I'm still evaluating TMPGEnc Author software but found out program is always trying to access the internet even when it's loaded. I took care of that via NOrton Internet Security. Why TMPGEnc need to spy on us?

On behalf of the TMPGEnc team I would like to make it perfectly clear that there is NO spyware in our software.

We have absolutely no need or wish to spy on our customers.

I sure hope so that's why I took the time to anwser your on-line survey. I hope you keep improving the program as I'm planning to buy it at the end of trial.

is it possible to allow other resolutions like 480x576, its very annoying to patch my dvb files before importing and patch them back again.
especially because this program is so useful for dvb captures because you can cut out the commercials with it.

I do agree with the request: giving the possibility to turn off the format check for power users would be a great enhancement.

I agree,

This would be an excellent feature!!!

I agree fully. I use Ulead Movie Factory 2 because I can "fool" it by patching the first MPEG header resolution entry. Doing so with Tmpgenc Author will result in a GOP error, using 480x576 (unpatched) will generate an error also at last step.
So it will be a very good idea to give the user an option like "Ignore resolution entries" or similar.

I use the latest version of TmpgEnc DVD Author.
I am Importing 2 video streams (vcd format)and
than create a dvd folder.
When bruning it to DVD, the audio and video are out of sync.
I tried this with other DVD authoring software and no problems occured

i can confirm this, the resampling from 44.1 to 48 khz causes desyncronisation.
if i convert the sound before with tmpegenc and then import it the sync is ok.

So, which is the correct frequency to use ? 44.1 or 48 ?

you have to resample the audio to 48kHz before importing in dvd author.

Just downloaded trial version. I have high expectations and expect shortly to comment on TMPEnc DVD Author. As TMPEnc enjoys high reputation software needs to deliver at $68.
Best of luck.
