Capture a christmas movie in AVCHD. When editing a comercial I find the audio is missing but the audio was there before i took out the commercial. I tried doing some gap setting changes to know avaial. Any idea on what i can do.
when checking the video file exported, under properties i find that a film input as PAL is output as NTSC with a 25fps(when checking the properties information) from a technical standpoint, this is not possible. PAl is 25fps and NTSC is 24fps or 30fps (rounding up, of course). we don't change anything regarding the file that has been input except for the output resolution, could this be the 'problem' but even if we don't change this the video file is output as NTSC.
TMPGEnc has a template for MP4 with the x264 codec. I use this template.
Basically I import a PAL film. I select this template and adjust the bitrate, audio settings and select pixel aspect ratio and adjust B-frames to my preferences. All of which have nothing to do with NTSC.
The film is imported as 720X576 25fps. When I import the file the properties are 100% correct. Then I encode the file. When I look at the media info in VLC it says the file is 25fps NTSC.
I have tried emailing customer service. The person suggested I download the update from October. But it has the same problem.
When I select the MPG preset they provide and then select 'MP4' and go into the advance settings and select 'PAL' then I don't have this problem.
But with the MP4 preset there is no tab for 'advance setting.' And I only figured out this run-around myself. But I've already encoded a film using the MP4 preset and I would hate to have to re-encode it.
Yes I've just found the same as you about not exporting in pal mpeg-4 under the 720p(1280x720) at 25 frames.I need Pal for moving between different editing programs with a choice of either Avi or Mpeg-4.Its not to do with authoring dvds or blu-rays until the final renderings are done.I have found that going to the tmpgenc japan site and turning on translate .did resolve my last issues with program errors with the executable file.I'll get back if theirs an answer on this one.Kev
sir i am using your product tmpgenc authoring works,but i am facing one problem,there is no transition effect between first play and track menu,and also between first play and top menu.plz sir give me the solution,it is very important thing which should be in your authoring software like adobe encore and dvd lab pro.
Under the "Cut Edit" menu, I do some editing and cut out the bits that i don't want, The bits that i cut out disappear out of the thumbnail preview at the bottom. My question is our do i get them back without loosing the cuts i already have, I know i could click undo, but that also undoes anything after also, I also if i come out of the edit section. I then don'y get the option to undo, The only way i can see to do it is to select undo all cuts. but that looses evercut.
As you've found, you can only go backwards, edit by edit, with the Undo button/command or undo all edits.
However, if you want to get back a specific edit that was a couple of edits ago, I would add the video file again to create another clip and then isolate that one section you want to get back.
You may need to split the original clip into sections in order to get the new clip back into its proper place in the video.
Using TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 Trial version, attempting to write to a Dual Layer 8.5 GB DVD, I get the below error message. (I realize that the second sentence is messed up, but that's what it says.):
"The estimated output size is 7920 MB, but the output location offers only 4927 MB of available space. Change of or free enough space in the current output folder."
I know that the DVD I am using is a Dual Layer 8.5 GB disc. I have checked out multiple software products and was really liking TMPGEnc Authoring Works, but I really want to be able to write to 8.5 GB discs. Is this a known problem or a bug of some sort? Anyone know what causes this or how to get past it? Thanks
How much space do you have on your hard drive? TAW4 needs to save the output files to your hard drive before it can burn it to disc. That is what the message is referring to.
Thanks! I hadn't realized it, but I was getting low on hard disk space. I've purchased the full version, now, and I think I'm going to be happy with it.
I created a DVD using captured HD input. The output format was MPEG-2 Video, 720x480, 16:9, Dolby Digital audio stream.
When I put the DVD in a player the audio was only a loud buzz, no other sound can be heard. The audio/video in the output folder on my computer is the same.
I recently installed the software on my new Windows 7 computer. This exact same process used to work on my Windows XP machine. Am I missing a codec or something?
