Without dedication, certain things can't be done.
The Dedicated Video File Management Software.
----------------------------------------------------
"TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2" is a dedicated application that can centrally manage browsing, searching, classification, comparison, and more of the many movie files saved on a user's computer. Recently, recording or content formats have largely migrated from pictures to movies because of the progression of technology such as the communications infrastructure or smart phones. Now, an over-abundance of video files can occupy a PC's hard drive, and a solution is needed to manage this continuously increasing amount of video files. That solution is TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2.
----------------------------------------------------
Completely Improved With New Features
----------------------------------------------------
In this new version, most of the interfaces have been improved based on the feedback from the previous version's users, and provides a multitude of new and improved functions such as digest movie playback via a simple mouseover, adding chapters using commercial candidates detection, double speed playback with audio, and more. In addition, this version supports H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC hardware encoding by using Intel Quick Sync Video, NVIDIA NVENC and AMD Media SDK(VCE) technologies. "Linking with TMPGEnc products", "Karma Level" and other brand-new functions help refine this version to be more convenient and enjoyable.

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.
Out of nowhere today, when I went to use TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5, a pop-up showed up, it never has in the past before.
It Says:
Could Not Access The Server, please make sure you are connected to the internet, proxy settings are correct and virus software isn't blocking it.
My computer is connected to the internet, I don't use any proxy settings and my virus software is not blocking it. No matter what I try this message keeps appearing and it's not letting me use the program.
I have made a BluRay with one menu, a play-all button and 15 chapters, in one video timeline.
(1) I rendered a ISO and after 2 hours rendering I discoverer one error in the menu text. Just one letter. I changed it and started output again. But it started to render the video again. So another wait for two hours. I understand it need to rebuild the menu, but why re-render the video?
So how to prevent this?
(2) When playing all, it works fine. But when playing a chapter it continues to play after the end of that chapter. The chapter is just a point i a much longer video. But i want it to stop at the end of the chosen chapter.
How do I do that?
I'm new with TMPGenc Autoring Works. I did search the web and the TMPEG help, but can't find the answer.
1) If the video is rendering, I'm assuming it's not compliant with the Blu-ray standard? If that is the case, you should go back to the Source stage and import your ISO and use that as your source video instead of the old clip. Since the ISO is blu-ray compliant, it shouldn't re-render it again, and all you'll have to do is re-render the menus.
2) It sounds like your chapters aren't actually chapters then. It sounds like you want them to be separate clips/tracks that can be played independently of each other.
If so, you should split the video into multiple clips at the chapter points. You can do that by going to the Clip Editor and turning each chapter point into a split point. You can then split the clip into multiple clips.
Play All from the top menu will still play all the clips one after the other, but choosing a track (previously your chapter) will now just play that track and then stop.
That's how I would do it, but you should use the Simulation stage to test how it works before output.
Hi IS it best to create (extract) short video files from the main video amnd add these Vs creating chapters from within the program ? I can create lossless extractions thanks
There is a limit dictated by the DVD and Blu-ray standards, so the maximum in TAW6 is the maximum for the standard, I believe. DVD can have more thumbnails than blu-ray if I remember correctly.
Hello - I am trying to import Netflix/Amazon video clips from a Roku-Ultra captured with a Hauppuage PVR2 into TAW5. The format is 1080i-DolbyD5.1. The clips seem to be ok and play with various software players but will not import into TAW5 for editing. Occasionally a clip will import in and edit ok, usually this is a clip of 15 minutes or less. The clips are always consistent in that they will always import in ok or they never will. The ones that do not import properly always act the same. They begin importing ok up to about 50%, then pause and quickly jump to 100%. The resulting imported video will be about 8 seconds or less. The import does not fail with an error just a very short series of frames up to 6 to 8 seconds with a few blank grey frames at the end. 1080i-stereo clips from HD television import and edit without issue. I would appreciate any ideas on what the problem might be.

Can you play it in Windows Media Player with no issues? If so, then you may only need to try a different file reader when you import the file.
To force opening the file with a certain file reader, go to the Source stage, click on the "Add file" button, and then when the file explorer window opens, click on the dropdown menu above the "Open" button at the bottom right corner of the window.
From this dropdown, scroll all the way to the bottom to see the "Force reader [xxxxx]" options.
If your file can play in Windows Media Player, you might want to try the Media Foundation file reader. If that doesn't work, try the DirectShow file reader.
Help needed....on the trial version...TMPGEnc 6 [ver 6.0.9.11]
When I insert a text title.[subtitle edit] ...It appears on the source and the simulation....
But when outputted to the hard drive..it is not there....?
When you are playing it from the hard drive, how are you playing it? If you are only playing the video file, you won't see the subtitles, since they are not encoded into the video. Subtitles are overlaid on top of the video, so you'll have to use DVD playing software and then activate the subtitle stream in order to see it.
Hi
I am saving the file as an MP4 on the hard drive....
