Was working fine for me for quite a while, now I get this error. Uninstalling/cleaning/re-installing does not help. Error can occur anytime during the process, but usually between 20%-30%. I have confirmed that the video files conform to MPEG/DVD specs. Any help would be appreciated.

Does someone know what i can do about the next problem, i have no idea.
I tryed a lot but nothing works! :-(

the position of the button in the "Page 1" page of the "Track 1" Menu is invalid

It is most likely too close to another button/thumbnail. Move it away from the closest clickable item.

Only the thing is i don't know wich button they mean?
I've tryed a lot. hmmmm

In the menu editor, there are buttons at the bottom right corner of the screen that activate various views. One of them allows you to see the active area around buttons. Buttons that are too close or overlapping another button will be highlighted red.

SUPER!!! It works.

Thank You

Hello,

I have 2 pages with track in my dvd.
Everything works perfect only 3 track won't.
This is i think because they are called USER ADDED ITEM instead of Thumbnail of Chapter or Name of Chapter.
How can i get them also working?

I hope someone can help me.

If you manually added a thumbnail to the menu, it won't do anything because there is no way to link it to a chapter/track.
If you have 3 tracks, it should automatically generate a thumbnail for that track and then you can edit it as you wish.

I have 10 tracks on page 1 and 10 on page 2.
Only 7 on the last page are working and 3 won't

So how can i get 3 extra thumbnail of chapters in it?

Do you actually have 30 chapters?
Or, do you have 27 and you manually added 3 thumbnails on the 3rd page?

I fixed it!!!

Thank You

I have a Samsung HMX-Q10 camcorder which records HD video in H.264/MP4 format. While attempting to put together a DVD of my videos in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4, I try to edit each video clip, but the preview playback only plays the first half second or so normally, and then it stops moving completely. The audio continues to play. It seems the program chokes on it. I can play the videos smoothly through Windows Media Player. I also have the latest version of Quicktime installed on my computer. I have the "low resolution" option checked, but the help says that may not work with certain video formats. It seems to make no difference, so I assume the H.264 is one of those exceptions.

I am running an AMD A4-4000 Richland 3.2GHz Dual-Core CPU, with 4GB of DDR3 1333 RAM. My main hard drive is a 1TB, 7200RPM w/64MB cache, SATA, 6GB/sec Western Digital. The videos reside on a secondary SATA drive.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to get the preview video to play back smoothly? I upgraded my computer JUST for the purpose of editing my HD home movies, so it is quite a bummer to find it still not working. Would upgrading to version 5 work? Or should I install a specific codec to decode the H.265 video faster? Would moving the video to the main hard drive be better? Thank you!

Hi Everyone,
After completing my compilation and writing to disc all OK, the disc plays
in my portable player fine but if I try to play the disc in my blu ray it
sounds like a bag of pebbles turning around in the player trying to read it
Im missing something but what.
I tried changing the region on the player still no luck,could someone shine some light on my problem.

Thankyou Alan.

For anyone's info regarding this event happening to you with this software, try
changing the disc type the brand. I found a couple of plain dvd's not branded
burnt one of them exactly the same as before played first time.

Hope this helps someone.

I have a DVD with many chapters set at scene changes, all of which have thumbnails. When I preview the project, the chapter thumbs are right where I set them; but when I output the DVD folder, many thumbnails are set 1 frame too soon. This means those thumbnails miss the scene changes.

My workaround has been to output the Keyframe List, import it into a spreadsheet, add 1 to all the values, and re-import the Keyframe List to redo the chapters so they're all set one frame later. Kind of a ridiculous process, but I've had to deal with this bug across several versions of AW4. Are there any settings that can correct this bug?

I have a Top menu with 3 tracks and one clip on each. And 3 thunbnails(play-buttons)linked to them. All works very well.
Now i wanted to add two new clips plus thumbnails,but I am stuck.
I can add new tracks and clips,but if I do there is automatically created a second page. I dont't want a second page.I just want to place some new clips and link-buttons)on my page #1. That seems not to be possible.
Do I have to open the Menu wisard and recreate the whole menu again?
If I do,all settings will be lost. Have I missed something?

>does anybody know how to shrink this box. when get to this stage the buttons >to ok the clip addition is below the task bar and can not be reached. have >tried pulling in the edges but the whole box moves. I hope somebody can help.

Increase your screen resolution. Minimum screen resolution is 1024x768 as stated in the system requirements.

Hey guys

Hope you guys can help. I have two projects saved, they seem to act differently. When playing a track, and the track ends, it goes back to the menu... but the track it just played is highlighted. Great, this is how I want it...

However, another project I am working on seemingly has the same settings, but when a track finishes playing, it goes back to the menu and the first track is highlighted.

Any ideas?!

I don't have TAW4 currently installed, but I think there is a setting in the Global Menu Settings for what is highlighted when you return to the menu, so check there.

Hello, I hope that here I solve this headache. I created a DVD with a first track and two track play menu. In the first track menu, I have only one episode of 30 minutes which when returned directly to the track just menu. The problem as I have in the second track menu, which termed as "extras" I have three videos (chapters) with a duration independent each other. My question is this:

After completing each chapter, you can return to the menu of the track both?, Because in my case if I press the first chapter, begins immediately after finishing second, and that's not what I want. What I want is that after finishing the chapter returns to the main menu which contains the 3 chapters.

Unfortunately, you can't return to the menu after a chapter ends with TAW4.
However, they added a setting in TAW5 that allows you to return to the menu after a certain chapter.
