Question - Quicktime needed for V5 but discontinued and vulnerable No.71982
BOBC  2023-01-08 08:04:12 ( ID:tfcyoa98g5o )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, reinstalling my TMPGenc Authoring works 5.2.6.65 onto a win10 64bit pro PC and upon running it it says needs quicktime 7.7.4 or later installing.
I look for latest and see Apple no longer develop it. 7.7.9 last one due to vulnerabilities. Article elsewhere says avoid unless need for video progs, in which case untick all except essentials option.

so wishing not to have vulnerabilities with my new win10pc build, I am worried !

No I cant afford V6, build has left me totally skint, as well as Santander who halved my credit limit after I had to close the existing card as their application form didnt have an instruction box to do so, I even rang them asking them to do so, and they said they cant, must use the form to do so, but it had no box etc etc, so I nuked ut then applied for its replacement, then they tell me they cant carry fwd the credit limit I had, they never warned me beforehand ! So now I have no credit available. I cancelled groceries this week to try and cope. I rarely use TMPFenc, I wish to author not DVD's but files that when run show the graphical menus but avoid dumbing down to SD and burnind discs. So sticking with V5, will it do that ?

TMPGEnc wasn't working correctly, so I inserted my CD to do a reinstall. All that seems to have happened is that I lost the original program and there's no new program installed. In need to get the program back on my computer.

Log in to your TMPGEnc account, then you can download it directly from there.
The serial is also located on your account.
https://ssl.pegasys-inc.com/webapp/?lang=en

Suggest updating to TAW6 though if you have an NVIDIA Geforce graphics card, because TAW5 has problems with CUDA in the later drivers.
Does not work with driver version 457.30 for mine, but i had no problems getting it to work in TAW6.



Question - Compressing two tracks to fit onto 4.7Gb disc ? No.71702
BOBC  2021-01-21 01:23:50 ( ID:z00m7elpo.w )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,
TMPGenc Authoring Works 5
I have two tracks
1 is 40m 16 s
2 is 42m 44s
they show as orange beyond the 4.7Gb limit,, 226mm is the 4.7Gb length and 52mm of orange beyond it !

What are the steps I need to follow, to get both onto the 4.7Gb DVD disc ? please talk me through it. I appreciate there might be a slight loss of quality, its already SD from HD but I cant afford to use up 14 discs having 14 tracks to burn to dvd-r for an elderly friend.

Its annoying as I was hoping to put 4 tracks onto one disc, so I will be using up a lot more discs. I shall use DVD_RW and erase and re-use afterwards if I have enough !
He hasnt a tv with usb socket else showing the videos would be dead easy, but old folk have old kit !

Cheers

Question - Menu and chapters No.71694
Spirit  2021-01-01 02:19:24 ( ID:ozsgonibjcc )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I am creating a blu-ray live video music disc, so basically i have the main menu with "play all" and "concert select".

In concert "select menu" i have a list of concerts to watch. if you select a concert it then goes in to a "song select menu" and this is where the problem start.

If i create chapters for every song in the concert it then creates a new page for every song, so i have for example:- 22 pages each containing a button to play that song. I want all 22 songs on one menu page.

Is this possible?
Thanks for any help.


tkrave  2021-02-23 16:43:57 ( ID:5kzeb8lesb2 )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If I'm understanding correctly, each song is really just a chapter in a track, correct?

If so, it's really a matter of choosing the correct menu template for your chapter menu. I would choose a track menu with 22 thumbnails on it. You'll need to choose the custom template option in the menu wizard.

Hi, recently I got my new PC build and installed my old copy of TAW5 and noticed it never used the CUDA cores for rendering, I enabled cuda in the properties of TAW5 and all but CPU 100% all the time, do I have to setup CUDA on my video card or something? I have all driver updates, making BLU RAY disc from HD Avi files. Thanks!

Question - de interlacing No.71333
BOBC  2019-07-21 19:16:59 ( ID:jxbzckanggn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

I have been searching for a modern flat screen tv that will display SD footage broadcast camcorder, tv recordings etc, with same definition as I see on my massive Sony Wega KD 32DX51U CRT two man lift TV, and have eventually found one, a Panasonic HD Tv, however any medium to fast movement displays a haircomb toothed edge along edges of the moving items.

I am told this is interlacing, the dvd player used in the shop was set to progressive, as these TVs are nowadays progressive.

I had fed it a dvd made using TMPGenc DVD Authoring Works and set to progressive, but am told just taking Interlaced and making a progressive disc isn’t enough.
Even footage on it recorded from Virgin Media Tivo box last year had the comb effect, surely that’s coming out of the tivo progressive as it presumes its going into a current flatscreen ?

I don’t see any comb effect at all on my Sony Wega CRT, just stunning detail not seen on any flatscreen until the one just found, which doesn’t better it, just matches it. CRT's were designed for Interlaced (or vice versa) I am told.

De interlace the original footage then make a progressive dvd disc again I am told to try.

Can TMPGenc DVD Authoring works 5 de-interlace my footage ? It first gets taken to PC via a dvd_ram disc then quickstream fixed in VideoredoPlus making it an .mpg then authored in TMPGenc.