--------------------------------
Message from Pegasys:
Dear Peter, thank you for your email.
After setting up the subtitles can you see them on Cut edit player?
Please try this:
- on Source stage > Track settings > Subtitle tag > choose the Subtitle stream number: and set the Default subtitle stream:
then check about it.
On the player check your output project, check if the subtitles are turned off, or check a setting to enable them and check.
Best regards
-------------------------------------
In the source/track preview ….Subtitles YES In the Cut Edit preview ……NO..
[No menu selected…..]
In the Simulation…YES
In the Output [when start output]…NO
The movie now on the hard drive…NO..
------------------------------------------
Source/Track/Settings…./Subtitle….
Subtitle stream number…: Automatic [1 stream[s]] Default Subtitle stream….Automatic [subtitles 1] You said “and set the Default subtitle stream:… [Is the above correct….are these the default settings?] You said…“On the player check your output project, check if the subtitles are turned off, or check a setting to enable them and check.”
I cannot see a check box for the subtitles ????...unless I go into the options button/preferences… Under MPEG settings/subtitle display settings… I assume I can change text colour settings ?..That does not work.? .The text subtitles stay white… Hope you can help me further…
-------------------------------
In my last mail regarding subtitles....not appearing in the output section
So I insert a title.....which is white text...
In the Options/MPGE settings...../Subtitle display...I change the font colour to green and tick the replace Font colour...
But the text stays white...
Can you explain what I doing wrong ? or is this a software problem ?
Hi everybody.
I am trying to make a DVD with TMPGenc but I don't understand how to fix this problem:
After my DVD is done and I use a DVD player, if I click on the "MAIN MENU'" or "ROOT MENU'" of the *control panel of the player*, I am redirected to THE LAST TRACK MENU' that I opened. Not to the main or root menu'. ;((
Why? I tried several players but the result is always the same.
Hello,
I have a 1280X720 video that I want to change as follow : crop 16 pixels at the top and add 16 pixels of black at the bottom. I can't do that only with the 'crop' filter, because the mask option can only be added on the portion that is being cropped.
Basically, for those familiar with Avisynth, I want to do something like this :
Crop (0,16,0,0)
Addborders (0,0,0,16)
So basically, you're just moving the entire video up 16 pixels?
If so, you can do it in Timeline mode.
Once in timeline editing mode, select your clip and then in the properties tab on the right side of the screen, type in -16 in the "top" field. This will move the video up, cutting off 16 pixels from the top and showing a black background at the bottom.
Hi all, I am a TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6 user and I would like to make a DVD.
Everything is fine apart the film subtitles that always look with a jagged border. I tried to change many subs options and fonts but the poor subs graphic quality is still there.
Any advise about how to improve the subs appearance?
If you are lucky, it might be a result of your media player not decoding the video properly. In this case you can try another media player.
If the subtitles are "hard-coded", meaning you can't disable them in TAW, you don't have much choice. They are now part of the actual video stream. Subtitles on DVDs are image files and can't be edited into another format directly. Possibly re-rendering it as a non-interlaced (progressive) stream might help.
If you find that TAW will let you suppress the subtitle track, then you have more choices. You can extract the subtitles as a PGS file and perform OCR on the file, with something like Subtitle Edit. However, your results will always have to be checked and corrected, usually based on the font of the original subtitle. This can be an onerous process.
Or you can search for SRT subtitles on one of the many subtitle sites on the web. Download the appropriate language file, then add it into your project using TAW. While I use this when I can, be aware that the accuracy of these can vary and, obviously, you are out of luck if you can't find subtitles for your particular video.
If you can't disable the subtitle, I don't think any procedure will help. Maybe someone else has a solution.
I was wondering if anyone can explain exactly what size adjustment does in terms of actual video settings? Is there a place I can look to see what the algo decided? I have a number of smaller ( 350M, H.263) files that I want to write to blu-ray, and their average bit rate is only around 2K. Some of then contain slide show stills and require an even smaller rate to encode.. . I would like to preserve what quality is there, and H.264 should be able to do that at or near that same bitrate (Right?) , but the default settings want to make them into full bitrate pretty Blu-ray files.
I understand I can adjust the encoding bit rates manually, but I was wondering if there is a way to compare what size adjustment does with the manual settings? IS one going to have a better result than the other? IF so, why?
I'm not quite sure what you are mean by "size adjustment". The source "size" in megabytes has little to do with the quality of the video. If you mean resolution (pixels), then all blu-rays are 1920x1080. That doesn't mean they will fill the screen on your TV or other HD monitor, as there are different aspect ratios for different content.
It's important to understand that bitrate is just one of the myriad parameters involved in rendering a video. "Full bitrate" has no meaning. Any re-rendering will degrade the original source, although it may be impercetible. Rendering is just as much art as science, but TAW does a fair job with most source material.
Why don't you just make a sample blu-ray and see the results? If you see problems, then you can post specific questions.