I currently have the trial version installed on my machine. Shall I uninstall it before installing the full (paid) version, or can I just install it over the top of the trial without any harmful consequences?
I noticed that by default, when encoding any source material to PAL DVD standard, TVMW5 assumes the output is 704 x 576 and pads 8 pixels left and right to get 720 x 576. In order to get full frame 720 x 576, one should uncheck the "keep aspect ratio" box in the resize filter.
I believe 704 x 576 is mainly used for analog PAL, and DVD support both 704 and 720 x576...
So, I wonder, when downconverting HD material (1920 x 1080) to SD PAL, what setting gives the correct aspect ratio in the final DVD: the TVMW5 default (but on computer display, we have 8 pixel black bars left and right) or the "forced" 720 * 576 (by unchecking the "keep AR" box, we now have the image filling the full 720 pixels wide). The difference is not really significant (PAR is then either 16:11 or 64:45) but not negligible either...
It looks to me that 704 * 576 usable pixels inside a 720 * 576 frame is a legacy from that analog world; confused between the specs and the reality, I decided to run a little pratical test, to solve once and for all the PAR issue in TMPGEnc MPEG-2 encoder, when encoding HD1080 (square pixel) material to anamorphic DVD for the PAL region.
The results of my simple test are somewhat surprising !!!
Method: I created in Avid Symphony a 1080p sequence (square pixels) containing a.o. a geometrically perfect circle.
I have then encoded this sequence using TVMW 5.3.1.85 twice to the "PAL 16/9 DVD" format, once keeping TVMW5 defaults (which generates 704 * 576 anamorphic video) and once forcing 720 * 576 by unchecking the "Keep Aspect Ratio" option in the "Resize" filter of TVMW5. I have then authored these two short sequences on a PAL DVD (without any extra transcoding). I also copied the MPEG-2 files on a USB memory stick for use with a standalone media player.
I have then played back and measured the result on a long list of combinations of players, display devices and connection types.
Players:
- WMP 12 on Windows PC
- VLC 2 on Windows PC
- 'old' JVC DVD player
- Sony DVD+/-R player-recorder
- Panasonic Bluray player
- WD TV HD media player
I won't list the complete results here, but the general trend is that more than the player or display device type, it is the CONNECTION TYPE that determines the image geometry !
IOW, using the same player and display, generally, to get my perfect circle, I need to encode in 704 * 576 if using analog connections (CVBS, YCbCr), while in the other cases (HDMI, computer digital connections), it's indeed 720 * 576 that must be used when encoding the DVD (and so the TVMW5 default must be overridden !). I tested the Y/C connection type only in one player/display combination, and hence, the results is not statistically relevant (strangely though, this single Y/C combo gave me the same results as HDMI, not CVBS...)
Yet IOW, if one encodes PAL DVDs from digital sources (and specifically, from non-anamorphic HD material) using TVMW5 and its default settings, the results will be geometrically correct only if the audience uses "older" hardware with analog connections !
If the audience uses "modern" hardware (HDMI connections, computer, etc...), the DVDs encoded with the defaults TVMW5 settings will be about 2% too narrow !
In essence, with the time (as people phase out analog hardware and connections), the defaults chosen by TMPGEnc engineering become more and more obsolete, despite the fact that they claim to follow the official standards.
So, people encoding DVDs in the PAL region with TMPGEnc encoders should make sure to UNCHECK the "Keep Aspect Ratio" option in the "Resize" filter....
I have a some files that are in mono.I want to use the stereo audio that I took from a CD to replace the mono.
How do i do this?
The video files are already on my hard drive,as is audio from the CD.
From the Edit stage, double-click the clip or click on the "Edit" button to open the clip editor.
Go to the clip properties tab. For the audio source, click on the "Browse.." button and select your stereo audio file to replace the original audio.
I have the audio and video so that they both start at the same time(as Jon Anderson introduces Igor Khoroshev).
However,when I click on play,the video starts at the beginning,but of hearing Jon speak,I hear the playing I've Seen All Good People
