TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring BBS [ Sorted by thread creation date ]
You can change the encoding with a text editor. A nice one I like using is called EmEditor. You can download a free trial of it here: http://www.emeditor.com/
Once it's installed, you can open the .srt file with EmEditor, then select "Save As..." in the File menu. In the Save As window, there is a drop-down menu where you can select UTF-8 encoding.

I Just tried TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.0 With Divx Authoring and I have
a few questions about it.
What does it transcode the video for?
Can't it just author the DivX files without encoding them?
and another thing...
Why does the only subtitles language it support is English?
If your video is too big, it will transcode it to fit your target media (dl dvd, single layer dvd, etc.).
DivX DVDs will always be re-encoded because of the DivX Ultra file structure and the fact that "Smart Rendering" can't be applied to DivX files. A DivX Ultra DVD is basically one huge file which includes the tracks and menus. So it will take all of your separate clips and re-encode them together even if your clips are already in DivX format.
Hi! I hope someone can help me...
I don't know how to get background audio in the menu!
When I try, I get this message: "The menu background audio option is
currently disabled for this project. Background audio selection requires the
background audio option to be enabled. See the menu settings window audio tab."
And I can't find that "tab"! Please help me! :)
In the Menu Stage there is a button in the upper left corner called "Global DVD menu settings." Click that, and then go the "Motion menu" tab. There, you can add background audio and/or make your thumbnails/background animate.
Er, to clarify, the Global DVD menu settings is where you enable BGM and motion, and adjust the duration. To actually add the BGM you have to go back to the Menu item editor (which is where I think you saw that message) and then you can add your audio file.
An error occured while canceling the title copy to the hard drive.
Code: 23
Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the trial version but still get this error when I try to import dvd files and have them writen to the hard drive. Any ideas?
I've attempting my first import from a DVD that was created on my new Panasonic DVD Recorder. The program wizard checks out the DVD and asks me to "Select the VIDEO_TS.IFO title to import. It gives me 2 Title lists to select...one called Playlist 1 and one called Title 1. each on is 4290 MB in size. When I try to import these, all I get are black frames. No errors, just all black frames. Anyone have any clues? I've been able to open these VOB files with other software so I'm not sure if TEMGEnc Author has some compatility problem or what. I'm using the Trial version of Author 3.
I have a TV series with 12 30 minutes episodes that I'd like to get on one DVD. I used TMPGEnc 4.0 to create XDVD format mpg files from the XviD originals. The total size of all 12 files is 3.97G. However, when I load the 12 files in TEMPGEnc DVD Author 3 and try to create an output, it fails with error "Specified transcode size is unreachable". The minumum size for the 12 files is 4656 MB.
I have created (in the UK, for normal PAL use) a DVD with a slideshow and some film clips. It works fine on any player here. The question is - will it work when I send a copy to a friend in the US? - and if not, what do I need to do? (I have various TMPGEnc tools)
Whether or not your friend in the US will be able to play it depends on his DVD player. Some DVD players can decode NTSC and PAL video signals, but if he just has an average, ordinary DVD player, then chances are that he won't be able to read the PAL DVD.
You may just have to recreate the whole disc in NTSC mode in DVD Author 3. It should be able to convert the PAL video to NTSC automatically. I haven't done this myself, but I've made NTSC footage into a PAL DVD.
I am getting the following error when I try to burn a movie to DVD:
"there is no usable DVD writing drive installed". Nero or IMGBURN works just fine and allows me to write DVD's but for some reason TMPGENC will not. Any ideas?
First a friend a mine had this problem an there was no way to fix it. Now I'm stuck with this too. I've set up an new PC system but installed the old DVD drive witch worked fine in my old system, but the Software does not recognize it now. So I guess it has nothig to do with the drive. Maybe with the way windows is installed (?) beause my friend an I are using a SATA drive as the boot partition. (In my old system I used an IDE drive to install Windows XP on.)
i ve tried to use the program to Convert Mkv files to DVD but most of the times there were audio sync problems in the final DVD, or the playback was not at the appropriate speed (slower video.. audio normal)...
Can u pls make ur program to be more compatible with MKVs?
I have tried TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX® Authoring, realy stable program but there are some lacking features:
- It would save alot of time if this program could do batch jobs for encoding more than one file.
Request:
* Adding feature for doing multiple jobs at the same time
- When I want to make a DivX disc from the correctly encoded DivX files(from this program),instead of joinning these files together the program converts these files again. This way takes very lo....ng time to create the disc and the quality would be loss again after the disc created.
Can anyone help me with this problem. See below message sent to support. Still waiting to hear back from them so maybe somebody out there can help!
I'm designing DVD's for use in public booths and DVD release. Therefore i need to be able to create DVD menus that will display for 60seconds then autostart regardless if any interaction has taken place.
Is this possible?
Thanks, Matt
( PS sorry for double post. Messed up tittle 1st time round )
I'm afraid this isn't possible. You can only have the option to loop the playback of the actual clips. Once you go to a menu, it'll stay there until you choose something.
Your best option is to continually loop the video footage. Maybe you can have one tv showing the video footage and another showing the menu?
Or, if you can capture your menu as a video clip, you can then add it as another track in the loop.
