TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.5 & 1.6 / TSUNAMI MPEG DVD Author BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
I too am able to run DVD Author, until I get to the DVD Write Tool....that's when I get "Drive Not Ready" message. I have a Sony Vaio with a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR 104 DVD burner. I too download movies and it was recommended to use this program for DVD burning....am I doing something wrong or is it my DVD burner itself?
PLease help, I'm extremely new at this and Extremely enthused with using more of the capabilities of my PC....
Hi I've just started using this product and when I creat the chapters in the program and then burn it using Nero. I dont see any chapters or menu's anyone one have any thoughts. I use the standard settings too in creating a DVD in TmpgEnc then use the DVD program. And default setting in Nero.
Similar problem here.
My first DVD player arrived today and I played my first DVD which I authored with TMPGEnc DVD Author. I set up chapter points but used no menu as there is only one video and there seems little point in making it more complicated to play than necessary. I read the players manual on changing chapters but it didn't appear to work. I was told on another forum that you don't need a menu for the player to recognise chapters. Maybe I just haven't sussed out the player yet, or the chapters weren't included.
I recognized problems to insert a source mpeg which is greater than 4 GB. Is there a limitation? It should be possible to import a 4,4 GB movie when the DVD-disc has 4,7Gb capacity!
yes, that´s right. But it should be possible to import a file which is larger than this. You can cut commercial advertising from the beginning, from the end and maybe in the middle. And my recordings are often 15 min. longer then the duration of the movie. I want to cut the movie in TDA so that it is not larger than 4,37 GB. In fact, I can even not import a 4,1 GB movie.
Is there anybody else who has problems with files larger than 4GB?
By the way: Of course I have XP and NTFS. It really seems to be a limitation of TDA.
I had no problems importing m2v files of 4.8 Gb.& more .Then cut out commercials and unwanted scenes.I always use demuxed audio & video files
for importing
Had no problem importing 5.2 Gb of m2v (generated by TMPGenc), then cut out bits and peaces until it would fit to 4.3 Gb (the label on the DVD says it is a 4.7 Gb which is a joke). My pc is P4, 2Ghz, with XP pro, 2 IDE HardDisks and one 200 Gb Firewire.
I agree with all of the above additions, I have not been able to make myself pay $68 for the software as is but if if tools for menu template creation and audio in the scene cut preview were added along with free upgrades for a determined period of time I would be more than willing to buy it. I have used the software for about 2 weeks making about 15 dvd's and I find it easy to use with decent features but when trying to put in chapter cuts, the lack of audio means I have a lot of trial and error trying to get the cut right.
Nice basic DVD authoring program, but without a built-in burner, it's definitely not worth the money. Ulead DVD Movie Factory blows this away, includes the ability to burn DVDs and create ISO images, and costs less.
this is sort of a multiple question.
i am trying to convert vhs (commercial movie) to dvd on single 4.7 gb disc
avi-tmpgenc-tmpgenc dvd author-dvd
best way to do this?
encode the movie with tmpgenc at exactly the 4.7 gb. best settings to do this? or encode larger file-author-then try to shrink it to 4.7 gb
tmpgenc dvd author locks up every time at 68% completed if file is larger than 4.7 gb. no matter size of file or which movie i encoded.

Make sure your systems harddrive has enough space (including SWAP files)and is NTFS. If that doesn't work. Make sure you capture you VHS with for example the XVID codec. (still very good quality)then to MPEG with TMPGEnc. Try the SVCD template, or DVD template, but lower your bitrate, because you can't create a better quality that VCD with a VHS capture, if you take 3000 kb/s is more than enough. Compress your audio (MP2) you will see you can fit 2 or 3 VHS tapes on one 4.7 Gb disc
Hehe, i'm using Win98 with FAT32! There's no need for NTFS because VirtualDub can produce segmented AVIs and TMPGEnc can load them as a complete Movie.
To Capture with a high compressing Codec is... a dump thing. It lowers the possible quality.
Maximal Filesize for DVD is 4.37 GByte. That's including Muxing-Overhead, so take care to produce smaler sizes.
The only point i was trying to make is that 4.7GB for one VHS tape capture
is way too much. Should be between 800 Mb and 1.5 Gb. Therefore i suggested to
capture with something like Xvid to get a good quality and low filesize.
Enabling NTFS would help, but indeed you could capture segmented avi's.
I prefer capturing (if your Processor alows you) in Mjpeg, Xvid and then frameserve to TMPG, but if you have enough HD space and your Processor is
fast enough be my guest...
I do my Captures in MJPEG because that leaves me enough PC-Power to do Realtime-Denoising and Realtime-Resizing while capturing. So the Encoding is done very, VERY fast, even using TMPGEnc. My machine is a P4 1.9 GHz, that's fast enough to do things like that.
I have been trying DVD Author and found the folloing problem. I started of with 4 MPG-1 files. The audio in the original files is perfectly in-line with the video. After adding them into a project in DVD-Author and creating a DVD there is a gap of about 2-3 seconds between audio and video. Does anyone know what could be the problem ?
I just did my first DVD from mpegs and got the same results you did. If anyone knows what is going on here I would really like to know. All of the disks I made with dvd sources worked perfectly though.
This is a great tool, making the process of dvb recording and dvd authoring very easy! Works great, no shift between audio and video.
Esp. for dvb recordings it would be great to have more than one audio source allowing more than one language!
Is there a way to cut and save demuxed files (video and (multiple) audio) without muxing?
My challenge is when I play the movie I've created in my PS2 after one of the cuts the screen goes black with green squares all over it. The only way to fix it is to reset the PS2.
When I play the same movie in my standalone Sony it's fine.
When I play the movie in PowerDVD it's fine, but I see a slight glitch in the video that coincides with when on the PS2 the video goes funky.
I create my vob's and I play the files using Power DVD software on my computer. I have both audio and video. I burn to a dvd-r and I have video but no audio when I put it in my stand-alone dvd player. I have burned other movies onto dvd-r and they play audio on my stand alone just fine. What is the problem here? By the way, this program is not creating any files in the default video_ts folder, only video_ts folder has the vob files and the .ifo's and .bup's. Please help.
