When loading a Blu-ray from the harddrive (BDMV) I get the following error:

The selected disc contains titles with audio that cannot be decoded. Sinds audio that can not be decoded does not display in the selector, some titles may not have a selectable audio.

The audio problem is with te main movie.

I bet it has DTS Audio? TMPGEnc only supports dolby digital..so you need to recode audio to dolby.

Dunno why TMPGEnc doesennt have passtru for all those things..audio or video

How do I recode to Dolby Digital?

you can use eac3to

Maybe there is a work around for AW5: Haali Media Splitter and latest version of FFDSHOW, who i use now due to a decoding problem i had with some .ts files.
Download them and install, do NOT change any settings, just install with pre-set settings.
Haali Media Splitter and FFDSHOW can be located on videohelp.com

Suggested by tkrave to me:
Options-->Preferences-->Input/output format list-->File input plug-in
Here i removed every marker, EXEPT for the one at DirectShow file reader.

I have just given an MKV file i have with standard DTS a try and found out that i was actually able to open the file and also the DTS audio within with out problems. AW5 can how ever not encode with DTS audio only Dolby Digital, the DTS will be converted to Dolby Digital 5.1

Note: Blu-ray's with DTS does not come with standard DTS, they have DTS-HD Master.
But you can give it a try, since i was able to open an MKV with standard DTS.

I also have the problem, that DVB recordings (h264 / ts) doesn't use SmartRendering. For deeper details: recordings are done by using KNC-One DVB-C card, as software for recording come DVB-viewer (www.dvbviewer.com). The recordes file is transport stream (ts) conform to h264 standard.

Each recorded file will be full encoded. I hope for fix of this problem. In this condition it is unuseable for me - and sure - for other's too.

If there a way to force SmartRendering?

Thx for help and hope for you to become another satisfied customer.

What are the actual characteristics of the video file? Use MediaInfo and post the info here.

there is an issue smart rendering h264/avc/mp4.

I tested the situation creating a blu ray with an h264 video only file with no audio. the file outputed had a much different size and the bit rates did not match.

I am still using Authoringworks 4 (the latest version). The disk writer recognizes my BD ROM and my BD writer properly. When I am authoring a disk, howeveer, the output stage only recognizes my BD ROM as a writer and does not recognize my BD writer at all. How do I correct this?
Thank, gordoncanda

Please disregard. I was mixed up, not the program!

Anyone know whether TAW5 will successfully open TAW4 projects? Can't test this in TAW5 trial.

Yes, it will. So far, I haven't noticed any problems.

I have tried many different fonts/sizes for Subtitles in TAW4 but no matter which, they all come out on final DVD with jaggy edges. I have white letters with black outline at 5%. Varying font size does not seem to help. I have also turned the "higher bitrate for subtitles" setting to ON, with no help. Any suggestions what combo is best and whether this is normal?

I don't think it can be helped. DVD subtitles aren't anti-aliased, and the lower resolution of DVD (versus Blu-ray) makes the pixels/jagged-edges more apparent. I've never seen smooth DVD subtitles on any commercial DVD so I think it's normal and just a limitation of the format.

Does anyone have same problems like me.
I have encoded a video using Authoring works 4,but when i playd the dvd it was red video?
I have looked in other forums but no resolution.
I am using 2 pass ,and K-lite codec.
Thanks

I found out that Installing TMPGenc on Windows x64 is the problem.
This program is not only incompatible with x64 but it makes bad quality videos.

No problen here on Win 7/64.

It is only compatible with 64-bit Win 7 systems. Vista/XP are not supported.

cannot add mp3 music to DVD menu background.
i get error:
Loading error occurred at address 0075AC2B of module 'TMPGEncAuthoringWorks5.exe' with 00000310

this often happens when using variable bitrate mp3

try a constant bitrate mp3 or wav or ac3

this mp3 file is constant bite rate (CBR) and it works in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 !

hmmm any answer ???

No problems here; I can load a mp3 as the bgm without any problem.
Have you updated to the latest version?

Have you tried contacting support?

Hello,
I would like to ask ,i am encoding a video(avi Source),but the outcome video is more redish!
Why is like that.
Also is it better using full encode 2 pass?Or 1 pass is enough?
Thanks
I am using k-lite codecs pack.

Can I edit the metadata of a MP4 file (encoded with TVMW5) ?
If not with TVMW5 built-in tools, what other (free) tool do you recommend ?
I have incorrect metadata in some large MP4 files, and would like to avoid re-encoding them...

Just found what I need: Windows 7: file properties / details / title.....
:-)

Request the ability to produce both a DVD and a BD from the same Project including custom menus.

Oh yes, that would be a very useful feature. Not all of my "customers" are using BD, so it would be great to create BD and DVD from the same project.

Thanks.

In TAW5 there is a new "Disc setting" button (on the Source Screen) that opens the option to set "character code".

I suggest there should be a "set default" option there.

When I use Swedish standard characters (like å ä ö) in the track title the simulation preview says "Invalid Track name". Same thing with non english characters in chapter names.

When I change the "character code" setting in the "Disc settings" window to the "Central Europe" option, the Swedish characters work fine.

So an option to change the character code default would obviously be an improvement for the community of international users.

Now we have to set it manually for each project.

I hope for a fix in the next update.

When importing Blu-ray to Authoring works 5, Subtitles are messed up.
