I had to re-download my template package after a recent computer crash. My program files for TPMG show a date for template folder of 2/15/2024. but all the files in that folder have dates of 2008. Does that only reflect their original date of creation?
Strangely there seem to be way more templates in the folder than appear to me when I use the program.

I have been adding some background music wich plays when the disc is incerted. It stops when one of the video is played,and
plays again when start menu opens. The problem I have is that I can't find a way to change the level of the audio in the program.
Is that not possible? I have had to resort to change the original audio file. I have to guess how it wiil sound when played.
Should'nt it be possible to set the level when adding the the audio?

I keep getting the error message cannot open "XXX.mkv" - how can I import these?

I created BlueRay project but I want change the format to DVD without starting over from scratch.

Is this possible?

There are a few things you can do, but ultimately, you'll have to rebuild the project.

You can save your keyframes/chapters from your Bluray and use them for the DVD.
If you customized your menu items by applying styles, you can save those styles as a template to use in other projects.

If for some reason, you made your menu in SD and not HD, you can save it as a template and use it for the DVD. If you made an HD menu, you won't be able to use it for DVDs.

Hello,
I have one question. Can I put separate track as a separate menu in tmpgenc dvd author?
I have several tracks but I would like to add pages in autorun and arange tracks if possible.

I don't understand what you want.

I apologize I am lousy in explaining sometimes…
One person told me that it is better to cut chapters in separate tracks because of navigation and behavior of the chapters. Everything is fine in menu construction when I have one movie.. I have top page and then a page with chapters (that are mini movies in separate tracks). But what to do when I have several movies that all have chapters (that I want to cut and divide in separate tracks)? Is there a way to put new pages and link what track I want to have in what menu pages? I want a list of movies in the first page and then when certain movie is selected to get me to the page with chapters.

What's the reasoning behind putting each chapter into its own track? Doesn't that just list all of your chapters in the Top menu? I guess that's useful if you want to turn the Top menu into a chapter menu.

Anyway ignore that, and just put each movie in its own track.
That way, the Top menu will list all of your movies, and when you select one, it will go to that movie's chapter menu (track menu = chapter menu).

Hello,
I am making dvd with recorded classes for drawing anatomy.
What I need is that when a selected chapter has finished playing to get me back to the chapter menu so that the viewer can choose what other chapters he want to see. Right now it continues to play the unselected chapters as well and then after the entire track has finished playing it get back to the chapter menu. I have several tracks (of recorded lectures). Each track has many chapters (skeleton system of the hand, muscle system of the hand etc.) I really want to avoid making all those chapters in to separate mini movies (tracks)if possible. I have the trial version and just would like to know is this software for me or not.
Thank you in advance

This is possible in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 (can't remember if it's possible in TAW4). TAW4 is discontinued, so if you do decide to buy it, you'll have to buy version 5 anyway.

You can set the chapter end action in the Menu Stage-->Global Menu Settings-->Chapter Display tab.
For each chapter, you can select whether to play the next chapter or go back to the menu.
Note that this option will only appear for DVDs; Blu-rays don't have this functionality I guess.

Thank you so much for your help tkrave :)
It is really appreciated.

Hi all, just started using this software and I need a bit of help setting up a menu, somehow I seem to have some difficulty. What I need I think it's simple but I can't work it out.

1. I need to have a 20 second intro played when the DVD is inserted
2. At the end of the clip a main screen to appear (with Title, Play/Chapters buttons selection)

from there on I got it all working the two steps above got me so far

Thanks

After I installed the latest TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4.0 build 4.1.4.51 my antivirus SW WebRoot identified two Trojan Horses among the AW files! It reports that two files are infected with W32.Trojan.Gen virus. Those files are: effcaaudiofilter.vme and moviempeg.vme.

When I authorized WebRoot to clean these files, AW 4.0 stopped working with a message "required files are missing to boot"...

Anyone else with the same problem? Fixes?

I wrote a ticket to TMPGEnc 2015/01/09 (Fri) 07:29:14 (JST) but never received any input from them.

Thanks.

My PC recently died.I removed the hard drive and transferred the contents(including Authoring Works 4)to the new PC.
So now that I have done that,how do I access Authoring Works?
I created a short cut,but when I click on it,I am asked for some kind of code or key or serial number,which I no longer have,as I purchased it over 5 years a go.

Did you make a user account at the tmpgenc website? You can log in and get your license serial number there.

If you haven't done that (and you really should have, especially if you ever downloaded a software update), then you might have to contact customer support via this form: https://ssl.pegasys-inc.com/webapp/inquiry/serial?lang=en

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

Just a question. Moving up from XP to Win7, my old DVD Author 1.6 isn't working much any more (been a champ for years), so I'm looking at TAW 4. Took a couple of my old .tda projects to a friend's house to try his copy, and his TAW 4 wouldn't open them ("this isn't a TAW 4 project" or the like).

I've got a ton of templates that I use for DVD authoring, and given TAW's weird UI I'd be hesitant about having to re-create them all. Is there any way to persuade TAW 4 to open my original 1.6 .tda files?

Thanks!

Davey

TAW4 isn't sold anymore, so you won't be able to buy it, even if there was a workaround.

The current version, TAW5, can only open project files from TAW5, TAW4, and TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.

I think I could help you out here. You need an older version of TMPG DVD Authoring. Email me and I will try to help you out. johnxxiii@centrum.cz

Hello! I have 2 important questions, in this days try this product, is good but
There are options for BD authoring without recoding and it does directly 1:1?
I have created: intro+movie+trailer, after authoring this becomes a single file!
normally in the any BD structure are separated this 3 videos.
there is an option that allows me to have them all and 3 separated?

Are you putting them in separate tracks, or in the same track?
