post a sample clip of your input footage for testing?

I will post a sample clip somewhere this weekend...

Hello everyone!

"Pegasys Inc. announced today that it has formally signed an agreement with x264 LLC for the use of the x264 H.264/AVC encoder under a commercial license. The x264 encoder will be integrated into the next generation of Pegasys’ popular video conversion software, TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress, and will be the first commercial software granted a commercial license for this technology in Japan".

That's GREAT news, isn't it? :D

Thank you Pegasys! :)

P.S.: Now just add Dolby Digital (AC3) stream copy and Matroska (MKV) output as well -- and everything will be fine! ;)

Cheers!

Awesome stuff! Hopefully they can incorporate that into their next Authoring Works as well.

Is it possible to add a menu or chapter screen to a DVD when using the trial TMPGE 4xpress version?

You can't create DVDs with 4.0 XPress, only encode to DVD-compliant MPEG-2. You want TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 if you need to create menus.

Hi
Is it possible to insert subtitles in a DVD files (VOB and son on) withoutloosing the original menu?
Thanks in advance

I think the answer to yout question is a bit below:
http://bbs.pegasys-inc.com/bbs/list/lang/en/board/TAW4#topic63856

Hi, I recently use Authoring Works 4 and would like to open a projec I created with TMPGEnc DVD Author 3. In the Open project menu I can select to view only DVD Author 3's projects, but when I try to open one an error says "this file is not a project file generated by tmpgenc authoring works 4".

Is it possible to open a DVD Author 3 project with Authoring Works 4?

When you choose to open a tda3 project in Authoring Works 4, there should be a window that appears with a message stating "This file is a project created by TMPGEnc DVD Authro 2.0 or 3. etc...."

You can then choose to convert it to a Authoring Works 4 project.

Try some other tda3 projects and see what happens.

You are right, thank you.
I've been trying to open old projects, the problem is that the message to convert form a previous version doesn't appear always, I don't know the specific problem, but I have projects sabed on a 32bit Windows XP, 32bit Vista and 64bit Windows 7.
Don't worry about it, I don't need to open any of these projects at the moment, just wanted to post it.
