I'm having trouble with the authored disc playback. the MPEGS are all fine when you play them on a PC and the authoring process works and a disc is produced, but on playback there is digital breakup of the image just near the end of each chapter, This has not always happenned always but is happenning all the time recently. the whole image pixelates right at the end. Has anyone experienced this and does upgrading to version 3 solved this for anyone?

I am unable to encode avi to DVD with your product and still maintain lip sync. please advise .

I've just started using DVD Author 3 I have created a project with page 1 welcome screen, page 2, 6 chapters for 6 clips.
1. How do you get only one clip to play
2. How to at the end of the clip to return to page 2 (it currently goes back to page 1).
Thanks

I just paid $89.95 for the retail version of DVD Author 3. First I had to BUY the software on line and then a page opened with the serial #. Then I had to copy & paste that into their webpage so I could download the software. Then I installed it and they said to restart my computer, which I did. But, then when I opened the program, they again asked for the serial #, but once I restarted my computer, that page of course dissappeared. I checked my email, but they never sent the serial # there. Now I'm out $89.95 and they are impossible to reach. What do I do?

SERIAL FOR TMPG ENCODE DVD 3

Hi,

My wife's PC died and I'll be giving her my current PC with DVD Author 2.0 on it. I want to uninstall it off this PC and install it on my new PC. Is this OK or will I have any issues/problems with licensing?

Thanks!

I am trying to brighten up a rather dark avi file that I want to burn to a dvd, make a movie of it.

Instead of just brightening it in VirtualDub and then putting the result into Nero I've been told I'll get better results by frameserving it to tmpg and burning the result with imgburn.

Fair enough.

I set up Virtualdub load the file, set the filter for brightness and start the frameserver.

It creates a vdr file and that's what I'm supposed to point tmpg to. But it doesn't recognise the type of file.

So I find I should install a plugin and I downloaded and tried to follow the instructions for an avs plugin: VFAPI plugin for TMPGEnc/AviUtl
Here they are:
How to install:
1. put m2v.vfp and m2vconf.exe into the same folder.
2. execute m2vconf.exe
3. select options
4. push OK button

Well that didn't seem to do any good so I put them in same directory as tmpgplus but it still didn't do any good.

Can anyone help me out, show me where I've gone wrong?

regards,

ab :)

Can TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX® Authoring run with VISTA ULTIMATE 64 BIT ???
Thanks for your help !

I always thought that Scrubs is a great TV show, not only for the great acting and the funny scripts, but also for showing what working in a hospital is really like. Every doctor will say that "life is not like ER", and scrubs didn't take the whole heroic position and the action-drama scenes, that frankly, is much less common in hospitals than an old man with diarrhea, reflux, colitis or other not so very "photographic" diseases.

How can I move a chapter button to the next menu page. I have 6 chapters on my 2nd menu page, but they are lengthy titles and don't fit. The 3rd menu page (which is the last menu page) has only 4 chapters, so I want to move the last chapter button on page 2 to page 3.

When I select my 2nd menu page, the "Next Page" button is highlighted.
I want the first chapter on that page to be highlighted. How do i change that?

Hi. I have been using TDA 1.6 for a year or so now and am generally very happy with it.

However I have just started to try making my own buttons, and am having no success in achieving transparency. I do not have PhotoShop but use PaintShop Pro 8 which has full layer facilities. It also allows files to be saved as '.PSD'. So I created a single raster layer button, which shows transparency correctly in PSP8 (and also in The GIMP). But in TDA, when I replace the Play All button with my PSD, it is *not* transparent. It appears inside a solid white rectangle.

I cannot understand the instructions in TDA Help, which anyway are written for PhotoShop. Can anyone either explain how to do this from PaintShop Pro, or better still send me an example PSD file so that I can examine it carefully to see what is 'special' that lets it appear in TDA as transparent.

Hi

I'm trying to create my first DVD-Menu :)
I tried to use an template but I'm having the following problems with it:

1. How can I remove menu items that I don't want? When I right-click on the item "Delete a Menu item" is disabled? Why?
screenshot:

2. Is it possible to create my own Menu-Templates without using the given templates? How?

3. I got one movie-track and I'd like to add chapters to a submenu, how can i do this?

Thanks for any help!!! :)

I'm new here (just posted my first message), but from your screenshot that doesn't look anything like TDA 1.6 (and presumably 1.5 was similar).

You can't delete that, its a necessary button to link to your video without it, the menu won't know where your movie chapters are.

This software doesnt freely let you modify everything, especially since DVD menu standards aren't flexible. It will take some learning but you'll eventually get it, not very hard to use. If you want to change how your button looks then go in menu setting and import your own picture instead of deleting that button.

Sorry to be a nuisance but what do I need to do to install DVD Author 3 upgrade over DVD 2.0?

Do I need to uninstall the 2.0 or just go ahead and install 3 over the top?

Many thanks.

DVD Author 3 is considered a separate program so it will not overwrite your old DVD author 2. You can pretty much do whatever you want with DVD Author 2 and it will not affect 3 and vice versa. Could uninstall if you dont use it anymore but either way it wont affect DVD author 3.
