I'm a newbie at authoring my DVDS. But I've had Authoring Works 5 about 3 months. Authored about 6-8 dvds. Used the same templates each time. They're simple but functional. 1 track title page with title, play button, chapter button. 1 chapter page with 6-10 chapters. Last time I attempted the same process, I could only get a chapters button. Can some one help me figure out how to put my play button back? Thanks, Don
When I select "Write to DVD/BD" as post-process option for a Blu Ray project, a disc is never written to, even though AW 5 indicates the operation has completed successfully. I can launch the disc writing tool from the dialog box that appears when disc writing is normally complete, and it then creates the BD successfully - it just won't perform the operation as part of the initial post processing.
Is there any hope that there will be an update to use .mst files from Sony videocameras? Right now I can import them, despite the warning it can`t read them, but the preview window stutters enormously and the footage afterwards is nowhere near the expected 1080p quality.
I`ll have to give handbrake a try to convert it, but it would be nice if TMPGEnc could handle it by itself. Thank you for the attention!
Do you mean .mts files? If so, I convert them to H264 using Roxio Toast (Apple software). I figure that Roxio Creator (PC software) does the same thing. I agree that it would be nice if TMPGEnc could handle it by itself.
And when they also are at it, then they also need to take a look at the support for WebM video files.
Its shown there is suppose to be support for it, but my experience is that its not supported.
I tested several Youtube downloaded videos, that was downloaded as .webm files by WM Recorder 14, but neither of them can be opened.
I am trying to convert videos from mpg to quick time. We have bought this software only for doing this but i receive error message when i import the videos. It says it is not supported. I have tried 4 different kind of mpg only one of them is accepted. How can i update the program and use this program for converting all type of mpg files?
You need to make sure you have the right codecs installed on your PC. Can you play the files in Windows Media Player? You will need DirectShow codecs such as FFDShow. You can also use a program like MediaInfo to figure out the exact codec you need.
I am using TMPGenc Editor 3 for many years to cut/edit my TV Recordings. Most of the older recordings (from german Sat TV) have 720i MPEG2 format. Question : Can TMPGEnc de-interlace and generate a 720p output file ?
I am asking because i have found in my video collection one video clip with 720p which I had cut with TMPGenc out of a TV Recording which has actually 720i. But I do not remember what I had (accidentally) changed in the output format settings to get a progressive video at the .
With variable bitrate encoding, having HD sources/output and various filters enabled (precision video denoise for example) on less than top-of-the line PC's, can make encoding last several hours, even days. It would useful to be able to encode the first pass, save the results and continue at some other time.
Was managing to import to the timeline *.ts files at 720x576 size. Now trying to import *.ts files at 1280x720 and the programs appears to import but simply displays a black image. The audio is importing fine. Is this a restriction of TMPGenc as I can import and edit these larger files with other programs on my PC and play them with VLC media player.
Hi all - an update and the solution in case others are experiencing this problem.
Solution supplied by tech support at Pegasys
'....make right-click over the preview screen and disable
these 3 options:
- Use fast rendering mode
- Display in progressive mode...
- Lower the preview picture quality...'
It was most likely the "Use fast rendering mode" that was causing the problem. I think that is what they used to call the Video Overly option which switches between software video rendering and rendering via your graphics card/hardware.
In most cases, another application is using Video Overlay, thereby making it unavailable to use in TMPGEnc (or vice versa).
I just paid 100$ for this and it won't even open
I get an error message
this operation is not permitted with a sorted string list
what the hell does that mean?
I'd like to report when I import a TS video with DVB subtitle (TV program recorded from Hong Kong), the subtitle will not correctly display, it becomes smaller and places on the middle left hand side of the video area. http://goo.gl/S2il1Z
Normally, it should be view like this on the video. http://goo.gl/6feUw2
I have attached a sample TS file http://gdurl.com/cZPJ/download
for your team to study the problem, I hope it will be fixed in your next update release.
Thank you for your attention and look forward to your reply soon.
I also have the same problem because the subtitle is in SD resolution and the video is HD resolution in the TS. Usually, modern decoders can read the flag and resize the SD subtitle to full HD size, however, TMPGEnc software fails to resize the subtitle properly. Hope this can be resolved in the next release version.
I have a different kind of subtitle problem. The subtitle will not display at all or it will display later than it should. Program can skip several lines of text and the all thing is very erratic. I think it started after the last update. My Video Mastering Works version is 5.4.2.103. TV program is recorded in Finland and is broadcasted by YLE which transmits the subtitle stream separetly from the picture. I wouldn't have any problem if the subtitle was "burned" in the picture like commercial TV-stations have. I guess i'm gonna have to downgrade my program until this problem is solved.
I have the similar problem as TS. The TV program (.ts stream) I recorded and later edit on TMPGenc with subtitle enable, it will display on the left centre of the video.
Is there any way to place the sub on the bottom~??
The source is a DVD with AC3 audio.
I want to make a MKV file with the video transcoded to H.264, but "passthrough" stream copy of the AC3 audio.
How can I do that with the TVMW5 tools (the demux tool doesn't seem to allow me to extract the AC3 stream from the DVD source as such) ?
When I attempt to create a MKV encoding job with H.264 video and AC3 audio (with same parameters as the source AC3), it looks like the audio track is transcoded anyway, not simply copied.
You need another software if you want to mux the audio directly in to a MKV file with H.264 codec, DVD ripping software.
My sugestion for a very good DVD ripper is DVDFab 9, because it works very fast and creates excelent quality MKV's out of DVD's, well as long the bitrate is practically the same as it is on the DVD.
But if you want to do it the free way and dont care much about file sizes, then there is also the muxing method, where you just direct mux the DVD movie to an MKV file.
There i suggest MKVToolnix. That one works very fast in muxing DVD directly in to MKV.
I understand TVMW5 is not a DVD ripper, but its wizard does a good job at allowing to transcode from a non-copy-protected DVD; hence my question: when I get as far as being able to transcode the content of such a DVD to MKV (H.264 + AC3) using TVMW5, why can't I just bypass the audio transcoding step and stream copy the AC3 during transcoding (there must be a way ?)...
