Hi
Hope someone can help here with this error 'There is no usable writing drive installed'
I have a SATA Atapi iHAS124 B DVD Recorder that works fine with other DVD writing S/W.

It depends on your output format. Certain output formats have the option to convert the keyframes into chapters. MKV and MPEG for mobile device formats have this option in the "Other" tab. There might be other formats that have this option, but I haven't checked them all.
My original video file that I used for my most recent project is an AVI file with 3 audio tracks(Italian,English and German).
I got the authoring for it done so it was all ready to burn to a DVDR,but when I played it back,the only audio track is Italian.
What..??
I am going to have to do it all over now,but how can I be sure that this time,the English audio is included?
Hi. I'm trying to convert an avi to mpeg using mastering works but it won;t recognise the audio, which is a channel ac-3 stream. I presume the format simply isn't supported so i'm wondering is there a workaround or something i can do to change the audio so MW will recognise it. Thanks.
- started i new project with a clip
- then edited it
- then i used some filters
- then clicked on "timline" an choosed my clip for the new timeline
- now i'm in the clip-timeline-editing-mode
- then i added some layer with mosaics
- then i switched to 'format' and choosed my format
-> finally switched to 'encode' and 'start'
Problem: every layer with the mosaics and every change in the timeline-editing-mode were ignored
Is there is hidden 'apply to movie'-button or something.
> Also, is this a legit version of the software or a crack? In the past, there have been bugs and issues that only occur in cracked versions.
Ah, ok. This is a cracked version. I bought TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress and other Software from Pegasys in the past -- just wanted to know if it's worth it to buy or not.
Well I don't think a cracked version will give you an accurate view of the product. Try the trial version; I'm pretty sure you won't have the same issue.
Should work; I'm using a GTX 460.
The Cuda functions should help speed if you add a lot of filters to your video. You can also use it to encode H.264 but it may or may not be faster--depends on how fast your CPU is.
Is it possible to encode 1080i video in VC-1 elementary stream using TVMW5 ?
I understand selecting "Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile" produces VC-1 video (and allows for interlaced output), but the output container is always .wmv, with or without audio.
My authoring program (Sonic DVD it) expects .vc1 as (ES) as file format for VC-1 video (SMPTE VC-1 (elementary streams only): AP@L3 and AP@L2 ).
Will simply renaming the xxx.wmv file produced by TVWM5 to XXX.vc1 do the trick ?
Or is a true VC-1 elementary stream a different animal ?
BTW, I noticed that although Microsoft Expression encoder is installed on my computer, TVMW5 only uses the "old" VC-1 implementation, i.e. "WMV9 Advanced Profile".
There is a difference in the produced output:
With Microsoft Expression Encoder, MediaInfo reports:
Format : VC-1
Format profile : AP@L2
Codec ID : WVC1
Codec ID/Hint : Microsoft
Description of the codec : VC-1 - VC-1 Advanced Profile
and with TVMW5:
Format : VC-1
Format profile : AP@L2
Codec ID : WVC1
Codec ID/Hint : Microsoft
Description of the codec : Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile
But does that have an impact on the Blu-ray compliance of the produced video stream ?
Impossible with any sofware....You can put your vc1 elementary stream into mkv using graph edit firt with matroska muxer filter or new VLC video player can put it into ps stream using convert option and without any encoding, like direct stream. That's works very well.
Cheers.
It looks like TVMW5 is assuming that the input video uses the full RGB gamut (0-255), and hence, converts to "legal" video (RGB 16-235).
This is causing a problem (at least with some codecs) when the input video is already fully broadcast compliant and needs to be converted without affecting the color/luma values.
This problem occurs e.g. when using Avid's DNxHD codec in .mov containers as input file, to be converted to DVD-compliant MPEG2 files.
The solution would be, like in competitive products, to allow the user specify the color range of the input file (0-255 or 16-235) using a check box box or dropdown list at the "File Import / Clip Properties" page.
Having trouble with TAW-4 stalling at menu section of various video files when rendering files
from which to burn BR discs. It may stall right on the first page of the menu of the first video,
or accept that menu OK and then stall at a menu of a later file in the same set to be rendered.
And sometimes, it renders all the menus and video files just fine!
Just to go over my procedure, to see if you can find a bad setting: I open an MP4 file (captured
at 9Mb/s) in TAW-4, do not create a proxy file, accept all on the clip settings page. In the
Track Settings/Clip Linking, I Link the Clips (although choosing Do Not Link the Clips is of no
help). In Video tab, I choose "Re-encode all videos as below," use VBR (Smart rendering 1 pass
VBR; haven't tried CBR yet...), use 30000 max bit rate, 10000 Bitrate, and TAW-4 defaults to 9320
Min. bit rate. Leave Bitrate settings Picture quality at 90, and check the Always encode chapter
into I picture box. "Always encode chapter into I Picture" box
IS checked. In advanced settings: Motion search is Standard, "Outpute bitstream for editing
(closed GOP) box is not checked, Detect Scene Change box IS checked.
I then use the Edit feature to remove unwanted video before, during and after the show. I add
chapters at 5-minute intervals. I then go back to settings and add the title (something like
Creating Menus: I have not tried the "No Menu" option, but will. However, normally I choose "16:9
aspect ratio menu in high definition" and Create a Menu based on a template." I have tried several
templates, but usually try one like Standard 1 (HD). Menu composition: Top and track menu. Disc
insertion action: Display the top menu. Track playback end action: Display the top menu. In the
actual menu creation section, I don't adjust any of the Top menu or Track 1 menu settings. I click
on Page 1 of the Top Menu, in which the title I added earlier, to the Settings field, appears. If the title is too wide to fit, I double-click on it and move part of it to a second or third line.
The simulation always seems to look and work fine. When it's time to Output, I set the target size to Blu-ray media (25 GB) size, since I always keep the Output size below the 22867Gb maximum.
I have tried both the regular Start Output and Register to Batch modes many times, but that doesn't seem to make a difference, either. (Users regularly say the batch mode uses less CPU memory, so is more reliable, but I can't bank on that.)
Anyway, I would be very appreciative of any suggestions you can offer, to change my settings and have TAW-4 finish authoring my files, without it hanging up on the menu portions of certain files.
I solved my problem. I was trying to render .mp4 files, instead of M2TS or TS files. I also solved a problem with rendered files being out of audio and video synchronization. I was capturing video from one program at the same time I was rendering other files on TAW-4. This was causing the audio and video of captured files to be out of sync. When I stopped rendering and capturing at the same time, my captured files rendered just fine, with perfect sync.
