When muxing an AVC video stream with an AAC audio stream into an MPEG TS, the video rate selection only offers VBR, not CBR. Any reason why? Thanks.

So, this new program why can open .TAW5 project? I can't believe I have to start again from the beginning with a finished project with taw5.

it's no compatible with true hd audio, i hope an update
which includes both, and maybe more customizable, such as the DVD
that you can put IMG and side by:
opening
part A
part B
ending
preview

Hello,

I'd like to ask if you could please add the possibility to create 10-bit encodes with the x264 encoder. 10-bit encodes can help to save space and also to reduce banding compared to regular 8-bit x264 encodes. This is especially important when encoding animes.

I have 2 personal computers. Bad: 1 4-core CPU Core I7, 64G RAM. Not bad: 4 32-core CPU Xeon, 1T RAM. Creating a different duration of BD of only 2 times. What's the matter ? This Windows or TMPGEnc ?

Seeking advice on how to use TMPGEnc VMW5 to change tint of 45 min MKV video clips from a cold blue tint to a warmer more yellow tint and possibly make it a bit sharper while keeping a similar small file size (250 MB or slightly larger)

The video clips are 45 min MKV approx 250 MB.
I am not strong on video formats but Freemake indicates that the specs of the clips are:

H264 720x576 16x9 365 kbps 25 fps Sound AAC 48 kHz 365 kbps Stereo
H264 720x404 16x9 369 kbps 25 fps Sound AAC 48 kHz 369 kbps Stereo

Appreciate steps to do this with TMPGEnc VMW5.
The clips load OK into TMPGEnc but I ahve no idea what to do and how to control output file size.

Thank you.

For changing the tint, you will probably need to use a color correction filter on your video. Go to the Edit stage and double-click your clip to open the editing window. Go to the Filter tab and click on the color correction filter, then adjust the color until it is suitable to your tastes.

As for output, size will depend on the format and bitrate among other things. I suggest using the same format as the source file, H.264, and you can probably use the same bitrates as well.

Thanks tk for these tips.
Works well.

Another question:
How do I queue and process a number of video clips and edit them with the same color correction settings without joining them together?

Thanks again.

You can save your filter settings as a template, then apply them to other clips.

You can also set a filter template as your default filter settings, so that when you start a new project, any clips added will have that filter setting applied automatically. You can change the default filter template in the preferences.

Thanks for tips tk.
Can you give the keystroke steps to save a template of a file colour edit and how to queue and automatically progressively process a number of similar files applying the saved template. What is the batch tab and how do you use it?

>Thanks for tips tk.

- In the Filter tab of the cut editing window, set up your filter settings as you want.
- Click on "Save the template" (or Alt + S) to save your filter settings as a filter template file.
- After saving the file, leave the cut editing window by clicking the "OK" button. Remember where you saved your file!
- The best way to apply a filter template to multiple files is to set it as the default filter setting. Do this by going to Options-->Preferences-->Clip editing-->Clip default settings. Under "Default filter template," select your filter template file and click "OK" to exit the preferences.
- Now start a new project (in Normal Mode) and add all of the video clips you'd like to apply the filters to. Once your clips are added, the filters are applied automatically thanks to the default filter settings you just set.
- In the Format stage, for "File output mode", select "Output each clip as a separate file".
- Go the Encode stage and click on the "Encode" button to output the clips to the selected folder.

You can also do this in Timeline mode, just put each clip on a separate layer and output each layer separately.
To output a single layer, click on the "S" button for the layer you want to output. This makes it so all other layers are invisible.
Then select your format and go to the Encode stage and use the "Add Batch" button to use the Batch Tool instead of the "Export" button to save time.

The Batch Tool allows you to add multiple outputs to the batch list and then output them one after the other. This way, you don't have to wait around for an output to finish before outputting another file; it just goes to the next one automatically.

I'm trying out the trial of TMPEnc AW5 and i was wondering if it's possible to move the background image after scaling it?
Also when i check the aspect ratio box, scaling is limited to the AR of the image and does not fit the AR of the menu.
I've also noticed that after editing the background and clicking 'OK', the image resolution is very low creating a very pixelated image. Is this only apparent on the preview or will it look like that after the render?
Many thanks!

