TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
I have isn't Basic x64 and TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4.02.14. It has worked flawless for me for the last few months, until now. All of a sudden after I set up my options in "Output" which included having the writer settings at maximum, when I click start, it runs for a few seconds then I get an error message that says "Access is denied (error code 0x80070005)"
Luckily I poked around and discovered that, by setting my writer settings from Maximum to 16, that it would work, but lately even doing that gets an error message, but I've found that by hitting start again everything works fine and my burn gets done.
I don't know why this is happening now after all of these months. I haven't changed anything in Windows that I think would affect DVD burning. I did Google this and may people say the error means that the files are in use by another program, but I don't see how that could be it.
Also I did try updating to version 4.4.24 but for some reason I could not get it to run. I also though that maybe I need a firmware upgrade on my two DVD burners but firmware is hard to find for the LG brand.
I suppose a registry entry or two may have gotten deleted and I could always do a reinstall.
this error is really strange becuase it to do with space on your hdd, and its tupid becuase this error only goes away when you have a good 100gb if using a 750gb drive.
well thats how ive dealt with it after getting rid of files.
So your saying you think I don't have enough free hard drive space and that the error will go away if I have 100 GB's free? I don't know if that's possible to do. Currently I have about 30 GB's free on a 75 GB partition.
The thing is, it ran fine for quite a while with that configuration. I'm more inclined to believe that it could be a missing registry entry or something, I will probably just end up reinstalling.
One other thing...I read where that error can also be related to more than one program using a file at the same time and I did just install a new program for downloading Rapidshare links called JDownloader.
I looked in default programs and saw that JDownloader is default for several types of files like .ccf,.dlc, .metalink and ,rsdf files, though I don't think any of those would conflict with TMPGEnc.
what im saying is that my experince with this issues has shown that its a bloody stupid odd one where the software decided it wants space it doesnt need to carry out the operation.
ive wanted my stuff to happen with say 40gb spare on the hdd, and then i have had to either shift or delete files to make a good 100gb spare space and then the problems gne...no idea why it just seems to work
Well I always usually have a very cleaned out system anyway, as I constantly am cleaning things out using Tracks Eraser or CCleaner. But you said something about "Shift" Does that mean hold down the Shift key or something.
tmpgenc authoring works 4 work great creating mpeg2 bluray disks without reencoding however why is their no option to create h.264 bluray disks ? i use the spurs engine to harware encode mpge2 and h264. but using mpeg2 the video bitrate must be used at max (32Mb/s) for it to look any good. please add support for creation h264 blurays **without reencoding to mpeg2** in a future release.
It's unknown why they didn't put it in from the get-go, but I'm sure they're working on it since there have been numerous requests for this...at least that's what I'm hoping. They'd be crazy not to include it.
In the past with a Tape based Camcorder I would create a raw DVD, then import the VOB files and pretty much be able to edit the whole thing in one go. Quick and easy. I now have a HD camcorder that records to SDCard, and each "shot" is a separate file. So there can be over 200 or 300 files of 1 to 20 seconds each per standard DVD. Rather than copying onto a DVD first (using an ordinary DVD recorder) I thought I would import the files direct (from copies on the computer's hard drive) for better quality, as this is what one is supposed to do anyway. But you then have single tracks with 99 short clips, each of which has to be looked at using the edit button, played, edited if necessary and then saved again- taking over an hour per 99 clips on average, where the other method took about 20 minutes because one can just "skim through" a lot of the footage. (Thee is also the problem of having over 99 clips by the finish, and so exceeding the track limit)
I thought the "linking" the clips option would let me import all files as a single editable clip, but it doesn't seem to do this. So how can it be done ? or can't it.
i dont know if this will work, but if the recorded format is mpeg-2 etc, import each file into dgindex and then press ok after you have added all of them.
then what you do is select demux audio and video this will then give you a video file and audio, then just import the two into dvd authour.
