Though I think it´s somewere in here, I could not find, so:
I would like to know what format and parameters does a file has to have to be compliant and so the Smart Rendering can work.
Thank you in advance.

It has to be DVD-Video or Blu-ray (MPEG-2) compliant. These standards can be found on the web:

DVD-Video video properties:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-VIDEO#Frame_size_and_frame_rate

Blu-ray:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Video

TAW4 will only encode to MPEG-2 for DVD/BD, so your source should be MPEG-2 as well for smart rendering to kick in.

Thank you very much.

I am recently getting an error message " Not enough storage available to complete this operation - 0x8007000E"

This occurs at around the same point of the encoding process (in my case around the 13% mark). The application then quits when I select OK.

Is this a software problem or a problem with my computer of the source file?

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.

Hi

Got the same problem with an "Optiarc DVD Writer - AD-7240S" which I believe
is a Sony drive and I have read that Tmpgenc has issues with Sony drives.

Glad I found this out using the trial version as I would be very unhappy
to have purchased the full package and found it could not write to DVD.

I tried installing with the Anti-Viruse disabled but that didn't fix the
problem.

Oh well, just have to use another package - Shame, I like Tmpgenc tools.

(I wonder if Tmpgenc people read these posts?)

Lately the editor stopped working issueng an error" Read Error occured at Adress xxxxxx of module UtilsPresentation.vme.

Files that I used to edit before can't be edited... I can still output to files.

I am using Windows 7 Ulitimate 64 bit (service pack 1).

Any help on the issue???

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?

Is the issue that the source matrerial has Italian as the default audio track?

Are you authoring a DVD with three user-selectable audio tracks, or do you intend to produce a DVD with on audio track only.

Tell us more about how youauthored the DVD and prepared the sosruce material.

Did you enable the Multi-audio option of the Clip audio properties / Track settings.

I want to produce a DVD with one audio track only;English.
The AVI has 3 audio tracks
1.italian
2.english
3.german

In the clip settings, can you select the English audio track?

Is there a way to import chapter markers/points from an editing program?

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

"Rolling Stones at Mt. Olympus ~ 1975, 1:47, 2011-08, R&R Network, 1.78:1."

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 knew I forgot something.... my system specs:
TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4. Software version: 4.1.0.47. PC processor: AMD Phenom II X4 910

2.60GHz. RAM 8 Gb. Ffree HDD space: 700 Gb. OS: Windows 7 64-bit Version. File system: NTFS.

Thanks again.... KCTexan

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.

I WANT TO CREATE AVCHD DISC WITH OUTPUT SUPPORT OF MPEG4/AVC OR H.264 CODEC USE. RATHER THAN MPEG2. I THINK THIS FEATURES ROCKS. I PURCHASED TAW4 WITHOUT HESITATE
. LIKE YOU SUPPORT THIS CODEC IN VIDEO MASTERING 5.
THANKS

Hi,

there is any plan to support BD-XL authoring?

Thanks in advance

Hello
I want to make text or picture that goes to another page.
when we click on it it goes to a new menu (page) with others chapters.
thanks

Make a custom menu. This will allow you to edit the button that goes to your chapters. You can replace the default image with your own image or text.

Thanks but I don't want my button goes to a chapter but To a new page menu!

The same applies to all buttons, so just change the image of the button that goes to your chapter PAGE. You will need a top menu page in order to do this.

My bad.

Please see my question in the "Reqest" with same topic title.

I film using XDCAM-EX format, 720/60P, 35mbps and edit in Vegas Pro 10. I also smart render in Vegas.

My question is; can I author to Blu-ray format utilizing TMPG4 and smart render. Every other authoring program I have tried ruins the video by over compressing.

As long as it is MPEG-2 and BD compliant, it should smart render in TAW4.

Download the trial and test your files with it to see if they'll work.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I did download the test version, but unfortunately, the program will not allow me to upload my MP4 video files.

Please disregard my last question. I read a recent comment below and added the additional filters as was suggested.

Thanks
