I’ve been spending more time betting on bookmaker sports lately than anything else in my life. Most of the time I prefer just placing bets because I’m more interested in the prize than I am with the sport so I don’t know names of the players but I know which team is going to win. https://gamble.jp/worldbaseballclassic2023/
I'm very new to using Authoring Works 6 - I do like it, but it's taking me a while to get my head round it.
Please can someone help me with a simple request:
I'm trying to make a project that has 2 Tracks with just 1 Main Menu that you can simply Play Track 1 or Track 2. I don't need chapter selection (even though there will be chapters on the tracks).
How do I do this?
Secondly, and it's linked to the above - I can easily add text to a menu, but how do I turn that text into a button? and how do I link that new button to a Track?
Creating menues are confusing in Authoring Works, but once done one can save it as a template and be done and re-use it. There is no way to make buttons from written text, but there is a way to remove all fancy buttons and "replace" them with text that acts like a button. The name of that text is initially taken from the name of the Track but can be changed after the fact. But you need to create a new menu to replace them...
Here is a how-to list that should work. Mind you that the current menu will be lost.
- Start with clicking on Launch Menu Wizard.
- Then click on Create Custom Menu by Choosing Layout and Items.
- Duplicate this: http://privat.bahnhof.se/wb792290/menu-wizard.jpg
- Click on Next
- For Menu Structure in the next dialog, choose Top Menu Only
- Click on Next
- Set Disc Insertion Action and Track Playhead End Action to Display Top Menu
- Click on Finish
When done, click on the Blu-ray Global Menu Settings button top left and go to the Track/Chapter Display tab and uncheck everything and click OK. If you have audio/text buttons in the menu and want them gone, go back to the Blu-ray Global Menu Settings button and go to the Item Display tab and uncheck the items you want to go away.
This creates one (1) menu and if you have two tracks you will only see two text-buttons and nothing else. To change background, right click in the menu and choose Background and Audio Settings and click on Browse to choose a file.
If you are satisfied, click the Edit Menu button down in the middle and Save Current Menu as New Template and give it a name.
Menu creation and the lack of mixing both PAL and NTSC on the same Blu-ray disc are the biggest shortcomings in Authoring Works. Mixing both PAL and NTSC on the same Blu-ray disc is allowed by the Blu-ray specifications.
Roger, thank you so very much for taking the time to reply and to solve my issue.
I've been able to do this with your generous help, without it, I would never have known how to do this.
My Speed control filter is not working. I cannot get the "enable" box to permit me to turn the filter on. I have used Mastering Works 5 for years, and the speed control has never been a problem.
I was wondering what the best settings would be for Encoding.
I have a Laptop with both Nvidia GPU and Intel-GPU (together with the CPU).
Is there a way to get GPU rendering activated? In the settings there is an option to activate Nvidia CUDA, which I did. Furthermore I see decoding option for GPU and activated it. However under the tab Encoding it gives me the option "Intel Media SDK Hardware priority", which I did not use but left at "standard".
Now when I encode a blu-ray I see my GPU is not working, only my CPU at 100%. Are my settings good as they are or is it better to activate the Intel encoding? Any suggestions for improvement?
The software works as is, but in comparison to another software that I tried (where the GPU does most of the work) it is alot slower. Therefore I was wondering if I am overlooking some option here?
Some Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance ;)
First open up the NVIDIA Control Pannel
There go to Adjust desktop color settings and choose to use NVIDIA settings and click on Apply.
Then when wanting to use CUDA in Authoring Works, you also have to remember clicking the "Correct the performance optimization at next launch"
After then having clicked the OK button, it will perform the optimization.
When its then done, close Authoring Works completely and then start it up again.
Now CUDA should be working, well at least it does at my place, but mine also a desktop computer with only one GPU.

I reinstalled my PC and the Pegasys Softeare, now when i try to open TMPGenc Authoring Works 6.0.14.16, i get this message: Failed to Initialize the VMESys.dll

Hello, everyone. I am creating a DVD with the following:
Friday
Video 1
Video 2
Saturday
Video 1
Video 2
Sunday
Video 1
Video 2
Each video is set to 'Back to Menu' after it plays. I can add a 'Play All' button and it will play them all. But, I'd like to be able to add a button to play both Friday, Saturday, or Sunday videos, and then come back to the menu. Any suggestions are appreciated. All videos are on the same track.
I don't think this is possible in this software. If they are separate video files you can change the end action of each one in 'Bluray global menu settings'. Under the General tab, you'll see 'track playback end action'.
This IS possible using DVDA software - you can assign those things to any chapter point. But that's a whole new learning curve. :-(