Help! I am using TAW4 and cannot figure out how to do what I need. I am putting together a DVD of about 60-75 clips of funny videos. The top menu has the categories (e.g. Animals, Autos, Idiots, Oops, etc.) When you click on a category such as Animals, it goes to a track that has 6-12 Animal videos. That part works OK. I want to click on one of the videos on that track and when it is through playing, it would take me back to the Track Menu. Instead it plays all of the videos in succession and then returns to the track menu.
Several years ago I did this with version 2.x of TMPGenc Express and it work beautifully.
How can I get TAW4 return to the track menu after each clip?
I saw in the forum where someone suggested each track having only 1 clip, but I can't figure how to get the categories. Seems like that would require a Top Menu (with the categories), then a sub-Menu for each category (with 6-12 videos) which would point to the correct track for each video shown in the sub-menu.
What am I missing here?
As I remember it, TMPCenc 2.x express had a option to select what to do at the end of each clip, but I can't seem to find that in TAW4.
Is it possible to set a menu button to "resume" so that the DVD starts playing at the same point that it stopped when I pressed the menu button?
For example I might access the audio menu to change the soundtrack and then wish to resume. As it stands I can only see that it's possible to return to a track menu.
When I tried to including a new track and after the inclusion of the subtitles I often run the Simulation Phase in order to see if everything is allright.
But now I got a message error when I tried to play a simulation of a specific track (in fact the last one.
The message was: No SampleFormat.
I tried to fix it using the video and audio settings for that particular track but It did not work.
I've been trying to install the latest version of Authoring Works 4 (4.0.6.28) and it always freezes the system. My machine is running XP Pro 32 bit. Is there a known issue with this installation? Does the previous version need to be uninstalled first?
your operating system that needs redoing.
or your master hdd is corrupt, which is causing the installation to freeze as the hdd is not read and writing correctly and missing data via the transfer.
there shouldn't be an issue at all with the installation otherwise.
No, it's definitely a software issue with the installer. Other programs load/run just fine and the system is fairly new. I have another machine that runs Vista, I could try it on that.
Hi there,
I have the exact same problem.
I tried to install the newest version (4.0.6.28 I think) and it freezes at the installer. I tried to deinstall the old one, cleaned/defragmented the registry, downloaded it again and even let the computer running over night to see whether it just needs some more time but nothing worked. I'm running XP Pro 32Bit with 3.8 Gh P4 and 4 Gb RAM. Could it be that the file at the server is corrupt?
Help would much apprechiated!
Thanks
Alex
Hi,
I just installed it on an other XP on the same HD and it worked. I didn't try to run the software yet but the installation was just fine.
I think you where right Mathew, it is the OS. Its just confusing because I can install other software just smooth. It might even be that it won't run together with a particular set of software. Well, time will tell.
Happy Authoring...
Cheers
Alex
Ok, I finally got a chance to try to install this version on my 64 bit Vista machine and it freezes at the exact same point, so that rules out the "OS". The freeze is symptomatic of a memory leak or endless loop, but since others are having success it may just be a conflict with other software. My XP and Vista computers have very little in common software wise, with the following exceptions: they both have Norton 2010 Internet Security, and both run the same NVidia software. I have a laptop running Windows 7 RC and could try to install on that for kicks, but it too is running Norton 2010 and uses NVidia drivers.
Bottom line, there is a problem with the installer.
bottom line is that there isnt a issue at all with the installer. just sadly that some people arent as experienced as others to realize that there OS just isnt well enough to do the installation, and its also possible that the hdd needs to have the chkdks done .
no, but if you do a suggestion to them, i would also say if they would eb able to put in an option to verify the burn like imgburn does that would be great.
I've been using TAW4 to import .avi files from my Canon S1000 camera. Of the 40+ tracks I've done none of them have the audio in sync with the video. (What is really bad is I deleted the .avi's before I looked at the output.) Anyway, when trying to "fix" the out of sync audio in TAW4, sometimes it is in sync and sometimes it is out of sync and all I do is play the same track over and over. I can not figure out how to fix this problem. Any help would be appreciated. I love the ease of the TAW4 product but it doesn't seem to work for my application.
