When using the Chaptering Tool and using the automatic methods chapters are not given unique names. This causes DivX Player 6.7.0 to fail to use the chapters in the final video properly. All chapters will have the name w or display some other Unicode character. Selecting those chapters returns the DivX video to the first frame in the video no matter what chapter is selected.

My request is that either by default or by using an option; there be a way to automatically name the chapters when using the chaptering tool. I think it would be preferred that the chapters have a sequential naming convention such as 1,2,3... or even have an option for more advanced auto naming abilities.

Thank you.

The divx engine in tmpgenc dvd author 3 with divx authoring is rather old.
That is to say: divxenc.ax, divxdec.ax, divxmux.ax should be updated. The corresponding files in Corel DVD Copy 6 pro are much newer than in TDA3.

I use the chaptering tool to automatically generate chapters. The problem is that if I don't manually do through and name each chapter after they are automatically created, the chaptering doesn't work in the final video file.

I will get some Chinese character as the chapter names (same character for every chapter) and selecting a chapter returns to the beginning of the video when using DIVX's official player ver. 6.7.0.

How do I fix this and what am I doing wrong?

If there is no fix, is there a way to automatically generate chapter numbers/names so I don't have to manually name each chapter?

Thank you.

John,

Are you able to play your DVD on any DVD player or do you have to have a DivX player only for the video to play correctly?

TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX Authoring v3.1.1.174
when I try to modify the menu configuration, the font selection could not show the Chinese font name(for example:Song , only show ???.

Just started using TMPGEnc author and like a lot of things about it, but I having trouble getting a menu the way I want.

I have a TOP menu with several chapters, one is DOCUMENTS, what I want to do is click on DOCUMENTS, go to a sub menu with 3 different choices, each choice is a collection of several documents. Choosing any of the 3 would take you to another menu displaying all the pages individually for play.

Closest I can get is 2 menu levels and use slideshow, but it does not do what I really want, am I missing something simple here ?

I get the aforementioned error when i try to load the disc writing tool. I have re-installed cleaned the registry and it still comes up. B's recored is started in services. No idea what it could be any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi. I successfully created an ultra divx with menus. I used DiVX player to test it on the computer and everything works find. But when I try to play it on my DVD/DiVX player it goes straight into the movie. The menus never appear. Just in case I got a philips dvdr3505. Any help would be great.

Your player probably isn't DivX Ultra certified. If it doesn't have the DivX Ultra logo on it, then it won't be able to display the menus.

For differences between DivX certified and DivX Ultra certified go here:

Thx for the repply. I didnt know there was a substantial difference between DivX abd DivX Ultra. Anyways, thx for the help :)

I'm trying to create a PAL DVD from a 25fps avi file with pcm audio. Everything is fine through the start/source/simulation flow. When I try to create the DVD I get an error "No stream available. (error Code 0x80048001)"
Any ideas what might be wrong ?

Turn off the motion for thumbnails in the chapter section.
You can find it in the "global dvd settings -> motion" and then just uncheck thumbnails.
It definetly worked for me!

I downloaded the "TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX® Authoring Menu Templates" looking for something a bit different than what came with my purchase of DVD Author. I found one that almost works perfectly in this package http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/template/tda30_template3.html (The Autumn Moon template).

The only issue with this is the placement of the preview and chapter links. I'd like to move them, but all these items are showing as locked.

Can they be unlocked so they can be moved? If so, how?

Unfortunately, the premade menu templates can't be edited. :(

Can anyone suggest a way to create or edit the backgroung/button template files?

I have 2 DVI clips ' Flrida trip march 2007 and Florida trip October 2007

I have sucessfully created a Menu, keeping the 2 clips seperate so that I can choose which one.

I have also created 'Unseen chapter breaks' as i'm burning to DVD+R DL

Flrida trip march 2007 (has 17 chapters)

Flrida trip october 2007 (has 38 chapters)

Now I have sucessfully got everything working

But When I choose the first option Flrida trip march 2007 when this clips ends i want it to return to Title Menu' so that i can choose the second clip Flrida trip october 2007

Yet It wont.. It continues into the next clip, as the movie slider has incorperated the clips together (with chapters), even though they are 2 seperate DVI clips with Menus.

If I choose Flrida trip October 2007 its goes to the Title menu but not with Flrida trip march 2007 . I have looked in GLOBAL DVD SETTINGS and I can't see any options.

I have also used the arrow settings so that clip 1, does't go to clip 2, but its not working

Please Help

zack

Are they in two separate tracks in the Source stage? Check to see if your clips are in the same track, if they are, you need to add a track and then drag the second clip into it.

Hi - - I'm having a problem with tx4, but I get nothing, when I click on the board link.
Perhaps, someone can answer this question here?
I have a video with srt subtitles.
They load fine, in the subtitles filter.
But some of the subs have italics command (<I> & </I>), and when tx4 transcodes, it has the commands over the video, rather than actually making them italics.
Is there any fix for this... or any suggestions?
I was going to edit the commands out, but there were just too many.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks very much!!

I recorded a show from television and used TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.1.1.174 to cut commercials and put on a disc.
When I watched the disc, there was no closed caption.

I had to redo it with my old TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6.26.73. When I watched the disc after using the old version, the closed caption was there.

Can anyone tell me why there was no closed caption when I used the TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.1.1.174? And how I can fix the problem?

Thank you.

did you get an answer to your question about closed captioning?

NO! I have never received an answer to the closed captioning question.
When I import a show from dvd-rw, the first screen always says no subtitle.
I don't want a subtitle, I want closed caption.
When I import the same show from dvd-rw, using TMPGEnc DVD Author v1.6.34.89,I
always have the closed caption.Why?
Can you help?
Thanks

>did you get an answer to your question about closed captioning?

No, I never have. Can you help?
I don't mean sub-titles, I mean closed caption.
TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 always says there are no sub-titles anyway.

Only TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6.34.89 always keeps the closed caption.
