Sometimes after burning video movies and watching them on my television, I find that the overall volume is too low. I have to turn the volume all the way up and am still not able to hear some of the most quiet dialog. However, the sound effects at certain suspenseful points, are way too loud.

Using the Volume Adjustment feature of TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5, I'd like to increase the volume overall and tone down the special effects a bit. Which feature of the Volume Adjustment would I use: the Volume Adjustment, the Volume Normalization, or the Volume Uniformization. How would I make the required settings is the preferred option.

Thank you for your help.

I'm using the GPU NVIDIA GTX 760 but when i activate NVIDIA CUDA 2.0 it announced that
An error occurred during CUDA execution [cudaError...]
Can somebody help me with this because i bought the new gpu just to encode video

I want to do multiple videos but forget how. Can anyone help me please. TY
Mike

nevrmind, figured it out :-)

Encode multiple video files?. With Batch Encode Tool... Clik on Add Batch button instead of Export button in Encode tab with each video file.


Regards, Alkermes.

Currently, it is possible to import and combine video and audio from DVD/BD's. For subtitles, this is only possible to do with the currently loaded video file or DVD/BD disc (only embedded subtitles and external srt files).

It should be easy to add import from external DVD/BD's since the functionality seems to be there already.

Multiavchd allows you to use subtitles from mkv files and other sources. Use that instead to author your files.

I use TAW to build blue rays and DVDs from camera files. I want to just dump 300-400 clips into TAW (100 per track) without any editing. It takes two clicks per clip to add each files

This takes hours to add all the clips especially when building a blue-ray. Can I just dump all the clips at once? Seems like I used to be able to do this on an older version of TAW

Yes, just add multiple files at once; it will then ask if you want to put them into the same track and if you want to open the cut edit window.

Yes, but that takes two clicks per file...and when you have about 700 clips to load that takes forever. I don't see any other way to get this done so I am going to spend all afternoon adding these clips to tracks...

What do you mean, per file? When you are choosing your files, select all of the ones you want in the file selector using ctrl + click / shift + click. Then press OK.

For example, if you have all 700 files in a folder, navigate to the folder, select all files and add them to the track. You can even drag and drop, I believe.

TAW5 will then ask if you want to add them to the same track or if you want to open the cut edit window. Then it will add all 700 files to the track. Done.

Lately I noticed that TMSR 4.2.3.67 has become **extremely** slow (e.g. more than 1 minute to launch, or 40 seconds before anything happens when I click on "new project" !!!! This is Core i7 Q3740 (2.7 GHz) machine !)
Anything I do causes such a delay that makes the app almost unusable !
Last time I used the app a few weeks ago, everything was fine.
I just tried full deinstall / reinstall: no change !!

I also run TVMW5 and TAW5 without any problem !!

Could a recent Windows Update (e.g. a .NET Framework update ?) be the cause of this ?

Please help !

update: while "waiting" for the app to respond to *any* action (Windows "hourglass"), Win Task Manager shows that the TMSR process is the only process eating CPU at that time, around 15% total (4 out of the 8 HT cores show high activity).

Update #2

On another Win7 system, with a much lesser and older CPU (Core2 Quad), there is no problem !

just to be clear following the previous update: while TSMR works fine on my older system, the problem is still there on my main system, where it is absolutely unusable.

Thanks for any hint

Things are becoming hairy (and t'shooting very timeconsuming):

I tried uninstalling Windows updates to a date somewhat before I first noticed the problem: no change !
I tried deleting the TMSR key & all subkeys ni the registry (LOCAL_USER) before reinstalling TMSR: no change ! (but apparently the license info and possibly other settings are stored elsewhere since when reinstalling TMSR, it did NOT ask for my Licence key at launch).
I tried reverting to 4.2.2.66 : no change !

Then I tried running TMSR from another Win7 user profile on the same machine and...no problem !!!! So the problem source is NOT the hardware or the software on this machine, but some obscure interference with "something" in my main Win7 user profile, but what ??????
I can't remember of any significant change on my desktop environment lately, "process explorer" and "autoruns" utility reveal no problem. Virus scan was completed successfully (Avira Free 14)
My system is pretty well managed, no rogue apps etc.
This system has 2 GPUs, I tried with both the nVidia Quadro K2000M GPU and the Intel HD4000 GPU: no change.
(CUDA is disabled)

I am running out of ideas, please help !

While I can work with TMSR4 without serious problems, I agree that is significantly less responsive and more sluggish than TVMW5 and TAW5. Hope they take care of this.

hallo.is it possible also make highlight fade out?????

I don't think so. This is what i'm looking to do two questions down.
You can only delay the highlight from appearing. After that it stays visible until the end of the menu loop.

Hello
and theanks for all your great software!

I would like to ask
is possible to change some h264 flags?
Like interlace <> progressive, aspect ratio for example ?

Thanks

You can change the aspect ratio in the video settings and also the rotation flag, but I think that's it.

I'm experiencing some audio dropouts on a track. The original source never had any such problems. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I've always known MP2 48000hz to be DVD standard/compliant.
So why is AW5 telling me to convert my audio to Dolby Digital AC3 or LPCM?
MP2 even appears in the AW5 list of codecs to encode to if necessary.
Very strange indeed. Anyone?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1_Audio_Layer_II#Applications_of_MP2

"All DVD-Video players in PAL countries contain stereo MP2 decoders, making MP2 a possible competitor to Dolby Digital in these markets. DVD-Video players in NTSC countries are not required to decode MP2 audio, although most do."

Thanks for that Max.
I live in PAL land so do you know how i can make AW5 accept my MP2 files without re-encoding them into AC3?
Thanks!

I know you can delay the highlight but is there a way to delay the actual buttons?
I have a menu which fades in from black. The highlight comes in at the right time but the buttons are visible throughout the fade in.
Thanks!

There's no delay function like the highlights, but you can add a fade-in effect to buttons.

Ah yes! Perfect. That's just what i wanted!
Thank you so much!

So there's no way of disappearing the highlight before the end of the motion menu then? Not that i can see anyway.
My menu fades out to.

When I open a .ts file and go into the cut-edit mode, scrolling thru the thumbnails at the bottom is causing extremely heavy hdd-usage.
In fact, the computer cannot be used anymore. Any click or key-hit takes minutes before any response (if any at all).
Sometimes, after 10-15 minutes, I have to kill Video Mastering Works..

This is only with .ts files (tv-broadcasts), not with any other format, like DVD, MP4, MKV.

Also important to know is that the other products of TMPGEnc (Authoring/Smart Renderer) do not have these issues at all: there are no delays when moving back and forth thru the same .ts file.
I would be happy if VMW would perform likewise.

TMPGEnc support cannot reproduce this, they used the same .ts file to check.

Does anybody out there have a clue/suggestion?

Thanks

Purchase more memory for your computer. I had to do the same years ago when i began video editing and recording from HDTV using a Linux PVR, who records as Transport Stream (TS).
So now i have a AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU and 32GB DDR3 HyperX RAM, who makes everything run smoothly.

The memory idea is a bad one as its not the issue.

your HDD is limited in its performance, go buy a decent SSD...yes it may cost a bit but you will see a DRASTIC change not only in performance and your editing but you will see a change in rendering when the output is to the ssd.

also change your main drive to an ssd ...effectively come away from hdd as they simply slow any system down