You cannot move the background image, unfortunately. It would be nice to be able to move it and also move it beyond the boundaries of menu.
However, you CAN add a "picture menu item" and you can scale and move that around freely, and it can be moved to the "back" of the page thus acting as the background image. Unfortunately, this also cannot be moved beyond the bounds of the menu page.

The aspect ratio checkbox is meant to do exactly what you describe; keep the aspect ratio of the background image.
For best results, create (or crop) your image to the aspect ratio of the menu.

What is the original resolution of the source image? If it is pixelated, it may be a lower resolution than your menu.

My professional opinion: any video format becomes popular only after the standard Windows Media Pleer supported this format. Question: do you know whether this support and when? (I am buy Creator only after fulfillment of this condition)

I think the same way bro, hopefully someday but who knows?
cheers

I am importing files from my HD camcorder. I am not at home right now, so I have no exact details. I believe they are MP4 files? I bring them directly into Authoring Works, create an NTSC DVD project, I don't mess with any settings, just create the titles and a menu. The output DVD (dual-layer) when played on my PS3 (upscaling) on my HD TV, looks like the framerate is low. I wouldn't call it choppy, it just looks like it is running at a very steady, but LOW framerate. I have made multiple DVDs of home movies, and they all look the same. Original, store bought DVD movies look great. I even have a couple movie DVDs that I had ripped and compressed (not with Authoring Works), and they all look fine. So I figure it is an issue converting the video from the HD camcorder format to the DVD format. Anybody else have these issues, or know how to fix them? Do I need to convert to SD first using another process or program? Thank you!

What format is the video (frame rate and interlaced or progressive)? MP4 can be any of several different formats.

What camcorder did you use to record the video?

Can't return in Menu after playing last track. Again playback first track

hi,
on Global menu settings > General tag > Track playback end action >
check if you choose "Display Track menu" or "Display Top menu" then check at the Simulation stage.
cheers

Just a question. Moving up from XP to Win7, my old DVD Author 1.6 isn't working much any more (been a champ for years), so I'm looking at TAW 4. Took a couple of my old .tda projects to a friend's house to try his copy, and his TAW 4 wouldn't open them ("this isn't a TAW 4 project" or the like).

I've got a ton of templates that I use for DVD authoring, and given TAW's weird UI I'd be hesitant about having to re-create them all. Is there any way to persuade TAW 4 to open my original 1.6 .tda files?

Thanks!

Davey

TAW4 isn't sold anymore, so you won't be able to buy it, even if there was a workaround.

The current version, TAW5, can only open project files from TAW5, TAW4, and TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.

I think I could help you out here. You need an older version of TMPG DVD Authoring. Email me and I will try to help you out. johnxxiii@centrum.cz

I recently updated from version 3 to version 5. Now everytime I load the program and try to do anything it crashes. Running windows 7 - latest everything.

Do you have both installed at the same time? Try uninstalling everything and reinstall the latest version (release a few days ago), otherwise you should contact support directly for the crashes.

Dear community,

I have a problem with content in h.264 (x264, mp4) via HLS on IPads (and IPhones) with IOS 7 and 8. The first 10-15 seconds of the video are freezed, but it seems on the first frame of the second TS package. The sound plays perfectly.
For the HLS segmenting, a wowza server is used.

So I changed every possible setting in TMPGenc 5 (x264), I tried to be as close to Apples requirements as possible. I tried the built - in - Presets of TMPGenc but with no success either.

What could be ruled out are errors with wowza, as h264 files from other encoders are working fine.

Intel SDK and CUDA produce random successful files, with no logical pattern - but they are no option due to quality issues. We use MPEG2 and M2TS as source files.

What we analyzed is:

- x264 from TMPGenc produces h264 files with a slightly different structure (SPS+PPS+IDR) than other encoders.
- x264 from TMPGenc exceeds the VBV buffer all the time


Do you also have encountered such a problem? Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Best,

CB

Try to correct the problem with "TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 4",