I am not familiar with de-interlacing.


Regards

BOBC

Video going to a HD flatscreen can still be interlaced, and broadcast/cable TV might be interlaced from the source to save on bandwidth or because they are limited to a certain resolution/framerate, depending on what channel you're watching. So your footage from your Virgin Media Tivo Box can be interlaced if the source was interlaced.

Authoring Works 5 should be able to deinterlace your footage. In the Source stage, click on the Settings button for your track. Under the Video tab, change the Output Mode to "Encode All Video Streams as Below". You should then be able to change the Scan Type to Progressive.

You will have to repeat that for each track, if you have multiple tracks.

Hi, I had used TMPGenc to make a progressive and an Interlaced dvd, maybe I used that method, dont recall, but the progressive played with tooth comb effect on a current flatscreen played from a dvd player set to progressive.

was it that the dvd player should have been set to interlaced ?

was it that the TV was 1080p and I stand no chance of losing the combs unless I buy a 1080i ?

It gives SD quality matching the detail I see, and others can't, seen in SD using my Sony WEGA crt so I want to buy it as its the first current or not so current flatscreen plasma lcd etc technology that manages to give definition in SD as good as the WEGA, but I need to find out how big an issue its going to be with dvd's I make.

Can I fix the comb effect in the editing is my quest at the moment.

BOBC


tkrave  2019-07-26 08:54:25 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If it was properly deinterlaced, the combing should be gone or minimized. Setting the DVD player to interlaced won't do anything, I would think.

I suggest trying to deinterlace a sample clip with Authoring Works and viewing the resulting clip on your computer to confirm that it is actually deinterlaced. If it is, then you can author your DVD without worry (at least, that part of the process won't be to blame).

A 1080p TV should be able to display a 1080i image as well, so I wouldn't bother looking for a new flatscreen.


BOBC  2019-08-11 05:28:15 ( ID:jxbzckanggn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I cannot see where in TMPGenc dvd authoring works 5 I tell it to deinterlace a clip. in the clip settings I see option to re-encode output which makes selectable another drop down with interlace or progressive but I need to deinterlace then create a progressive clip. Furthermore to have a choice of a few deinterlacing options would be better as I see there are 4 methods according to another youtube video, some are not so good.

Just where is the deinterlace option to be found ?

tkrave  2019-08-13 15:09:14 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Progressive Scan means non-interlaced. I've run my own tests and setting the track to progressive deinterlaced the video; it will automatically deinterlace the video. If it is not working, change the option for Field Order.

Like I said, the best thing to do is to do quick test and encode a very short clip and then view the output files to make sure it is deinterlacing properly.


BOBC  2019-10-15 01:50:13 ( ID:jxbzckanggn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,
Thanks, back at this on eve of buying TV, I can see those settings so will try that (though no choices given compared to what I see in handbrake such as yadif) or lossless in HD vid etc prog, and so to see how well TAW does I will compare to de-interlacing using another prog.

To that end, I have tested handbrake and also HD Video converter Factory 15.4 for de-interlacing to compare to TMPGenc's abilities, as certainly the HD etc prog I found gave a result matching original when I chose lossless, vbr, 25fps, PAL, and resolution as per the original (720 x 576). Handbrake on default settings turned a grass football pitch into a featurless woozy mess. Also it changed 16:9 to 1.728 whatever that was as well as altering 720 to 700.

When authoring a dvd I see the interlace or progressive option for each clip and select interlace, when authoring all my interlaced clips , and choose 16:9 (I dont mix 4:3 and 16:9 on same disc. Not sure if one can but I dont.) then comes menu then simulation then burn and nowhere do I see an option to tell it to burn an interlaced or progressive. I assume TAW sees all interlaced and knows it must not burn progressive., likewise if it has been told footage as added is progressive (my de-interlaced footage done beforehand) it will burn a progressive disc, AM I RIGHT ?

I hope this TV I am after doesnt require me to deinterlace all my footage as its going to take me years. If it receives broadcast interlaced it would deinterlace.

tkrave  2019-12-27 15:00:42 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

The interlace and progressive setting for the individual clip properties is a flag setting and won't cause the clip to be re-encoded. It's editable in case the flag is wrong and needs to be corrected. This flag setting is read by the player so it knows what type of clip it is. A wrong setting might cause playback errors in some players, but I believe most modern players are smart enough to play the clip regardless.

TAW will not burn an entire disc as progressive or interlaced unless the tracks are set that way. Each track can be set as progressive or interlaced, and that is how each track will be burned to disc. However, I'm not completely sure it will automatically burn an all-interlaced disc as interlaced. If your clips are DVD-compliant, then they should remain untouched, but if they are not DVD-compliant, TAW will re-encode them -- possibly as progressive, but I'm not sure.

So the best option would be to manually set the track settings to interlaced to make absolutely sure it will remain interlaced. However, if your clips are DVD-compliant, you shouldn't have to do that. If your output is extremely fast, then your clips are probably DVD-compliant.

