Is there any way to add a logo with Authoring Works 4. If not then can anyone recommend a program to add a logo to DVD video without having to encode the entire video?
Using Tmpg to resize avi's very succesfully and then one out of around 40, the audio disappears. I have the codecs on PC because it plays the original fine and audio shows up in settings/audio but isn't there in edit or on the output file
I am trying to create a dvd and when I click the Start Output button I get the following error message "Incomplete Cursor Link: The Top menu's "Top" menu group "Track" menu page button cursor link is incomplete."
I am not doing anything differently creating this project and this is the first time I've seen this error. What am I doing wrong?
Is this with a DVD with a custom menu? The "cursor link" is probably referring to the navigation links in your top menu. This is basically how your dvd remote navigates from one button to the other when you use the arrow buttons on the remote. These navigation links are completely editable in a custom menu and the error might be caused by a button not having enough navigation links to other buttons.
Go back to the Menu stage and select the top menu page. Go to the link editor and check the links for the track menu page button. Do this by clicking on the track menu button to select it. Small handles should appear on the four sides of the button's bounding box. Click and drag a handle to another button to link the two buttons.
Drawing a link from the bottom handle to another button means that in the DVD menu when you are on that button, pressing the down arrow on the remote will navigate to the other button. Hope that makes sense.
I had the exact same problem and this fixed it! Thanks, I never used the link editor before, just overlooked it. Where my problem came is I had made a few discs with different video clips on each but each one had almost the same menu, so I just edited it slightly each time. I went from having 4 clips on my track menu to 3 on the next disc and I moved the clip at the bottom left into the middle. This must have taken away the link from the 2nd clip to the 3rd clip. Once I drew an arrow to connect them again, it was fine!
I have been using TMPGEnc 4 for a few years importing several different video formats and sizes. All of a sudden I am starting to get this error message. > Not enough storage available to complete this operation (error code 0x8007000e)
I read a topic post that had a similar error message where the person was told that they actually really didn't have enough space - so I checked this out and just to see I changed my temporary output folder to my main disk drive folder which is telling me that I have around 30GB of free space which should be sufficient for a 4.7GB DVD output and I changed the final output folder to be saved in the same main disk drive folder aw well, but unfortunately, I got the same error code. Can someone please help? I have been trying to figure out what I did wrong even did a system restore to make sure - I can't figure out where I'm going wrong?
When creating a PAL 720x576 16:9 DVD from 1920x1080p25 source material, small black boxes (pillars) are shown on the left and right. Also the video is squeezed a bit. Using 704x576 solves the problem, but officially this anamorphic video is not supported for this resolution. There is a solution to use TMPGEnc Xpress to encode the video with certain settings, but IMHO it should also be possible to do this by only using AuthoringWorks. Can this be fixed in a small update (for example an option to choose how to encode the video in this case) Thanks in advance!
Hi, I recently use Authoring Works 4 and would like to open a projec I created with TMPGEnc DVD Author 3. In the Open project menu I can select to view only DVD Author 3's projects, but when I try to open one an error says "this file is not a project file generated by tmpgenc authoring works 4".
Is it possible to open a DVD Author 3 project with Authoring Works 4?
When you choose to open a tda3 project in Authoring Works 4, there should be a window that appears with a message stating "This file is a project created by TMPGEnc DVD Authro 2.0 or 3. etc...."
You can then choose to convert it to a Authoring Works 4 project.
Try some other tda3 projects and see what happens.
You are right, thank you.
I've been trying to open old projects, the problem is that the message to convert form a previous version doesn't appear always, I don't know the specific problem, but I have projects sabed on a 32bit Windows XP, 32bit Vista and 64bit Windows 7.
Don't worry about it, I don't need to open any of these projects at the moment, just wanted to post it.
Hi, I have some tracks with an only file and a track with some videos, so I'd like to know if there's a way to make track menus for the tracks with more than 1 file, to be able to select the video I want to see.
You can select which track menus are visible in the Global Menu Settings. In the Menu Stage, click on the "global menu settings" button in upper left corner. You can then check which track menus are displayed.
I have combined 2 shows, each running about 50 minutes, on a single DVD. I would like each show to start with the time at 0:00 and run to 50:00. I ended up with the first show running from 0:00 to 50:00 and the second show from 50:00 to 1:40:00. Is there a way to reset the beginning of the second show to 0:00?
Is each show in the same track? If they are in the same track, they will be combined into one and will be treated as if it is one long video instead of two separate ones. Try putting them in separate tracks.
If I create a DVD and then want to go back and make changes to the menu, is there a way to make the changes and create a new DVD witout re-encoding all of the files again?
I would just import the video from the DVD you just outputted. Then delete the old tracks. Since the imported video is already DVD-compliant, it won't need to be re-encoded.
Use the Source Wizard and select the "From a DVD, blah blah blah" option.
Then select the "From a folder" option and select your outputted VIDEO_TS folder. That's it! It should list the tracks as if it were an actual DVD disc.
I created AVI files from a professionally produced DVD, a different AVI file for each track on the DVD. Now I'm trying to use those AVI files to create a new DVD. However, loading the files into TMPGEnc Authoring Works shows the resulting disk as 26804 MB!! Considering these files were ripped from a 8.5 gig DVD, what's with the enormous increase in file size? I've checked the settings and see no way of reducing the quality of the encoding..
What was the encoding settings for the orginal DVD? You can change the encoding quality in the Track settings; you'll have to change it for each track.
