TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.5 & 1.6 / TSUNAMI MPEG DVD Author BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
I used TMPGenc to create a DVD with menus. It played fine on my PC using POWERDVD. But, when I try to play on a standard DVD Player (Panasonic RV31), the disc is not recognized.
I can burn the DVD without Menus and it plays fine, so something about the menus is preventing the DVD from geing recognized.
for no good reason I decided to add a file to my dvd proggie for the hell of it being it was a ripped DVD just to see what would happen, now its a rip of that new flick "flying daggers" and the quality is gorgeous and I took a break to get a cup of coffee and answer a question in the TMPGenc forum for some poor dude, well I then opened my progiie and where it says add file or add DVD I hit add file and clicked on my VDV Rip file and my DVD drive in my NEC DVDRW went nuts........!! I mean NUTS.. It started revving like you were racing a car engine out of control, it went so fast that I actually got scared because I started smelling that burning plastic smell!! Lol I hope I didnt fry it and I doubt it but if anyone else wants a laugh try adding any MKV file and let me know what happens!! Oh and while were here and tho this is the wrong forum, I tried changing the value of my "priority" on my VFAPI plug in on my TMPGEnc proggie but I dont see how you guys do it?? I tried like right clicking so I could delete the value but to no avail, I uncheked and rechecked the DirectShow box in case that was how you did it, I see the value as -1 but I would like to set it to a normal or +2 if possible.......any idea's?
I have installed the latest version of the AC3plugin (1.10), registered it, but the Environmental Settings window of TmpgEnc DVD Author (1.6.26.73, latest version too I think) still says 'Cannot find the Dolby Digital (AC-3) Encoder'.
Therefore I can not hear sound in the preview window (the DVDs generated do have sound though).
Can you help me with this ? I'm getting desperate, have tried everything I could think of.
Thanks a lot in advance
I am having the same problem. I have Windows XP and am using the "add or remove programs" program because my copy of TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.5 did not come with an uninstaller. Is there an uninstall program somewhere or can this problem be fixed?
My goal is to archive miniDV on DVD. Just bought 3.0 XPress and Author 1.6, don't need anything fancy, just high quality. Saved to .avi via firewire with MS MovieMaker 2. Encoded with TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress, MPEG2 with PCM audio. Authored with Author 1.6. At every step of the way, the software indicated that the file was 3.7GB and would fit on DVD except when I tried to record to DVD+RW. When I selected the VIDEO_TS folder in the DVD Writing Tool, it showed that I needed twice as much capacity, 7.4GB. Why? When I look at the size of the files in Windows, they total 3.7GB. Original tapes are 60 minutes. Will I be able to get 60 minutes of tape on a DVD without compromising quality? Why does TMPGEnc software give the thumbs up regarding capacity until the moment of truth?
As titled, the installation process pauses every time it gets to the screen which says ".... it may take several minutes..... " but it can never continue.

I used DVD Author to burn a Piodata DVD+R DL DVD using a Sony DRU 700A writer. When the burning had finished, and I visibly inspected the dvd, it appeared as if only portions of the DVD had been written on (about 50%). Only the first 10 minutes, or so, of the DVD could be played by CyberLink PowerDVD or by my Sony DVD player which is hooked up to my TV.
When I used Nero Burning ROM 6.6.0.1 to burn a new DVD containing the AUDIO_TS AND VIDEO_TS folders, which had been produced by DVD Author, the finished DVD had a normal appearance, and both PowerDVD and my Sony DVD player were able to play this 2nd DVD.
Has anyone else had any problems burning double layer DVDs with the burner program that is part of DVD Author?
I then tried to burn a 2nd DVD, while using the same files, and this DVD came out a "coaster". So, maybe it's a media problem. I have ordered three Verbatim DL DVDs, and when they come in I'll try to burn the same files again. These DL DVDs are costing me about $10 each, so it's rather an expensive way to make coasters. I never had a coaster problem with single layer DVDs.
I have just received the Verbatim media and immediately successfully burned a DVD+R DL two hour video with the TMPGEnc DVD 1.6 Author DVD Writing Tool. Everything worked OK, so I guess the problem all along was with the Piodata DL media. So, no more Piodata DL media for me.
I like to create DVD's with music videos and giving my DVD an option to randomly play tracks would be awesome. Since I can fit 2 hrs a big part of the time I end up hearing the first 10 songs or so while the ones towards the back gets ignored. Would like to see this option in future releases.
Some commerical DVD's have still pictures(BMP/JPG), like a picture gallery. The menu would have back/forward buttons to select different pictures to view.
I would like to have this option in a future version of DVD Author. Currently the only way to add pictures, is to make them the background picture of a Track Menu. But when you do this, each track also needs a video file. I would like to add pictures and view them, without having to add a video file for that track. Thanks...