Also, you can put 4:3 and 16:9 footage on the same disc as long as they are in separate tracks. If you mix 4:3 and 16:9 footage in the same track TAW will add black bars to letterbox or pillarbox the footage that doesn't match the aspect ratio set in the track settings.



Question - How to check if I need to allocate higher bitrate for subtitles No.71212
benoitm  2019-02-19 01:13:59 ( ID:ssxulmeekwr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Is there a way to check whether I need to enable the option to allocate higher bitrate for DVD subtiles, without carefully watching the whole film with subtitles turned on ?
Feature film is pretty long, has already been carefully encoded and hence I would like to avoid re-encoding with a lower bitrate for the video, to allow higher bitrate for subtitles.

In case of insufficient bandwith for subtitles, will dropped subtitles occur with software players as well as with home DVD players ?

Question - Disc Writing Tool Could Not Be Started No.71187
Spassvogel  2019-01-07 16:56:35 ( ID:ssx/zsqu/ym )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]


I've been using Authoring works 5 for a few years with no problems. (I purchased a license and it's a legit installation). Today when I tried to write a DVD project I got a popup that the "Disc Writing Tool Could Not Be Started. It is possible the installation is not correct"

Any ideas? I downloaded the install file from my Pegasys account and tried to re-run it, but there is no "repair" option of course. I can only fully remove the program. My next step is to try to remove it and then install again from scratch, but it's annoying that this happens when I'm in the middle of a project that is due in a matter of hours.

Any solutions out there? I can't get support from Pegasys any more because they don't support Authoring Works 5.

Try and use a general contact form from their website and they might help you out even though it's an older product. No guarantees but it's worth a shot.



Question - what settings for simple start page No.71178
BOBC  2019-01-03 21:21:10 ( ID:jxbzckanggn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,
There are so many variables to choose from, what settings do I choose to get the following to appear on TV when disc inserted as so far after 5 attempts I keep getting first page without my thumbnails and names of tracks beside them.

I want a nice background with thumbnails top to bottom and beside each one the name of the footage or as it is called 'track name'.
Tracks clips chapters etc not sure. I have brought into TMPGenc my .mpg footage, each is about 5 mins long on different subjects.
I have browsed to them all and imported them then used setting to give them their names.
These are tracks I think !
I dont want a page on which you click to then show another page , so I am trying to avoid Title page, I simply want to see my tracks.
I want to be able to click on a track thumbnail and the track plays, When it ends the menu appears with the tracks again.
If there isnt space on the page for all the tracks, then I need a button for page 2.

Just what are the exact steps to get this ?

BOBC


tkrave  2019-01-11 03:56:51 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Are you making a DVD or a Blu-ray?

Here's some basic instructions.

1.) Put your clips in their own tracks at the Source stage.

2.) In the Menu stage, choose to make a Custom Menu. Select the menu layout that looks the most similar to what you want (you can move things around later). Choose a background you like or use your own.

3.) Choose the "Top menu only" option when it comes up.

4.) For disc-insertion action, choose to view the top menu. For track playback end action, choose to display the top menu.

That's basically it! Once you finish setting up your menu, you can edit each individual page to look how you want it to look. Double-click on a menu page in the page list to open the menu page editor. You can then move the thumbnails and track names around, change the background, etc.

HI,
thats what I needed, thanks.
Though I am struggling a bit on custom versus template, I wanted 10 thumbs on my single page and template offers 4 or 5, I found 8 at base of a list, but I must get my head around use of custom a bit more.

what surprises me is lack of english spoken tutorials in youtube on TAW5, and tuts on working with interlaced and also creating menus, the menu options still baffle me a bit.

Question - TVMW6 does not shutdown the host PC ? No.71173
benoitm  2018-12-31 22:47:24 ( ID:yvwgfnhvwrl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When I choose Shutdown as finishing task, it seems the system goes to sleep instead of shutting down. Is there somethnig I have to check somewhere ? (this is Windows 10 / 1803)


benoitm  2018-12-31 22:48:41 ( ID:yvwgfnhvwrl )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Ooops - I mean TAW5 of course


tkrave  2019-01-11 05:09:16 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Do you have other software running that might be interrupting the shutdown process? I just tried it with my TAW5 and mine shutdown correctly after output. Also on Windows 10.


benoitm  2019-02-19 01:16:21 ( ID:ssxulmeekwr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I need to check this the next time, but in any case, I don't have the problem with TVMW6


benoitm  2019-03-19 17:24:43 ( ID:aacy2tticna )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Update: the same problem exists with TVMW6 on this machine.
The only visible track left by this action is in the Windows System log:

Log Name: System
Source: User32
Date: 18/03/2019 23:46:51
Event ID: 1074
Task Category: None

Reason Code: 0x0

Comment:

the next event in the System log is only 8 seconds later and is an information-level event from 'Time service', but also in the Application log an event 102 from ESENT where 'The database engine (10.00.17134.0000) is starting a new instance (0)'.
This would suggest a reboot instead of a shutdown....although I see no clear event related to a reboot (e.g. events from the kernel; and 8 seconds seems a bit short for a reboot anyway)
