I am trying to use TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 to import video from a DVD RAM (.vro file) to my computer. TMPGEnc recognizes the multiple clips on the video (whenever the camera was stopped and restarted I assume) and imports them successfully. But I have not been able to find a way to then save each clip as a separate mpg file (or any video file format for the matter) and I'm wondering if this is even possible. If not, do you have any reccomendations on alternative software to do this? Its critical to me that the software automatically recognizes each clip and allow me to save each one as separate files without having to manual tell it where to split the video. Thanks in advance!
Some NLEs (but not all) state they have the ability to do automatic scene detection and divide video into separate clips based on changes in image content. Liquid, Pinnacle Studio were some that claimed to be able to do it. However, I've not tried it, but suspect the results would be mixed and fooled by events such as a camera flash or scene changes with minimal change in on-screen content.
I'm importing fully edited mpeg2 into TMPEGEnc AW to create a blu-ray disc. All files have the SR icon next to to them, should be smart-rendered. The only thing I want to do is add a few chapters to the video and create a menu.
All goes fine, but the final output has audio sync issues. The audio is not re-encode, it just jump ahead of the video at some point.
When I compare the original file and the output side-by-side (using Videoredo). The audio is perfectly in sync at first. Then, at some point it jumps by one and a half frame (45 ms). It stays like that until later on it jumps by another frame and a half. At that poin, the issue is starting to show.
Each time I use mpeg4 preset with CBR the bitrate is being set to 15000kbps no matter what bitrate I choose.
This is only when I use Intel SDK Hardware at both my laptop Intel QuickSync
or my deksktop Virtu system.
Thank you.
But till now this was working fine.
I haven't had to override the standard mpeg4 settings for that.
I don't understand why the setting for the bitrate is stuck to 15.000.
I see there is an updated version available -- version 5.2.3.66 (March 13)
Having just bought TVMW-5 early this year, I've never installed an update of it on my machine. Do I just download the new version and run the setup again? Will it keep all of my custom settings?
I see that release 5.0.6.23 has been available on the Japan site since April 2nd.
Perhaps it wil be out for the rest of us using release 5.0.5.22 soon.
I created files for BluRay to mpeg 2 with TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 I've imported into TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 to create menus and disc and the same are re-encoded again with a bit rate of less than 8000 "editable" smart rendering in this way it becomes useless software Video Mastering 5.
There is no way to prevent Authoring Works 5 redo the encoding?
The use of Video Mastering 5 has been necessary to use filters
"Sorry for grammatical errors but I do not speak English well"
We hereby confirm I have used blue ray standard mpeg compilant
I created the file bit rate of about 14000
when importing files created in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5, the average bit rate is 8000 I tried to set the average bit rate to 14000, but recoding the whole thing and it takes about an hour and a half and a blue ray creandomi with lower bit rate and created disc is free for 25%
Can you post a screenshot of where you're seeing the 8000 bitrate?
It still sounds like you've selected DVD-Video as your output format in AUTHORING WORKS 5 (I'm not talking about the video created with Video Mastering Works 5).
I do not know how to send the screenshot.
Then you say at the outset that the files created with TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 are in Blu Ray PAL 25 fps
amount when they choose in TMPGEnc Authoring Works as a project 5 blue ray PAL select the source files and add in track 1 then I press settings, then video and see the list of features including bitrate strangely I indicates 8000 and does not indicate correctly the bitarate used by TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5.
Then I did a test I converted with TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5, a video file in question blu ray project from PAL to NTSC amount of the file created in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5, blue ray NTSC project and I correctly marks the bit rate used by TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 which in this case is 13 765
Maybe TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 does not recognize files created with Mastering in blue ray 5 PAL.
I hope I have been more comprehensive.
I can't recreate your results. I encoded a file in Video Mastering Works 5 with the Blu-ray PAL output template. This file was then imported into Authoring Works 5 with Blu-ray PAL output. Bitrate is fine and the file smart renders. http://i45.tinypic.com/t7cytf.png
You can upload your screenshot to tinypic.com and post the link to the image here.
I did some tests and the problem and only in mpeg 2 no x264 720x576 PAL SD resolutions and in the other hand all right, but unfortunately I need to use this format because I am transferring files of old super 8 in blue ray, which makes it pointless to use superiorei resolutions could use x264 but the time for the radoppia econding
OK, now I see what the problem. I think it is expecting DVD bitrates, probably because the SD resolutions for Blu-ray were designed for backwards compatibility with DVD-Video.
Encode the video as PAL DVD and it will smart render in Authoring Works 5.
At this point, I'm not sure if this is an error or not. Maybe I can find the Blu-ray official specification somewhere.
You'd be right if it did with resolution 720x480 in NTSC at 29.97 fps SD MPEG 2 but rather with the latter TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 recognizes it as video files for blue ray
Good catch! Encoding at MP@HL for SD PAL MPEG-2 for Blu-ray seems to be the issue.
A workaround until they fix it is encoding at MP@ML in Video Mastering Works 5; doing so will allow the video to be smart rendered and retain the higher bitrate in Authoring Works 5.
Perfect!
We hope to be terminated because of Mastering 5 and selected @ mp automatic "becomes natural to leave the default" file and output are all @ hl.
is it possible to create a slideshow with only one I frame for each slide, of course without transition and animation. The file created will be shorter (about ten times for slides of 5 seconds). The product DMF7 from Corel do this.
Thanks
Anyone else have an issue where to program is seriously undersizing their projects? I created a project with 64 tracks, 3 seasons of a tv show, and told it to make it 23000mb in size. It took 5 hours to encode, and the end result, my directory is only 13 gigs. 10 gigs difference? All the files would easily fit on a bluray before they were authored, yet the program stated originally that they would take over 75 gigs as it wanted to encode everything at 3000. I did not manually edit each one down to the appropriate bitrate, but I should not have had to. So I am wondering do I waste another 5 hours of encoding, or do I just say screw it. I had the same issue with a previous job I setup where I told it to make the files the size of a bluray automatically, with no custom size, and it still drastically undersized the job to 16 gigs.
The reason I have so many tracks, is because each episode has 5 chapters. So I can not just drop an entire season into 1 track, unless I do not import the chapter information. Kind of annoying when you want to be able to skip the intro or ending of the episodes. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this serious issue with size calculation?
NO it does not. The files that are created are even smaller than the source files. I have just tired the same project again, this time telling it to make it the size of a dual layer, and the final output is only 37 gigs. What is the point of having a target for our final output if the program can not do the math to calculate the bitrate required to make the project the proper size? Is ANYONE else having this problem. I am seriously regretting spending the cash for this program, because if this is how things are going to go with multi track blurays, then this program is not worth the money I spent on it.
How could the produced disc look and play to my satisfaction when it is no where near the size/quality I wanted? I am going to try to manually set the bitrate for all 64 tracks, and see if that works. Damn this is going to suck.
I'm a TAW user, all the way back to 1, and TAW-4 works great. However, I'm having the same problem with TAW-5. I'll make a project, and TAW-5 says its rendered files will be 20Gb quantity. So, I let it author the shows, and it completes the authoring. HOWEVER, when I try to burn the files (IMGBurn) to Blu-Ray discs, ImgBurn says the rendered files are too large (which they are!). Those supposed 20Gb of files now may be 29Gb after rendering. Help, please!!!
